project three sixty five


Day 204:  My go-to breakfast lately: yogurt, oatmeal, grape nuts and whatever fruit I have on hand.  Yummy and good for me. 

Day 205:  New diet plan we're starting to try to hopefully make my stomach/ intestinal pain lessen. 

Day 206:  I took Micah's baby book to get the pages copied so we could give him his actual book. 

Day 207:  Our service group had a special turkey lunch after service.  Nice to get together with everyone. 

Day 208:  Special visit with my new nephew Emerson

Day 209:  My new mug from the dollar store and spearmint tea.  Its making me forget how much I miss drinking coffee; well, its trying. 

Day 210:  We both got paid today and cashed our checks at the store where I work.

Project Three Sixty Five

Its been a few weeks since I shared my Project 365 pictures, but we have been taking them.  I can't believe we've been keeping up with this project for 6 whole months now.  I am so proud of us!! 

I won't share all the weeks that didn't get posted, but the last couple would be fun to share. :) 

This week was full of: new candles from overnight guests we had, free 6" sub from Subway cuz I had enough points, Chris got his eyes checked and picked out glasses, then he strained his eyes some more playing Assassin's Creed, my cousin Hannah's new business card at her new salon, magnet poetry for our fridge, and 28 degree weather but still no snow. 


This week was full of:  before and afters of new hair, eating lots of grapes, chocolate gifts from Chris' customers, my camera collection unpacked, fresh baked banana bread, reading Jasmine* 's Exposed magazine, and Chris' glasses came in (he looks so handsome, and he can see now!!) 


This week was full of:  trying to catch the stupid mouse, my favorite place to get coffee (and what turned out to be my last cup of coffee ever), brand new babies, the longest Chris' facial hair has ever been, rodeo bulls back in town on "winter vacation", the offer for the month and walking around the block in the cold crisp day. 

My favorite day:  becoming Auntie Shai for sure!!

Project Three-Sixty-Five


Day 120: A book Chris and I are reading (taking turns reading to each other).  We bought it on our trip to the East Coast and just started it. 

Day 121: We went to Applebee's for dinner and were asked to fill out surveys about our meal and received a gift card each.  

Day 122: Our favorite brand of olive oil and vinegar. 

Day 123: The leaves are turning!!!  

Day 124: Hannah and I at my family photo shoot.  She's such a great assistant! 

Day 125: Its always nice to come home after a long day of service. 

Day 126: Editing and posting pictures.

Project Three Hundred Sixty Five

I feel strangely far removed from last week...it was weird putting this week's photo cluster together and comparing it to last week's.  It felt like such a long time ago.  I feel like so much has happened.  

But fall has arrived, and I am so happy for that.  

What was your week like?

I have started work on the book that is the ultimate plan for this project.  Shutterfly has crashed on me a couple times, but its coming together.  I think its going to be such a lovely keepsake for Chris and I....our 5th year of marriage in pictures.

Project Three Hundred Sixty Five

I have uploaded, edited and put together this month's 365 pictures and thought I would play catch up and share them all today so I'll be back on track. :)  There are lots of images of people this month so far.  We've done a lot of visiting and I've had a few photo shoots and lots of editing hours.  So this will also be a little sneak of that too.  Enjoy! 





And as always, if you're looking for a more detailed description of each image you can view the Facebook album HERE.  Its been a full month so far!  :)

Project Three Hundred and Sixty Five

Wow, this week went by so fast!!  I didn't even get a chance to blog anything else this week, but we did remember to take a picture every day.  :D There are some fun ones this week.  Take a peek at the complete album on facebook for a description of each day HERE.


Thanks for stopping by!  Say hi if you have a minute. I'd love to hear what your week was full of. :)

Project Three Hundred and Sixty Five

Here is another group of "day in the life of Chris and Shaina" pictures.


This was a rough week at work and with Chris being so sick, but I had a lovely visit with my mum.  I feel like time is just spinning so fast lately.  The end of August is fast approaching and then the summer will be over.  Although the weather has only now decided it wants to be summer... 104 degree heat!  CRAZY!  I'm looking forward to fall, I really am.  Hopefully time will slow down just a little and we'll be able to enjoy it. :)

Project Three Hundred and Sixty Five

I have two weeks of pictures to share today.  I love the little glimpse into our trip that these pictures give.  Little memories captured and treasured.  I am so loving how this project is coming along...



Thanks for taking a peek.
I have decided that for the next month I'm going to try and not take pictures of food! LOL.  We're two months in and there are sooo many pictures of food.

I have found a couple of  "30-days of photography" lists on Pintrest that I'm hoping we can get some new ideas from for our project.  Now that we're back from vacation our days feel all the same again.  :P

Project Three Hundred and Sixty Five


Its been a glorious week full of hot summer days, good food, new friends (one named Ichabod), pretty flowers and great deals!!  (See on my receipt:  I saved $72.50!  dude).

