Lighting and Lightening

So it is becoming the norm around Birmingham, Monday means storms. From the looks of everything all is well outside, with the exception of Danny's basketball goal. The backboard broke in the wind. He is not going to be happy when he sees it. I am hoping that we can find another backboard for a reasonable price or that Brandon can get creative and fix it up. So definitely do not need any more financial issues.

Thank you all who prayed for my mom. Her tests came back and everything looks good for now. The doctor is going to check hr every 6 months. Our prayers were definitely answered, thank you all again.

So Brandon got me 2 light kits for my birthday, and I finally got them out of the box. Well, he helped. I am so excited and cannot wait to use them. They have the soft box or the umbrella options. I am so excited. Growing this business has truly been a blessing and with new equipment it means more growth potential.

I also got a corner curio cabinet. I have needed one for a while. I collect wine glasses and it is time to get them out and put them where they can be seen and maybe even used. Now I have somewhere for them. YAY! I will be working on getting them out of boxes this week. Brandon had a blast putting it together. Puzzle piece furniture as he referred to it, but he did a great job and I really like it more than I thought would.

I have put another class behind me. YAY! I have 7 days off as my next class does not start until next Tuesday, but that just means I have 7 days to get a lot done. I know that I can do it, it just means focus and energy. If anyone wants to donate to my home organization fund let me know. I am ready to know where it all is and get rid of it. When I see my BFF Amy I am sending her home with some serious baking items! They need to be used and she is amazing so I know that they will feel more welcomed there with her!

Well, I am off to bed. Before I go to sleep I will say a special prayer for all of my family and friends. I hope that everyone made it through the storms with no damage. Weather always has and probably always will amaze me. I know what it can do especially with winds like we had tonight.

Early Birthday Gifts

Who doesn't like a surprises every now and then? Brandon and I gave each other things for our business for our birthday. Of course that means that the tax refund is gone, but if we can start making some extra money it will all be worth it.

Brandon's video camera, and all his necessary gadgets came in yesterday. He charged the batteries and all that jazz today.

Well he surprised me with a HUGE box and inside was 2 complete light kits! I am super pumped. Learning more about lighting is something I have been wanting to do and now I can. I cannot wait to play with it all. I would have today but today was about house obstacles.

On our way to school this morning Danny had an asthma attack. Usually they are not too bad, and he can still go to school, but this one was rough so we came on home and he laid around all morning. I talked to his doctor and hopefully he is going to be okay. This is going to be a rough season I think. Praying that my boy gets some relief soon!

Well, we had a plumber out today. He had to replace the regulator valve, but the water heater just seemed to be too much for him. Well, he did not have what we wanted and what he had...which was lower grade than what we wanted was going to cost WAY too much, so we went on a water heater hunt. The goal was to go tankless, but the fact that we are electric and do not even have as running to the house seems to be a very unusual thing. Since nobody had them in stock or even knew much about them we decided to stick with a tank instead of being the test dummies for electric tankless water heaters. We did upgrade though to a Hybrid version and I am excited. Tax write off for 2011 and it should save us some on our bill, which is always nice. Now to install it tomorrow. While I am off doing photos at a first birthday party Brandon will work on it. Hopefully I come home to hot water! Update will come tomorrow! Stay tuned for more.

We have baseball tryouts in the morning, so we are headed to bed. I just wish it was earlier. I am pooped! Before I go to bed I will remember all of my friends and family in my prayers. I hope that everyone has an amazing weekend.
