Let's Celebrate, It's All Right!

Sometimes my work experience from Sears Portraits come in handy. This weekend proved that.

I'm actually VERY pleased with the photos I was able to do on Saturday and this afternoon. Are they perfect, no. I doubt any photographer comes away feeling they did everything exactly right, but that being said I love how these first few turned out!

We'll see if I can handle it when mom has my stuff booked for next weekend. We're cramming in everyone we can because the snow has come early to South Central Alaska and I can't risk driving back and forth much more than next week. Which is kind of a bummer, but at the same time I want a weekend to myself ha ha!

I think that I will be moving to Kenai either January of next year or May. I really hate doing it and yet I don't. On one hand, that means I won't get to work even part time at wildride... but I can't live up here on my own and we all know I've worn out my welcome.

I am not completely sure living at home in KEnai is going to be much better, though. Dad is in a funk of massive proportions and that was wearing me thin in the three days (two if you look at the hours actually spent there) and I can't go back into that sort of thing. Seriously it never stops!

But either way if I don't mooch off of someone I can't take my dog into an apartment, and even if I didn't have a dog it'd still run me 900 a month without utilities! BLAH!

So prayer in that area would be greatly appreciated. I've gotta get this photo business off the ground.

I will have some photos up soon! :)

...will be heading home again this afternoon. Mom's computer is still downa nd I can't get my laptop to run on their DSL... I might be able to get online for a bit on Saturday while I'm at the church taking pictures of people, but I can't be sure.

So I will see everyone, most likely, Sunday evening! Take care!

So Thursday got off to a great start with an early morning phone call from Erin saying she was HOME!!! I was so excited and bouncy. However SHE was in KENAI and I was in ANCHORAGE. So after that it was all just a "I can't wait for tomorrow when we go down." LOL So then we get there and Erin came over for a little bit but had to do dinner with her fam so we pushed the steak night back a night and then she stayed while I ate tacos and talked. Dad had the funniest prayer for dinner too. He was being a goof (he fell on the ice and I think he hit more than his elbow! LOL) Then she left and we all headed for teh fireworks. Which were so not as impressive as Disney's fireworks LOL But then again who can beat Disney? I think I annoyed my parents because every time another would go up I'd compare it to Disney. It was fun LOL. Saw Kassy there.

Then we came home and were goofing off, Duane was being just totally bratty and we were all going to kill him but oh well LOL, and Kassy came over and we spent 2 hours talking like old times. It's amazing how when you're gone your friendships grow! Then she left and it was bed time :)

On Saturday Erin came over and we made our way to "National Treasure" which is a GREAT movie. Funny and exciting and really well acted. I don't like Nicholas Cage, and still don't but this is a good movie! Go watch it! It was refreshingly void of swear words or sex so yeay for good movies like that! Jerry Bruckheimer is now my 2nd favorite director/producer! Sorry George, you're fast becoming a blip on the radar! :p Anyway, then we went to blockbuster and rented "The Terminal" and "A Cinderella Story" so that I would have something to watch with my parents that night, we then headed over to Kassy's picked her up and headed BACK to the movies so that we could catch "Christmas With The Kranks" another GREAT movie. Hilarious! A definate must see! Then we dropped Kassy off and went for Steak Night at my house. Ate steak then started to play Scene It Disney. SO MUCH FUN! It was a blast. My family is too competitive though. LOL It got pretty rough!!

On Sunday went to church then went to Taco Bell with Kassy and Erin. Then we went back to my house for a second round of Scene It. I won both days. I am the best! ha ha!!! Seriously though it was another fun, competitive, day... then we went to church that night and then Erin had to go home so that she could pack to leave. She was crying and it was funny(she'll be back in 3 weeks) so that was my weekend.

oh and as you could tell the best part of the weekend other than spending it with Erin was that Mr. Summer is doing so well!
