April Photo Challenge :: My Life

For the first time, I am participating in a photo-a-day challenge. I saw this one titled "My Life" by Paper Coterie. My friend Aubrey posted it. By the way, Aubrey is an amazing photographer in Houston. You should definitely check out her work!  I am working my way through this fun little challenge and posting my photos on instagram (ebase83) and twitter (emilybase). Be sure to follow me there so you can keep up! I am going to do weekly posts recapping the previous weeks photos.

Here are the topics.

 Day One {my home}

We have lived in our house for over two years now. It is a 1950s home and is old, but we love it! We love the charm it has, the beautiful big trees, and our neighborhood.

 Day Two {my handwriting}

This is the beginning of my ever growing, never ending to-do list.

 Day Three {my smile}

I took a picture of a picture of our wedding day. Why not use a picture of my smile when it was the biggest? Great day!

 Day Four {my reflection}

This is my first attempt. I took a picture of me in the mirror that hangs over our fire place.

 Day Four {my reflection}

Then I took Ollie for a walk and as we got home, I realized I had the perfect picture of the two of us in our glass front door.

 Day Five {my favorite shoes}

I picked my running shoes, not because I really think they look great, but because they are my favorite because I like to exercise and be active. Plus I haven't been shopping much lately, so I don't have a new, fave pair of cute ones!

Day Six {my morning}

This is the view from my bed, looking up at the fan. 

 Day Seven {my town}

Dallas, Texas

I took this as I was crossing over 635 and the Dallas Tollway. Don't worry, I was at a light!

Day Eight {my Sunday}

Sunday was a rainy day spent at my parents' house celebrating Easter. This is their backyard and pool.

It is fun following along with these challenges and finding neat pictures to take! I have really enjoyed it! Be on the look out on the blog this week for a couple of shower (baby and a couples) recaps and Easter. I hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend!
