A New Direction

Still excited about staying healthy and keeping the pregnancy weight gain to a minimum. But recently I've gotten very passionate about something new: photography. I started taking classes in high school and some in college. I worked at a school photography company for 2 years. I just never took the plunge and spent my money on a nice camera. I just put everything on hold when I got married.

When I worked at the credit union, there was a girl that I worked with. She was barely graduated, and barely married. 18 years old, trying to have a baby, ended up with twin boys. Right after I had Andrew, I decided to stay at home, and hadn't heard from my coworker in over 3 years.

We met up again on Facebook, and I found out that she had started doing some photography and even had her own business going. I was a tiny bit jealous, but mostly I thought, "Good for her! That's awesome! I wonder how she got that started with 2 little toddlers? And I haven't done anything in the same amount of time." I kind of filed that away for a while, made some goals to get the camera I wanted and started planning out the business I wanted to start. Almost 2 years later I finally have a nice enough camera to get things started. Bobby even bought me Lightroom for our anniversary (it's a smaller version of Photoshop) and he got me another lens for Mother's day. I'm finally taking the steps I need in order to make this dream a reality and I'm still working off of this excitement high. I'm hoping that by September, this business will be up and running and hopefully off to a great start!
