An aray of thoughts…

Good morning guys and gals.

Hope you are all having a splendid week. It’s already Wednesday [did this week go by fast for anyone other than me?] and the weekend is upon us. Normally I am more than ecstatic about the weekend, but the realization that my husband is leaving us in two weeks is finally starting to sink in. I’m trying to keep my head up and I’m doing anything and everything that I can right now to figure out some stuff to do to keep myself busy.

I’m working my photography business’ Facebook Fan Page and I’m planning on seeking out some willing people to model for me this summer so I can build up my portfolio. Little Man is adorable, but I’m pretty sure that future clients are going to want to see pictures of people besides him. So I’m going to work on that. My very best friend is pregnant and I’ll be driving up to Tuscaloosa to take Little Man to see her one weekend, and then I’ll be taking her maternity portraits this summer as well. Not to mention the trips we are going to take to California. By the time I get done booking myself solid, I’m probably going to have more to do that I realized. Which is good. I like it that way.

We got everything done yesterday. The house is almost empty. Except for the handful of tiny things we have to put in the car this afternoon. Everything is in storage and all of the suitcases are already nestled in the trunk of the car. We had the power and the cable cut off, emptied out the fridge and the freezer and spent the night with a neighbor {whose computer I am currently typing this on.} This morning I’m heading off to have a farewell lunch with another neighbor and her daughter. It’s starting to get a little sad that we are leaving. There are going to be more people than I thought that I will miss. Ok. Well maybe not that many, but there will be a few.

Ready to start a new chapter. Ready to move on and see where the Good Lord is going to take us. He always works things out for the best. It absolutely amazes me what he does for us and provides for us. Just a few minutes ago I pulled up our banking account online and saw that we were going to have more money in the bank this go around than I had originally thought. Which is good, because Hubby has got to get a new computer before school starts and I didn’t want to have to order it on the 15th and risk it not getting here in time [he leaves on the 17th]. Always, always, always such a wonderful feeling to really see God providing and working in our lives.

I took a lot of photos from around our empty house yesterday that I will share with you guys this week. Not exactly sure when I will get around to editing them and getting them posted, but I will. Most likely will I have to do them at night once when get to Alabama. When Hubby’s new computer gets here I won’t have to share with him and I can get them done quicker. If I have a spare moment in running around this weekend to get them done. Easter is Sunday, which means there will be a lot of family photos to take. Which means a lot of family photos to edit. I’m excited. This is what I love and I can’t wait to be able to do this full time.

I am so excited to go see my sweet Little Man tomorrow!! I had to mentally prepare myself for the step back into motherhood this morning. How? I slept until 10:00 and then took a 30 minute shower. Now I’m sitting here typing this and getting ready to eat some Joe’s Crabshack. Yummy. I haven’t even had breakfast so I’m pretty sure I will over eat and feel like garbage afterwards, but oh well. He’s doing some of the cutest things [apparently] at his Grandmothers house and I can’t wait to pick him up and love on him tomorrow. I’m relieved that I will have some help this summer. I wrote yesterday about how full time my mom job really is and I am overly excited that I will have grandparents around all summer to help out. It’s definitely going to be a weight off of my shoulders for a little while and going to give me the chance to really hone my photography skills and whatnot.

Anywho. That’s all for today folks. I am about 85% sure that there won’t be a post tomorrow, unless I manage to squeeze one in for you tonight. I’ve got to take hubby to work in the morning first thing, come back and get ready, go fill the car up with gas and run an errand or two before lunch. Then we’re eating with all of the Coast Guard guys as a sort of ‘Farewell’ lunch. Then we’re hitting the road. Hopefully we will make it home before 6:30ish. It’s supposed to be a 6 hour drive, but hubby does it in a little less than that. Let me just put it this way, if you ever ride anywhere with my husband, don’t drink anything. Because it’s like beating a horse with a stick to get the man to pull into a rest station or something so you can pee. Better start hydrating myself now.

Hope you all have a wonderful day and great rest of the weekend if I don’t make it back before Monday. Which hopefully I will. I don’t like being away from you guys that long.  🙂
