Third Place! Go Cougars!!!

So today is always a bittersweet day.  It is Father's Day.  Father's Day is always special because Brandon is an amazing dad.  It is a day that makes me miss my daddy so much.  He was amazing and truly my hero.  I know that he would be so proud of these boys and that he would love nothing more than spending his day with all of us, especially at the ballpark.  My dad was a huge part of me and I miss him so much.  There is a hole in my heart that was left when he left for Heaven, and while I know that he is happy and healthy there is still a very selfish part of me that wishes he was here.  A little chat and a hug would be amazing.  To my daddy and to my amazing husband Happy Father's Day! 
We spent our Father's Day at Huffman ballpark.  It was great. Our frst game was against CenterPoint.  We won 17-12. I  was so proud of the boys.  They played great and they are now 3rd.  Immediatly after game 1 we played Pinson again.  This is the same Pinson team we played Thursday night.  They won 20-12.  So we finished this tournament in 3rd, which is awesome.  I am so proud of all of these boys.  They played hard.  We do have one coach who seems to want Danny to hold the ball.  I understand he has not played with Danny before, but defensively Danny can make the plays.  Many catchers cannot and if he is paired with the right infield.  Sorry, I needed to vent.  I am over it sort of, my baby loves baseball and he truly believes that one of his coaches hates him and that is not the case.  Anyway.  I think overall our coaches are amazing.  When you see teams like the Pinson team, whose coach yells and cusses and argues with everything I again am so thankful that we are at Clay where overall the coaches want the boys to do well, but more than that they excel. 

We headed home and I have edited a little more and am about to head to bed.  I am exhausted, and I need to rest as this week is going to be non stop!  I am so ready though.  Regionals here we come! 

Endings

The boys' both finished up the regular season of baseball today.  In fact they both played their last games at 10:00.  Fortunately they were on fields next to each other so I was able to stand in the middle and see them both.  The funny thing was I was on the wrong side for both  teams, but at least I was able to see them.  That is what I cared the most about. 

Both teams lost.  John Michael's team I think was worn out from playing till after 10 last night.  Danny's team had the other team, but a bad call and it was all over.  I hate that they ended the way that they did, but they both had a GREAT season and they both had fun (for the most part) and that is what I care about.

Danny's team party was right after the game down at the park by the library.  They had hot dogs, chips, ice cream, and cupcakes.  It was a great party and their trophies were awesome. 

We headed to the new house and we were glad to see that they had started the roofing process.  I love to see progress it makes me a very happy lady!

We went to hang out with some great friends tonight.  We had a blast.  The kids played in the pool, and basically wore themselves out.  We had a great time too.  It was nice just to be able to kick back and relax, something that I do not do nearly enough.  Thanks Tami and Kevin for having us over.  Thanks Rebecca and Andy for a great dinner!  You are all awesome!

To Get Done

This morning we were late, not by a lot and had they not been working on Montclair road we would have made it, but it is what it is.  At least we made it safely.
I had a photo shoot this morning after I dropped the boys off so I headed down town to fight to find a space to park at Rail Road park.  That is not an easy task for anyone who has not tried it lately.
After the shoot I headed to the school to help stuff math packets for the Kindergarten and First Graders to have for the summer.  I was able to see both the boys, which was a nice plus to the middle of the day.  I miss them so much while they are at school, even though the quite time is nice so it is nice to have a few minutes with them during the day. 
I managed to get some things on eBay and a paper almost written too.  I also had a ton of laundry to do.  In fact I am going to finish it and then go to bed. 
Both boys had games tonight.  John Michael's team won and Danny's lost.  Both boys played amazing! 

Well, I am off to bed.  I am SO tired!  Peace out people!  Love and Prayers headed your way.  By the way tummy still not right, which makes me slightly sad.  I do not have time to not feel 100%. 

Windows and Doors

So today was a great day.  It started a little slow but for a dreary Monday morning I was pretty proud.  We were on time so all is well.
I managed to get all of the laundry caught up today which was a huge load off my plate!  Now if I can keep it up I will be extatic. This week is going to be hectic so I am determined.  We will see if everything decides to be on my side. 
I also managed to get about 30 items on eBay while the boys were in school.  I have so many things to get listed and that list will just keep on growing so I have to get pretty structured on getting things done.   Hopefully most of it will sell, I have so many things that I have to get taken care of before we move and the extra cash would make it all possible.  Praying that it all works out.
The boys had great days at school which is always good news to my ears. 
We came home and they were super excited to see that I had gotten a few boxes.  They are relatively small, but they were perfect for trophies.  We have them packed up and ready to go.  It is awesome to see the boxes labeled and ready for the new house!  Hopefully we will be able to get a few more throughout the week. 
Brandon went by the house before he came to the ballpark and I am super excited to say that we had house wrap, windows and doors!  We are on our way folks!!!

