March 31st - The Last One
I thought it would be nice to take a picture of both Sammy and myself for my last Project 365 picture. However, Sammy, the cat who loves to get on the dining room table anytime he can, didn't want to jump up there for me. So I picked him up. I think this photo sums up our relationship quite well.
And just like that, my year-long project is complete. It's hard to believe the project began a year ago with Air Force One and ends with me back in Texas. It's been an exciting journey, and I'm thankful that so many of you have taken it with me.
Some of you may be wondering what I'll do next. Well, I do know that I won't be carrying my camera around with me for at least a week. :) I am planning to post a few more things here, and then I'll let everyone know my plans.
Thanks again!

March 30th - Old Reliable
As Project 365 winds down, I thought it was appropriate to celebrate the camera that allowed me to work on this project in the first place: my trusty Canon Powershot. It may not be as cool as my new Canon Rebel T2i, but it is still the camera I carried around with me for almost 365 days. It's going to feel strange in the coming weeks to not feel that weight in my purse and to know that if the perfect picture opportunity takes place, I'll have nothing but my cell phone camera.

March 27th - Little Lion
This photo was just too funny not to post. I was folding laundry - he decided to do this. He is Sammy, hear him roar!

March 26th - Dolly?
Today I drove out to Warrenton to shop with Mom and her friends. It was a lot of fun to see everyone and look at all of the different booths. One of the

March 25th - Movie Night
After spending the last few weekends away from home, it was nice to stay in tonight, order pizza, and watch The Thorn Birds.

March 24th - Beautiful Day
I think I actually said "Oh my gosh!" out loud when I saw the sunrise this morning. (And this photo definitely does not do this gorgeous sunrise justice. It was even more beautiful once I made it to work, and the sun was fully shining.)

March 20th - Bluebonnets
I've been waiting to take this picture since I moved back to Texas in July. Fall in New England may be magical, but wildflowers, especially bluebonnets, make spring in Texas the best.

March 19th - And they call the thing rodeo
Today Paul and I went to the Houston Rodeo. We had a lot of fun looking at the different farm animals (especially the babies) and exploring the carnival area. After we left there, we went to the Menil Collection to look at the art (some of it was, um, interesting) and walk around the grounds. Later today, we picked Esther up from the airport and went to Dessert Gallery (yum!).

March 18th - Peanuts
This afternoon I drove over to Houston to spend the weekend with Paul. The trip was quite interesting to say the least. Right outside of Bastrop, traffic backed up on 71 because of a fire. I detoured and made it to 290, where I was stopped by a train passing through Giddings. (Luckily, I was able to take this picture of the Lee County peanuts while I was waiting - pretty funny for a girl who does not like peanut butter.) Once I worked my way through Houston traffic, I made it to Paul's apartment after 6. I was so happy to see him and have him make me a wonderful dinner!

March 17th - Hole in the Wall
This is the current view from my desk at work. Our office is expanding into the space next door, and the connection is right next to my desk. I'm the only one in my little corner now. :(

March 16th - A summer haircut, I suppose?
So, remember this pretty cool picture from a couple weeks ago? This morning I noticed that the little palm trees around the office building had all been cut. The result was not nearly as pretty.

March 14th - The Sounds of Youth
In the midst of all our cleaning this weekend, I found some of my childhood CDs. It was quite exciting to listen to a few of them on my drive back to Austin.

March 13th - Sunday at the Farm
Today I spent an afternoon at the farm for the first time in a very long time. We drove out there after church and picked up Chicken Express along the way. After we finished lunch, I took some pictures (and swung on the rope swing!) while Mom and Dad repaired a few of the birdhouses around the cabin. The pictures of the cows was one of my favorites. (You can see the line where the pasture burned earlier this year.)

March 12th - Me & my shadow
It was so nice to spend the whole day at home! We had homemade biscuits this morning, Dad and I worked on taxes this afternoon, we all watched the Texas-Kansas game this evening, and Mom made a wonderful dinner tonight. During one of our breaks from working on taxes, I took a few pictures outside, including this one.

March 11th - Home for the Weekend
I can't remember the last time I've spent a weekend in Henderson just to spend a weekend in Henderson. I drove home after work this afternoon and arrived a little after six. After eating at Francisco's (yum!), the parents and I watched the Longhorns beat the Aggies for the third time this year. It's also been exciting to see all the work that's been done on the house over the last few weeks (no more brown carpet)!

March 9th - Matching Set
I'm happy to announce that I have now transferred all my scrapbooks into matching albums. Don't they look pretty?

March 7th - Hmm
I tried to do a math problem tonight. I think I would have easily been able to figure it out 10 years ago, but I was definitely puzzled this evening.
I guess I'll have to try again tomorrow.

March 6th - Time for Bed, Part II
Why does Sammy always refuse to let me make up my bed? He must think we're playing a game. (He's the bump under the sheets.)

March 3rd - Have a Cupcake
So in my mind, working on a project no one had ever done before (that resulted in five successful days of calling, I might add) deserves a cupcake.
Of course, I think cupcakes are the answer to many of life's difficult tasks anyway.
Get ready to enjoy, Austin team!
