Highschool Outfit

I still have these items in my closet. I decided to clean out my closet because it is very full. I knew I had clothes from my more skinny pre-married days, my skinny pre-Katherine days, my maternity days, my post-partum days and now. There were easily 5 wardrobes. Some overlap but there are a lot of things in that closet that I don’t (or can’t) wear. It has been very frustrating as the seasons change because I can never find anything to wear even though there is a closet full of clothes. I have barely begun, cleaning out the pants, shorts and skirts on the lower left. What I found was embarassing. In that section I found one outfit that was from High School! I remember that I bought this outfit when I worked for a local store using my discount. At least it still fit! That made me feel pretty good. I also found a skirt from college. I even have a picture of me wearing it to a sorority date party. There is no telling what other kinds of out of date clothing I will find when I get a chance to finish the project.

Katherine’s first truck experience

I got a new DSLR camera in September for my birthday. It is really nice and can take great pictures. It could do so many things but I did not know how to do them. I compared it’s ability and it’s usage to if you had a Ferrari but only drove it up and down your driveway. I know that to get the intended use out of the camera I really needed to take some classes. So, I am taking a class at Richland Community College. It has really helped me to learn how to take better pictures. I know I still have a lot more to learn but I am improving.

 This week we learned about light. We had an assignment to take several specific pictures.  So, as usual I loaded up the family and made an afternoon event out of my photo shoot. We went to White Rock and took Sam’s truck (don’t worry Katherine rode in the other car with me). We took the dog and had a picnic.

Here are my photos.
