Help Others with Meaningful Photos

We all come across pictures that we envy, right?

One of the pictures I have always loved is when a human is in a hammock with their fur baby.  For some reason, I just really love those photos!  Another photo I have always admired is the ones where the photo is FROM inside a tent and you can see the beautiful outdoors through the opening of the tent.

Here, let me find an example of both.  Maybe you will feel the same warmth when you see them as well.

See?  Aren't they cool!?

When I went to Lake Mead in February with my friend, Robin, a lady walked up with two cute little dogs.  Then we saw she was trying to put up a hammock.  I helped her by holding the two leashes while she and Robin hooked up the hammock (it wasn't easy by herself to try and hold back the dogs as they tried to run and play while she tried to hang up the hammock, lol).

And then I asked her something that probably meant more to me than her, lol.  I asked her if I could take some pictures for her with her in the hammock with the two dogs.

Her eyes lit up - she was so ecstatic!  She said she never had a picture of them with her in the hammock and it really meant a lot to her.  I took many photos with her camera phone and many different angles - including trying to get the lake in the background.

She was very thankful and happy!  Her little dogs seemed happy as well, haha

So while you may not be able to replicate a photo you love in the way you imagined, maybe you also will get a chance to help others replicate it, tho.

You don't need to be in it for it to be priceless and meaningful.  :)

Nicki Minaj

OMG, I love this woman and her hair and her songs!  lol.  I think she is SO pretty and talented.

Here are the pics of her concert I went to back in August 2012:

3 Doors Down and Daughtery

My blog is for my memories, so I am going to post some pics of the concerts I have been to the last couple of years, so I can reflect on them later.

I must say that Brad Arnold, the lead singer, really, really impressed me of 3 Doors Down.

Most of the singers and concerts I have been to, they are SUPER appreciative we are there - the fans.  They don't take us for granted at all, and thank us for being there.  Even Lil' Wayne starts at the start of every concern that he thanks his fans and God.  EVERY TIME.

However, Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down impressed me even more!

He thanked us after every song, "Thank you, my friends."  He said it so genuinely and so moving, EACH time!  He actually seemed shocked we were there.  It was so cute and SO touching!

He seemed surprised when he would tell the story that he can't believe where they are today (the band, successful).  He just can't believe it.  And he thanked us so emotionally after every song, it deeply affected me to be on the receiving end of his thankfulness.

Here are some pics of the concert:
