Project 52 -- Week 1

After seeing everyone else doing these photography challenges, I've decided to join. In order to remember 2012, but also to see how things grow during this year. So here's the start of Project 52. I'll take pictures to commemorate each week and make a collage out of them. This is for me to look back on and say, "Oh yeah! I forgot about that!" I'm excited to see the changes that are bound to take place.

Unfortunately my week 1 wasn't so eventful. I was confined to the house for the entire week studying and preparing for the GACE (Georgia Assessment of Certification of Educators). But I managed to get a couple of pictures that might make you laugh...

1. 2. 

3.  4.

1. On the way home from the test yesterday, we saw this itty-bitty car with a not so itty-bitty tree. It made me giggle, probably a little more than necessary because I was delirious from taking a 6 HOUR TEST (Yes, I did just say 6 HOUR TEST). 
2. The week started of pretty cold, so, naturally, I lit a fire to keep warm. Clearly my dog enjoyed it more than I did. 
3. Last Sunday was my birthday, and my AMAZING hubby threw me a surprise party. I had all of my close friends here and it was just fun to sit and talk (and eat of course). 
4. This is what I spent the entire week staring at. My GACE study guide. I had 2 because I was taking 2 tests. Yes, I know I'm insane, but I'm happy to have it over and done with. On top is my KINDLE FIRE that I got for Christmas :) When my brain would get fried from studying too much, I opened it up and read. I finished 2 books this week to go along with my 2 tests. 


Needless to say, this past week was a pretty uneventful first week of 2012 and that is just fine with me. I was able to relax and study which was awesome. Now I just have to overcome this illness. Right now I'm lying on the couch trying to get the energy to get up and change the laundry. Oh well, to the doctor tomorrow...


But here's to 2012 and a new year!
