Outfit: Christian County Fair

Being home for the county fair in my home town, Taylorville, Illinois has been a blast. My cousins all came home to Illinois this week and I came home from Chicago to spend the week with them. We have grown into quite unique personalities and I love when we are all together bouncing jokes and old stories off each other and laughing. Being around my cousins is one of my favorite things in the entire world. This is an outfit I photographed before visiting the fair on Friday night with my cousins. I can't wait to see what the future will hold for this family... all I know is that family is the most important thing in the world to me.

Home.... before I left for New York City

Below are some shots I took at my parent's home in Taylorville, Illinois. I am flying back tomorrow for a 6 day visit and I am very nostalgic, already. Seeing these photos that were taken over two months ago makes my heart ache for open air and vast patches of forest and open road that I'll be back home to early tomorrow................. Do you ever feel nostalgic? When?

 Sweet Pea, one of two strays we adopted a couple of winters ago.

 Early August- moving out of my studio in Urbana, Illinois.

 Creating my scrapbook portfolio at home on the dining room table.

 Afternoons spent on my parent's patio....

 Making breakfast alone at home.

 Fresh organic tomatoes from our garden.

 Up the stairs to my room from Jr. High & High School......

One of the many paintings I created..... left behind in Illinois.

As the years pass, change becomes more inevitable and my nostalgia worsens for my childhood and my dreams. Will I ever be satisfied?