John Michael had a baseball game so we headed out to get there.  They played great and won 21-3.  I was so proud of them all.  John Michael even got to play second for an inning and a half.  He was so excited!

Well, I hope that everyone has a great night!  Sweet dreams and know that you are in my prayers!

Baseball, Plumbers, and Parties

So the fact that we were up before seven and gone by eight and not back until nine....thirteen hours later means very little to the to do list that continues to grow.  It was an amazing day though and for that I am very thankful.  I am still feeling pretty queazy, I am not sure what is happening there, but I am determined to suck it up. 
This morning when we were getting ready and I was saying my prayers, I asked God to let the rain hold out and he did for this I am so super thankful.  Two whole days of rain for Mother's Day weekend would have been too much!
John Michael's game started us off.  It was a win for them, but definitely not one that came easily.  They were tied for a while and it was truly a great game.  I love to see everyone playing baseball!  I was proud of John Michael, he hit the ball great and he even got a hold of the ball once and got it in quick! 

Danny's game followed a couple of hours after John Michael's not enough time to go home, but we did manage to grab lunch.  I have stick to my gail...no money for the creepy consession stand guy.  Danny's team did great.  They won and I was so proud of them all.  Danny made an AMAZING catch!  I am so super proud of him.  He hit the ball awesome too! 

We have a pretty awesome announcement that we learned about today but we are going to wait to share.  And before everyone calls my mom, NO I am not going to announce a new baby!  It is about my baby though.  Just hold on and wait for it and I will share soon. 

We headed to gocheck on the new house and the plumber had been there.  He is not finished, but the upstairs showers and tubs are in.  I loved seeing my garden tub!  I have waited so long for one.  I cannot wait to get it in, wait I did that today!  I cannot wait to actually enjoy it though!  The  lines for the outside spickets were done, and well I just cannot wait it is so exciting to go by there and see progress.  Less than a week for the walk through and then it is sheetrock!  YAY!!!!! 

Well I am so excited and so exhausted.  I was fortunate enough to have a job tonight but it was for an awesome friend and her mom's suprise party.  It was so great to be around so many people who were in the mood to celebrate!  I love smiles and happy occassions!  Stay tuned to my facebook page or to the blog at http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ for more on that!

Now I am off to bed.  Showers for everyone and now almost everyone is asleep.  With seven minutes until Mother's Day I want to go to dreamland....I will be dreaming of the beach I need my toes in the sand. 

School Picture Day

So there are reasons to smile about school picture day for the boys and it is not because of the camera that comes out.  The boys (Well everyone) gets to dress out of uniform, which makes for some great grins!  It is funny how special these little things are to them all.

Danny had a game at Center Point at 6:00 and John Michael had a game at 6:00 at Clay.  I do not like it when I have to miss one of my boys' games.  Mom went to see Danny's and Brittany came to see John Michael. 

Danny's game was a great one from what I understand from my text updates!

John Michael's game was a great one too and John Michael ended up with the game ball, which absolutely made his day.  In fact it might have made his season!  He did great though and I was definitely proud of him! 

A Typical Saturday

Today started with John Michael's baseball game.  They did great, and I was so proud of them all.  They are a great little team, and I have to say while John Michael is not all star ready he is definitely improving and I am definitely super proud of him and how well he is doing.
After his game we headed to see Brittany and take some pictures of her for her prom.  She looked stunning.  Her dress was orange and with her tan it was the perfect color.  It fit her great.  She was just beautiful.  I went with her mom to her date's and then to the school where the limo was picking them up for even more pictures.  It was great and I was glad to be a small part of her very special day. 

Teresa took me back to the ballpark so I could catch the end of Danny's game.  He is another one who is really improving.  I am hoping that he is making enough of an impact to make All Stars, but who knows.  He really wants it and he is a great catcher.  We shall see I guess.

