Oh my there are so many things on the horizon right now, both personally and professionally. I can’t wait to share some of them with you. At the present moment I am overwhelmed with things to do that are never ending!! Do you ever feel like there is so much you don’t know where to start? I have sat down at the computer on several different occasions to “work” and I find myself staring blankly at the screen because I don’t know quite where to start. Which is why I haven’t posted to my blog lately, bad I know!! Seriously, my Google reader is about to explode when I open it because I haven’t looked at so many of my favorite blogs, again where do I start when the number a the top of the reader says over 100 new posts!!
Lately, my pregnancy brain has been getting the best of me (at least that is what I blame it on!! - haha!!) and I have been forgetting my train of thought as soon as it comes into my head. Perhaps that is why I am overwhelmed…I can’t even remember my own thoughts!! Yikes!! However, I want to share with you some of my thoughts (if I can remember them) and what is coming soon. Then I want to share a photo my girlfriend took…many of you have seen, but I wanted to share it here!
So, my random thoughts. One is where have I been with this whole Twilight series?? My friend, Erin bought me the first book for Christmas and I left it on the nightstand for the last few months. So, one night I decided to just pick it up and see what the hype is all about. Two days later I am reserving the remaining three books from the library. I have finished book #2, but am now pausing a moment as I have a few priorities (like talking to my family, making dinner and sleeping) that went lacking while I became a bookworm and couldn’t tear myself away. I feel like a love struck teenager as I read through these silly books, but although I must say that even though I do realize that my husband is not a vampire I am seeing him through the eyes of a love sick girl looking at her soul mate more and more…haha!! See these books do benefit him after all. So, I am sure that I will give in and book #3 will become an obsession before the week has ended.
Things that are on the horizon…well there are many. Personally there are a few that immediately come to mind or what is left of it. One is that I am more than halfway through this pregnancy, which is hard to believe. We had our midpoint ultra sound a few weeks ago and everything looked beautiful and this little one was VERY active. In fact, I was surprised that there were any pictures from the ultra sound since the tech could hardly get this baby not doing somersaults. However, the baby did pause as we got a perfect toilet between the legs and I believe that there was no mistaking that this is a little boy!! So, that makes us even at the Zeller house…2 and 2! We are all thrilled to meet this little man. As for names, well we are still in negotiations and I think the reveal will be after we get to meet this guy!! Other things on the horizon…we will be moving sometime in about three months. Only about a mile away, but there is nothing quite like moving with kids or how about moving right when you are supposed to be nesting!! Haha!! Hopefully, this little man stays put until we can at least get somewhat settled, but only God knows and it will all work out. We are excited about the move and what it brings for our family as we simplify life a little bit, if there is such a thing. The last thing that I will share personally is a huge step for our family and that is we have decided to enroll two of our kids at a Christian School in the fall. It’s huge because it is a huge commitment for us in the financial department. We have come to know that our money is not our own, it’s Gods. It’s nice that he loans it to us while we are here. Knowing that it isn’t ours has made this decision a little easier, but as humans we still get nervous on the hows. However, if God presses something on our hearts (which He did for both my husband and me) and we continue to pray and ask his guidance, how can I then not be obedient to Him because of a fear that is nothing for God. All I hear in my ear is…Trust me, I will provide. I do. I still have a twinge of fear that likes to creep in now and again, but then I hear it again, Trust me, I will provide. So, wow I love that God is always faithful and I do know He will provide. We just have to make the steps to be obedient and I am always excited to see what God does with that. It is rarely what I expect.
Whew…so now to business!!! There are so many things to share, but I will keep it a little short since I just got way long winded back there!!! Haha, I am a preacher’s daughter - it comes with the territory!! :) So, I can’t wait to reveal my new logo that is currently under way!! It will be completed soon and I can’t tell you just how thrilled I am!! One of my wonderful brothers did my first logo, which I loved, but I have known for a little while that it was time for a change. I needed something that was 100% me! The concepts that sweet Aleta has come up with have been just that and we are finishing up the last touches…oh I can’t wait!! So, more to come on that!! Other things that are coming…I am changing my structure a little bit and the way I do my pricing. I want to better meet the needs of my clients and make things as easy as possible for them. So, as all of that comes together I will be sharing more soon!! A lot of things I have been dragging my feet a little bit because I want to use my new logo, so it is coming soon!! I am so excited for some up and coming weddings these next couple of months. Two of them out of Phoenix!! I have always loved weddings…being a preacher’s daughter I have been to my share of them (over 50 at least), so it is fun to be able to be more than a bystander and to share in the joy of two people joining together in front of God, family and friends AND to get to capture that with my camera so, that those precious memories from the day are forever remembered, it’s just amazing!!
One last thing, although most of you have probably given up on all my ramblings at this point!! Those of you that are still hanging onto every word I type…haha!! Since summer will bring a move and a baby upon our family I will be taking the months of June, July and August off. If you are wanting to book a session before then please contact me soon. I have many of my clients with little ones turning a year in May that will be taking up many of my weekends…I can’t wait to see how big these cuties have gotten, so if you haven’t officially booked please contact me soon so, that I can get you in before June!! Thanks for letting me ramble and share with you. I love that I can do that on here. It’s almost like my own version of a journal, which by the way would love to start doing again in my spare time, however I haven’t found any of that lately!! :) Here is the photo of my family that I promised…by far one of my favorites. If this doesn’t show the personality of my kiddos right now I don’t know what does!!
Blessings!
