I'm Back :)

Dear Blog,
WOW! It has been a LONG time...my life has changed quite a bit in the last few months! But here I am ready to write again! Life has granted me some blog time again so I am ready to go! I honestly still don't know what it is exactly I want to have my blog be about...everyone says that blogs should have "themes"....but life doesn't really have a theme so why should a blog? I am pretty sure that all of my posts have been leaning towards the "random emily" category so I suppose that that is what this blog will keep doing. I always have a lot on my mind. I am not even sure if anyone even reads this anymore. But if you do, I hope you get something out of each post. My writing is not meaningless or pointless. I believe that there is (or should be) purpose behind everything I do and yes that includes this blog.

Its purpose? I don't really know...but that is for you to find out for yourself. :) There is always something to learn or realize from everything and everyone. I am going to really try to keep this blog up a little bit better than I have been. It will be full of random tid bits of course. But that's me for ya!

In about a week and a few days I am going to finally take a trip home and I am so excited!!! Not that I don't love where I am living now, but it is always nice to go back to your roots and reunite yourself with all the fun places and faces! The reason for this beautiful trip is to see my baby sister graduate. EXCITING!!!! But at the same time CRAZY! I still remember the days we played with TY beanie babies (remember those?!) and played indians in the backyard. Now my lil sis is all grown up! Going off to college in the fall! Time surely does fly. I get reminded of that time and time again.

You can never grasp time. You can never hold onto it. It will keep going on without you. I believe that is why I have always been addicted to photos. I have LOADS of them and I love taking them. They are a moment of time that I was able to grasp before it got away and I love that. When I die I will definitely walk up and thank the individual who invented the camera! That person (whoever that may be...and I will research that!) helped me be able to hold onto and remember faces I no longer see, places I had never been to, and moments I cherish close to my heart. I love photos.

I hope that someday I can be able to capture other people's special moments and memories and beloved faces. It is a dream that is a little hard to start here in this state since there are so many photographers. But I think I'll try anyways. :)
