<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think blogs are still a "thing"? I'm just gonna dust off this old thing here.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got out of the habit of writing when we moved to the Bay Area. I had tons of free time but put my blog on the back burner. It was a hard move for me so I just didn't write. I still miss Provo at times but life is good, really good. A lot has happened in 2 years for this Barlow crew!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A short recap is: </div>
<div>
>>> we moved to the East Bay of Northern California</div>
<div>
>>> Mr. Barlow temped at Google[x] working on the Google Glass Project</div>
<div>
>>> Mr. Barlow commuted 3-4 hours a day to work</div>
<div>
>>> I started nannying and teaching Seminary, doing Faith in God for the Activity Day Girls and taught youth Sunday School</div>
<div>
>>> we got pregnant, found out our addition was a little boy, long live the Barlow name!</div>
<div>
>>> we moved to a house in Oakland, right down the hill from the Oakland LDS Temple</div>
<div>
>>> Mr. Barlow's car was broken in to 3 times in 2 weeks, everything was stolen on the 1st break-in </div>
<div>
>>> Seth Jacob Barlow joined our family July 10th, 2014</div>
<div>
>>> Seth J. cried a lot, pooped a lot, did not sleep a lot, was kissed a lot and cuddled a lot</div>
<div>
>>> Mr. Barlow's contract ended on the the Glass team suddenly </div>
<div>
>>> moved home to LA and lived with the Barlow Parental units while we job searched</div>
<div>
>>> Mr. Barlow got a job at a tech start up in San Mateo, the peninsula side of the Bay</div>
<div>
>>> I got a job as Resident Manager for the apartments we live in [Beth & Adler, if you are reading this we owe you our 2nd born child]</div>
<div>
>>> now we live in San Mateo and Mr. Barlow's commute is a 7 minute walk from our apartments</div>
<div>
>>> Seth J. finally learned how to nap and is still working on sleeping through the night</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We really have been taken care of by the Lord, family and friends. It feels like it has been a long 2 years and a lot of moving. I told Mr. Barlow we are not moving for at least 2-3 years! I hate packing. So much.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I want to write more. I think Cat wants me to write more. At least I found 2-3 old comments on this dusty blog asking me to. Here you go Cat, because I love you and China is so far. Thank goodness for your VPN and Google Hangouts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ALSO I HAVE BEEN HOME FROM THE WISCONSIN MILWAUKEE MISSION FOR 5 YEARS TODAY?! WHA??? I remember not taking my tag off until I went to bed even though I was released from being a missionary several hours before. I miss my Wisconsinites. I get so excited when someone brings up Wisconsin or I see something Wisconsin related. Or someone mentions cheese. Sconnies, I love you. I miss you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And here is Seth J.'s newest trick as of today! Standing in his crib! The little stinker finally figured out how to get up. [Taylor, this video monitor has been a lifesaver, thank you!]</div>

good news minute.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
mr. barlow and i are packing our bags and moving to the Bay area!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it is a sudden change and came out of left field. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but we are excited for the adventure and here is the tale...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
mr. barlow got an email from a Google recruiter on a Friday afternoon saying they matched his resume up with a job and wanted to interview him that coming Monday [Presidents Day].</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">[side note: jacob applied for a Google Fiber position months prior just for the fun of it but never heard anything back from it.]</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Monday came and he interviewed via Google Hangout and then had 3 more Google hangout interviews later that week. one was a group one where they had to sell each other on Gmail, Android or a Chromebook so they could test all their knowledge and skills about Google products.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they called him back the next week and offered him a position!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for what you ask? we have no idea!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he had to sign a non disclosure form and we still haven't been told the product he'll be working on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here's what we do know...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he has to be in Mountain View, Ca to train on Google Campus for about 3 weeks and then he'll be working out of the San Francisco office.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
oh ya, at the end of this month. in 3 weeks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that is all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we are taking a huge leap of faith <span style="font-size: x-small;">[not much info to go off of!]</span> but it feels right to the both of us and an adventure will be fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
especially where it is warmer then we are currently. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we are definitely going to miss our family and friends in the Utah Valley. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it has been a blessing to call this place our home for the past 1.5 years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
any guidance for the Bay area would be greatly appreciated!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
also in my last welcome back post i realized how ungrateful i sounded for my former job.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i want it to be known i was very grateful for a good paying job where i learned a lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it also helped me to push my Photoshop skills!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">[i hate sounding so rude, i apologize.]</span></div>

