photography :)

so as of yesterday,

i decided to make my own little business :)

not that i'm any professional,

but i'm going to start taking/editing photos

for families that live on post.

i'm pretty excited about it.

though i did get my first negative comment

on my idea to take photos today.

but lucky for me,

i cut that person out of my life a while ago.

so it really wasnt a surprise.

but other than that,

everyone has been super supportive

and i really cant thank people enough for that.

it means so much

when people have your back

on something that you have interest in.

so i started up a facebook page

for my photography business.

you can find it here :)

and then you can go and "like" it...

if ya want :)

thursday photo session with aubrey

so my awesome friend nicole

made aubrey a tutu and matching bow :)

so we decided to do a little photoshoot

and here's a few of the pics that i took..

and edited :)

isnt she just adorable :)

hi :)

tutu tushy

black and white :)

nicole and aubrey :)

and my absolute favorite!

shes probly the prettiest little girl ever.

yeah, ever.

sometimes this is hard..

i find myself going through different phases 

as an army wife.

sometimes i really love being here in VA.

i find myself always being very thankful

for the life that we have.

i love that i get to spend all day with my kids.

and i really try to not take that for granted.

but sometimes,

it gets really hard being in this house all day.

like today for instance,

james had to take my car to work.

and while theres no place that 

i have to go to,

it really stinks knowing that i cant go.

and when im stuck in the house,

i tend to start feeling a little down and sad.

like missing my mama a little more than usual.

missing my friends back home.

esp my friend teresa 

who is going through some hard times.

i really wish i could be there for her.

its hard not having those people with me.

knowing that i cant just see them whenever i want.

having to wait months before i can visit.

feeling my heart break a little each time 

when cayleb asks "wheres geenah?"

dont get me wrong,

i know that we are so blessed here.

im very lucky that james doesnt have to deploy

or leave us for any amount of time.

i know there are a lot of military wives

who are thousands of miles away 

from their family and friends.

tons of military families 

who have their loved ones deployed.

and i am so thankful that i get to have my husband here.

but that doesnt really make it any easier

 to be away from home.

i miss the familiarity of it all.

anyways,

i'll get out of this rut and back into routine.

hopefully the sun will shine tomorrow

and it will be nice and hot outside

so i can take the kids to the pool.

we need to get out of this house.

also, i think that getting into an excerise regime 

would really help me feel better all around.

but thats probly one of the hardest things 

for me to get into.

and thats my own fault.

well, thanks for listening to me feel sorry for myself :)

rain, rain go away.... but not really :)

woke up this morning to 

gloomy skies

wet ground

and a very grumpy 2 year old.

yay for me, right?

so i believe today will be one of those

take it easy,

not do anything,

work on my blog

days.

though i did vacuum already.

so i think that counts as productivity for the day.

so i think our day will be spent

watching tangled,

reading green eggs and ham

and eating grilled cheeses in like 3 hours.

i mean who knows,

maybe i'll get a text or call 

from someone who is wanting some company..

but im not bankin on it.

because most people probly feel the same way i do

about rainy days..

they are meant for laziness.

dont you agree?

oh monday

well folks,

its monday again.

which means its the start of another long week. 

this morning ive already vacuumed and mopped.

now i have to wash aubreys bottles

and figure out what to make my kiddies for lunch.

then who knows.

i thought about going to the pool,

but sometimes its just so much effort.

i mean, 

not only do i have to get the kids ready,

but i have to get all of their stuff in a bag

and pack snacks.

then when we get there its just me keepin up with 2.

and then trying to leave is even more of a hassle.

thats mostly my fault though

because i like to change them out of their suits 

in case they fall asleep in the car on the way home.

and 90% of the time thats what happens.

so i havent quite decided yet if i'm up for the pool today.

as of now im sitting here blogging

and cayleb is watching cars

(so the floor can dry)

and aubrey is sleeping.

ive yet to figure out what im gonna make for dinner tonight.

thats always my least favorite part.

i get tired of making the same things over and over again.

honestly, if i had it my way

we would go out to eat every night for dinner.

i love to go out to dinner.

definitely my favorite thing to spend money on.

but alas, we cant do that very often.

oh james' birthday is this saturday.

still trying to figure out what we are gonna do.

anywho, 

maybe i'll figure out how to spice up my blog a little.

cuz i still dont know what im doin.

so, until next time..

by yall :)
