I believed that it is named appropriately after NieNie. I stumbled upon her blog last week while reading another friend's blog. It has been a joy for me ever since. You see NieNie's story is like no one else's. She survived a plane crash which burned 80% percent of her body. Her blog is about her experience and how much she loves her family.
I have no idea how she has so much energy and is just a supermom all around. I love her pictures. They're fun and simple of her family, just everyday life. NieNie is always positive about everything! When I'm feeling down and blue, I open NieNie's blog and it's an immediate lift to my spirit. See for yourself as I've included my favorite post from her.
NieNie and her family
In Stephanie Nielson's words a.k.a. NieNie (from her blog)
I think all my energy was sucked out of me when the plane crashed.
I have to promise myself every morning that I will do anything it takes to get it back. All of it. (even if that means going to yoga at 6:00 am)
I want to do the things I used to do along with the extra things that need to be done now.
I've almost gotten everything else back from that awful day.
I can spend time with my children and nothing stops us.
I get to love my husband and kiss him and more ...(wink*)
I get to decorate my house, scrub the toilet, listen to the crickets out my window
and make school lunches every morning.
Smell the rain, look forward to snow, and go for walks by the mountains.
I can zip up ziplocks, tie my shoes, make a mean chocolate cake, drive and text.
(but certainly NOT together).
Wow, I never thought this day would ever come.
But it has.
There is always hope for something more, something better.

Even though I've never met NieNie, I can't believe how much she's helped me. Our pains, our trials are completely different but it comes down to one thing: overcoming it with joy!
That's what I want my pictures to portray. All those fun happy memories that I never want to forget and to remember to have joy no matter what. That's why my camera is named Nie, so I don't ever forget!
So I hope Kevin likes my surprise at the game tonight! Maybe if I put a U sticker on it, he'll love it even more.