HELLO!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the last time i updated my blog was 9 months ago. <span style="font-size: x-small;">[no pregnancy </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">or baby was had]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i was extremely busy with work and wanted nothing to do with my computer when i was done for the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hence my blog got sorely neglected.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i was doing my editing job from home <span style="font-size: x-small;">[working in your pj's is awesome, btw] </span>but sitting at my computer for 10 hours a day = not so fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
spending those 10 hours in Photoshop making people look completely different also was not so fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i never had the opportunity to do my own photography and if i did i didn't always enjoy it like i use to because of the time i had to spend editing for my job.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i sound like a downright complainer. sorry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mr. barlow told me, "your job is sucking your soul out."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so with mr. barlow's encouragement and support i quit at the end of 2012.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">HALLELUJAH!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at the beginning of 2013 i was unemployed and that lasted for about a week! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">[we are SO lucky that mr. barlow still has an awesome job with Imagine Learning!]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my aunt is a kindergarten teacher and has 29 kindergartners. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they approved her for another Instructional Aide - THAT'S ME!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i work 2 hours a day in her classroom and help the ESL kids with their reading and writing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it really is awesome. i love to see them understand and finally get it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
now i have time to do my own photography and editing, it is so refreshing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have time to help teach kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have time to blog, catch up with friends, have lunch dates with mr. barlow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have time to run. <span style="font-size: x-small;">[well, once the snow goes away.]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i am one lucky lady.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
[mr. barlow gets a huge thank you for his support of my crazy working hours to quitting to being unemployed and now being a really part time worker.] </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cheers to more adventures and more blogging to come!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"Which leads me to my third and last point. This parable—like all parables—is not really about laborers or wages any more than the others are about sheep and goats. This is a story about God’s goodness, His patience and <a class="no-link-style" href="http://lds.org/general-conference/2005/10/forgiveness?lang=eng" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-style: none !important; border-color: initial !important; border-image: initial !important; border-left-style: none !important; border-right-style: none !important; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none !important; border-width: initial !important; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none !important; vertical-align: baseline;">forgiveness</a>, and the Atonement of the Lord Jesus <a class="no-link-style" href="http://jesuschrist.lds.org/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-style: none !important; border-color: initial !important; border-image: initial !important; border-left-style: none !important; border-right-style: none !important; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none !important; border-width: initial !important; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none !important; vertical-align: baseline;">Christ</a>. It is a story about generosity and compassion. It is a story about grace. It underscores the thought I heard many years ago that surely the thing God enjoys most about being God is the thrill of being merciful, especially to those who don’t expect it and often feel they don’t deserve it.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I do not know who in this vast audience today may need to hear the message of forgiveness inherent in this parable, but however late you think you are, however many chances you think you have missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made or talents you think you don’t have, or however far from home and family and God you feel you have traveled, I testify that you have <i style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">not</i> traveled beyond the reach of divine love. <span style="font-size: large;">It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ’s Atonement shines.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Whether you are not yet of our faith or were with us once and have not remained, there is nothing in either case that you have done that cannot be undone. There is no problem which you cannot overcome. There is no dream that in the unfolding of time and eternity cannot yet be realized. Even if you feel you are the lost and last laborer of the eleventh hour, the Lord of the vineyard still stands beckoning. “Come boldly [to] the throne of grace,” and fall at the feet of the Holy One of Israel. Come and feast “without money and without price” at the table of the Lord."</span></span></div>mrs. barlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01777452876674640539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295646933845224793.post-68871551022427306602012-04-05T07:03:00.000-10:002012-04-05T07:11:07.419-10:00inspiring poem..<div style="text-align: center;">

FILM IS NOT DEAD!<br />
it really isn't.<br />
i am obsessed with film.<br />
<br />
i wish i still had access to a darkroom.<br />
that would be lovely.<br />
but at least i have my analog cameras to play with.<br />
<br />
so why am i talking about film?<br />
<br />
because of this guy >>> <a href="http://canlasphotography.blogspot.com/">jonathan canlas</a><br />
<br />
he started FIND. [film is not dead]<br />
he holds workshops everywhere to teach anyone how to shoot film.<br />
want his book?! i have it. and love it >>><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Film-Not-Dead-Photographers-Shooting/dp/0321812808/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top"> FIND</a><br />
<br />
one day i will go to his workshop.<br />
and i already know i will love it.<br />
but until that happens i will just look at these photos everyday.<br />
<br />
about 2 months or so ago jonathan posted on FB that he needed some couples for models.<br />
[i follow him all over FB. i know kinda creepy. he prob gets tired of all my "liking"]<br />
a mutual friend of ours recommended me and mr. barlow.<br />
<br />
i immediately asked mr. barlow if he wouldn't mind going into work a little late so we could be a part of this.<br />
luckily he knows how obsessed i am with jonathans style and film.<br />
he said yes right away! thank you mr. barlow.<br />
<br />
now let your eyes feast on the beauties of film and jonathans greatness. <br />
