Project365

I joined a 365 project on Flickr.

http://www.flickr.com/groups/project_365/

The premise is to take one photo a day for 365 days. The photo can be anything you desire.

There are also weekly topics that are there to take part it. I plan to take at least one picture on the topic per week. I'm pretty excited about it! It's no surprise that I love taking pics, and I think it will be cool to see what random pics I will come up with throughout the year!!!

Here is pic numero uno!!

1/365--shot from my shower....



I went shopping yesterday for shampoo and was bummed to find a newer design on the conditioner and an older design on the shampoo. I hate being mismatched!! Anyhoo....while I was in the shower thinking of what random pic to take today, my annoyance got the better of me and Voila!

Happy Halloween!!!

BOO!!!!!

It's been about two years since I carved a pumpkin. This year, I decided it was time to get back in the game! New house....it was time to start some traditions!!

I decided to go big or go home. I found a picture online of what I wanted to carve, and got myself a 40 lb pumpkin and a wee baby pumpkin and got carving!

Jamie was really nervous because I broke my 'pumpkin carving knife' within two seconds so I had to resort to hacking away at it with four different kitchen knives, as well as my xacto knife (which I wrangled out of my scrapbooking supplies).

He said that if he had to drive me to the ER he would be PISSED!!! LOL! More like he would faint from all of the blood. I managed without injury and I think my big guy looks pretty good!!! Scary indeed!

I'll have him all set up tomorrow night for trick or treaters!!

Mark & Stacey Engagement......

What a great couple to work with!! Full of love!!

Sneak Peak....

of the engagement shoot I did last night with Mark & Stacey. I will be back to post more!

Autumn....

Is here!! Although I hate the cold....and knowing that winter is on the way, I do love this season!

Everything is so pretty. My goal has been to get a BIG pumpkin this year...and I think I succeeded!! 40 lbs!! Can't wait to carve this sucker!


A smallish update....I lost one pound! Woot!! I had take out on the weekeend (bad me). But one pound is pretty good!

o stomach, I barely knew thee.....

Pic taken in July '06....

15 months and 20 pounds later I will spare you the 'now' picture!!

It's back on the healthy kick again! For me and Jamie. I did it before (the pic in August was after I lost 15 pounds I think), so I know I can do it again, I just have to get my butt in gear.

There are a couple of reasons why we are doing the healthy thing:

1. We have been eating take out and junk food for a good four months. House stress and not being home that often to cook healthy meals has led to bad eating habits for both of us.

2. Who can't stand to lose a few pounds?? Okay, Jamie doesn't really need to lose weight. But I have a closet full of clothes that I'd like to wear again sometime soon!

3. It's almost baby making time people!! NO...we are not trying YET...but probably after Christmas. So, I definitely want to get healthy for that. Plus, I will want to eat healthy while we are pregnant, so why not start now. **fingers crossed we don't have too much trouble getting pregnant!!** Also, if I'm going to put on weight later, I'd rather lose some now.

4. Jamie has heart disease running rampant in his family (dad, mom, & sis have all had heart troubles). Going to try my best to get him eating better and stuff like that.

We 'officially' started yesterday. I have made up a seven day meal plan menu to try and keep us on track as much as possible. There is no junk food in the house, and hopefully we can stay away from takeout!!!

I will be updating on our progress, wish us luck!!!

Echo, Echo...is anyone out there??

Just looking into some archives and realizing how much I used to write on this blog, and how little I do now....

So I guess it's time to jump back on the train....do I have any readers left out there???

I hope so!! That way you can yell at me if I fall back off the wagon!

All moved in!!

So excited!!