After Danny's game we headed to St. Francis for Marina and Mikael's wedding.  I cannot believe her big day is here.  The wedding was absolutely gorgeous!  She made a bride for the magazines in fact the whole wedding was fit for a magazine.  Absolutely wonderful and beautiful. 

Every time I go to a Catholic wedding I want to renew our vows and do it right this time!  Hopefully one day soon we can get that done.  We shall see.

Needless to say it was a day that went from early in the morning until late at night, but it was a great day!

Saturday

So getting out of the house was something that had to happen today for all of our sanity. 

The boys both had ball games.  Danny's team was definitely glad to have their catcher back.  John Michael's team was also glad to have him back on board. 

After John Michael's game his coach took the team to Dairy Queen.  Talk about fun and LOUD!  I love the DQ in Clay but it is Small and loud with a few people.  A team of 5 and 6 year old makes for  vey loud DQ!  It was a blast though and all of the kids had so much fun, which means the most to me!  Thanks again for John Michael's ice cream Coach Matt!

Brandon was working at Mom's before and in between games.  For anyone who thinks a tornado hits and thats it...well it is not the case at all. 

The boys and I went over there for a few minutes between the games.  We also discovered that the copper theives had struck.  Let me say something....You people who steal from anyone SUCK!  People who steal from people who have been through something like a tornado, suck does not even begin to describe it.  In fact, there is a special place in hell for you guys, and guys when it is too good for you!  I am so serious and remember what a BITCH it is when KARMA comes your way!

Suprise

This morning Brandon headed off to work so that he could be there by 6. The best part was he was home before 10! He only had to work a little over three hours today. When he hits 40 hours he is off and today that happened early! It was a great surprise for me and for the boys, who were out of school today for Holy Thursday. What I did not know was this was the first surprise today, there are more to come.

I had a photo shoot but thanks to the weather it seemed best to cancel it. I probably was for the best since it started raining around 10 and it was at 10:30. The bottom fell out, but soon after the sun came up which was nice. Since the clouds had been pretty heavy for the past 2 days seeing some sunshine was nice.

UPS came this afternoon and brought me a box from FTD florists. It was from my amazing husband of 9 years and 364 days, tomorrow is our 10 year anniversary. He has always known how to make me smile and today he definitely did that. There was a very cool purple vase and once I finally got to them, the most amazing roses I have ever seen. They are rainbow roses and they are gorgeous! I plan to photograph these babies everyday so stay tuned! Definitely the most gorgeous roses I have ever gotten! I love my man for so many reasons, and these just added to it.

The boys both had games tonight. John Michael at 6:00 and Danny at 7:30. Well, John Michael made it to the second inning and the game was called. The weather got nasty fast, but did not last too long. We ended up getting to come home pretty early which was nice. I love baseball, but tonight I was tired and really just wanted to be home with my three men, and well my roses ;)

So I am off to bed, tomorrow is a day off, but it is a day filled with stuff to do including somehow celebrating 10 amazing years!

Opening Day

Well like every Saturday I had to do a little work this morning and we ended up missing the opening day ceremonies. I do not think the boys cared though, it was not the big deal like it was last year so all was well and there were no fights about it. The biggest difference in opening day was the fact that this year the games were real season counting games. John Michael played at 2:00 and Danny at 2:00 and 4:00.

I missed Danny's first game so that I could see John Michael's. I watched the score, but Brandon was with him so he had a cheering squad, which is what I care the most about! They lost the first game 19-4 (I think) and the second game they won 11-10. I know that this one is right I watched it and it was a GREAT game. So proud of all the boys. My little catcher boy is really doing great!

John Michael's team won their game 13-2. They played amazing. John Michael got up to bat twice and hit the ball great both times and made it to second both times! YEAH!!! He was on it out in the field too. He has really grown a lot since last year. He even has a game face and he kept it on.

Monday I plan to go to the City of Clay to have a discussion about the A$@ who is running the concession stand. Stay tuned as I will update everyone after I say my peace.

The storms decided to head this way almost as soon as the games were over so we rushed home. It has thundered and lightened a lot but there has been very little rain. I guess that is just the way that it goes sometime.

Well, I am off too bed. Can you believe that March is over?

On A Roll

So this morning I started to feel a little more like myself. I woke up with energy and did not drag for half of the day. In fact before 6:30 I had gotten in a small workout, done a load of laundry, unloaded and reloaded and started the dishwasher, and hand washed the dishes that needed that extra care. I was actually feeling pretty good all day.

