Little Update :)

Man, I've been wanting to blog for the last three weeks, but i've kept putting it off. I keep thinking, i have to remember that so i can blog about it, i have to remember this...and then i forget it all. I still haven't gotten around to blogging about girlscamp, but it's 11:00 at night, and i just don't want to right now, i guess. This is me. kinda tired. kinda got some crazy hair goin on. it's cool though.



I got released as the relief society compassionate service leader, which was actually a lot harder than I thought it would be. At first, I felt it was stressful and that I wasn't qualified, and I didn't know much. All which were true, but I got to know so many people in the ward and learned how important it is to become organized. I grew to appreciate the ladies in my ward and how willing they were to do service for the ward, and because of them, will always be more willing to sign up for meals or visits, instead of passing the clipboard on by. I've been called to be the Beehive class advisor, isn't that something? They never did release me from being Assistant Camp director, so we'll see about that. I'm excited about this new calling, but at the same time feel stressed out and unqualified. I have this mindset of "I'm too young for this" ...i'm just a kid! But I'm not anymore, I guess! I don't know very much, but i'm capable and willing and ready to learn new things.

Work is going good, since the preschool is over for the summer, I'm working with the school age kids, taking them on field trips and watching them. It's been fun. I got put on their insurance and am now allowed to drive the van, which is freakin' ridiculous! Ridiculous as in, the van is HUGE and SCARY! :) I'm not working until 10 everyday, so that gives me some time to stay up a little later, and go to the gym in the morning before.

I'm so glad school is out for me right now. I love the seven week break and the time I get to just be at work and come home and do my own thing; not having to work on homework. I did pretty well, I got A's in Health, Religion, Capstones and Music Methods. I got a B in Science and a C+ in Fundamentals of a Number Theory. So stinkin' glad I passed that class. I was way scared to take it. I have to take the geometry part next semester. From here on out is going to be pretty hard, and I'm actually really scared. I've had thoughts of quitting school. I think hair school would actually be really fun. I don't think I've ever told anyone that in my life, actually. I might have mentioned it once to Wade, but I seriously think it would be fun. I'm not really going to quit school, because I'd love to teach as well, but thinking about the end and all the things I still have left to do really freaks me out, to the point that I feel like I really could quit. But I wont. Fear not. Three semester's left. Don't worry, I still have to take all three of my diagnostics, apply for student teaching and take both my praxis tests. [Who am I kidding] Anyway. I need to figure that stuff out.

Oh, Glen and Hailey are engaged. I took their engagement pictures about a month ago, and just took their bridals the other week when we went to Utah. I've been really busy with photography lately, I haven't had a chance to put any of the pictures from this summer up. I've had four weddings which have kept me really busy. I've also had family sessions, bridals, engagements, and a couple seniors. It's been good. I really wish I loved photography more though. I enjoy it as a hobby, but I don't have a deep love or passion for it. The main reason I got into photography in the first place, was because I love to blog. That's why I do photography. I love blogging, I love the blogging community, I love the graphic design, I love reading, commenting and writing. I love using my photos for documenting my life. I don't enjoy the business side to it, which is why I'm not advertising or promoting right now, and haven't been for the last four months. If people ask me, and I can fit them into my schedule, I'll take them. I don't want this hobby of mine to become ruined by the business side to all of this. Lately, I've felt taken advantage of, which could partially be my fault, but nonetheless, I have, and have felt this way before. It's a hard deal & it's sad when it comes to people you love and respect, and want the best for, but I feel it needs to go both ways. This isn't just about any one situation, I've felt this way for awhile. So we'll have to see how I feel about it more in the future.

Wade is doing good. He's keeping busy working with little Caleb. Everything is going good for us, just keeping busy working and playing. We've been using our Chukars tickets we got for Christmas, swimming at the Apple, going for nightly runs to the snow shack, playing games and grilling with our new friends (the klingers and the weatheralls) & our old ones, (the searles)! We went to Coldstone on Monday night for Wade's birthday! I didn't get any pictures that whole day, which is such a bummer! It was kind of a crazy day though. We were driving home from Utah from taking Glen and Hailey's bridals, and then we had to drive straight to the Apple for our shift, and so we only had a little time left to celebrate. I felt bad, but we made up for it the next weekend by hangin' with our friends. I'm married to a 24 year old. That is just crazy. ;)
