No time for pictures today!

I had planned on taking pictures today since it was so beautiful and sunny outside, but my plans got put on the back burner. Our day started off with my 4 year old's first visit to the dentist! He did wonderful and got an excellent exam so that went well for us. We (hubby, 8 yr. old son, 4 yr. old son and I) went to lunch together at a local restaurant and had a good lunch. The boys and I went to the library to return books and movies and let my oldest read two more of the required books for second grade. I then got the notion to go ahead and try to finish uniform shopping for my youngest. He needed more shorts for school. So, we head to the mall (35 minutes away) to the try to find some. Long story short....after going in and out of 5 different stores, none of which had his size, we stop at one more outside the mall. No luck there either! So, after 6 tries, I have reached a frustration level of 10! We stop for a quick ice cream (and Diet Coke for me) snack to refull before going home. On the way home, I decided to try one more store. I didn't want to have wasted a whole afternoon shopping for something and come home with absolutely nothing! We get there, park, unload, and in my attempt to get the ice cream cups out of the car to throw away - I LOCK my keys in the car! I have to call OnStar to unlock the car...thank goodness for OnStar! We finally make it into the store and look around for 5 minutes before I finally find the type of shorts he needs and see they only have 2 pair left in his size! We try them on just to make sure they fit and head to the register. Oh wait...he has to go to the bathroom now, so we make a quick stop (at least they had one in the store). Whew...now he has a pair of shorts for each day of the week in case I get behind on laundry (like I normally do). Okay...it's now 4:30pm and we head back home and make a quick stop at McDonald's for supper since my hubby has card night tonight. After supper, I gave the boys a bath, checked email, paid bills, and am now writing this blog! So, no pictures were taken today, but there is still hope for tomorrow!

Finally Finished for the Day

Okay.... I have finally finished setting up my blog! I have even entered a contest on http://www.iheartfaces.com! Wow...I have learned a lot in the 4 hours I have been on the computer. This is going to be fun!

New to Blogging

Well this has been quite an experience this afternoon. I really have no clue what I am doing in trying to set up this blog. I am learning as I go. It isn't as easy as some people say it is or I am just not as advanced as those people! HaHa! Maybe it will get easier as the days go by.

About Me

My photo
Ruston, Louisiana, United States
Hi and welcome to my blog. I have always loved to take pictures to document the special times in my life...high school times, college times, dating moments, wedding bliss, babies, and life in general! Then, two years ago, my husband gave me a Nikon D40 for Christmas and my love grew even more! I started learning on my own and used my family as my models. I took a leap of faith and went into business to do photo shoots for different family members and friends. I am absolutely in heaven when I am shooting and editing photos. I just upgraded to a new camera and love getting used to it! I learn new tricks and techniques daily and can't wait to try them out on willing clients! My other part-time job is coaching girls' basketball. I love this job too and feel right at home in the gym! I am truly blessed to be able to do two jobs that are absolutely fulfilling and exciting for me! I am also blessed to be a wife to the most caring, understanding, and giving husband a woman could ask for and a mom to the most precious, loving, beautiful boys in the world! I couldn't do the things I love to do without the love and support of my family!
