Oh yes, how could i forget. I did a favor for my husbands good friend and I took pics of this girl he knows (Tianna). Shes an aspiring model and has been on mtv. She need pics for her portfolio and for the contest she wanted to enter. Can you believe it?? Tianna was picked as a semifinalist. Now all she needs are votes. I think i voted 4 times. LOL. Hope she makes it to the finals.

"Cleanliness is next to Godliness."

I can't believe this week is almost coming to an end. :(. But I really can't complain, its been a great week. The house is finally spotless. I was even able to clean the walls. Now I can really concentrate on putting pictures up on the walls and decorate our hallway like a gallery. I can't wait!!
My girlfriend from ATL came to visit with her husband and daughter. Keliah is so big now. She will be four in MAY! This afternoon I will being taking a family portrait of them. I pray it goes very well. :)
And finally, we were so blessed to have the girls here this week. They are so childish, in a good way. They are still innocent. In this day in age teenagers are exposed to so much, sex, violence, etc. But these girls still like dolls. LOL. And act just their age. Thank you Jesus. :) I will miss them. :(

Ok today was a good day. I got a lot of things done. I was able to do laundry, clean up the office, finish my cousin's bridal shower invitations and do a test hairdo run forher. I am supposed to do her hair for the big day!! It didnt come out that great, but I know what i have to do to get it right. The reasons I was able to get a lot of things done are (1) I had a great morning reading my devotional and spending time with my Creator. (2)I have my girls over for the week. Mel and Astri. Rodney and I take them in for the summer and on breaks. They are fourteen and fifteen beautiful young ladies. Silly and fun girls. Rodney and I call them our lil daughters. Rodney can't wait to have kids, but I can. LOL.

my cousins bridal shower invitations. Thanks Val for helping me fix the font work in the back. :)

Finally!!!!!!! I sat down and did a layout. It's been a while and it took me about 4 hours, but I finished it. I had time since today my april vacation starts. I have a full week off. Thank you Jesus!! ::jumping up and down:: LOL. I know i have a lot to do this week, but at least I dont have to go to work (day job). I think I'm actually going to bed a little early today.... NAHHHHH. lol. maybe I should.

"I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety." Psalm 4:8

Sometimes i wonder if i get enough of it. Rest! I know I don't. How do I know you ask? Well I'm still on the computer. LOL. This is something that I have been restling with. Sleep! I tell myself every day that i will go to bed early and each day I go to be later and later. Then I wonder why I am so grouchy in the morning and I'm biting my poor husbands head off. Then theres the migraines, how I love them. For once, I just want my body to shut down at a decent hour. I'm done venting now, hopefully I can go to sleep now. LOL.

Thank you Lord. Finally done with Donna's order. I feel so bad that i'm a month late. But i hope she likes her pics. Goodnight, I have been on here all day.

just a little something for today, since i haven't blogged in a couple of days. First i've been busy with orders and touching up pics. Second I fell on my arm and sprained it, not so fun. LOL. but besides that i'm coping. I'm excited because I took pics for this one female. She used the pictures to enter a contest and she was chosen as a semi finalist. Thats so cool.
I want to thank Val, Tosha, and Lisa for helping me critic photos and that little dilema with release forms. Thank you Ladies, I'm blessed to know you! :) Well I guess I will be going to work tomorrow depending on how I feel. Better dayz are coming. I'm just so tired right now, I need a vacation. Speaking of Vacations, I'm praying that my mom has a safe trip. She departs tomorrow to Dominican Republic for a whole month! She deserves it. And she's feeling much better. Thank you Lord!!

I was on my way to class today and i saw a bucket on tree that said "do not distrub." I then noticed that tree was being sapped. I was so intrigued to know why this fluid flows from trees. So i googled! I came to find out that sap is a fluid inside a plant that carries food and water to different parts of the tree and is critical for its growth. Sap outside of a tree is usually a sign of "injuries, imperfections, on the surface of the bark," or insect attacks and infections. I just marveled at God his and magnificance! How his creations mirror each other. I say that because we as humans at times are tree being sapped or just have the sap falling down on us. The sap is like our tears. We cry when we are sick, injured our when we are hurt. That's a sign that something is not right or doesnt feel right, an imperfection. But the great thing is that the sap from trees can be used to make latex, rubber, to repair things and my favorite to make SYRUP!!! How sweet is that!! This lets me know that God can use my tears of hurt, sadness or sickness to help others. To make my life sweeter!! The things that we go through in life happen so that no only we can grow, but others who see our "SAP" can also grow.

I recieved my NEW CAMERA today!!!!!!!!!! I was so excited, like a kid at a candy store. Of course I ran out to buy a CF Memory Card. I purchased a 1GB, and then I went to shoot everything in site. :) After a while I got a little stressed, since there are so many buttons and settings. I need to learn all this technical stuff. But I feel blessed that I finally will look profession (camera wise) when I go shoot a session. AHHHHH Yes, another milestone. :)

How do i get myself into so many PRojects!! Thank God, i'm done with this 7 page paper for my Masters class. I've been out of school for 5 years and this is really kicking my butt. But I'm finally done. Now I ONLY have to finish cleaning up pics and put in the order (which i'm 2 weeks late on), make my cousins wedding and bridal shower invites, clean my house, and pray that my Camera gets here SOON! I didn't know what it entailed when i entertained my PASSION. I have been getting so many calls to do weddings and i haven't done my first one yet. Which will be in July. ;) i'm so tired so im going to bed now. Night Bloggers. :)

People go through so many things in life. And some unfortunately have to face it alone, but others are blessed to have family and friends who can encourage and show support when times are rough. I know that God does not give you more than you can bear. I just pray that my cousin can get through this tough time in her life. And i want to be able to be there for her to show her love and support. Thats what we're here for. "Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY cometh in the morning time." Psalm 30:5

I was talking to Lisa yesterday and as I looked at her site today... A question came to mind. I doodle alot. and i have a bunch of saved little pieces of paper of images. I was wondering if there is a way to get it onto my computer. Do i have to scan it? Or can I use the wacom? how, what? If anyone is listening (reading) please let me know. :)

I'm soooooooooooo excited!! I love my fam and my husband. They all put in money towards my "i need a new camera" fund. LOL. It's being sent as i type. Thank you Jesus!!

Just got inspired to make a LO about my mom. Shes so strong especially as she deals with this Thyroid issue. She never ceases to amaze me. I pray that I have an ounce of her strength, courage, and wisdom when i have children. I love you mom!!!

Happy Birthday to me. LOL. Yesterday was my birthday. I had a pretty good day, besides the little headache. My hubby was so gracious enough to take a mini shoot for me. I'm blessed to see another day of life. There are so many things that i want to accomplish especially with my photography, i pray that these things work out for me.

My girl Ronalyn inspired me to do something with my pics and i did. Thank you girl. You are so Bombs. LOL

I was just playing around with my dads canon powershot today. And i took some shot of my dolls. LOL. They are My Scene Barbies. I started collecting them about 2 years ago and as you can see, I only have two. Thats an expensive hobby. LOL.

my first LO in a long time. i was feeling moody and could compare my mood swings to that of a feline.

Thank you God! It meant alot to me to spend time with my mom this weekend. I'm blessed to have family and friends that support me. Wendy & Rodney are truly heaven sent. A wonderful husband and a great best friend. It was relaxing to see my mom feeling a little better and to be able to have all of us in the house surrounding her with love. Lord continue keep her in your safe haven.
