I heard this quote a few weeks ago and it really stuck with me. I think that most things that have been fulfilling in my life have been things that are insignificant alone, but contribute to a bigger part of something. It humbles me by making me see that I cannot do things alone. Many times when I feel I have accomplished something great or done something amazing and "significant" I am most likely looking from a very egotistical viewpoint and in the long run it's very unfulfulling.
Here are the pictures from my 365 day challenge. It's been over a month and I'm still having a lot of fun with it.
37/365 These were cupcakes at a friends bridal shower. It's funny how much I needed a night out like this without even realizing it. It also sometimes surprising who is there for you when you need it most.
38/365 Train tracks. I love rainy days. Minus lightening.
39/365 My lovely niece. This is the only time that having only two teeth is the most adorable thing I've ever seen...along with the slobber. ;)
40/365 This little girl is probably the happiest baby I've ever met. I was with her for only a couple of hours...but she smiled for most of that time.
41/365 Super moon light. I was sleeping outside this night next to the river. It took so long to wake up because it was so bright. I didn't mind a bit.
42/365 This picture is nothing special. One of the clients that came on the river trip pointed it out. He stared at it for the longest time. I thought it was awesome that he saw this little beach flower so special.
43/365 This was the second night on the river. As you can see the moon didn't settle down at all. The stars weren't too bad either.
44/365 One of the bonfires we had on the river trip. One of my favorite parts of the trip. Roasting marshmallows and telling cheesy jokes. It was good to see some clients laugh that I haven't seen even smile in a while.
45/365 From one of my favorite stores in Moab. So much pottery and wooden crafts. I don't think I blinked the whole time I was in there.
46/365 I'll have the fish on tap. So...we ate at Ray's Tavern. The burgers were awesome. I just thought this added some personality to the tavern. ;) haha
47/365 Two of my very favorite little people.
48/365 My sister pointed this out to me...and she was exactly right. I loved it. For some reason my very favorite part is the legs and how she only has one foot. It made me smile.
49/365 I recently discovered that I really like taking pictures of old cars. Not sure I have a reason...but I do. "When rich people own old cars they're considered collectors items. When poor own old cars they're considered junk." -My sister.
50/365 This is a creeper shot. One my sister Melissa might like. ;)ha.
51/365 Mmmm. Best looking flag I've ever seen. Thanks Melis.
52/365 I kept telling myself I wasn't going to pull over and take any pictures. I failed. This was the result. Not bad Great Salt Lake.
53/365 So this one is typical...but I like that it showed where I had come from along with where I was at the moment.
54/365 Heber Creeper. Fun train. Fun night. Fun friends. Fun conversations. Nothing more needed.
55/365 Another shot of the train. Colorful.
That's all I got for now. I'm hoping the rest of this summer I can see some pretty cool stuff. I leave for D.C. in less than a month, and have a few more travels ahead. I can't wait. I feel I need some change and vacations always give me a great perspective and my mind seems to clear. I'm hoping to make some good decisions.

Yay for coming to D.C. I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!") Oh how I miss you Chels, and I loved your message on my phone and on my blog. Sorry I haven't called you back yet, we are almost out of minutes, and we still have about 10 more days left to go, so I have to be careful if you know what I mean! I was going to call last night after nine, but by the time we got out of the hospital, I was exhausted and wanted to call when I could give you more personality!;) hahaha Anyway, you do need to get skype that would really work great for us!
I loved all of your pics on your blog you are such a great photographer! Maybe you can take some cute pics of me and baby spence and you and anna and levi too! When you come, although I'm not sure how you are going to take the pics with you in them.... oh wait, we did it all the time on the mish. It's because of your long arms! I remember how you could get like eight people in the pic including yourself! It was phenomenal! hahaha Anyway, I love you and thank you so much for being such a great friend to me! I really am looking forward to having time with you when you come!
I don't think you need to try not to pull over and take pictures. Why fight it? Yay for pictures! (Especially when hiking, the more stops to take pictures, the better!).
