Time

My life is flying by and the time is running so fast that I can't keep up with all the things that I want to do.  It's probably most likely just laziness with not being able to get things done but I still blame time.  I'm just so tired after work, before work, that I just don't want to do anything when I get home. 

Luckily though this week I have off so I will be able to get things done.  I get to actually clean my house and actually clean!!  I am going to do my first actual purge of this year this week.  Going through everything in the house and getting rid of all the things that we don't use anymore.  It will be so nice to not have the feeling of being cluttered and closed in.

It will be a fun time. 

I'm looking forward to getting my house clean after almost a year of just glossing over things.  I might even be inclined to take pictures after I clean everything up. 

Backyard

Well this is it.  It's the year of actually working in and around our house!!  It has been a crazy two years.  Last year going on so many trips though was extremely fun but we didn't actually do anything around the house.  This year though I have it all planned out.  Bill and I have the week off and we have already started work.  Bill finished our rock wall for our raised flower bed (pictures to come later).  Next, we are moving to the inside to the living room (because of the weather) and we are going to work on our walls.  Finally getting them back to being real walls, textured and painted.  Then the next step will be to put up the mantel that my dad made for us then the living room will be complete.  I don't care if it's actually gets done this week just as long as we make some progress on the house.  Pictures to come soon of all the projects that we have going on. Right now though I'm relaxing on the couch.

Oh Canada, Oh Canada

My Birthday Trip

Last year I was in Japan on my birthday and since then I decided that I was going to be out of the country on every birthday from now on!!!!  Granted it will be a lot of trips to Canada but that's quite alright. There is so much to do up there that it is completely fine with me!! 

Our trip was fabulous!!  So much fun that weekend.  However it would have been better if we stayed longer but it was still great.  We went to Vancouver BC, found an awesome sports bar with deep fried oreos (absolutely to die for), Mt Whistler, Shannon Falls, then back home!  Till next year (also Canada)!!

On our way to Canada!!!

Week 25

Week 25

 

27 Miles

 

(26 Miles Since Last Log In)

 

169 Miles = 196 Miles to Go

 

Yes I know a day early then usual and yes 10 weeks have passed since I have last logged in.  Bill and I stopped working out in the morning because it was getting just so darn hard getting up in the morning at 4:30am every day.  I was slightly at a loss of what to do when working out so I just stopped unfortunately.  I took a 4 week period off.  I'm happy though that a friend asked if I wanted to work out a few days a week.  That was fortunate because I got me back on the right track.  This week I walked 6 miles on Monday, 8 miles on Tuesday, 7 miles on Wednesday, and 6 miles on Saturday.  27 Miles!!!  What a great week!!!

Week 15

Week 13 and 14

 

11 Miles

 

107 Miles = 258 Miles To Go

 

These last few weeks were hard to get through.  Just didn't feel like walking at all.  However, I was only short 3 miles so I think that it was still good.  I'm just plugging along.

My First Photography Gig

The Cake

 

 The Bride

The Couple

 

I am so happy that I was able to have my first wedding/photography gig.  It was actually unexpected.  I told the mother of the groom that I was going to bring my camera and take some pictures of the wedding.  Soon enough I was told the day before the wedding that I was the photographer.  I was surprised needless to say and extremely anxious, fearful, and excited.  I just couldn't believe it!!  I am extremely pleased to say that some of my pictures were awesome, some were great, some were alright, and some were awful (those I deleted).  I had so much fun though and I loved being able to do it and have that experience!!!  Congratulations to them and I was so happy to be apart of the wedding.
