Loving life :)

So it's been a while since I wrote but it's because David is here! YAY!!! We are having a blast. We've done so much since he's been here. We've been to Dover, we're going to a water park tomorrow afternoon and Rehoboth tomorrow night. It's been such a great week!!!! I love having him here and I wish he could stay forever haha
Work has been good too, but I've learned that I really don't like coupons. When people use coupons, I don't make money. And when I don't make money it makes me sad :( But still work is so fun! I feel like I have so much to write about but I can't think of anything else to say so I guess that's it. So have a great day and remember to smile :)

What a weekend

So it's been a crazy weekend. I can't remember the last time I posted and I don't feel like looking....yeah it's been one of those days. I think I last posted Friday so we'll just start with Saturday.We'll start with the good parts of the weekend. I worked all day on Saturday and I shot pictures of these adorable twin girls. So cute. I made my first sale on Saturday too. I hope to get more practice on my sales tomorrow. I am confident in my photography skills, I just have a couple of things I need to work on,  it's just the sales I need help on. Anyways so I work tomorrow and I am still loving it.
So yesterday Aunt Amy, Jake, and Mom-Mom came over for dinner. Dad smoked some ribs, which were sooooo fit, we cooked our first Britts sweet corn of the year :), and had cucumbers and onions. It was soooo good. Anyways, we were cleaning up and Kelly said that Dad needed Mom outside. I was bored and everyone was outside so I was gonna go to but Kelly said I wasn't allowed. I was very curious and didn't know why I couldn't go outside, but she persisted. So I stayed inside. So they come in and I said why couldn't I be out there and dad said that they had a surprise for me. He said we are paying for David to come up here and he'll be here Friday afternoon. I couldn't believe it. I had a smile on my face from here to North Carolina. So he's coming in on Friday and staying the whole week with me. I am so excited. It'll be 8 weeks on Saturday since we've seen each other so it's a good thing that he's coming cause I'm missing him like crazy. So that was the good part of the weekend.
The bad part of the weekend also happened yesterday. Mom-Mom fell before coming over to dinner and was sore when she got here of course. We didn't think there was anything wrong but then we tried to get her up a couple of hours after she had been here and she couldn't move it. So we called the ambulance and she ended up breaking her knee and stayed in the hospital tonight. She's home now but really needs some rehab or therapy so we're taking her to the doctor tomorrow to see what's up. So anyways, keep her in your prayers for a fast and pain free recovery.
I think that's about it so have a great night. Remember to smile :)

Excuse me ma'am....

So yesterday was a great day! I actually got to take pictures. Of people. Of real live people!! And they loved them!!! It was a great feeling to have them look at some of my work and ooh and ahh. Elizabeth and I weren't expecting to take pictures yesterday but we did and it went pretty well. We had some trouble posing but hopefully by the end of the weekend we will be fine. But I love my job...I'm so blessed and happy that the Lord provided me with this job.
I'm watching Jake man before I go into work this afternoon. He's learning how to ride a bike so I'm not sure if we'll get into any of that today. I'm kinda thinking pool day :)
David is leaving the Burg today. I wish he was turning onto 29 North instead of 29 South but oh well. I'll see him in 4 weeks. Loooonnngggg time!!!
I don't have much else to say....my blog is kinda boring. I have to figure out how to spice it up haha. Anyways hope everyone has a great day. Remember to smile :)

Look this way Teddy Bear!

So today I finally got to touch the camera!!! It was so fun! We got to have a fake session with a teddy bear. We got to use whatever backgrounds and props that we wanted and then we learned how to edit them. It was so much fun to pose and to just get the creative energies moving again. We learned the sales tips today and then tomorrow we have to "sell" Teddy's pictures to our studio manager. It sounds like its going to be fun. We hopefully will be able to take our own sessions this weekend eeeeeeee!!!!! :)
So this drum major thing that David is at is about as strict as the army. I told him last night that I got to talk to him more when he was working for the Department of Defense. He thought that was really funny and told me to put it in here lol. So Friday can't come soon enough. 2ish weeks without having more than a 5 minute long conversation is enough for me.
This is completely off topic from everything else that I have written in here the past 2 days but I just was awestruck today that our Lord isn't a boring Lord. He keeps everything fresh and he is exciting. I was reading a link on Facebook that someone posted from Stuff Christians Like and it was talking about our God being a God of exclamation marks. How awesome is that? In Isaiah 40:9 it says "You who bring good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do "not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, “Here is your God!” I mean really..."Here is your God!!!!!" That is just awesome. He is an exciting God and it just makes me love Him that much more.
That's all for now. Remember to smile :)

To finish this module...

So today was my second day of work and I finished my video tutorials. I loved it! I mean the video tutorials were boring but the work in general I think is going to be so fun. I love the girls I work with and I think that we are all going to get along great. Fun fact...one of the girls that I'm working with was in Aunt Amy's class in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade. Small world. Anyways, I love it and I can't wait to start taking pictures.
Mom-Mom and Kelly went to Dover with me today. While I worked they shopped. Kelly is still trying to get wedding stuff together. Today we decided that we are going to get the ties for the guys from Bridal Boutique. We went in there today and the ladies were so nice. The one lady that helped Kel was so nice and we talked about Maggie Sottero dresses for like 20 minutes. She was so helpful and polite. I hope that someday I can buy my dress from her.
David called this evening on his dinner break at the camp and said that he was at the Rot and it made me miss Liberty. Not the Rot but just Liberty in general. He's going to Osaka's on Friday with Drew and Josh and I would LOVE to be there. Mmmm some japanese food would be sooo good right now. I would make it myself but my Mom is allergic to soy and that is kind of important in japanese food haha.
Okay so I'm just rambling now so I'm going to end this. Hope everyone had a great day. Remember to smile :)

Trying something new

So I've decided to jump on the bandwagon and try and start a blog. It took me forever to come up with a name because I have no idea what I want this blog to be about. I'm thinking it's going to be a little of everything. So here goes nothing.

I start a new job today. It's as a studio photographer at Sears Portrait Studio. I'm very very very excited to start this job. I love that it is semi close to what I studied in school. It's not video but it's media nonetheless. Today is orientation and computer training so hopefully by the end of the week I will get to touch a camera.I miss cameras. I am kind of nervous in a way as well. So hopefully I can keep my wits about me and do awesome. It's a 45 minute drive so I'll have time to work my nerves out listening to my awesome Christian radio :)

David is on his way to the Burg today and I wish I could go with him. I realized today that I do miss Lynchburg. I just want to be able to see everyone. I wish that Lynchburg was in Delaware because then everything that I love would be in one place. Anyways, David is going up there to be a liaison at a drum major camp that is being held at LU. He left at 9 and is just leaving the High Point area because he blew out a tire, so hopefully the rest of the trip is smooth. Keep him in your prayers.

So that's my first attempt at a blog post. Hopefully they get better. Remember to smile today :)
