It is time...

I have decided it is time for me to return to the blogging world. I have too many thoughts that I need to write down somewhere and I've learned that paper is no good. You see, what you put on the internet stays there till you take it down... what you write on paper can disappear in a second. And if it isn't blown away by the tornado that hits your house, it gets packed up and taken to storage until your house is fixed.... Sigh

Enough about that...even though I really need to blog about the night our house was hit by a tornado I don't have the energy to do it tonight...

Here is what I have been learning in the last few weeks:

1- Nothing in life is 100% certain with one exception- God and His amazing love for us

2- I was correct in believing that I have the BEST husband in the whole universe!

3- Chocolate does NOT solve all problems, it just makes you forget about the problems you have for a short while

4- We have the best friends and family imaginable.

5- Sometimes, even if it is hard, you have to stand up for yourself even if it means being a little bit rude.

6- Even though life doesn't always make sense, and sometimes it is hard, and sometimes it just down right sucks, God is still in control, He still has a plan, and He still provides all we need.

Jafari

Matt & I took a little vacation this week
to go see some friends in Gentry Arkansas!
We had a blast!
I have tons of pictures and video to upload,
but here is a sneak peak!
We spent a few hours Wednesday afternoon
at a drive through Safari! It was so much fun!
The highlight of our day
(other than the white buffalo using our car as a scratching post!)
was this little girl!
She was so cute!

Isn't she adorable!

Jafari is only 4 months old!

She may be little, but look at those claws!

Matt was in LOVE!

I thought she was pretty cute too!

Thanks Josie for letting me borrow your sweet baby for a photo shoot!

Life changes...

Sorry to leave you hanging.... Life for us has been kinda crazy lately!

In the middle of May I found out that on May 27th I would no longer have a job. I had been a nanny for "my boys" for 2 1/2 years. This came out of nowhere! I had no idea that this was going to happen. So, we took it all in and then started praying and trying to figure out what I needed to do.

I interviewed for another nanny position that week, but it just didn't work out. So, I am currently unemployed!

I am currently looking for a job, but staying busy with life... I have been baby sittings some, decorating cakes, having garage sales, and picking blueberries!

I have been trying and trying to figure out what to do since May. I have applied for some jobs, but have nothing yet.

So, after much persuading from my wonderful husband and some great friends, I bit the bullet and got some business cards printed last week. That's right, I'm starting a photography business! I've got mixed feelings about it. I am excited, don't get me wrong. I guess I just am nervous. I have always loved to take pictures, but as with anything, I'm worried about how everything will play out.

My sweet Matthew has built me a website and it looks great! Go check it out HERE!

Thanks to all my wonderful friends who have let me experiment with them and their kids!

Show and Tell Tuesday

This weekend my whole family went to Branson for a little vacation.
We had so much fun spending time together and exploring
Silver Dollar City.
It has been years since I have been there.
We had a blast!
At the end of the day, we were all so very tired,
especially my sweet nephew and niece.
Nothing more precious than a child snuggling with his papa.
I love those eyes!

For more Show and Tell Tuesdays, visit my friend Jenny.
