Geez, it's been a few days since I got to sit down at my computer and blog about things going on right now!
Here's what you missed:
1. I am beginning to hate winter. HATE it.
2. I have been extremely busy with work, school, home life, etc.
3. I have started to make a plan for Photography specials I'm going to be having for the next few months! :)
4. I will be doing a "birth photography story" (a little frightened about this one.....)
5. God is good, as always. :)
Okay let's be honest, I can't be the only one that is waiting for those beautiful, sunny, summer days where everyone sits on their back porch, grilling hotdogs and hamburgers, and watching the sun set LATER than 6 pm. I can barely take any more of it!
But, I guess I'll put my big-girl-pants on, along with my SNOW BOOTS, and keep on going.
(okay, rant is over.)
Does anyone else feel like life is going MUCH faster than it used to??
I mean seriously, what happened to the days when you had time to go see your grandma, or you had time to plant a garden, or you even had time to do some laundry! I feel like life goes 100 miles an hour and I can barely keep up! So, I'm coming up with a new plan. That's right, I'm outsmarting this speedy way of life!
I am going to make it a point to slow down a little bit. Instead of making plans that I can barely keep up with, I'm going to make sure I don't overwhelm myself. I have to start thinking about things before I make a commitment to do it because I have a tendency to overdo it... I'm also going to make it a point to at least CALL some of my loved ones that I don't see but once every zillion years and make sure that they know I love them. Life is too short, and boy does it go fast.
Anyway, school is going quite well! Love my Comp class!
I feel like I am never home. Literally. Ever. I basically pay rent for a home for my things because I am NEVER there. (I'm being a little whinier tonight, my apologies.)
So that about sums that up. Moooooooving on:
I have decided to make a set schedule for my photography specials! Woohoo! AND better yet, I'm going to tell you about them so that you can schedule your photo appointments at the time that will save you the most money! (be excited people, be very excited! :)
So here it is! The special-schedule for the next few months!
February: It's baby month! That means, all your babies, toddlers, and mommy-to-be's are going to get a special deal this month!
March: I can't forget the most important thing in life, FAMILY. So, if you're looking to get some special family photos done at a good price, March is the month for you! :)
April: April is my mommy's name! And I love my mommy! So April is going to be "Love" month! Get your engagement/couple pictures done in this month for a special price!
May: It's never to early to start senior pictures for the fall! Plus, the weather should be fantastic! So May is a special time to get your senior photos taken for an AMAZING price! :)
So that's about all I have so far.... I hope that helps though! I'm quite excited!
In other news for TMLP (Through My Lens Photography), I will be doing my first ever birth story! So exciting! As I've mentioned before, my sister is going to be having her baby around the first week of May! (We are getting quite excited!) She has asked me to take photos of her birth story so she can keep all of the special memories from that important day forever. I am SO excited, but I'm also extremely nervous. I mean these photos are going to be a part of her life forever and this is one of the biggest days of her life! I can't screw this up! So, if you have any awesome ideas on what you think I should be sure to photograph, feel free to tell me! I love pointers! :)
I do have a beauty product tonight! Woohoo! It finally came! It's my kabuki makeup brush! I ordered it online and it took what seemed like a million years to get here, but it finally arrived and I am IN LOVE with it.
I would recommend this brush a thousand times over! It's been so awesome for my makeup routine! It seriously cuts down my foundation applying time DRASTICALLY and it leaves it looking so nice :)
I also have a special recommendation! Tonight, Mr. Justice and I had a movie night! We watched the movie Captain Phillips, and the entire time I was on the edge of my seat! If you haven't seen it yet, you definitely should! It's based on a true story which makes it even BETTER!
We also went and watched the movie FROZEN for the second time this week!
Let it goooooooo, let it goooooooo! (I could keep going, but I won't.) I am obsessed with this movie. I am a firm believer that there is nothing wrong with loving cartoons when you're an adult! For one thing, you don't have to listen to terrible language, and for another thing, the songs are fantastic! (Do you wanna build a snowmaaaaaaaaannnnn)
So go watch both of those! You'll be so glad you did! :)
I don't know about you, but I can always use some special words from God. This verse was actually the verse I got today on my Bible app! I thought it would work quite nicely. :)
Deuteronomy 30:16
In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
What this says to me:
God made us. Simple as that. I think we pretty much owe it to our MAKER to do what He would want. I mean, we wouldn't even be here without Him. We would be nothing! So why on earth do we go against Him? (We must be crazy.....) He made us to WALK IN HIS WAYS. He also made us to KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. It's scary to think that I don't do that all the time. I mess up on a daily basis, sometimes on a minute to minute basis! How great is it to know that even with all our mess ups, God still loves us, and He will NEVER leave us. We may feel like there is nothing in this world going for us, but God is there. You may feel like everything in your world is going wrong, but God is still in control. All we have to do is strive to be like Him. He made us, that's the least we can do! So challenge yourself to be a better Christian. Think before you speak, and make sure you're doing the write thing. :)
One more thing, I have been thinking a LOT about my future, in a career sense. I'm trying really hard to figure out what I want to do with my life and I hope that some big changes are in store for not only myself, but also for my AMAZING husband. :) So please keep us in your prayers that God will lead us to whatever we are supposed to do in life. We're both really searching for something better for our little family. :)
Okay, I'm done for tonight. I hope that encourages you and I hope that you have a fantastic week! Love, Stephanie :)
