365 Project: Days 1 + 2

I've decided to do a 365 project. This means that I will take a picture every day for a year and post them. I can't guarantee them every day, but I'm planning on making sure I post one FOR every day, although the actual postings may be every once in a while.

I don't think I really have a goal or a purpose for doing this. I just want to do it for fun. It'd be cool to see how much (or if) my pictures change over a year. It's also going to be fun to look back and see what I did on the exact day that i took the picture. I'm not really a journaler, only my prayers. So i normally don't really keep track of what i do every day.

So here we are at days 1 and 2.

Day 1 is of my precious dog, Sawyer. I never knew that an animal could mean so much to someone. I sound like one of the crazy dog-people, but I honestly always have been an animal lover. She is the most emotional dog I've ever seen in my life. Her eyes are like a direct link to how she's feeling. We always talk about how "sensitive" she is. We've got a plethora of names for her including: snowflake, sunray, presh, snickers, pumpkin, scooby, etc. When she gets scared from storms she'll follow you around like a shadow, and she snores when she sleeps. She tries to be really tough, but is somewhat of a wimp. She is such a unique piece of our family and life honestly wouldn't be the same without her.

Day 2 is a picture from the cottage of a beloved friend, Gretchen. She's got a house in Bethany that they just built, and her closet doors in her bedroom are made out of the windows from her family's old cottage that they tore down to rebuild the new one. I've been friends with her since the day after I was born, she actually came to the hospital a day after I was born. We've always had a unique friendship and connection, and we've been close friends for forever. I got to spend some quality time with her today along with Kori (another long-time friend). We just sat in her room and caught up. Gretch goes to school in Texas, so I normally only see her in the summertime. It's always refreshing to see her during the holidays. :) The first picture is my 365 project, the second is of Gretch, and the third is of the three of us.
