Friday Five

Hello, Lovelies

1. Devote followers and friends know that my friend, Cierra, and I started a new channel on Youtube titled Trying Two Adult a couple weeks ago. After starting the channel, I looked into buying a Canon Powershot vlogging camera. I just wanted something other than my phone with decent video recording and was pretty light. With a little bit of searching on Ebay, I found one and bought it for a really good price.

This is it!
I was really excited and anticipating its arrival in the mail. Just five short days later (and over a week ahead of the estimated delivery date), I received my new vlogging camera! I can't wait to make some videos for our channel using it.

2. Changing direction a tad bit, I want to chat about my photography for a minute. This past week I finally started pinning my photos on Pinterest. I had read blog posts from other photographers that gave tips about having a business (incidentally found on pinterest), and one tip was to pin your own photos. This way your followers see them and have another platform for your work to be displayed. It took me a while to start. Now that I have, I realize just how smart it is to do this. You can follow me on Pinterest here. I have over 2,000 pins varying from photography to food to color guard. A little bit of everything.

3. I had quite the busy week. It started with following a new schedule and filming a video. Editing photos took over the rest of the week until Thursday. Thursday I visited my great grandma Rose and went to Big Rapids for a little shopping. My father, brother, and I also visited my sister while in Big Rapids. That was a pretty busy day. Today we headed to Grand Rapids to pick up my brother's new suit. It is really snazzy. Zach looks great in it, and I can't wait to take photos! Just thinking about it makes me smile. I will post photographs on my photography blog within two weeks, so keep your eyes peeled!

While in GR, my dad, brother, and I went to World Market per my request. We found a few fun treats there. We visited a couple more places before headed home including IHOP where we ate lunch (and I talked with someone I knew from color guard in high school). I vote: a good day.

4. With a busy week comes a busy weekend. Tomorrow is the Trufant Jubilee! The Trufant Jubilee, for those who don't know, is pretty much this little town's special day that happens the first weekend of September every year. There is a special breakfast that is really good and NOT expensive at all, a parade in the afternoon, a flea market, and a ton of little booths to buy from. My dad's favorite booth is run by a sweet Amish lady that sells different flavor pies. He always comes home with a Pecan Pie.

I am also watching my niece for the entire day which is going to be... fun. Tiring. Just all around interesting. She can be really fussy and cry a ton when her mom isn't around. So, I'm prepared for that, but at the same time not so much. I'll be a long day for the both of us for sure.

5. After all of that fun happenings tomorrow, I am painting and rearranging my room on Sunday. Why I chose to do this on such a busy weekend? I don't know. It is something I have been wanting to do because I painted it a couple summers ago, and I absolutely hate the color on three of my walls. So much that I didn't even finish with the color.... It reminds me of two things I do not like with a passion: puke and salmon. I am painting it to match the other wall and ceiling a light green which reminds me of springtime all year round. It'll look SO good when it is all finished. A lot of work, but worth it. Maybe I'll post photos after it's all done.

Thanks for reading this week's five. I'll be back with another post on Tuesday. Have a good long weekend!
