i was born- natalie merchant (aka my birthday song) |
] |
hay! my birthday is in 42 minutes. fun huh? well sort of
i don't have one this year because i'm really born on the 29th.... yeah leap year....
funny i was just talking to sarah about it.. and sometimes i forget that being born on a leap year is weird.
i mean i am weird enough..... but to just top it off God made me born on leap year. i can just see my heavenly father smiling and laughing when he decided that i was to be born on this awkward funny day!
funny how birthdays are even on purpose. God's plan is perfect and everything happens for his will.
"For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have recieved the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, Abba! Father! The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs-heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him."

In 1850, Gardner and his brother James, along with seven others made the trip to America. Here they established a cooperative community close to Monona, in Clayton County, Iowa. Gardner would return to Scotland to raise more money and gain new recruits for their community.
In May 1851, Gardner visited the "Great Exhibition" in Hyde Park, where he saw photographs. He soon afterwards became interested in learning about photogarphy.

Gadner decides to abandon his community and settle with his family in New York. Soon after doing so, he finds employment with the photographer Mathew Brady. He quickly develops into an outstanding photographer.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, Gardner finds himself working for Brady and travelling throughout the United States taking pictures of the war and it's effects on America. In November of 1861, General McClellan appoints Gardner to his staff with the honorary rank of captain. Gardner photographed the battles of Antietam, Fredercksburg, Gettysburg, and the siege of Petersburg.
