Candidly Grateful: Life is a Celebration

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make God belly laugh; glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift."
~Shauna Niequist, Cold Tangerines

Every moment in life is a gift and the sad part is so many moments pass by before we even realized we missed them. I don't wanna miss a moment...I want to celebrate them all. When it rains I wanna dance in the street and celebrate, when a friend drops by unnanounced I wanna thank the Lord I have friends, when family dissappoints me I wanna know that The Almighty God doesn't dissappoint! There are so many blessings in life and I want to celebrate everyone of them. My pastor she always tells me "Jaime, just enjoy the journey." In my pursuit of celebrating every moment and enjoying the journey I took some of these shots.

A little of the journey I'm celebrating...

Fall Festival Fun...
