So, I saw this on Ashley's blog and thought it was a cute idea. I love things like this, the little random details of people that let you understand them a little better, maybe I am just a nosey person, but I think it is interesting....so here are 25 Things you may not know about me....

1. There are certain food that I cannot say no under any circumstance, such as- oreos, krispy kreme donuts, pb&j sandwiches,pizza and mexican food

2. I wish I had finished college. Not necessarily in the field that my major was, but I wish I had gotton some type of degree.

25. I love to watch my boys while they are peaceful and sleeping. It makes me think about all the good times we have had, how precious they are, and what the future holds for them.

Engagement Session

So- I had my first real photo session this evening with Leah and Austin.  I think it went well, especially considering I wasn't really too sure exactly what I was doing.  It was a learning experience for us all, but I couldn't have asked for a better couple to work with.  They are so cute together and are so in love!  Here are a couple of my favorite shots pre-editing of course!

Keeping Up With The Times

Well we are finally catching up with the happenings of the present! We officailly have a computer and internet in our home! Yes I know that this happened for most people atleast 5 years ago if not more but I have never really had the need to have a computer at home. I always had one available at work and really didn't want to see one sitting in my living room after working on one all day, plus I didn't want the added expense of the internet. Again yes I know it doesn't cost that much, but hey every penny counts!!

This past weekend we made a trip to Best Buy to have a look at our options and left with an iMac! Drake of course was ecstatic and is looking up everything Godzilla that he can find...don't ask me why he is on a Godzilla kick, it just happened, but that's a different story. Brent has looked up tons of golf sites and has made a decision on what clubs he wants to buy... after we pay off a few things of course! I on the other hand have been playing around with the photo editing software that we bought. I am in the process of editing all of our wedding pictures so I can maybe have them printed sometime before our first anniversary!!

I am also trying my hand at doing some photography on the side so the new software will really come in handy! I have my business cards ordered and have my first official session tomorrow- with real "customers" other than my poor kids!! I am a little nervous but I am so excited at the same time! It is an engagement session and hopefully if things go well a wedding session will follow! Wish me luck!

Here We Go....

Well here we go. I have thought about having a blog for a while now- mostly to keep in touch with people. I worry though that I won't have anything too interesting to say!! I am not sure I am creative enough to have a successful blog, but I am gonna try it anyway, and we will see what happens! I guess most of you reading this pretty much know me but just in case - Brent and I just got married at the end of May and had an amazing honeymoon in Jamaica! Our Brady bunch style family includes three amazing boys! Drake is the oldest he just turned 6, I can't believe how fast he has grown up. He is quite the character and I can never tell what he is going to come up or what he will say. It's entertaining to say the least! Then there is Ethan who is 5. He is the sweetest, most caring child. He can always melt your heart. On the other hand he is all boy and is definetely a handful at times, but what boy isn't right?! That just leaves Zane, or Zane Bug as we call him. He will be 1 in September and I don't know where the time has gone. It seems like time has a way of speeding up the more kids you have!! He is such a good baby and of late has become quite the mama's boy- which I love!!! So there you have it- the summary of me! More to come!!!
