Good things come in small packages

well, first off, we are no longer getting the house. but, its okay, im not bent out of shape about it. we have decided to save more money and then when the time feels right we will try again.

on a super awesome note. my Nikon D90 is shipped and will be here by the 14th (but hopefully it comes saturday, i hate waiting) and Happy Valentines Day to moi!!!! the hubs is also happy about my camera too, he thinks hes getting high class facebook photos, ahhhhh hes so funny. but its a good thing i already have my lens so i can snap away when it gets here. i was going to get the 50mm f/1.8 AF bbuutt i got the "nifty fifty" 50mm f/1.8 manual. i decided i want to push myself to ONLY be in M so i dont get comfortable having the camera do everything for me. (cant'cha tell im super excited?!?!)

and as of other ventures in my life, me and a couple of my BG girls are doing The Love Dare.
Day 1:
i did have one slip up. he was just trying to be a negative person all day and had said something so i said im just trying to be nice and he said "i dont need you to be nice" so i kinda yelled "im your wife, im supposed to be nice" and he just kinda shut up and had a shocked look on his face. lol
Day 2:
my husband blames me a lot for stupid little things so its hard trying to not be defensive, but i think i am doing pretty good so far.
Day 3:
today is the day where we have to buy our spouse something just to say "im thinking of you" well how do you do that when you really dont HAVE money? And he just got his head/tail light covers so he really doesnt want anything. I guess I could get him a snickers or something (lol)

Any suggestions?

Days=Eternity!

so any day now and i will be in online shopping heaven <3
it seems like its taking forever to get the items i pined after for over a year. and in a matter of days, they will be mine.
pure bliss.
in the meantime i am gaining skill and knowledge for my future journey.

anywho.

ermm well... that was short

so i guess i spoke too soon. i had to officially quit my job yesterday. it was a sad day, i really liked it there and i met some awesome people. my husband just found out he is going to the NCO board and will be getting his E-5 so our scheduals are conflicting.
buuuuuutttttt....
he did bribe me with hopes of my own studio XD so i guess now i have more time to browse the interwebz in search of my inspirations and i wanted to take up knitting so i can make MY OWN PROPS.

  so when in doubt, stay calm, blog on. yep.

Mama Hustle.

i never thought going back to work after being off for a year and a half would be so hard. i have officially started my training, job shadowing and job assisting at Mosaic the 3rd of this month and i find myself burned out at the end of the day. not to mention my 1 year old running at me when i walk through the door to give me hugs and kisses. breaks my heart cause she doesnt know any different from me being with her 24/7 to now working all the time.

but, i will make it. so will she.
cause thats how we roll ;)

Happy New Years!!!

I could just implode

so flippin happy right here! ive been drooling over getting a new dslr camera for just about.... oh, FOREVER! well i have been looking more and more and brought the idea up to the hubs today and we agreed i could get one with tax moneys!!! woop woop *does a little happy dance* so now my dilemma is what to get. so many choices and when your indecisive its a daunting task. really. im dead set on a nikon; there is literally no swaying that decision. so now to chose.....
Nikon D90

Nikon D5000

Nikon D3100

yeah i know, i know. they look pretty much the same right?  well im leaning more towards the d5000 the more and more i read reviews. but there is still 2-3 more months til i decide.... so who knows, i might just change my mind again.
shocker right?! no.

Since its been so long

a lot is happening in my life right now. i mean. A LOT!

i am in the process of moving so now so i have been uber stressed. it seems the only thing that can take my mind off of this huge transition is crafting and now that all of my belongings are packed away i cant use that as an escape. just keep telling myself 'one more week, one more week and my life will be put back together!'
aniya is 10 months and crawling/climbing/terrorizing everything in sight. if shes quiet, shes in trouble.
jade is in the process of getting disenrolled from school. shes happy she gets a week off before she has to go to her new school in colorado. and boy is she full of energy.....
well, here are a few pictures from aniyas 10 month photoshoot!
