Well... i got a puppy..... her name is Sophie... she is so so precious.... so check her out! (I just finished posting pics on my blog and don't wanna do it again... so follow the link! www.fccreativemoments.blogspot.com

In other news... I'm anxiously planning my birthday trip to Disneyland to visit my miss Rachel. I miss her so! We plan to shop, beach, and Disney till our little hearts can't take it anymore... (or until I run out of money). I think it will be good times and a happy birthday for me! I seriously cannot even begin to say how badly I've been wanting to go to Disneyland! I keep planning little escapes and they always get shut down because of financial screw ups not caused by either me or my husband! DRAMA! Anywho... I'm wasted tired.. but I wanted to post something so my adoring public has something to read! GOODNIGHT WORLD!

Well.. I'm posting my first post on her just to say hi and what's up to the world. So my dear friend introduced me to livejournal.com and I am gonna give it a run to see if I can keep up with it and remember to post! Maybe I'll be cool and post regularly unlike my other blog that I tend to neglect. Anywho...

I have been totally revamping my scrapbook room over the last 2 weeks and I'm on the home stretch as far as getting everything organized. Honestly.... I didn't realize how much stuff I had till I pulled it all out in an effort to sort it. I almost started crying because i was so overwhelmed. Luckily, I came up with a few good solutions with some creativity and the help of scrapbook.com's forums of ideas and I feel like it's gonna be a whole lot better than it was.

On the photography front... I did a shoot about 2 weeks ago for the high school wrestling team where Alex (my hubby) is the assistant coach. Needless to say, it was an absolute disaster! First off, Alex forgot his keys so we couldn't get into the wrestling room to set up. Then, When I finally did get everything set up, I could not for the life of me get the wrinkles out of my back drop. Followed by my noticing I forgot my extension cords so I had to move my lights wierd just to reach a plug! Then to top things off, when I finally started snapping the pictures, little did I know, my camera was on manual focus when I thought it was on auto. So every stinkin picture I took was a big messy blur!!! I came home and looked at them and honestly I wanted to cry! So lucky for me, my brother in law (the head coach) wanted to redo them anyway in different uniforms and with all the coaches there since some were missing and show the new vinyl on the wall for their team pictures. So tomorrow I'm gonna make an attempt to do it all over again! I enjoy nothing more than taking pictures of young boys in spandex!!!

As far as mothering goes, my precious children are both going through this really frustrating phase where they both stay up past midnight, then get up super early... don't hardly nap... and are therefor incredibly grumpy through out the day. Why they are like this right now, i really don't know! I'm just praying it ends soon!

So for now... I'm off to bed, in hopes of getting some sleep so i can actually tell if my pictures are out of focus tomorrow! TOODLES!
