the reason behind my blog

There are very few things you will find me bragging about, but, of the few: I am really into planning, and I do a pretty darn good job at it. This is probably directly related to my insane obsession with organizing, because, well, the two come hand in hand! I love to know where things are, what things are, and why they are that way. I forsee this blog being very much about organizing: tips, printables, ideas etc.

If I haven't mentioned it yet, I am a HUGE dreamer. When I say huge..... I mean ridiculously. But, the problem that i'm facing is that my dreams are not THAT unreachable. I can clearly see the goal in my mind... it's lit up like the end of a tunnel that i've been going through for years. I have all of these ideas cooped up in my brain, and I, for the life of me, cannot place them in order quickly enough for me to start planning my dream, or atleast to make it come true. What is my dream, you ask?

I love photography (as does probably every woman on the planet.), but if someone asked me what I would really, honestly, love to do for the rest of my life.. i'd give them this: "I want a house right outside of the city, with tall grass fields, a couple of lemon trees, a pond, and an indoor studio to shoot any and everything I desire, with loads of photography equipment, props, and people knocking on my door, begging for my business." ........ because just the thought of it makes my heart warm.

I took my first step last year, when I purchased my first DLSR, a Nikon D5000. My first baby! The sole purpose of this purchase was to not only help me pursue my dream, but to capture my first year as a mother. (and all the years after, too, of course.) The problem is - I've had no lessons on it. Sure, I know how to snap a quick photo and capture a moment. But as for aperatures, manually focusing, etc..... i'm SOL. I'm sure you will see many posts about my lack of photography knowledge, and probably some practice posts with various images that I consider perfect and you think are amature...but HEY! That's what practice is for, right?
