Hip & Simple Creativity
When I was younger and someone would stop by from the neighborhood, depending on who it was, we would hide the coffee pot out of sight. I knew that we did this to avoid any judgement for our choice that was not socially acceptable in the area we lived. I grew up in Utah, predominately a Mormon area, where drinking coffee is not in line with their beliefs. While I have no judgement against anyone in that religion there is bound to be judgement from some members of any large group, who share similar beliefs, against those who don’t live in those same beliefs. I don’t blame my mother for wanting to hide the coffee pot. I understand why we did it and looking back, it makes me realize how we, as humans, naturally want to do things to avoid judgement for our choices.
I had been taking more posed / professional pictures of Reece every month until he turned a year when I decided to do it at least every 6 months. It was time, plus I have been itching to get out and take some pictures lately.
Here we are in day 3 of the trek to Alabama. Yesterday was our longest driving day with over 10 hours on the road. We got into the hotel very late and went straight to bed. We spent the day driving through Colorado and Kansas, ending the evening in Salina, Kansas. We were able to stop in Denver for lunch with my Aunt Maren. It was a great visit and I am so glad the timing worked out.
