I thought to post some pictures today, I haven't in awhile. So how is everyone doing? I am good, I have been super busy. Saturday I worked all day had 3 photoshoots that I did. Worked on photos, prints and order my prints for the ArtWalk (oct. 5) I am very excited about to get the prints! No one has seen the ones I have picked nor have anyone see the photos other than Curtis and the Print guy. They are so cool and I can't wait to share them and maybe sell one or two. 

Also bought my plane ticket for my Maine flight for the 25. We also think we have found the perfect building for the studio! Its everything we are looking for and more. Post pictures of it soon! I am going to go look at it when I get into Maine so I will get a few shots to show yall. 

The only thing is that I am going to miss Curtis like crazy, and little Wookie. Yes, Curtis is not coming up yet not in till everything is going to work out and all. Which I hope it does. But he is planning to come up during Christmas and hopes to bring little Wookie. Just so much is going on and its all exciting and a little sad but I hoping for the best and I do believe everything happens for a reason. And with something like is possible you just don't want to pass it up. You know? 

Well I better go.. I just notice that is is 5mins till 3AM!!!!! Crazy.. I just love to read others blogs :) 

Good night, well I mean good morning and hope everyone has a Happy Monday!

Well since NOV a lot has happened. Curtis and I have a great Christmas and new years even though I was away for New Years we still had a great one.. We did Facebook kisses :)) The reason I was away I was visiting my mother all the way up in MAINE! It was super cold and yes I flew all by my lonesome. It was a wonderful trip.

So now.. I am still doing my Photography, and I have made some new great friends and lost a few... I think it happens for the best. Well My mom is coming down in June/July. We are going to the beach in FL! We are going on the the gulf side of FL because it the prettiest. I have never see the beach in FL so I am very excited! Which gets me to a new topic I am starting Zumba classes this week.

I have taken Zumba before which I was in college in Greenwood. I had to stay fit! ;) So I know it works and I know it will work again! And I dont have to have a gym membership to take the class which I am happy about! It is $5 a class and I am going on Tuesday and Thursday. But since I am doing it only on two days out of the week. I am going to be jogging/ walking on the days in between.   I am really excited, I gotta look hot for the beach this year! I am really going to stick to it too.... I am hanging up my swimsuit to remind me everyday that I wanna look good in my 2 piece. So each week I will take a photo in my swimsuit up intill my trip and record my process and hope to share with you all! yay! Have any of yall done Zumba? 

Spring is coming...

My Happy Jar

Hey!
I thought to add a wonderful little thing I thought that would be nice to add to The Happiness Project. like yesterday I said for week 2 I wanted to be crafty. So far it's going good.. I have crafted a little today too. I created a cute little pink flower. Which your will see in at the end of this post. I am hoping to add something everyday this week to my Happy Jar.. I added a few things to it to day.

• A picture of Curtis and I
• A picture of my Family
• My favorite earrings
• My mini ipod for music because it has all happy music for when I use it to go jog. 
• And my favorite Finger nail Polish 

There are lots more that makes me happy but that is just a few I added today (: Do this I believe will help me to remember what all makes me happy and that I am very thankful for what I have in my life today.. Even if it's just small things. 

Family is one big thing that makes me happy and this Saturday I am doing family pictures of my family and of me. I am the one that came up with the idea.. It's a great thing we are all getting together and spending some time together, even though not all like their picture taken.. That we should remember the reason why we doing them. 

Sorry if I am just rambling.  Anywho here is the pictures! (: 

Carter didn't like when I let the camera take a picture of us on auto..
"Mama, Why is the camera making a strange, scary sound?"

What are some things that make you happy, or what are you thankful for in your life? 

Dream & Dream Some More...

“Why Dream? 

Life is a difficult assignment. We are fragile creatures, expected to function at high rates of speed, and asked to accomplish great and small things each day. These daily activities take enormous amounts of energy. Most things are out of our control. We are surrounded by danger, frustration, grief, and insanity as well as love, hope, ecstasy, and wonder. Being fully human is an exercise in humility, suffering, grace, and great humor. Things and people all around us die, get broken, or are lost. There is no safety or guarantees. 

The way to accomplish the assignment of truly living is to engage fully, richly, and deeply in the living of your dreams. We are made to dream and to live those dreams.”
