Photo Challenge V.2

Hello, hello!!
Remember these photos I posted a couple weeks back?
Well, now I am going to finish up the last few photos I had from January's Photo a Day Challenge.
Yippy! :)
I definitely enjoy taking random photos, but it was a challenge to get one for every single day this month.
Plus, I was a day or two late on some of them so I would wind up posting like three in one day! ha.
It was so much fun, though!
February has already arrived, and a new challenge is already going on.
My goal is to post one every day, on time, without missing a day! *fingers crossed*
I look forward to sharing them all with you soon!
For now, please enjoy the last few from January! :)
(ps. I'm certain I am even more in love with instagram. yikes!!)

This second half starts with Day 16 and goes through Day 31.

 Day 16. Morning.

 Sandwich, blogging, and coffee. :)

(coffee NOT pictured, but you better believe that I had some, folks!)

Day 17. Water.

My LIFE!!

 Day 18. Something you bought.

ANOTHER book! :D 

Day 19. Sweet.

Jiminy Cricket just hangs out in my room. ;)

 Day 20. Someone you love.

One of my best friends, Kim! 

I honestly don't know what I would do w/o her!

(can't wait to see you, kimmie - love you!)

 Day 21. Reflection.

Nathan left me a sweet note on my car one day.

I spent the weekend looking over it while he was at drill.

I'm blessed. :)

 Day 22. Shoes.

Nathan's ARMY boots.

Day 23. Something old.

Antique shopping!!

 Day 24. Guilty Pleasure. 

This was suppose to be a photo of the cast of 'Jersey Shore'.

I decided to spare you all. ;)

I went with the new cheesy bread from Domino's instead. 

 Day 25. Something I made. 

PB&J. *delicious*

 Day 26. Color.

My favorite turquoise scarf & yummy coffee!

Day 27. Lunch.

I ate my lunch before I could take a photo of it.

So, I snapped one of my pecan coffee that I ate afterwards. ;)

 Day 28. Light.

.:[let it shine, no matter how small]:.

Day 29. Inside my fridge.

Technically, this is Nathan & Ben's fridge. 

Sad, huh?! ;)

 Day 30. Nature.

The view from Nathan's porch.

Day 31.

 Me, again.

I had a blast doing this challenge!

I am sure February will be just as fun.  

If this something you would like to do, then please start this month. :)

You can do it on instagram, your blog, facebook, twitter, tumblr ... anything, really! 

I would love to follow along with all your lovely photos. 

Happy Groundhog Day!!

(The weather has been fickle this year, so who knows what will happen.)

much love, colie. 

I'm alive, I'm alive!

dinner date.

Goodness, me.
I have felt like I have be absent from the blogging world a lot this past week.
This probably has to do with the fact that I have. :/
I completely missed my 'Tuesdays with Colie' post this past Tuesday.
So, it looks like this coming Tuesday you'll get a double post. :)
Which will be fun, but more typing for me. ;)
(& I don't even want to talk about how I have neglected my tumblr. poor thing.)


Anyhoo, I just wanted to update you all on what has been happening lately.

1. I have had the craziest work schedule. This is legit, considering I had two days off and then had an eight day work schedule afterwards.  :/ (I still have 3 more days after today) I'm obviously looking forward for next Wed/Thurs so that I can sleep in and relax a bit.

2. I got sick ... AGAIN!! geez. You know the saying, "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired?" -- UMM... yea, well I am completely on board with that. I mean, I couldn't even drink coffee, folks!! & I LOVE coffee. :( **side note: coffee is the numbero UNO worst thing to drink with a sore throat. sad day, indeed. -- wonderful news, though. i finally got to drink a cup yesterday morning!! it was glorious. ;)


3. Nathan & I became official about 2 weeks ago, and he has been the biggest blessing in my life. :) & in between work and being sick ... I had some time to squeeze him into my crazy schedule. Which was nice, but meant we were both exhausted. I don't like that our work schedules are completely opposite of the other. :/ BUT! we do have next weekend off so that is going to be wonderful.
(ps. there will be photos of us together SOON!! ... I promise! :)


4. I am getting excited for one of my best friends, Jordan, having a birthday this coming Sunday! :) She will be the big 2-5! Which means she is closer to the big 3-0 than me. ;) **only by 3 months, though. ha.


I hope you have all been doing well!
I am looking forward to sharing more on this blog in the upcoming months. :)

I wanted to leave you with a photo from a recent trip that Nathan & I took while antique shopping. It was at a local shop, which was so sweet and got me quite giddy and excited. (the little things makes me happy. thrifting and antiquing are two of them!) Anyhoo, I came across this birthday card and couldn't help snapping a photo of it. I laughed so hard!! -- Now, I wish I had bought it for Jordan. ;)

Enjoy the weekend.

Stay warm.

much love, colie!
