Final Series

So, the last week or so has been incredibly stressful. I may not pull out with a 4.0 this semester.. but i'm over it. This is the most credits i've ever taken.. so i count that as an accomplishment haha. Anyway, here is my final series for photography. It is about people and their ways to cope with the world, get away, think, etc. The final four are the ones i printed to turn in hard copies of.

DAYS 5-13

DAY 5: For two dollar Tuesday, we went to the movies. Movies are a big part of mine and Chase's life. Growing up our families were huge movie lovers. There really is something magical about going to the theater. I can't even begin to say just how many songs alone are about that magic. We saw the movie Warrior, which though the language was a bit rough, the story was absolutely amazing.
DAY 6: We are blessed to have the Knecht's in our ward. It was Hannah's birthday, and they wanted some new pictures as they have been married about 2 1/2 years now. I was happy to do it, especially to build up my portfolio. The weather was awesome, and even a bit warm.
DAY 7: To be honest, Thanksgiving day was so busy and fast that by the time I realized I hadn't taken a photo yet, we were crawling into bed. The feast was over, and we decided to venture out into the Black Friday midnight madness. We got back at about 3:30 am, and this is simply a small detail of the shirt Chase bought for me. Lovely.
DAY 8: After Thanksgiving there was a surprising amount of Christmas lights up already. We took the extra leisure time to take a drive around to take a look. This is one of my favorite activities of the Christmas season.
DAY 9: Many families have the rule that no Christmas paraphernalia may go up until after Thanksgiving. We hold true to that belief. So, after the feasting was over, we decided to put up our humble tree. To some it may seem a "Charlie Brown" tree, standing at 3 feet tall, but to us it is perfect for now.
DAY 10: Over Thanksgiving, we took the liberty of having a Lord of the Rings Marathon with the Kunz's. We watched all three extended versions, and finally finished the last one. It was bittersweet, i must admit.
DAY 11: For Family Home Evening this week we invited over two couples from our ward that we didn't know very well. We had a wonderful lesson, great conversation, delicious snacks, and our favorite game: Ripple. The game stats were surprisingly close, and we played for a lot longer than we should have.
DAY 12: I went out to photograph for class, and little did I know this would end up being the one I printed. It had snowed a bit previously, and unbeknownst to me the ground was quite moist... more moist than i expected. It was just one of those days.
DAY 13: After a long day at school, and straight to "The Drowsy Chaperone", the skies were completely dark, and the traffic lights made beautiful patterns with a bit longer exposure.
