2 years from today...

 It's true, when they say that "no matter how long as passed, you will never forget, your labor story".....


I remember it as if it were yesterday...
      Exactly 2 years from today (8-8-10). I went into the triage center at 5pm. to be induced. (I don't care to share all of the details on here as they are personal). Many Many Many long hours, into labor - I could not get passed 4cm dialated. Soooooo after nearly 42 HOURS ( yes, its true), via c-section, we welcomed Kenley Giada into our lives...... on August 10th, at 9:54pm!!

We are extremely proud parents and could not be happier!

Changes....

Well, I guess I had to break my promise to keep this blog updated- as its not easy with 3 Facebook accounts, 2 blogs and 3 email accounts! Yikes- modern technology and I need to have a chat on syncing some of this stuff together hah!

I feel as if summer has just began and its time to accept that it is FLYING by! ... Photography life is good, in fact a little too good! ( Be careful what you wish for you might just get it). The Groupon I ran for my business is coming to an end. I have approx 40 sessions scheduled for September- plus 2 weddings! I am trying to get as much as I can done prior to starting my classes so that I can tailor my photography schedule around school.


School?, I know! this came out of nowhere huh? Well, many of you would assume that I would be taking Photography classes- but, um nope! Don't need help in that department ( hence the 40 sessions in September <--- not to "toot my own horn" or anything but I must be doing something right :)

I am actually going to be attending the nursing program. I have no intentions of giving up Photography. I am just trying to follow another passion of mine- while, allowing me to bring in some consistent work part time- so that I can continue to grow my photography business. My 5 year plan includes permanent studio space- preferably downtown Rochester. ( Hey, if don't have dreams, you have nothing). And if that isn't crazy enough- my plan also includes baby #2! lol ..... Well, things have been put on hold in that dept. for a while as I do want to focus on school. I have to know where to draw the line. Wife, mother to a toddler, photographer, student..... lol.

As most of you already know, the hubbs landed a new job. I couldn't be more proud of him. After 10 years of working for his previous company, he needed a change. I am so proud he took the risk- to better himself. He totally deserved this! The new job, is a significant pay increase, better benefits, and has a lot more room for growth ( not to mention that it is 1/2 mile away from where we live). Right now, he has 6 to 8 weeks of training. The hours are a little different than what we are used to. But as of right now- we like them better. He works from 8pm to 4 am. Its perfect- he comes home -sleeps from 4:05ish until about 12:30-1pm. And then has the entire day to spend with Kenley and I. Not to mention - it really helps out with my schedule as well. (for work). Plus- for a few hours at night- I get the bed and all the covers to MYSELF! hehe.
