June 30, 2011

I haven't posted in what feels like forever.  So much has changed and I'm in a happier state of mind.  Before I get into the deep mumbo jumbo I will start off with some photos of my friend Kraig who let me take some portraits of him yesterday.  After a long depression and not having any motivation to photograph or work on any of my projects, a spark rekindled the flame and now I'm ready to finish it.



The last one is just a silly I-make-this-face-because-I-don't-know-what-to-do shot and not part of my project.  There are a few more I want to edit and perhaps I will post them.

So a few weeks ago I went to Disney World.  There were 12 of us all together: Me, my mom, dad, Diana, Sean, Pete, Sam, Kraig, Winnie, my aunt, grandma & grandpa.  Granted, the "adults" didn't really go to the parks as much as us kids did.  It was the best vacation I have had in a long time...And believe me, I needed it.  I am so grateful.

Us kids in the Magic Kingdom on our last night there.

I lost my job a week ago, but for every bad thing comes a good one, right?  Well, today Eric and I have an appointment (maaaaaybe two) to see a storefront across the street from the bar.  If rent is right and we like it, we may have a new career soon!  There's a place down the block from the bar that has more potential than the one across the street.  It was already a coffee shop, so the kitchen may already have what we would need.  Let's cross our fingers, shall we?

I don't think I am going to get into the "deep" stuff that has been going on in my life.  I am just really happy with everyone in my life and to making new friends, fixing problems between old friends and really just being honest with my feelings.  Right now, I'm working on something for me, and while I will still be there for anyone who needs me, it's time to make myself happy instead of waiting for someone else to do it for me.
