I have decided to challenge myself this year to take a photo for everyday of the year 2011. From this challenge I would like to become a better photographer, learn more about my equipment, lighting and expand my creativity! I think this will be a great way to look back on the year! As well as learning to Treasure those little moments and things that make us smile on a daily basis!

May 11
Lots & lots of unpacking & trying to find somewhere for the kids to play!! Thankfully this thing was not packed way down in the bottom of a box!!
May 10 we move in...
Today was a crazy great day! We arrived at our new home around 8 am and the movers arrived shortly after with our things! It's crazy to see everything you belong packed up on one HUGE truck all in boxes!! wow! & those guys work fast! I should have took a pic of the truck that was in front of our yard from 8 to 5. but i did get a pic of all the boxes in our house! wow! talk about overwhelming!

Friends!!
Today some of our friends from NC came down to Fl bc they are moving here in a few months! YAY!! It's sooo nice to have people who are actually your friends move to the same area as you, especially when you don't know anyone! We hope they can find a place near us! Can't wait for summer nights and hanging out in our back yard! Today was fun, we spent some time with T&J. They went to the beach with us for a lil bit and then we all went out to eat at a pretty cool place on the beach called "The Boathouse". lil man decided he found his new parents! ha ha. He's such a friendly lil guy! Here are a few pics from our evening!

Looking for a house!
We went looking for a place to live today! Preferrably a house! The first 8 we looked at were really old and run down, and not in the kind of neighborhood hood we wanted to be in! All in the same price range! One of the last houses we finally looked at was perfect! practically brand new and in a seemingly nice neighborhood! Our baby girl was really excited too. The first time all day she was giggling and talking! It was really scary to know that out of all the houses we looked at we only liked 3, one was out of our price, the other not ready to move in, and THIS ONE, we had to decide before 8 am the next day b/c someone else was on the list to look at it if we didn't take it! Wow, talk about pressure! But, I prayed about it and many thoughts ran through my head as the day went by, I slept and even in the morning on the way to take our deposit! A few things stuck out to me though! The fact that it was the only house that our baby girl was excited about! (funny huh, but to me it meant something). Also, it was the ONLY one we really liked. and then the fact that we had to turn around 2 times on the way to take our deposit! Some may have said, that is a sign to not get it, but My savior does NOT cause confusion (getting lost), which means the devil was trying to get us lost, and frustrated with each other so that we would change our mind! So in my mind! We found the RIGHT PLACE! We have to wait until next tue to move it! but that is fine :) Here is a temporary, not so great pic of our soon to be home sweet home!
First night in FL
The first day of May we arrive in FL.... to live! This is a view of the tree's and scene into the alley near our hotel/mini apartment! I think it's a really cool pic! Our room is pretty cool too! Full size fridge, oven, dishes! 3 tv's, 2 rooms with beds, and FREE internet! wow! They take care of their ppl!

Good Bye Fort Bragg....
Tonight is the last night me & the kids will be staying in what has become our home! We arrived here in November of 2007. Just me & the hubby, we had 3 bedrooms! WOW! and nothing to put in them! I remember I was doing cartwheels in the living room!
It seemed as soon as we moved in we got pregnant with our son! We found out Dec 6 that we were expecting! How exciting!!! We get to decorate one of those empty rooms!! Lil man arrived in Aug & hubby had to go back overseas 3 weeks later. Thank God my mom was here to help me! He was a hand-full! She taught me that in order for him to be calm, I must remain calm, finally I mastered the art of "calmness" or patience you may say! The first year of his life was so many new things!!! He learned how to sit up in what is now his sissy's room! He took his first steps right here in the living room and now he runs around playing with his cheap super hero men from Mc D's when he has a ton of toys! Our house went from empty and boring to toys r us in a year! Then May 6 2009 we found out we were expecting another baby! She arrived Dec. 2010 and is now a beautiful bubbly baby girl!
Even though we had many other memories of hanging with friends, cookouts, rock band, scentsy, 31, and baby showers! Those are some of my most fond memories here! I have enjoyed making so many new friends and finding a great church to go to! I hope that all of my friends will continue to keep in touch! I will always be a phone call away!! so here is good bye to Caquiny loop!
This is our first PCS and its really hard! I never thought it would be so hard to move since I moved all my life but I guess having children & having memories here and actually making friends makes things harder! (I usually don't make friends to easy) ha ha.
Like they say, you are married to the Military , not your husband!
On another note, I have created a new blog for my photography! I wanted a fresh look and something to post the newest photos on for the New location! I will be using this blog from now on, so please follow me there! Here is the link ---->Lenay Glover Photography
