I am.........

MISSING

all my Internet friends! Oh my....who would of thought I'd STILL not have Internet at home. I guess they do mean business! Ho......HUM! A person never really knows how much they use the Internet until it is taken away from them. It has been 13 days...and it feels like a year. I am forever thinking, "oh....I'll just look that up on the Internet real quick!.....oh wait....I can't!" Man....I am so dependant on it. Can't wait to have it back! So far...no projected outlook in this department.

AFRAID

to open my google reader. Seriously.......13 days.....there will easily be like a bazillion and seven blog posts in there. Maybe even a bazillion and eight. What am I going to do? I hate the whole close your eyes, clutch your chest, and hit "mark all as read" button routine, but there is just no way around it this time. Sorry, friends! :(

BUSY

editing pictures of everything you all are missing out on during the "great Internet debacle of 2010". Seriously, folks, we have been having some good times. Can't wait to share all the pics!

ECSTATIC

to announce that Sugar Bear is doing FABULOUS these days. Kindergarten is going well! Dance class is fun! Back to her regular Daycare in the afternoons...sigh.....routine.....it is GOOD. Really, really, really GOOD!

PROUD

of Miss Sugar Bear. Oh yes.....so very proud! This weekend we put the pedals on her balance bike, and she just took off riding like a pro. It was AMAZING! I purchased this bike for her when she was 3, after reading a bit about the theory behind balance bikes. Unfortunately for Sugar Bear, I then proceeded to give her VERY limited time to ride her balance bike. It just isn't convenient where we live. Our driveway is a long gravel hill, and our road is wet and muddy most of the year. In late August, we dusted her bike off, and started using it a bit on our road. I then sent it to grandma's house for a week, where she has a bit of cement to ride on. Then out of the blue, this past weekend, Sugar Bear jumped on her cousin's regular bike without training wheels and just took off pedaling. I am so shocked and amazed. I am a firm believer in the balance bike. We put her pedals on as soon as we got home on Sunday, and off she went, with no help at all. LOVE IT!


HONORED

to have been trusted, yet again, with capturing all the fabulous moments of a wedding. This past Saturday, I shot for 13 and a half hours at a friend's wedding. It was probably the most challenging thing I have done in my photography journey yet, but by far the most rewarding. I set a VERY high bar for myself, and really had to push myself to perform. I am working like a mad woman on the edits, and can't wait to share the results. It was such a wonderful experience.

BLESSED

just plain ol' blessed. Life is good, oh yes it is!