We are leaving this evening for our vacation!!  First we'll be flying to Halifax Nova Scotia in Canada for my friend Katie's wedding.  I'm taking the pictures on her special day and I'm so looking forward to it.  After the wedding then we're heading down to the Boston area for the next week.  Husband is from there, so he's going to show me around and introduce me to all his friends.

While we're gone I've got some pretty posts planned with pictures from my mother-in-law's garden and a quote for each day.  It will be a fun way to pass the time.  And then when we get back I'm sure to have lots of pictures and stories to share.

Be back soon!

Project Three Hundred and Sixty Five

Here is this last week in pictures.


I thought I'd do something a little different with today's post and do a day-by-day explanation of what each pictures is from this week, just to mix it up a bit.

Day 29:  This is my make-up bag.  Its a little dirty, I admit.  But it is very clear that I am a fan of Avon.Mark products.  My favorite is the On The Dot eye color compact.  Shimmery, long-lasting color in a variety of "Shaina-approved" shades. ;) And their foundation is lovely.

Day 30:  We have been waiting for the new Fair To Midland album to come out.  Chris got tipped at work for picking up extras so he went to Hastings after work and picked it up.  We listened to it all the way through 3 times the day we got it.  We like to call the music style: folk metal.  Its hard musically, but lyrically its so whimsical and full of great storytelling.  LOVE IT!

Day 31:  Chris and I started to paint my office.  I have been planning the concept for my office space for awhile (see this post from a year ago!).  I got the shower curtain and its been cut and turned into curtain panels, and I color matched them to buy this paint.  2 walls are this purple color, and the other two we're doing grey...hopefully stripes!

Day 32:  The finished blog design I created.  See full details HERE.

Day 33:  Sunday after the meeting we went in service with the Russian group in our congregation.  They were working on their convention invitation campaign and taught us a presentation in Russian.  This was Chris' first door doing his Russian presentation.  We had fun!

Day 34:  I woke up at 6am to a thunder and lightning storm that turned into a downpour by the time I got to work that day.  It was hard to get a good picture from work, but there was sooo much rain!

Day 35:  This is the set-up at our Kingdom Hall where I do ASL interpreting.  We have our TV, DVD player and hats!!  :)

Project Three Hundred and Sixty Five

This is week 4 of our 5th year of marriage in pictures.

I am loving this project...even if only for the perspective.  For example:  the beginnings of the house next to us in the first picture.  The house only needs a roof and basic construction is finished.  The street we live on looks so different now then it did when we first moved in.  Its interesting to look back on pictures and think of how some things change, and how others stay the same.

We bought some amazing olive oil for when my parents came to visit over the weekend and ever since we've been dipping bread in the oil and some vinegar for a snack.  Yummy!  It was so nice to have my parents here for dinner and a visit.  I wish we lived closer to them and could see them more often.

This week was also my best friend Kelly's 5 year anniversary, so the second picture was from when we were buying them an anniversary card.  I can't believe how fast the time goes by....  Seems like just yesterday I was sitting beside her on her wedding day.

Aside from still feeling sick a little bit, it was a good week.  The sun has been out and its been feeling like summer.  Enjoying sandals, painted toe-nails and the sun up till almost 9.  :)

Project Three Hundred and Sixty Five

Here are days 15-21 in pictures.

Included in this week was our 2011 District Convention which focused on the theme "Let God's Kingdom Come."  It was a long weekend with lots of driving back and forth, but the encouragement was just invigorating.  Chris and I have enjoyed talking about what we learned and how we're going to implement things into our life.  I thoroughly enjoyed the dramas...Saturday was my favorite.

Once we got home, though, we both got super sick.  Like either in bed or by the toilet sick.  Its been a long time since I was that sick, and I missed service and work.  But in the meantime I have another blog design job in the works which is keeping me busy.

So that's been my last week.  And we've managed to take a picture every day.  :)

Project Three Hundred and Sixty Five

Things that make me smile right now:

  • So You Think You Can Dance 
  • planning for the convention this weekend
  • catching up on news at the "salon" with Hannah and Lyndsey 
  • sunflower seeds
  • conversations in service
How was your week??

Project 365: Day 1-7

Starting the day of our anniversary Chris and I embarked on a project 365:  a picture for every day of our 5th year of marriage.  I think these images and the book we create in the end will be a treasure.  A day by day account of this year together.  I'm super excited about it, and we've been having fun so far working together on it.  Here is our first week of images...



And here is a link to our Facebook album: http://goo.gl/dBpjD
On each day we've written a little explanation about each picture, so pop in there for more details. :)
Im excited to keep sharing the pictures that result from this project.  Hopefully every wednesday...that's my plan.

P.S. Can you believe its almost JULY!??
