Bye Bye Good Friend

Today, a good and new friend leaves Fayetteville behind. She is moving to Conway to UCA where they will actually work with her on school and classes. In celebration myself, her, and two other friends set out Wednesday (with my new tripod-thanks M-I-L) and took some pictures together. I ended up making her a canvas out of the picture I'll be sharing today. We've known each other a while but only recently became friends so the last few weeks have been filled with a lot of hangout time between the 4 of us. Enjoy a few pics from our photoshoot! :)

A Busy Life It Is

Well, so much for a photo a day! Life just caught up with me...along with other things. I am however, still taking pictures. I guess that matters most right?! Right! :) Starting back to school next week and I am anything but excited. I'm glad I finally have some Psychology classes this semester but I'm not looking forward to how busy I'll be between those and my Spanish class. I guess we'll see. My most recent "project" has been helping my mom create a photo wall for their house. She is turning pictures I take into canvases. I'll be sharing the photo I took of my sister since it is the most recent. I'll also include the photo of her that I submitted to a contest. I'll hear back about that contest in a few days! I also want to include a few pictures I've taken since the last time I posted. I did a natural beauty model shoot and it exceeded my expectations!

Day 74: Good Grief, this New Schedule

....Is kicking my butt. I started my new job Tuesday and have been busy all summer. I really hope I'll make myself get back intot he habit of writing here. I love it but it easily slips my mind. I do have new pictures though!! I had a photography job this past Saturday and got some awesome shots. The family was very excited about them, as was I :)

Day 73: Uhh... Sorry :)

Wow wow wow, I am WAY behind. Life has been insane these last few weeks. Since I probably couldnt really catch up, I'm just going to continue from today. There will still be 365 days. Hopefully I can continue to keep up from now on. I got a new job which I start next week. I am BEYOND excited. I'll will be a day camp couselor at The Jones Center. I love working with kids and the best part is, I'm done early and I get to sleep in my own bed! During high school I worked and was also one a camper at a summer camp that was stay over. I had kids pretty much 24/7 the last summer I was there. It was some of the best times of my life but it sure kept me tired. Jake is taking summer school and I'll be working two jobs, mostly at the Jones Center though. Hoping this summer stays going smooth and very enjoyable!

This is a photo from my most recent shoot! :) Love it!! About to do prints for this wonderful family.

Day 72: Sorry for the Confusion

One of my blogs never published and was made a draft. That explains the mess up in numbers and days. Read as usual day 70, 71, 72...etc. Day 66 is just as it says, its just out of place on the blogsite. Today I cleaned house and went to work. Not much to say. It wasnt very exciting. I wish is was though cause this is my only week off until Summer classes start. Glad I have a real 6 weeks off after that though :)

I shot this Yesterday after we made it back to Fayetteville. We stopped to fly Jake's birds and the sky was unbelievable. Pictures of the sun and sky never do the actual view justice though.

Day 66: Another Day

Well today is anothe day of studying and work. Tonight was GREAT though. Jake and I have a group of friends here and we all have the same mentor. We're kinda of like a young couples group. We have all only been together once but we're all doing the same dating challenge for the next year. Our female mentor sends us a date idea and the male mentor sends them theirs. They are very creative and interesting dates and can be modified if you like. Also, each spouse has a date each month. That means two dates a month for the next year!! YAY!! Well I did my date tonight and it was a lot of fun. I'm so glad we started this! :) Jake's date will be next week.

Found an old SD card with our first Christmas pics on it. Not sure if these are also hiding on my computer some where or not.

Day 71: Happy Birthday

Today after church we had the kids birthday party at my aunt and uncles. It was also for all the moms in our family. We had a lot of family there and really enjoyed their nice patio and the kids enjoyed the pool. I really wanted to swim but it was just a little to cold for me. Its still so hard for me to believe the kids are so old. Kyler is 9 and Addie is 6. It seems like yesterday I was at the hospital waiting for them to be born. I don't know where I'd be without either of them. Both of them have taught me so much and I love them to the end of the world. :)
