Looking back over this blog, it's kind of bittersweet. My lasts posts were about my nephew and his g/f being pregnant. Now, Emma Kate is here. I see pictures of my nephew in law Ray playing guitar with my dad, and he is soon to be my ex-nephew in law. I miss having him and Selena around. My brothers still gone away, to college...aka prison but only one year left before he's home! (Look out world!) Probably the biggest difference is the fact that Tim and I are no longer together. So much can change in such a little amount of time. Seems like it was only a few weeks ago when I was obsessed with blogging every day, when it's been months since I have. So, my one loyal follower and my facebook friends who read my blog... aka MOM ... I have a new life plan. I'm on the non plan... plan. That's right I have no plans there for I'm on the non plan plan. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'll have to get back to you on that one.
While I was busy with my plans before, my business blew up. Which was exactly what I wanted. I am pretty happy about that. My favorite thing about being a photographer is meeting new people and that every person is a different photo, and a different experience. You could take the same persons picture five times a year and still it would always be different. A change of scenery sometimes is good though, and I think that's why I love my job. It's never "the norm".
As I said, Emma Kate is here and she's beautiful. She made a pretty grand intro into the world. She was total Diva, spending the first week of her life under total supervision at Ruby. At first I was worried, but now I think maybe she just wanted to be sure people were paying attention. We all definitely pay attention to her. Along with my other nieces and nephews she's one of the best things that has ever happened to me and my family. Strange how a new baby can bring a family together. Also strange how you can love someone so much when you have known them for only a little while.
I finally won the Doddridge Fair Talent Show! Who woulda thunk it after all those years? I'm planning on a doing a few talent shows this weekend. Will I ever blow up and be as rich and famous as GA GA? Probably not, but I'll do it anyways. Preforming is the ultimate drug. You are up there completely alone, you wanna puke, and at the same time you want to be fabulous. Your adrenalin rushes, your head spins, you do things you don't even realize your doing. When it's all said and done you walk away, and think was I just dreaming? Or did that really just happen? You can do awesome, and become a local celebrity. Or you can embarrass the hell out of yourself and forever be shamed, or at least until you redeem yourself. One way or another, your heart is gonna beat right out of your chest and its a huge rush. Fourteen years, and I still love the thrill of totally kicking ass! Anyone who knows me, knows I bring it.
My dad is now 73 years young! Every day I have with him is blessing. I hope he lives to see 100! I can't imagine life with out him, and can't think him and my mother enough for all that they do for me. Then there was also the concert, memories made with friends. It was an awesome time! Toni caught a buck cherry drum stick, and she gave it to me! That's how you know your friend loves you. She rocks so much! I couldn't leave that out of "awesome things that has happened to me!". Other then making a fool of myself, making friends, and MAKING LOVE... not really..... making memories is my favorite thing to "make". I'm making plenty of memories these days, and new friends. Some of my "old friends" will soon be memories.
Through all the other curve balls and ups and downs, this is whats in my heart at the moment. I know people think my blogg is crazy non-since, and it is. But its my crazy non since life... in pictures...
A Day With Hung Fooey!
AKA Braylynn
No matter what, when she comes around it's like some one opens the curtains to sunshine. She makes me smile so much. Something about how she is forever happy that brings joy into the world. She also can do a mean hokey pokey.
Braylynn playing in the leaves. The most awesome thing that children bring into your life is the fact that they return the innocence to your heart. While they are discovering the world we are reminded of whats good and wholesome, the things we take for granted, like leaves in the fall.
The beautiful Emma Kate. So glad God sent her to my family. She is Loved. She shares her birthday with her cousin from Cleveland, Damien. How cool is that?
A photograph from the last wedding I did. Pictures are worth a thousand words. This one makes me smile so much. This poor bride had hands all over her junk, and still she smiles... awkwardly. The things women go through to be beautiful for there men! It was nice to see two people that really love each other. Reminds me that true love can happen... like pooh... ok that didn't sound very romantic. But yea, love is real people! Maybe some day it will happen for me... but i doubt it will any time soon. (Single but NOT looking)
My best friend and I at a Denny's. Photographing him is like taking pictures of a wildebeest or something. I've known him for like four years and have like two photos of him. Good friends are hard to come by these days. So if you have one, love them, be there for them, and tease them about anal beads. Isn't that a rule or something? Oh well... NEXT
Wow I for real look ugly in this pic? Me and Tony Dodd at the Rock Allegiance Tour. Tony is Tims best friend but he still can be cool with me. Thanks for not trying to be a douche bag to me for no reason, like Darel Hilkey and his girlfriend who doesn't even know me? But yea means a lot to me to know that there are people out there who will treat you like a human being, no matter who your with. Just Sayin!
Te Amo!
Last but not least, I don't know WHAT THE HELL this ugly ass thing is... but it's so freakishly ugly I figured... that belongs in my blogg!
This is not Nancy Grace, and I don't have twins... but goodnight friends! :)
