Hello, it's been a while.
Hopefully you're not tired of hearing that! I'm sorry, it's again been a really busy past few weeks. You know what though? I've learned throughout these years that busy doesn't necessarily mean bad. When things get busy I've noticed that it often serves as a time to test my dedication to my family by making time to do housework, taking care of the chinchillas, and making meals etc. It also serves as a test of my dedication to my Heavenly Father, who understands what my own life entails at the moment and trusts me to do my best in serving His children (particularly at the moment my role is in working with the young women of my local church).
So uh, going back to the fact that I'm back on the blog I'd like to share with you some photos of my first Quincenera that I got to attend. The celebration was for one of my beautiful young women from my church. Boy did I feel special to be invited to such a great event in her life. The place was decorated so nicely, and she looked just like a princess, in all honesty! Her tiara and dress were such a accentuation to her beauty. I want to tell you though, that what's more beautiful about her is what's within, there is a beautiful soul within her. She is such a sweet, kind, fun-loving girl! Lucky me to be able to work with her :)
For her celebration for turning 15 I got to see her and many other men and women dance many fun routines. Very quickly it also became time for us to dance. For those who know me, I LOVE dancing. That night I had some nice friends teach me new kinds of dances, many to be used for Hispanic songs. It was so much fun, I wish I could have stayed all night.
Celebrations are a beautiful thing. It honors an individual, for her life lived so far, for her accomplishments, for who she has become and who is she is continuing to become. That night, a few Saturdays ago many people gathered together to to throw a celebration for my young woman, to honor her, to feel so happy for her and to cheer her on to her future. :) I hope when my next celebration comes around (probably my birthday) I can think about what else besides my progression in age is can celebrated about me.
I'm not really an event photographer, and I almost never take pictures in our church cultural halls but I thought I'd like to take a few shots to remember this day. Here are a few of the pictures that I'd like to share with you.
