What I know for sure

Jonathan and I have been doing a lot of thinking and talking about the future in recent weeks. We seem to have come to one of those "cross-roads" in life where staying on the path we're on right now isn't going to make us happy, but choosing a new one to follow is very intimidating! My BFF Brittany posted a "What I know for sure" on her blog, and it's inspired me to do the same.

1. I want to have a house. A home. Not just a place we rent and put our things in and attempt to make it our own.
2. One day we will have children. Although we both would like that to be sooner rather than in a few years from now, I know it would be the responsible and practical thing to wait.
3. Life doesn't always go the way you planned.
4. When life doesn't go the way you planned, change your plans.
5. I love coaching and my gymnasts. It's one of those things that can make me angry and and frightened and totally excited at the same time.
6. I am only just begining to understand my role in the tiny world around me. It is helping me to grow every day.
7. I am totally overcome with emotion when I think about being one of the Provincial Team Coaches. What an amazing opportunity. I can't wait to REALLY get into it now that we have our team selected!
8. I love ice cream. I think a stop at the Milky Way is in order today...
9. I love my husband and I know that no matter what life brings our way, we're in it together.

Photography Class

Since January, I've been taking photography classes through a continuing education program at the local collage. It's been so great! I never really knew how to take "good" pictures before, and now I'm on my way to being a better photographer. I've uploaded some of my favoutites from the last couple months to a shutterfly site to share with everyone!

I had planned on putting up the best ones since January....but let's just say I've improved so much that I think my pictures from my first 3 months of classes just aren't very good! I may add them later just so you can see what I mean!

So this week I'm off to take pictures of a variety of mood lighting assignements: "Colour as the Subject", "Warm Tones" and "Cool Tones". Check back next week to see the results!

My Blog!

I have never made a blog before, so bear with me!

I'm hoping this will be a place for me to just get my ideas out, maybe share some of my life goings-on, and of course, my creative endevours!

Recently, I've been taking some photography classes, so once I figure out the best way to post them, I'll share some of my favourites. They're nothing spectacular, but I'm pretty proud of what I've accomplished since I started in January! Next on my list of things to save up for is the camera I want. A Nikon D90. You may have seen the Ashton Kutcher commercial. Believe me, it has nothing to do with my reasoning for purchasing this camera. I just saw the commercial last night, and I've been coveting this camera since it came out in October. I'm also going to get this fabulous camera bag from Dakine. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to get it in the pattern that matches all of my other Dakine luggage, but it'll still be cool I'm sure. http://www.dakine.com/sport-packs/photo/mission-photo/
