Help The Burrell Family

This is worth a post on my family and my personal blog. Meet Kasey and Natalie Burrell. This cute little family lives next door to my daughter Kaedell. Natalie use to be a Panunzio. She went to school with Em. Kasey is one of the Ogden City Police Officers who was seriously shot while attempting to serve a search warrant with his squad. The following letter was posted on facebook. Hope this helps.



Dear Friends and Family,

I would like to take a moment of your time and tell you about a dear friend of mine and the struggles he is now facing. Most everyone is aware of the tragedy that recently occurred within the Ogden City Police Department. One officer lost his life and 5 others were wounded.

He was shot in the head and the stomach. He was in intensive care for a week and has recently been upgraded to fair condition. His recovery period could last for several months to years.

Kasey and Natalie have 2 small children ages 5 and 2, with a baby girl expected to join their family in June.

I believe it would be very unfortunate if this families financial needs were not met. I want to be able to help them and I'm asking for your help in this effort. We all have been blessed well beyond our means, but I am not asking for anything that would put a burden on your family. I am asking for whatever amount you would feel comfortable with giving to this special family.

It is times like this that not only rally a community together but it blesses us all as we help those who are in desperate need.

Finally A Logo

Ta Ta Ta Da!

Drum Roll Please!

I can't tell you how long I've been working on developing a logo for my photography.

I'm so excited I can't stand it.

Do you like the camera there sitting in my name, 

the lens making the "O" in Crowther? 

You need to appreciate that cause I thought it all up!

Yup, all by my little ole' self.

And it' only took me 8 months.

And I'm a Crow. Gotta have a Crow in there, so I added this cute little guy.

I'm old and not really super fantastic at anything.

But I'm learning and I'm growing (I think???.) And that's what counts.

Next I'll be working on a watermark,

And then ...

My photography blog is getting a remake.

Declarations

Begin

The quote in it's entirety is as follows and there is some real debate as to whether or not it really comes from Goethe. Regardless of who the quote comes from or whether parts of it were borrowed from one author or another, the quote has come together with truth in it's core and that is what draws me to it.

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of thiings occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."

So today I begin.

The iPhone Mom (Because it's not your husbands iphone)

My nickname is MacMama and iLove anything Apple! Yes, iAm a Mac Head!

Years ago, my son, who was born a Mac lover finally talked me into trashing my old PC and switching over to the world of Mac. iRemember the whole experience as if it were yesterday. It was really scary, like standing on a cliff and leaping through the air into the unknown. By the way, we use to do that at Lake Powell until they made it illegal to plumet from any cliff into the water. My ultimate fear of heights kept me from jumping then, and iHad the same fear when iThought about abandoning my PC.

"Mom, just switch to Mac, you won't be sorry," Gav nagged. So finally iDid! iClosed my eyes, made the leap, called the Apple store, and purchased my first PowerBook G4.

iOnly had to open up the box and turn it on and iFell in love. iV'e been a Mac Head ever since. In fact when the new MacBook Pro came out, iSold my PowerBook G4 and bought the Pro.

Since that time Apple has become my world. My family all complains that iSpend more time on my Mac than iDo with them. iThink there are some serious jealousy issues going on!

When the first iPhone came out, my son was first on the waiting list. La tee da dee da!!! iWas second. Ok, so we weren't really first and second, but we jumped all over the new Apple iPhone as soon as we caught a glimpse of it.

iWas a T-mobile subscriber until iHeard about the iPhone. iCouldn't get to the AT&T store fast enough. iRan right over secured a family plan and signed us all up. That's it. The rest is history. We're a Mac family now!

A week or so ago my Mac Head son called me up and proceeded to tout his latest purchase. What planet had iBeen living on? iHadn't even heard about the new iPhone4. iGave my son a roil lecture for not keeping his precious mother informed, and promised him there would be serious repercussions if he didn't tell me how to order one immediately. I'm old, iNeed help with these things.

I'm now waiting for the white iPhone4 to come out in August. It's torture seeing MacGav and Caroline touching and fondling their new iPhones (grrrrr). iWanted one so bad iWas tempted to order the black. Being a practical woman though, and loving white like iDo, I'm waiting for my favorite color to make it's debut. i'M telling you, it's torture being practical!

Check out a new site iFound. "The iPhone Mom," iJust know i'M her kindred spirit, cause i'M definitely an iPhone mom too.

Have fun watching this new promo on the iPhone4 ---I'm warning you though, you're going to want one! Go on take the leap! Buy one today!
