Turkey day!

So yesterday was the first time I have ever cooked a full thanksgiving dinner. It went well and We had lots of good food and great wine. My mother joined us and we fed the grandparents as well. It was wonderful having all the kids here together for the holiday. Hope you all had a great day and lots to be thankful for.

Middle man.

Today my middle man is being honored for being on the honor roll. It's funny he started middle school this year and has done well but you could tell he missed some of the things they did in elementary school for example when he brought home his report card he said well looks like they dont have awards for middle school. I told him how proud of him we are and he was given a reward for a job well done.... so what shows up in the mail last week ... an invitation to the awards assembly at the middle school. Middle man left the house today all dressed up and walking on air. Gotta love the diva that he is...
have a great day.

A new love

So if you have read my blog for log you will remember that a little over a year ago I had to have my beloved weenie dog put to sleep. She had seizures and iwas for the best... (I know this but it is still hard to wright that.) Any whooo Today I saw a friend of mine who has weenies and she told me that one of her dogs had gotten killed and that she was/had been bottle feeding two little girls. She showed me a picture and my heart just melted. She is a long haired black and tan weenie so she has all the qualities that I love about weenies but she doesn't look a thing like Okie! This is all good news for me since I brought her home tonight!!! she is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. I plan to love her to pieces!!!

Zombie Love!

The happy couple!

wacky weeding weekend!

This weekend I am shooting the wedding of a dear friends son. Nothing to spectacular about that but then you don't know Owen.... This young man is a Zombie nut, so the wedding maybe all nice and normal but the reception is going to be a ball. the first dance is a zombie love song, how cool is that! the bride has a good sense of humor so I am hoping they let me do some out of the box stuff. Have a great weekend everyone.

Prom

Tomorrow is the daughters senior prom! Where have the last 12 yrs gone??? She graduates in 15 days. I can not believe that he school day s are almost over. I am sad but excited and so happy for her. Her life is just starting and I a so proud of her!!! Pics tomorrow!

oh what a weekend

Little man came for a visit this weekend, one of the 17 yr olds had prom, I worked saturday.... Think I'll run to the store and get stuff to make a big breakfast then take the kido's out and play in the rain! I'm still really excited for this interview on tuesday. I got my portfolio together last night and I forgot I actually take good pic. It's been awhile since I Have thought that but looking at my work last night was a good reminder that I am a good photographer! Hope you all have had a great weekend!

Life

Helllooo I know I know it has been forever since I have been here... Well I have been here just not posting. I have been busy and lazy and had not much to write. I do have news that i wanted to share with someone and thought that maybe just maybe someone out there would be happy for me cause those here at home think I'm nuts! I have a job interview on Tuesday! Its for a major wedding photographer here in Ohio and he likes my work. I will get to do a few test shoots with him and then if we both like what we see I will have the job!!!! yeah OK it's crazy but it's what I want to do. I feel like I am dying in the current job and this would force me to shoot for real again! Here's the reason that people here think I'm crazy.... It's located 3 hours from my house. It would mean travel but hello I traveled before and for a lot less money so to me it's a no brainer. we shall see. keep your fingers toes and other body parts crossed i really want this job!

Snow .. snow.. snow..

It is snowing here AGAIN! It seems like all it has done is snow lately. I know it's winter and it's suppose to snow but damn I am over it!
They have canceled school again it looks like the kids may go to school till the end of June. I am sooooo over the snow and am ready for the spring, then summer and wine on the porch in the swing with my cop!
I hope your all well and warm and doing what you love to do in this crazy weather!
