Refocus...

I have been finding myself on a lot of real estate sites looking at property on the islands. I love doing this. It gets me hyped up for work and it makes me remember why we are in this crappy townhome (still!!) It prevents me from spending money since every penny I have spending makes me think that it's just something that we are going to have to pay to move.

The true set-in-stone plan is that we will move to FL for a few years, potentially up to 10 years, and then off to the islands. I get really excited every time I think about it.

Now off to shower and head in to the job I hate....

120MPH

What's better then being blasted with such force that you reach 120MPH in less then 4 seconds to be taken STRAIGHT up over 400 feet in the air?

Coming straight back down at the same force, or course!

Check out where Nate, my MIL, and I just came home from...

www.cedarpoint.com

and we waited over 2 hours to ride that 17 second coaster of Top Thrill Dragster. Awesome.

Off to pick Ty up. It's my birthday. I am officially 21, with 7 years experience. ;)

$79.50 an hour!

I just had a proofing session with a senior and her parents and they placed an order that makes my profit $79.50 an hour for working! Woohoo! Basically...off that ONE session I can pay my 2 weeks contribution to the bills. And I have another proofing session early next week too!!! I am loving senior picture time. :)

Awesome Wedding

Nate and I spend yesterday shooting an awesome wedding. And the best thing about it was that the bride was a great friend of mine in high school, so it was also like a mini reunion for me too. There were about 6 people that I haven't seen in AGES as well as my old english teacher. It was such a challenge because the ceremony was outside at 8:30. The lighting was tiki torches and SMALL candles. But the result of our efforts was amazing. I swear every wedding I do the pics just keep getting better and better.

The ceremony was at the residence of the bride and groom. It was tucked off of Liberty road in randallstown, totally not where you would expect a 150 year old vinyard complete with a concrete underground cellar what was transformed into a old italian / sicilian style winery filled to the bring with a display of wine bottles and lit with candles galore! Nate spend the better part of the afternoon sweating his butt off taking the best pics I have ever seen down there!

And today was the all day picnic reception. It was just wonderful. I am pooped. Going to bed now...

Note to self:

It's not a good idea to pick on the food that the banquet servers brought in from the 95 degree outside heat that had been sitting for 3 hours the night before a contracted wedding.

Ugh....I was up ALL night.

Sorry I have been lacking here. I have been working 3 jobs that seem to amount to not even close to enough money. All my available time has been used looking for a job or going on interviews.

I am starting to appreciate my $11.50h job at the country club a bit more now though.

Pics are GREAT!

Baby Kelsi is adorable!

I have had such a busy day today, but I will close it out with a post.

It seems that my MIL WILL be moving with us. After much thought and deliberation we are pretty positive that she will join us on our adventurous move and I cannot be happier about the decision. I just spend the last 2 1/2 hours on the phone with her and I am so jazzed right now...even thought I should be sleeping. (I have to work at 9am at the JCC)

I will be helping her select and consult an attorney for her divorce. I feel priviliged that she is asking me for my help in this very personal situation. It not that she isn't strong enough to do it on her own...but I am sure she figured that if someone has "been their, done that, and then burned the tee shirt" they could help her out with some experience and dare I say expertise, then so be it.

Okay, I need sleep now. Bed is calling...

Living the dream: What goes around comes around. That's so profound. (Hey, that rhymes! Yeah, it's REALLY time for bed.)

Yeah Baby!

My friend had her baby last night! A baby girl...and I was one of the first people that they called so I could come in and take pics of the baby! Off to Carroll Hospital Center before I pick Ty up for the week. This was SUCH perfect timing. She wasn't due until July 2nd, but she had other plans :)
