if anyone still reads this, i'm not sure i have anything that interesting to write about it today.
it's just one of those days i need to write to organize my feelings (maybe).
life around here is pretty simple. we basically do almost the same things every day. we aren't very exciting anymore. that's why i never blog... or maybe it's because blogging is a dying trend?
i actually wrote a lengthy post about a month ago, but never published it, because it was semi-dramatic and short lived. (small panic attack...)
it's hard to talk about anything else except my photography business because that is my life right now.
i have never been so happy, career-wise, in my life. everyday is so fulfilling and i have a serious passion for my business. i never complain about any aspects of my business. i love the budgeting, keeping track of income and expenses, shooting, editing, organizing, all. of. it. i feel so liberated and refreshed and absolutely happy about all of it. i have been super fortunate to book a good amount of wedding clients this summer. i have one wedding a week (or more) starting tomorrow for 10 straight weeks, a week break, and more to follow. it truly has been the biggest blessing. i can't even explain how much joy this career brings to me. i've talked to many people recently that comment on how lucky i am to do what i love and they never have felt that way in their own career. there were many that doubted i could succeed at this. it's definitely hard and unpredictable, but i'm pretty dang proud of how far i've come. i still have a million things to learn, and i will be the first to admit that i'm not the best photographer out there.
it's a miracle midge looked right at the camera for this picture.
she's still a spaz x 100.
lincoln is about to finish another semester of school.
he should only have two part-time semesters left, then GRADUATION!
after then it will be about a year and a half before we head off to Physicians Assisting school for a 2 year program.
all of those plans scare me a little, so i don't think about them much.
lots of things about the future scare me.
it's hard to know when the right time for everything is.
i wasn't sure it was the right time for me to quit my full-time job and pursue my business full-time.
but now it's proving it was the right time.
BUT it's definitely hard to take that leap of faith.
