I am thankful for my employer. Not only am I grateful to have a job, but I’m lucky to work for such a great organization. The American Cancer Society is dedicated to saving lives – what could be better than that?

My name is Lindy, I'm in my 20s, and I have a passion for creativity! I love photography, graphic design, travel, cycling, and trying new things. I have a list of "30 goals before I'm 30," which include trying things like rock climbing, going on a mission trip, visiting Italy, and learning to sew. So far I've completed 15 of the 30 goals with 3 years to go!
Day 326: Seven Days of Thankfulness (Day 2)
I am so grateful for my little immediate family: my husband and my cat. My cat Esme is sweet, loving, and playful. My husband Jerod is sweet, loving, and playful too … and so much more. He forgives me every time I mess up, and he loves me even when I may not deserve it. I’m a lucky lady.
Day 325: Seven Days of Thankfulness (Day 1)
Day 1: I am thankful for my parents. Yesterday they returned from a three-week China tour. Aside from two very brief conversations, I had no contact with them, which that was more difficult than I expected. It made me realize how grateful I am for their honesty, advice, help, and unconditional love. I’m so lucky to have two great parents, and I’m very grateful they made it home safely.
Day 324: Insomnia
We really like our new place. The only downfall: raccoons in our attic. All the scratching, running, jumping, chewing, wrestling, and chattering keeps me up at night. On Sunday maintenance caught this guy in a live trap in our attic. (Can you keep a secret? I was in tears when I heard him trying desperately to get out of the trap for hours on end.) Poor guy … I wish they’d just fix the roof so we don’t have this problem all winter.
P.S. Since this is Thanksgiving week, I’m going to post 7 Day of Thankfulness, beginning with Monday’s photo tomorrow.
Day 323: Fall Family Portraits
I had a great time shooting family portraits Saturday morning. The family joked around, laughed constantly, and willingly tried some of my goofy portrait ideas. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did!
Day 322: It’s the Season of Food
Yesterday we had a big Thanksgiving lunch at work. Dessert is sometimes the best (and prettiest) part of the meal. One meal down, three to go. I’d better break out the stretchy pants.
Days 320-321: A Wintery Mix
Here are my photos from yesterday and today; they both remind me of cold temps – both inside and out.
Day 319: Squirrely Squirrel
For some odd reason, I’ve been wanting to capture a photo of a squirrel for months. I’m not sure why; maybe it’s just the thrill of photographing something that’s so fast and sneaky. On a walk yesterday, I finally caught my break!
Day 318: Salute!
Thanks to the Night of Hope silent auction, we came home with three wine bottles and two wine glasses to complete our wine rack. You would think we were wine connoisseurs. We definitely are not, but we can appreciate a good glass of vino every once in a while. Salute!
Days 316-317: Night of Hope, Day of Renewal
This weekend finally arrived … and passed too quickly. I was so looking forward to the Night of Hope – a Pancreatic Cancer Action Network gala – 1) because it was our first time attending a gala, and 2) the cause is close to my heart. My aunt passed away from pancreatic cancer last July, just 8 months after being diagnosed. Since then I’ve met so many people who have been affected by this horrible disease. It was a roller coaster of emotions; it was fun to dress up and get a fancy hotel room, but it was also incredibly touching to witness the Vigil for Hope, where everyone lit purple lights in memory of their loved ones.
