Just Another Sunday!!

Another Sunday night, which means another week has passed us. Currently having the "set it and forget it" mentality as I upload pictures to my flickr web site. Because I'm uploading over 100 photos, it's going to take awhile.

After a difficult Friday&Saturday I'm glad that the work weekend is over. Thank goodness for Dayquil seeing as it's made me feel 100% better. Let me just tell you, having a horrible cold is bad enough, but tack on a massive migraine and tell me how you feel! Grateful to be feeling better!

As my photos continue to upload I keep glancing at a new of my favorite ones. I'm glad I'm getting over this "fear". As I look back on some things, I realized I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have. I was blessed with an opportunity to go to Italy and France in 2006. I look back on my photos and realize I didn't nearly take enough. Than again, I didn't have the knowledge of photos and all the fun and cool tricks you could do. But, as in life, you learn from your past. So I'm doing my best to take more pictures and capture priceless memories. I look forward to so many more good days like today's was. It was beautiful weather and it was a day I needed after a very long work weekend.

Here are some photos from today.. mind you, I took over 100 pictures and Chris took way more than I did!!







Guess it's time to prepare for another week of work, school, and fun. Have a great night everyone!

Where Were You Ref's?

Just Some Pictures Taken Today




Tuesday

Lots to look forward to and also lots of school work that needs to be done. I have one 5 page paper that's due in a month, as well as this HUGE crime scene investigation project that's due in a month. I know I keep saying this over and over again, but time is flying. I got these projects to do on the first day of the semester and before I knew it, 2 months have come and gone.

Now that Halloween has past, there is thanksgiving to look forward to. I'd say thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday. Great food and you spend time with family and friends without the stress of what gift to purchase and how much money to spend. Which reminds me, I guess I should start my Christmas shopping soon.

All the leaves are beginning to fall, which only tells me I was too late at getting some pictures I had really wanted. But with the leaves falling it gives me a lot of inspiration for some great shots I can take. So, with that I'll be hitting the road and taking Abby with me. Cheesequake park sounds like a good place to start!

Time for class number 2. Atleast the day is going by fast!!

Happy November

Happy November. Halloween has come and gone, and surprisingly it was really warm out. I got to see my favorite people on Halloween(they looked so cute!) and of course give out candy to all the trick or treaters. Maybe it's me, but it seems every year, the crowd gets smaller and smaller. Which of course, leaves more leftover candy. As you can tell from the picture I posted earlier, my house has tons of left over candy!

The clocks went back and normally I'm excited beyond belief to get that "extra hour." This year I wasn't so happy. I found myself wide awake at 8am this morning, which means 7am before the clocks went back. What did I do for the morning? Well I grabbed my camera and took pictures. That's one thing I'm glad I did. Get the SLR camera. It's something Chris and I can do for fun together. He's teaching me the ropes and all the books and research I've been doing is helping as well. I was intimidated with taking pictures at first, but I'm slowly getting there. So, get ready for more and more pictures as the months pass by!

Tomorrow another long week of class starts. I have my countdown going until this semester is over: 7 weeks. 7 very LONG weeks. I'd love to have a month and a half off for winter break, but school comes first so I am registered for an online computer class. I'll be able to work a lot(I could use the money) and yet be able to get this class out of the way. I do my best to take one day at a time, but my mind always wonders to weeks and even months ahead. In fact, the first day of classes I was already worrying about classes to take 4 months from than. I'm both a worrier and a planner. Sure, plans don't ALWAYS work out as I hope, but that's okay. I like to have things to look forward to. One of the things I look forward to is graduating, and on time! So much will happen once I graduate I'm actually a bit nervous. Not having class to go to, and looking for a steady job with benefits(until I hopefully become a police officer), not to mention paying more than the 3-4 bills I have now will be nerve wracking, yet exciting at the same time. It will be a new adventure in my life, one that I'm looking forward too. The best part about it all is the support I'll have. It's nice to have the special someone by your side every step of the way.


Time to get ready for bed. Up early tomorrow. G'night all!
