♪♫♪Cause when push comes to shove, you taste what you're made of.♫♪♫

I finally got out of the house today.  One of Jordan's coworkers is absolutely awesome and she invited me to hang out with her today.  She's probably the only one that I have actually met, and hang out with down here.  We get a long really well too, which is always a huge plus...well I guess if we didn't get a long we wouldn't hang out huh? That was a dumb statement...sorry.  Other then that today has been a normal day.  Right now Jordan and I are pretty tight on money, but that's only because we have spent almost all of our extra money on plane tickets, and let me tell you, that gets expensive quick.  Were finally figuring out our bills and what's due when and getting into a rhythm, which is nice.  Talking about Jordan, he's the subject of my 365 pictures today.

I am actually very very  excited about today's picture.  I think this is the first time I have actually played with the ISO on such a epic level.  I took this picture with a slower shutter speed then had to take another picture at a faster shutter speed to get the detail in the computer and then I just did my photoshop magic and came out with this.  I am so excited with the results!  I know its not the greatest lowlight picture, but to me this is just awesome!  I love the light outside coming in and the outline it gives Jordan.  I could just keep going! I'm going to keep working on lowlight pictures.  I'm pretty sure there will be more during the 365 project!  

Toodaloo!

♪♫♪She only drinks coffee at midnight When the moment is not right..♫♪♫

I have decided that when I post my 365 project, I'm going to go to Pandora and the first song that plays is going to be my title.  I thought it would be a interesting twist to see what song popped up that day.  Now I just hope that I can remember the song that the lyrics come from, it should be easy, like this one is Meet Virgina from Train...a song that I would play over and over when I was younger.  
Time for today's picture.


Everyday Jordan will randomly look at me and with this crazy baby voice will say "but I want to CUDDLE!" Today I had my camera ready to go and he pulled me in for a hug and then I got a idea to take this, and I really love it. We have the blinders open so the light from outside was coming in and hit my eyes in the best possible way. Did I mention how much I love this, just the way he always holds me, the way that he won't let go.  I really hope that there is more pictures like this to come.  I think this could be really good for me.  I love that a year from now I'm going to be able to look back on this and now exactly what happened on that day...the memories that I will be able to come up with that I thought were locked away.  Well, I am making twice baked potatoes which could possibly be burning. 
Toodaloo!

♪♫♪ You can count on me like one, two, three I'll be there ♫♪♫

I, Nicole Lynne, has finally decided to start a 365 project.  Not only because it will give me something to do everyday, but it will hopefully get me back into blogging.  I really enjoyed it when I was, but with everything that was going on with Jordan and moving it got pushed to the side.  So this is my first picture of my 365 project. 


Yes, I know..this is not a good picture, and an even worse edit..but as the first picture of my 365 project, it completely sums up my day. I got this package from my amazing best friend Colleen, and in included something that was covered in zebra print and this necklace. I love it, and her. I'm not sure why I included my ID..I think its because it reminds me just how far away I am from my family and friends...it kinda sucks..but at the same time I couldn't be happier finally being with my husband. 
 You probably have been wondering where I have been for the last 4-6 months.  Well, when Jordan was a few days away from graduating his MOS training, we found out that we were going to be stationed in Pensacola, Fl.  Two days later I was on a plane with two bags and some butterflies.  Not going to lie, I was so nervous.  It wasn't only because I was finally going to be with my husband, in our own house, with our own bills, but we were on the other side of the country, away from everything and everyone that I know.  We spent a week in a hotel on base, and thanks to the other Marines, we found a apartment and with the stuff that we had we moved in.  It's been a crazy blur ever since.  I love my life here and everything that has happened, but there's a lot of things going on back at home.  Plus, without a job here, my social life is a little lacking.  I mean I am getting to know some of the people that Jordan works with, but I don't get out of the house unless Jordan and I are going somewhere.  It feels so weird being the one sitting at home, I've always had a job, always was making some kind of money, but now I have none, zip, notta.  Jordan makes all the money, I like it, but I don't love it, if that makes any sense? I do, however, have a couple photography jobs lined up here which I can't be more excited about.  Jordan and I are both hoping that I can do really good with my photography here.  There is such an amazing array of different locations to do shoots around here.  So this is what it's like in my life right now.  I sit at home, wait for Jordan to get home, and we hang until bedtime and do it all over again.  I guess that's what I'm really hoping to get out of the 365 project, a new look on my life here.  Jordan's movie is about to end (he's watching Kick-Ass...a movie I am really not fond of, but that's ok...I knew it was one that he would enjoy) so, I believe it's time to leave you all now.  Have a good night!
Toodaloo!
