Right Now I'm...

Listening: Well it IS October, so... the Celtic Thunder has been my go-to music lately! I also happened upon a Pandora station called "Film Scores," which has made for some fabulous study music.

Watching: I'm working my way through Revenge again. I'm kind of glad that it ended last season; now I can watch it all the way through and know how it ends!

Reading: At the moment, I'm reading a nice big book called "Life & Health Study Manual." Talk about intrigue. So many twists and turns... (haha)!

Working on: (1) Making my baby booties in a larger size to accommodate babies in my life who aren't exactly newborn size (2) wedding music for this weekends ceremony. 

Wishing: Hmmm... not sure there's anything I'm really wishing for at the moment. Just trying to be content & happy with what I have.

Needing: A photographic brain.  It would make this studying stuff way easier!

Rejoicing: I passed the first set of tests for my new job on the first try! I take the second set next week, so I'm hoping (and studying, too) that I pass these on the first try as well!

Reflecting on: This is a little deep (and when things get too deep, people drown), but in yesterday's Bible reading (which was actually Sunday's reading because I somehow ended up a day behind...) I came across a verse in Jeremiah that says something along the lines of (Vance paraphrase) "God has forgiven you sins in their entirety, and He is choosing to never again recall them." WOW! What an encouragement! Sometimes I get so bogged down by my past sins, that I start feeling as though God will eventually give up on me.  BUT... He has chosen to never again remember my sins!  So maybe, I should learn from them, and then take my cue from The Redeemer: stop dwelling on my past sins!

Picturing: This girl... from this weekend's shoot.  Also, I had trouble choosing just ONE... Love her!

41/52 - Service

One of my favorite things...


I don't have any desire to be a firefighter, nor do I wish to require their services, but I DO have a thing for firetrucks and firehouses and firefighters!

40/52 - Autumn

From today's photo shoot with my cousin and his family... isn't this little guy just too cute?!



Oh... and also, I'm queen of the selfie. I mastered "selfie" BEFORE it was cool.

39/52 - Black & White

This might possibly be one of my favorite pictures of Leah I've ever taken...

Right Now I'm...

Listening: Don't get mad... or do. I don't care. I've been listening to CHRISTMAS music when I get ready in the morning! It won't last long, as I generally don't go full-on Christmas till mid November, but this little preview has been delightful! 

Watching: YAY for the return of ALL the Fall shows! PLUS a few newbies, too! The one I'm most looking forward to is probably Chicago PD... or Chicago Fire. Or maybe it's TGIT (Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder). Or Once Upon a Time. Or...

Reading: The only book I've made sure to read lately has been the Bible I mentioned last month. Michelle & I are still reading it and LOVING it!

Working on: Branding. Establishing a photography business on the side. I absolutely love taking pictures, but I'm still a little hesitant as to whether or not I truly have the talent. So maybe I'm also working on a little self-confidence, as well.

Wishing: For Autumn to show her true colors! Both literal colors and the chilly weather!

Needing: A new pair of jeans that I can really, truly say were worth the money.  And none of that skinny nonsense either. I have one pair of those and that is more than enough.

Rejoicing: I start my new job in TWO DAYS!  Yikes! And YAY!

Reflecting on: Life. In general.  And also on how genius it is to have peppermint coffee AND peppermint creamer. How's that for deep thoughts?!

Picturing: This lovely moment from a year ago this coming weekend....how I wish Slappy and I could hop in the car and go see Helen for her birthday this year...
