More things I've learned

-
Becoming a mom has been a fun and challenging change. One of my weaknesses is i don't do well with change. So God gave me Kimmel who can live on change who keeps me sane and i am thankful for him.  There are many things i am learning and i am sure many of you will say i have loads more to learn. So i share the lil bit i know now.

First off the last four things i learned are still true!

5. Sun gets poops stains out of clothing! Just wash or wet with soap then lay them in the sun! Thanks to Kati Dukes i know this! Might i add that we only get poop on ourselves when we use the disposable diapers! :/

6. I am reading lots of books and hearing lots of advice...but every family is different and that is good, because of this i way all advice with prayer and our family values. Books are great too but knowing i don't have to fit them exactly is huge!! (Christin's advice!)

7. Taking in every moment and try not to think about what's ahead in the next month. Taking joy in all the little things! I have been recording all things that happen during the day so dad can see it when he gets home :)


8. I love all his facial expressions. My favorite pictures are not always the cutsie smiling ones. I love his confused, concerned and what? looks ...they are so fun to try and capture! 

These are not huge revelations just more things i am learning. Thankfully the Lord meets us where we are and teaches us what we need for the moment. He is a good teacher and i am learning!

You'll be so glad you took more than just the cutsie smiling pictures. I wasn't really a fan when Jeremy took pictures of the kids when they were hurt or crying, but now those are some of my favorites!

Engagment pictures

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics

week not planned

-
This past week was something i didn't plan or ever hope for. Last thursday during staff retreat i started cramping in the abdominal area...pretty abnormally...went to the er ...andrew left school and got there right when i was being admitted at 10ish...spent all afternoon testing prodding and found something on my ovary...it was burst and i was internally bleeding...so at 8:30 i was in the surgery room having it removed laposcopicly...is that how you spell it? ;) by midnight andrew and i were checking out, heading home. Spent the weekend recovering which was weird in itself cause no one tells you about all the quirky things that happens to your body with all those meds and stuff. The worst one was the constipation that came from it. one word people "stoolsofteners'' ( i know its not one word its a partial quote from a movie) man oh man...if you have had surgery and your surrounding family made you eat and drink things that were nasty to help you recover and you by pas