Thank you so much for hearing and answering my prayers. That is about all I can say. I have needed a turn around and I am hoping that this is it.

Baseball games were back on the calendar tonight and looks like they will be every night for the next few. Lots of laundry is what that means for momma. John Michael's team lost, but these boys get better every game. They are the youngest team in the league and they are truly doing their best. I am proud of them! I have been on teams that won them all, lost them all, and fell in the middle. I do not think that any one was more enjoyable than the others. SERIOUSLY!

I do have a few things to vent about so parents listen up! I am talking to you! There are several parents complaining about the lack of practice. There are several reasons that we have not practiced. 1. We have other responsibilities and are not paid to coach. 2. When we have held practices 4-6 kids of 12 show up. 3. The weather has not been the best and has yielded several possible practices. Now, if you think you can do better, please sign up and do so next year. Know that we have only a few boys who have ever played, of those half have only played rag ball, which if you did not know is not even a preparation for baseball. We also have 4, 4 year olds. We only have 3, 6 year olds. Here is the thing. You take an average 6 year old and put them against even the best 4 year old they will be outplayed.

Now I am done with that vent. Again, sorry, but I needed to get it out! If you would like to discuss this with me please do so...not on the bleachers. Get real and grow up, PLEASE!

Danny's team played amazing and they won. It was close for a while, too close for a while, but in the end they won! They all did really well. Congrats to all of the Yankees!

Well, I am exhausted. The boys have had their showers and baths, and are asleep. I am about to head that way myself. I will remember you all in my thoughts and prayers. Please remember Danny's class as they continue getting ready for their First Communion this coming Saturday! I cannot believe he is so big. Tomorrow he has Mass at school and it is the last Mass that he will ever attend without receiving Communion. WOW! That about sums up my emotions.

Cinco de Mayo

So today is Cinco de Mayo. Just in case you did not know.

It has been a hectic day, and one where I feel I spent more time in circles than I did anything. I am working on editing a lot of pictures from different things for different people and different reasons. I am making a dent though. My house is a complete disaster and I just cannot stay focused long enough to get anything done. I will get there though, there is just a lot happening, and this weekend is not looking any calmer. You would think no baseball would mean something, but that would be a big nope. It will all get done though, one way or another. I am trying to enjoy each day and not stress...baby steps! I have to say that this blog and making sure that I take a picture each day is helping.

I have Mrs. Hays' gift ready and in hand. Now to get it wrapped. It looks great and I am very pleased. I hope that she is too. Now to finish up Danny's Mrs. Hayes' gift but that will be next weekend as that is when they make their First Communion. I have a few things that I have to find to make it happen but I know that it will all come together.

Danny had a ball game tonight, John Michael did not, which meant we did not have to be at the ballpark from 5 until 10. Just kidding I really do like it. Anyway, they played the Tigers again, and tonight they won. My Dannyman had an amazing game. He is the catcher, for those of you who do not know, and he caught 2....2....foul pop flies! He hit every time he got up to bat! I was so so proud of him, especially for those catches. He has been working so hard to catch a foul, and tonight it paid off. YAY! The picture is part of the celebration after the catch!

Anyway, we are home they have had showers and baths and are now in bed. Now I am off to bed. Danny wants to be at school early in the morning because they are going to be doing something with the summer birthdays and he is pretty pumped. He has to be there by 7:40 so he wants to be in the parking lot by 7:20. I will make it happen. Please know that my prayers always include you all. There are so many things that I talk to God about every night and not once do I leave all of you out. We all have needs and wants and whether you have asked for them or not prayers are the one thing that I can and do give to you all.

April is Gone?!

It is really hard to believe that April has come and gone. I cannot believe that we have passed 4 months already in 2011. WOW is about all I can say.

I have decided to use my photography business to help the victims of the tornadoes that ripped through the state on April 27. I will be donating all my profits to these victims. I will also give a free session to all people who were affected. I wish that I could do more, but I have nothing extra to give monetarily, but I can give what I make to those who need it more than I do. Towns are gone and I hope that I can do something to help them rebuild.

We were going to take some of our cub scouts down to help tomorrow, but we will be waiting until next weekend when we can plan a little more at our upcoming meetings. I am not sure if we will take donations of items or if we will be taking donations of money and purchasing food to take to everyone. Hot dogs, or sandwiches, or something of that nature. Something that the boys could take down and pass out to help people. Stay tuned to my blog as I announce when and where we will collect and what we will be collecting.

