Life just keeps on Changing!

Isn't life exciting? A big part of me loves the reliable...knowing what to expect and when...but another part of me lives for the excitement of life changes. A few months ago mac started looking at schools for Air Traffic Control and since there are only 29 in the country, our options were slightly limited. However, Mac knew in like .5 seconds after looking at the list of schools which one he wanted to go to. University of Alaska Anchorage. Booya! Hahaha, surprisingly that was not my initial reaction. After all, have you ever talked to someone who says "you know, one day I'd really love to live in Alaska." I sure haven't. Anyway, when I asked Mac why Alaska he simply said he thought it would be really cool to live there. So, after a few weeks I jumped on board and am actually pretty excited for this next adventure in our lives! We are still waiting for his official acceptance into the school but the admissions lady basically said he was a shoe in with his experience in the military, private pilots training, etc. So we wait.....she said we should know around the beginning of December so keep your fingers crossed for us!

On to other items, life is going well for us. Work is pretty crazy for me and there are a lot of changes going on there as well. Sometimes I come home at night and I am so mentally exhausted that all I want to do is eat dinner and go to bed. It is so rewarding though. There are always hard clients who I have to try really hard to "leave at work" and not take the worry home with me. But at the same time, there are clients who I am just so proud of. I had a client today who was given her trial home placement with her children and she has worked so hard to get to where she is. It somehow just makes it all worth it in that moment when you see the look on her face when she hears the news.

Photography is more fun than ever--I just wish I had more time!! After working a 40 hour week I'm pretty protective of my "free time" and have to really work my editing around Mac's schedule so we can actually have some time to hang out together. I've learned so much in this first year of Photography and I can't wait to upgrade my camera and equipment and increase my knowledge of the art. Thanks to all my amazing clients who gave me a shot before I really even knew what I was doing, and who came back again this season for more photos. You guys are great!

So anyway, I usually post images on my photography blog but I figure I'll post a few favorites from the fall season on here too. Enjoy!
