Have you ever noticed that the world revolves around numbers. House numbers, phone numbers, numbers for you size, numbers on your weight, numbers for tv channels, numbers here and there, they are everywhere.
It's amazing how depressing a number can be and how uplifting another can be. For instance, today, I got a call from a number and I was totally excited. It was my cousin, that I will be getting to see very soon.
Tuesday, I was at the doctor's office for the yearly violation, aka physical. After seeing the number on the scale I was down. I have been working on eating much better, drinking much better, and yet the scale was the same or pretty much the same.
However on Wednesday, I went shopping for a pair of jeans, that wouldn't fall down and give that ever dreaded plumbers butt. I found a pair that fit, and it was a 6!!!! Spirits are up. Feeling good.
I guess the point is, never get too upset by a number, it is after all just a number. Stay healthy, do your best and it will be ok.
Love to all!

Insomnia
I was laying in bed watching tv, just about to dose off. But then another show came on that I like, I decided to watch it. About 10 minutes into it. Travis decided to peel himself off the couch that he had fallen asleep on and come to bed. At this time, he turns on our extremely sound blocking-out fan, so I have to turn up the tv just to barely hear it. So I strain to hear the show, which then perks me up from all the concentration.... Needless to say, when it was over, I laid in bed for 45 minutes, staring around the room. Completely awake. I need to be sleeping a photo session at preschool tomorrow morning. I have to be up early and get the girls on the bus.
Instead I am messing around on the computer. I did get my business registered on google. So hopefully more people will find me when the search for a photographer. hmmm....we'll see if I did it right.
We went truck shopping today for Travis. I am feeling a bit uneasy about the decision. I don't know that it's a bad decision it just seems a bit much to take in. I'll explain. We leased his truck. Nice truck, but we traded a fully paid for vehicle in on it. Well, that made our payments really cheap. $130 a month, for that monster truck... Well, the lease is up in about three months. So we are at decision time, do we turn in back in and have nothing. Buy it out for the residual price, or trade it in on another truck and either lease again or buy....
I think we are going to trade it in on another lease. But for some reason my stomach is turning with that decision. I don't know if its because I need to just accept we are going to have a bigger payment no matter what, or if its my gut trying to say. "hey stupid! don't do that!"
I don't know. I need to talk to Travis a little more, but the booger is sleeping soundly.
Side note: I have been working out with Travis as he is training for the World Police and Fire Games. He has decided he wants to swim. He was not a swimmer in high school. He was a diver. BIG difference. He is doing really well. We have been doing the practices together. Which has helped me too. I have already dropped a jean size! And the new ones I just bought are already loose. Bummer on the budget, but awesome that the butt is getting smaller! Gotta say, I like exercising with him. In the pool, we are on a level playing field. His height, his stamina, and his incredible abilities on land, are cut down to where we are pretty equal in swimming.
He is doing really well, and I think once he learns all the technique of the strokes he will be zooming passed me. But for now, it is still fun.
Business has been slowing down. Which is not good. I like having a little free time. But I would really like to pick up a few more weddings for 2010. I am willing to travel. Actually I would love to travel;-)
Well, I guess that's all that's on my mind tonight.
Blessings to you all! <3

Changes
A new blog for many reasons. When I first started to blog I had something to say. But then I realized it would be a really easy way to show samples of my work. So then I created a different one. But I should have used the original to showcase my work. So I re-did some and deleted one.
So here, This place will be for my thoughts, interests, my vents, my happiness.
I will first tell you that back in August I decided I would put some goals in front of myself. I can't say that I progressed or not.
I am trying to be healthier. In that, I would like to loose a few pounds. Travis has even got on board and has been a real motivator. We joined an exercise club. Despite the cost. ugh! But, if we are paying for it, then we better be using it. So far, we are doing good.
I try to stay home at least one day a week. When Skye first started school, my freedom was almost overwhelming. But after the first couple of weeks, I realized I couldn't afford being out of the house so much, because I was spending money. So, I decided to dive headfirst into getting my business going at a fast walk. I don't think its ready to jog, but soon. Baby steps, to walking, to a fast walk. All with time. Referrals are always welcome! (www.4-ever-photos.com)
As for taking a picture every day. Not doing that so much. I have been working quite a bit. I have noticed that when you take pictures as work that last thing you think of is to grab the camera a take a few pictures. I need to do it. My little girl is growing up so very fast, and I know I will regret the fact that I have very few pictures of her. I have milestones, but not the snapshots like I use to have all the time. I even forgot the camera at Halloween. She was a gorgeous Sleeping Beauty. Ringlet curls and all. And I forgot the freakin camera!
Keeping in touch with people has been hard. I have to say that I have started to meet new people. Opening up a bit more. I always thought that I was a friendly person. But I realized I have a hard time opening up to people. It takes me a while to trust or feel safe. Not sure. But I have to say, I am very thankful for the new friends I have been meeting the last couple months. Some were strangers, some acquaintances, some parents of kids at Skye's school. All of which I am happy to have met, and hope to build stronger friendships with.
Blessings to you all!
