The holidays came and went without much fanfare. Christmas was Christmas. All I'm going to say about our day was that Dirk and I promised each other that next year we will be on a beach somewhere, just the two of us (with maybe a couple furry companions), no gifts, just each others' company. We decided that's all we really need, anyway.
My favorite gift was a toy from Santa. I got an iPod nano, so I can clip it on and take it on my runs. It has the Nike+ app built in, so it keeps track of my distance, time, calories burned, etc. I've been very dedicated with my workouts, and I've been doing better than I had even dreamt of when I first started running. I ran almost 8 miles this weekend! Dirk and I gave each other a new tempurpedic king-size bed and furniture, which we love. I can't wait to go to bed every night! God Bless Ikea!
The highlight of my week was definitely completing my 365 project and going back through all the images and picking my favorites from each month out.
In case you missed it, I posted my favorite 11 photos from every month on my facebook fan page: Young South Photography.
It took me awhile to figure out how I was going to photographically commemorate Day 365/365, and I was worried that I'd kind of just fizzle out with the way the past few months have gone. I finally decided to take photos throughout the day and put them together into one massive collage of everything I did on the last day of the year. It was fun, the day and the challenge.

So guess what happened yesterday? I started missing my photo challenge. Weird, right? Melody and I have already decided to choose a weekly theme and take and edit and share at least one photo per week pertaining to the theme, but I think I may keep up my photo a day using my phone, snapseed, and Instagram (I'm libbalu2 if you want to follow me.) I honestly just don't know what to do with myself now that I don't have this project, especially since I've completed all my crafts that I was working on for the holidays.
So here's yesterday's contribution, showcasing the awesome homemade project frames that Brooke made for my Christmas present.
