It’s been a minute since my last blog post…about 23438390138403243 minutes to be more realistic. What have I been doing? I’ve been taking a lot of f’ing pictures and drinking way too much wine is what I've been doing. I wouldn’t really say this blog post has a specific topic because I feel like there’s so much to key you in on. I would say I’m getting better at taking pictures. I’ve had so much practice over the last 10 months, it would be impossible for me to not get better at something I’m consistently doing. I’ve been celebrating friends lately. Several good friends have had birthdays over the months I haven’t posted. One got married in December..I might still be recovering from that as well (ha!) I got to see one of my best friends from college as she traveled through Kansas City moving from Chicago to Tucson…woohoo – new place to visit! I’ve moved into a new apartment (in July—wow!) I had a birthday in October and tacked on another year --Ahhh! I don’t feel much older but when I think about turning 29 on my next birthday I think that sounds totally CRAAA-ZZAAYYY. I traveled to Newport Beach in November then spent time at home over the holidays enjoying my family, all of the delicious restaurants home has to offer, and of course taking pictures of the animals around the farm. I went on a cruise with my family over Spring Break (yes, I’m still taking spring breaks;) ) The month of April I got to break in my new cowboy boots (thank you, Justin) and traveled to Nashville for a friend’s bachelorette party. Two weekends later went back to Newport with some of my best friends for a relaxing weekend at the beach and got to catch an Angels game while we were there.
I can’t believe another school year has come and gone. I finished my 6th year of teaching and at one of the last “book clubs” aka HAPPY HOUR of the year, we read one too many chapters and four coworkers and I decided to book a trip to Puerto Rico leaving the weekend school got out. I live spur of the moment, hate to make plans, mostly because I hate to wait and it’s more fun when you can’t build up all these expectations of what it should be like, etc. Sooooo..that was a fun one! I just got back a week ago today and I think I’m still trying to catch up on sleep, energy, pictures, friends, etc. Many of you have asked will I start my 7th year of teaching or take pictures full time? I think my best answer for you is, YES, I WILL! Although pictures have really been a huge part of my life lately and more opportunities popping up daily (ahhh!) I really do enjoy my teaching job and I love the kids I get to work with everyday. I think I would miss them way TOO much! Also, I like to spend a lot(probably too much lately), so I need to continue to work hard to earn as much money as I can for as long as I can!
I started this blog a year ago in April and when I started I thought I would try to at least post once a week –we can see how well that’s going for me, since my last post was added LAST SUMMER!
Right now, I don’t have any BIG vacations coming up, just enjoying being home for the current moment and a few lake trips in the near future. My favorite holiday is right around the corner – cant wait to celebrate AMERICA at Table Rock! I have quite a few photography gigs coming up that will keep me moving. I’ve also said YES to taking pictures for weddings this fall and into 2018 that I’m SUPER excited about. I love it and I can’t wait to keep the ball rolling. I’m so thankful for all of the opportunities that God has created for me and most importantly all of the people who have come into my life through these experiences. Thanks for taking the time to catch up on me! I would love to hear about YOU! Leave a comment to keep me updated or to introduce yourself! I love meeting new people and having connections with fun humans all over the place! Keep being the beautiful, unique person you were created to be..Many blessings and positive vibes to you and yours! Don’t give up on what you deserve! xoxo