Both boys had games today. John Michael played Pinson at Clay and Danny played Pinson at Pinson. Now let the rant begin. John Michael's team lost, but Brandon said fielding they had down, but they could not hit. Hopefully we will get it all together soon and these boys can get a win under them. Danny's team lost, but it was such a crooked game. The umpires at Pinson are anything but fair. They obviously are in need of glasses and a reminder that they are paid to be fair. It was seriously nuts. The ballpark was about run down and it is sad since it is not that old...the bathroom well let's not even go there. The water was brown...seriously brown! Scary stuff. I was just glad to go home. Looking forward to playing at Clay next week. I hated that I had to miss John Michael he got a hit and made it to base! Anyway, sorry I needed to vent for a few minutes.

We came home and watered the plants and played outside for a while then came in and ate and then Brandon went to cut his hair. The boys decided that they wanted their hair cut too and well it is SHORT! Brandon did not change the guards. They like it an fortunately it will grow back. ;)

Now I am headed to bed! I am praying for all of my friends and family as well as the tornado victims. I heard tonight that 11 tornadoes have been confirmed to have hit down. One stayed on the ground from state line to state line. It is absolutely devastating.

A little Late...

So we came home from the ballpark last night and got the boys ready for bed, and while getting them to sleep I also passed out, so I am a little late with the blog, but this is for Tuesday.

Both boys had ballgames tonight. John Michael's team lost, but they were playing much better by the end of the game. It had been a week since they had played and they were playing the best team. We have a mom on the team though, that is on my last nerve. She is all about winning and her son being amazing, well I am telling the world now, he is not! We spend more time calling his name and attempting to get him to behave. Of course when I tell his parents something they do not listen, so why it would be any different with him. Anyway, we have an amazing group of boys, who truly have FUN!

Danny and his team won. It was a great game and all of the boys seemed to be mark on. They have a boy on their team who has never played, and he did amazing!

Well, I know that this is short, but what can I say I am concerned about the weather. The picture is of one of our Hibiscus bushes. Amazing flowers that bloomed on Tuesday!

I prayed for all of you last night, as I do every night. Hopefully I will have power and be on top of the blog tonight!

New Clothes and Baseball

No, I did not get new clothes, but it would be nice to have some in my closet. Oh well. Danny got his First Communion/Easter outfit, and let me just tell you my baby boy looks good in it! The first feat was finding one and the second was it fitting. SCORE! John Michael also got an Easter outfit. It is so cute and again it fit! TWO! They also got dress shoes. John Michael's fit, Danny's did not so I will be taking those back tomorrow and hoping that they have another pair that will work. He is at such a strange size! Now I still have to tell you I have no idea what Brandon and I will wear, but we will make something in our closets work.

Both boys had games tonight. John Michael's team lost, but the boys seemed to have a good time out there which is what matters. We are hoping to have a mandatory practice next Monday, but we will see if the fields are available. BTW, John Michael was catching and he actually seemed to do much better tonight. I guess he is following in his big brothers footsteps!

Danny's team won and it was an awesome game!

Well, we are home. Easter party with John Michael's class tomorrow so expect an update soon! I am headed to bed very soon. I am exhausted and these boys have to get to sleep or it is going to be a rough morning tomorrow. I will remember you all in my thoughts and prayers tonight. Please pray for one of my mom's best friends, and a woman who I love dearly, she lost her brother this morning. Thank you all!

Busy but Definitely Great Saturday

This morning Brandon and I each took a boy and started the day. We met up shortly before lunch and then the rest of the day was spent together.

Brandon took John Michael and they headed to the ballpark. Brandon had to be at the park for Danny's team pictures since he is an assistant coach, and then they went to breakfast and headed back to the park for John Michael's team pictures, where Brandon is the head coach.

Danny had his First Communion workshop this morning. He missed his team pictures, but it is all good his momma is a photographer so she will get one before the season is over. We also missed the first half of his game but we made it for the last two innings. He said that he really enjoyed the workshop and wanted to know if the wine would taste better when it was turned into the blood of Jesus. I had to be honest with him. He was not too thrilled about that but that was it. He said that he is excited about this Sacrament and cannot wait to make it. Three more weeks. Danny's team won their game, it was a great game from what I saw of it anyway. I am just so glad that they won and I know that they are too. They will practice tomorrow from 3-5.

