A few weeks ago I was working on compiling “favorites of 2008″ for our blog contest we were having. As I was going through our year of photos, I realized all the personal photos that we had sitting there, and started reminiscing on all the memories we were able to capture. I decided I should do something with them because having them sit around on our hard drive is not very fun. So I began working on a new slide-show. I think when I started off I had around 350 photos, and it was about 10 minutes long! So I narrowed it down to around 210 pictures. I debated on whether or not to post it on my blog, because frankly, I don’t know if people would really care to see these….they are just our memories from the year. But, I figured there are so many of you that have followed our lives on here, so to you faithful blog readers, family and friends, I decided to share this little labor of love. Trying to find a song for the right amount of time was very difficult as well. I wanted it to have the right vibe for our family, and fit exactly to the amount of photos. I won’t tell you how long I spent on that one.
I have to make a little disclaimer on here….
***Some of these photos are STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CAMERA and are not edited. You heard me right. Some are taken with our point and shoot as well. (All you photographers out there gasping, I apologize.)***
