Day 5


Day 5

If ever a day went fast, this one did. I barely got today's picture done before midnight(can you tell by the crappy quality??). I spent all evening shopping with my MIL and running around town. It was a blast, but I ache head to toe from it. We spent hours at Walmart. And not one Walmart, but two. Yes, I am indeed a Walmart whore. Guilty. My son is going to be so spoiled(did I say going to be? He already is). We spent a ton of money and I'd say almost all of it was for him. I can't complain too much, I enjoy getting things for him. I love to see his face light up. I got a few of the wedding pictures printed to see how they would look on paper, and I have to say they look pretty damn good. I've had my camera for what? 6 or 7 months? I have worked my ass off practicing and it really feels good to have it pay off. It's wonderful to finally feel like I may have a talent for something. Don't get me wrong, I'm no Ansel Adams, but I think in the short amount of time I've been working at this, I'm doing pretty good. It's not often I pat myself on the back. Next week I have to shoot the rummage sale fundraiser for our class at school. I wonder if anyone will show up. Honestly, I don't even care that much, it's just another opportunity for me to practice. I'm also hoping to have a session with my cousins next week. I would love to be able to do more, but I don't want to get in over my head with school starting. I have to keep reminding myself that if I can just finish nursing school, I can pursue photography all I want, but no matter what, I'll have a secure job. It's just so hard to wait. I know the time will fly, but my heart just isn't as in it as it was. It does make me feel better to know that I can pursue my passion, but I won't jeopordize my family's financial security over it.

What else? Oh yeah, I was massively backed up and my stomach was killing me, but I've solved that problem. Just what you wanted to hear, yes?
