Comic Fun

While I was student teaching you may remember me telling you about my students making Cold War Comics. Well, my mentor teacher gave me the application so I could play around with it and figure it out for any questions the students may have. I made the comic below a while ago but was just reminded of it and decided to share. I will probably make more in the near future. Sorry for all the family inside jokes that you may not understand! :)

Lately

I have the most boring life. I have been working too much and when I don't work I'm either too tired to do anything, or I don't do anything exciting enough to document. Mentor has a serious deer problem, and our yard is no exception. We have anywhere between 2-16 deer in our yard at least once a day. My parents have even seen a buck with antlers! I, unfortunately, have not seen one yet!

The other day I got off subbing and saw some deer. I was hoping to see a buck because the day before my parents had seen it. I didn't, but I figured I could use the practice getting some pictures and sit outside with my dog who loves watching the deer. She is so cute because they are like the only animals she won't bark at. She'll just walk really slowly and quietly and sit down and just stare at them. A few times the deer have stomped their hooves at her to see how she would react and she just sits and watches. I took some pictures of her watching them as well.

Thanksgiving

As I get older I realize how good I had it when I was younger. Thanksgiving at my grandma and grandpa Albert's was always the best. My grandma made the best food (especially her cole slaw)! If I could go back for a day I would because it was that "typical" Thanksgiving that I hope to show my kids one day. The past few Thanksgivings I was stuck in Cincinnati, so this was my first Thanksgiving at home in three years!

It was nice to be surrounded by family, but I did miss having a huge family around. Even for my immediate family it was just me and my mom. Nonetheless it was still fun hanging out with my cousins and eating delicious food. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving as well!

**Sorry for the terrible quality of some of my pictures. Like I said I'm still learning how to do indoor shots with my camera!

Dear Photograph

I apologize for the absence. I haven't really done anything except work and then my computer broke so I haven't been able to put together a good post. I'm currently on my mom's laptop and it is a huge pain. (Thank goodness for smart phones). I'm hoping it is just the power cord because if it's something more I'm in trouble.

Recently I've been feeling very down. I decided to look through old photos and that was a great decision. The nostalgia put me in such a great mood and reminded me how much I love my family and how important they really are. This is going to sound cliche, but people will come and go but your family will always remain.

I have always wanted to do a Dear Photograph post with pictures from my childhood and so I thought it would be a good post that wouldn't require my own computer. Let me tell you that doing this was a LOT harder than it looks. I also apologize for my phone in the reflection.