John Michael's team had yet another loss. The boys are getting frustrated and it is getting to Brandon. They are getting better every game and most of them could care less if they win as long as they hit the ball or catch the ball. Hopefully we will win one soon. I know that they deserve it. They are doing great though and I am proud of all of them. By the way John Michael hit a double! We are hoping to have practice tomorrow for these guys too!

After the park we came home and got ready and went to the movies. We went to the Edge in Irondale. The last time I was there was with Brandon and we saw Titanic...that was a long time ago! We saw Hop tonight and it was so cute. Definitely not a disappointment. The theater looks great and we all had a great time!

Well, now we are all exhausted and headed to bed. We have only been home about 10 minutes. It was a great family day! Before I go to bed I will say a prayer for all of my family and friends. I also have a prayer request for my brother in law. He is going out of the country tomorrow for a few weeks and I am asking everyone to pray for his wife and three boys while he is gone and for his safety while away and for a safe return. Thanks everyone.

Baseball and Date Night

We had an early start this morning. John Michael had a game at 9:30, which meant the team would be there at 9, which meant we needed to be there before and we made it! The game went great, they lost 6-8, but they had fun. John Michael finally caught the ball, which was a super exciting moment, he did not even care that it went straight to first base so the guy easily got him out. He just cared that he had a good time and hit the ball. YAY!

Danny had a game at 1:30, so batting cages at 12:30. This is something we are considering doing for our boys too. A little warm up time before game time. Anyway. They did amazing! Danny caught so he was happy, but tired when it was over. He is a good catcher, and will get better! I am so glad that he has found a position where he can grow. They won 11-13 (I think). I know they won, just not 100% on the score.

Anyway. I was glad for a Saturday game so I could get some good pictures, I could during the week, but I worry that the flash is something that would do harm so I have not gotten many. We might try for a few this week!

Now, the boys are at Nana's and Brandon and I have planned a date night for our anniversary. We were going to go out to eat and possibly movie, but now we have opted to order pizza and watch a movie at home. And enjoy a few adult beverages!

I hope that everyone has a great Saturday night, no matter what your plans are. I will say a prayer for all of my family and friends. Baseball and Mass tomorrow so we will be up and out early but it will be a wonderful day just like today! With weather like we are having get out and enjoy it most definitely. I even worked on my tan some....well, my ballpark tan. Shorts, shortsleeves and YellowBox lines, just the way that I like it ;)

What do Weddings and Baseball have in Common?

Monica, Danny and John Michael is the correct answer!

This morning started early and with little arguing from the boys about having to get up. Only because John Michael was so excited about Q and U finally getting married. Danny was excited about checking out to go to see the wedding.

I stayed the day with John Michael and the 4K classes to take pictures and help everyone get ready for the big day. They were some very excited boys and girls! They have worked so hard and today it was all going to pay off.

The wedding was perfect! The boys and girls did great and I will be adding a Q and U wedding to my photography portfolio, which in itself is unique! I am very excited about getting to work on these pictures! They are so cute! The girls looked beautiful, the boys handsome! I am so thankful that I was able to be a part of the day for John Michael and for the teachers who have worked so hard. Stay tuned for a lot of pictures people, they are coming!

After the wedding we came home and started on homework and getting ready for baseball. Both boys played, one at 6 the other at 7:3o.

John Michael's game was at 6 and since Brandon had to work late I was the coach and I have to admit it was a lot of fun. For 6 innings we were 1 and 1, we went into one OT inning, the 7th and ended up losing 2-3, but the boys did great! I was so proud of them all!

Danny's game was at 7:30 and they all did great too. They did lose though, which broke Danny's heart he wanted to be undefeated, but I assured him that was something that was easier said that done. He was a good sport and said that they would just have to play better next time, which is Saturday!

All this said I am just now getting to bed and I am pooped to say the very least. Tomorrow morning I have a product shots photo shoot, then to get Danny, and then a prom photo shoot. I am very excited. I love the fact that my career has become something that I truly love doing!

Before I go to sleep I will say a prayer for all of my friends and family. You are all amazing people and I hope that you know that. So many times as I have learned we are so busy with everything that we do not enjoy anything. This is something I am not doing anymore. I am truly going to love life and everyday that I am blessed with. I am loving living life and I hope that you are too!
