I've been playing with switching to WordPress to Blog for a little while. I've finally figured it out this week and it's official that I will be posting all future blogs there!

So, switch your RSS feeds to liarenee.wordpress.com!

Thanks! Come visit me soon!

New, New, New!

Just a few new pictures!

to my friend

My dear friend, Tim, is blogging again and it's inspiring. Since it's been a long time since I've heard about his life and, in the meantime, my life is changing drastically, I thought I'd write my current catch-up-post in honor of him.

Dear Tim,

Well, I'm graduating in May. Technically I receive my diploma in August, but I'm walking in May. Phil sent me a job posting for a civilian job with the Air Force! I applied and had an interview... then I had to go online to pick where I was willing to work. Of all the places my boyfriend, James, and I have talked about living (including Australia and Africa) we've pretty much settled on Colorado (my home) and California (his home) for now. So those are the two for which I applied. James has been looking for work there also and has a great opportunity in Irvine.

After reading your blogs, I thought, "I wonder just how far I'd be from Tim and his church?" So I looked up your city on Facebook and checked the distance from Irvine. About an hour... but wait... El Segundo is just across a highway from Hawthorne. Which is where the Air Force base is! So I just wanted to let you know that we might be neighbors!

So... while I'm here, I may as well ask, does your church need a worship leader? Because I know this really amazing guy looking for a church.

Anyway, I hope things are going amazing in your life! I'd love to find out how things have changed in your life in the last year! I still really hope to get to visit you sometime soon, get to introduce you and James while I get to know Tara better!

Have a Happy Easter!

Another fun photoshop creation. :D

Matthew 18:3-4

I’m telling you once and for all, unless you return to square one and start over like children, you’re not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in.

Starting over at square one in my relationship with God has always been so frustrating to me. I get so far and then slip and lose everything. But, according to this verse, it’s a blessing in disguise.

I can't believe it's Christmas

I bought a website. You should go check out my newest idea for getting practice in taking pictures.

So much is happening and changing in life right now and I just hope I'm taking it in the right direction... because with as much fun as I'm having, it seems like this just can't be a good thing...

Did I tell you I bought Photoshop? I love my photographing life.

(I know... I know... you're saying, Christmas? But YOU bought this stuff! It just feels like Christmas...that's all.)

Update: I decided that I'm sticking to blogger for a little bit longer... I want some more changes soon, but for now this has the best options.

Prête ou pas!

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.

Getting ready to graduate with my undergrad, the rest of my life seems more challenging than I ever excepted it to be. I really hope I’m up for the challenge.

As the title says: Ready or Not!

Get ready world, here I come!

If you guessed that I’m the duck burying my head in the icy water, you’re probably right. At least I’m not the one with my beak iced shut... poor ducks.

Shipped!

It's on it's way and I could pee my pants! Well, actually I'm a little parched right now... sorry, back to the excitement!

I am the proud new owner of a.... drumroll please...



Yes! It's true! It's finally mine! (As soon as it comes to my doorstep anyway.)

-If you can't tell from the tiny picture that is a Canon EOS Rebel XTi-

It's not by any means my final camera and it will still need extra lenses and a lot more memory, but I'm SO excited to finally have a starting place!
