Thursday Thankfuls

Even though life here seems to be as crazy as ever and the time flies to quickly, I have so much to be thankful for. On a day to day basis I don't stop to think about it, but today is the day to reflect on those things that you are truly grateful for in your life.

1. I am so thankful that after 10 years of not going to church and not living my life through Jesus, that we have decided to start attending church and teaching our children the right way to live. We have a long way to go but we are definitely on the right track.

2. I am thankful for my husband for being ever so patient with me in the last few weeks, while I study photography and teach myself photo editing. Ive been up many late nights while he watches TV alone until he falls asleep. He keeps encouraging me and believes in all that I do.

3. I am so thankful for my children they are my heart. I really don't know what I would do without them.

4. I am thankful for all my family and I have alot!

5. I am thankful for every ones health and that my Nana is here another year to celebrate with us. Because Thanksgiving week 4 years ago she had surgery to remove colon cancer and we didn't know if she would make it...She is doing great!!!

6. I am thankful that even though I don't have a paying job...that the Lord has blessed us to keep paying our bills, putting food on our table, a roof over our heads and a full tank of gas. The rest will come in time. (Its not forever just for now,the part about not having a paying job)

7. I am so thankful for my friends. Each and everyone is special to me in some way and I love them all, even if I don't get to spend as much time with them as I would like.

Well I think I have went on enough, I am thankful for alot more, but I would be here all day and I have to get packed to go to GA this afternoon. We will be spending the rest of our holiday weekend there with my Mom, Pop, Jeremy, Kiley, Katie, Savannah, Mandi, Bubba and Kiley's mom Mrs. Julie. The guys will be hunting in the woods and us girls might be hunting for sales and pecans! Oh and I have a photography shoot scheduled for up there also!

BTW I started a new blog with my photography pics, I will keep this one as personal and the other to post pics on. Check it often as I will be updating it with all my latest shots.

It Finally Got Me & New Photos

The same virus bug that has been circulating around finally got me yesterday...Right in the middle of a very busy week for me...I'm feeling better today, just a little weak and tired. I just have to put everything in perspective and hopefully I will get it all done...

I have 3 photo shoots to edit and a yard sale to get ready for. Not to mention trying to decide if we are in fact going to GA for Thanksgiving and we have had another issue on our minds & hearts but at this time I cant really say anything about but maybe later when the time is right. So needless to say we have been terribly busy and I really did not have time to get sick!

I'm so excited, I have had 4 photo shoots in the last week and I have 2 more coming up in the next week. 2 shoots are edited and I'm working on the rest. I'm going to be starting either a new blog page for just my photos or a regular photo page...but when its up and running I will put a link on this page so everyone can visit it too. If you or anyone you know is looking for someone to take photos give them my page link or email me directly skishy25@aol.com I will do any type of photos maternity, family, children, babies, engagement, wedding or events.

Here are a few from this past week, I will have more soon! Hopefully the quality comes out ok, I compressed them for quick upload...let me know if they look distorted.

This is my cousin's baby Cali-

This is Amanda & James taken at Venetian Gardens in Leesburg. We will be taking indoors pics soon.

Not Me! Monday

Since everyone missed my Not Me Monday last week, I knew I had to do one this week...but its going to be quick and short this week...I have to be at the school in 45 minutes!!!

*I did not forget to put sugar in the tea and make Larry his bottles for his lunch...only for him to wake me up to say " I think you forgot to add sugar to my tea"...

*I do not have a wonderful Mom & Sister who writes me the most beautiful notes to me in my birthday cards, that I cant read until I'm alone because they make me cry.

*I also don't have a great family who I love and adore so much!

*I did not go from this hair style....

to this hair style in 3 hours (BTW that's my best friend Rhonda of almost 20 years!)
*I did not sing karaoke with my friends for the first time in my life "Ice Ice Baby" at that!!!

Hope you all enjoyed my very short Not Me Monday!!! See Ya next week!
