| Samantha Canyon Lake Park 2009 |
I've always loved this photo of Sami, I took it the first day I got my new camera (I think, I might have used my old camera.) We went to Canyon Lake Park which is a place that is really special to us. Its one of the places we would go to just to walk around and play with Sami. It was the place Nate and I married. Sami and I celebrated Mother's Day there and she and I would go there to burn off energy during the deployment. There is also an off-leash dog park, not far from it where I've taken Zayta a few times.
This is the place that represents Rapid City to us. It's one of the few places that we've really made "ours". That doesn't have a lot of memories from the past associated with it anymore and a place where I feel at ease. The photo definitely represents Sami. The roughness of the rock represents her rough and tumble spirit. She is tough and she is my rock. She has been the constant, immovable force in my life for the past 5 years since her conception that has kept me anchored in a safe harbor when things around me have been a rough storm. The colors and sky represent her stormy and tempestuous personality. She's definitely my wild child
5. Pass the award on to 5 other inspirational people.
an amazing blog about a woman and her family's daily dealings with mental health. If you, or anyone you've loved or even if you just want to learn about mental health, read her blog. She has a lot of resources for you to help you learn to get the the help you or someone you might know might need. She's also German and that makes me smile.

Book reviews from an amazingly witty, slightly sarcastic and always honest librarian as well as her journey to become a librarian in a time when sadly, libraries across the country are facing budget cuts. And sometimes she mentions her adorable kitty. Named Hermione.
