Class of ‘79

Let me just say that I like to have fun…

I like to go out and with my girlfriends and dance and have a few drinks

but MAN…can that class have a good time and they can move!

I was hired to photograph the 30yr Reunion for Will Rogers HS and I had a BLAST!

I never knew hanging out with almost  50yrs could be so much FUN!

This makes me think of my 10 yr Reunion in 2012 and how much I am actually looking forward to seeing my classmates!

It has been too long since I have talked to some of them and some I talk to on a somewhat normal basis (as normal as you can get when you are CRAZY busy)…

I miss HS…not all of it and there are def things I wish I could change…it was a happy time and a sad time.

I miss Friday night football games and hanging out at Mazzio’s till they kicked us out and then hanging out in the parking lot till my mom would call asking “Jennifer where are you?”

I miss not really having responsibility…but I wouldn’t trade what I have for the world.

What a LOOOOONG Day…

Gannon is just wearing me OUT, is it bedtime yet???

I got up Wednesday morning at 8:45 to take Gannon to school and didn’t go to sleep until 5:15 this morning…

Yes that is my fault but I am SO busy and Kyle & Gannon didn't go to bed till 2:15(actually Gannon went to bed at 10 and then woke up at 12) so I still needed my mommy time.

So I got up this morning at 9am drove to Drummond left there at 12:40 and drove home.

I was asleep 15 mins after walking in the house! THANK GOODNESS Gannon fell asleep also!

After I watch  my shows tonight (even I can even stay up that long) I am off to sleep.

Have to pack in the morning for Tulsa…Shooting the Will Rogers HS 30yr Reunion this weekend, children’s session &

a senior rep session…Busy weekend! Hopefully I will get some sleep somewhere in there!

Goodnight!

Just a random picture for you…

 

Well…

as I sit here snotty nosed and red eyed from reading various blogs...

Somehow I ALWAYS find the blogs that are heartbreaking...

I know that God has a plan for everyone and everything but I can't help but

wonder what the BIG picture is...

I have lost many people in my life from various things, my friends children have passed away

and have almost passed away.

I am not really sure where this blog is going (hence my blogs name)…

After reading all of these blogs about sweet babies passing away from SIDS or husbands losing their wives it reminds me of a time when Gannon was 3 or 4 days old…I had just nursed him to back to sleep around 1 or 2 and put him in his pack and play and kissed him goodnight…knowing good and well that he would wake up in 20mins to nurse again and to snuggle with me…then I got that “MOTHER’S INSTINCT” that I should check on him one last time before closing my eyes for my 20 min nap…convinced that something was wrong.

Well ALWAYS TRUST THAT INSTINCT!

I guess Gannon had spit up in his sleep (yes, he was on his back) and my milk hadn't really come in yet so it was still thick colostrum.  It was SO thick, it was coming out of his nose and mouth and his eyes were wide open like he KNEW he was in trouble(as much as a 3-4day old baby can be) I grabbed him up and started screaming at Kyle to get the nasal aspirator and was frantically sucking the spit up out of his nose and mouth.

I remember holding him as tight as I could and just crying…WHAT IF I hadn't leaned down ONE last time…what would have happened? I don't think I slept at all that night.

I STILL to this day check on him SEVERAL times through out the night…I constantly worry about him.

We co-sleep but every once in awhile he will fall asleep on the couch and I stick him in his room.

I know that if he is next to me that he is okay…If I still had his baby monitor video camera it would STILL be hooked up, just so I could peek at him when I wanted to.

So just hold your child(ren) a little closer and love on them a little bit more.

I am starting to realize that I need to spend less time with my computer and more time with my son.

He is only this age ONCE.

So starting now I may not be getting your pictures back to you as fast as I did before…because I will be with my son.

Sorry for ALL of the rambling…My heart was just SO heavy tonight.

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

Congrats to CERI!!!

She was the first to comment on the new blog!!!

Here is a picture of her ADORABLE daughter’s most recent session…

WELCOME!!!

Welcome to my blog…

I am a random person and I ALWAYS multi-task…right now I have 2 editing programs open, 4 internet browser windows and within those browsers I have 6 tabs open…

This blog is to talk about life, love, photography and other random things I might throw out there…

So sit back with a glass of wine or if you are like me an ice cold beer and have a good laugh or if needed a good crying session or both, cry because you are laughing SO hard!!

I have to post a picture so I will leave you with this…

This is kinda how I have felt this week…Every thing is CRAZY and I am just holding on for the ride!
