i feel like i'm trapped...between a rock, another rock, a hard place, & 5 more rocks.
the past week or two i've been so busy it's kinda ridiculously crazy. nice. but crazy. i have so many goals & ambitions i keep trying to narrow down to the best but they are all so good it's really hard to narrow it down.
i feel like forrest and i don't get time for each other, between school, his work, my work {currently at about 4 jobs, don't get me wrong not 4 full time jobs, but it's still been a crazy schedule.} and i get overwhelmed thinking how much more crazy it's going to be when we have babies.
thank heavens i have such a wonderful and loving husband. his sense of humor usually keeps me sane ;) and his loving embrace warms my heart. someday i hope to be as loving and stress free as he is. anyway my primary duties are calling.
p.s. happy super bowl tomorrow, i made homemade football shaped oreos to celebrate!

it's rather plain and simple for the moment, but just wait. it's gonna be amazing.

i love food & it's a problem

& i wonder why i can't lose weight....i can't stop shoving my face with yummy treats

or yummy dinners

and when i work out i have to share the t.v. i'm sure that's real productive ha.

merry christmas.

christmas is getting rather close. yay!
i'm busy today baking my life away, finishing up some stockings & gifts, wrapping a few more things & cleaning our disgusting house....gap has kept me busy lately, i've had to neglect a few household chores.
but from us to you, have yourself a merry little christmas.
we love you!!

ps thanks for all the kind words of encouragement about the post below, things to look forward to in 2O12...new business endeavours!!

busy bee

i realize I've been mia. been genuinely busy. way busy. had photo shoots like crazy....which is awesome! working at gap again. which is also great! all those shoots have meant a lot more time editing and delivering images to clients which I LOVE. but i've also had an idea brewing...i have been baking and finding yummy things to make. and i figured in all my spare time ;) I'd love to start catering treats in fact if I could make baking and photographing my main sources of income I'd be in heaven! but I'm kind of stuck, i'm just feeling like I don't know how to start this new venture but it's something I'd really like to pursue. ideas? theories? successes? failures? they are all about to happen but if anyone has tips they would be much appreciated. now it's back to work for this little worker bee
:)

thankful

feeling rather picked on at the moment so I figured I needed to take a moment and be grateful.

I'm so grateful for my loving families....both sides. all their love and support. thank you for all your love.

thankful.

particularly feeling blessed today for my body. I feel very blessed to have the ability to walk. run. work out. be independent. I have been able to run 2 half marathons and intend to run a whole in the next year. I couldn't do MOST of the things that I do without my functioning body. what a miraculous blessing.


this was 2 weekends ago after the Halloween half.

thankful

for the temple.
the beauty & peace found therein.
the ability to perform baptisms yesterday morning with the man i love.
& for the knowledge of eternal families, that you can attain within those sacred walls.

mason.austin.keaton.

couldn't help but post this.
had a fall photo shoot with little mason keaton, his mom shanna is one of my dearest friends. & this little guy is one of the sweetest little things.

i mean really?

in love with this child.

thankful

today i am grateful for my job. even though some days I despise it. I really am grateful to have had a job all through school and all my traveling experiences. it's been a good long 5 years here & we couldn't survive as independently as we do if I didn't have it.
