Do you ever wonder...

...what might have been?

Seriously. Think about it.

Think about saying that is to every action there is a reaction. That is so true...and it makes a lot of sense.

I often find myself wondering a lot. Wondering about how if I didn't do one thing, then another thing probably would have never happened.

For example...say that I never left home to go to school out of state. I wonder what I would be doing right now. I wonder how my parents would treat me if I stayed at home and went to school. I wonder if it would have any effect on my relationship with them.

Then I look at it this way...if I had never gone to school out of state, I would have never met my husband, Kenneth. And I probably wouldn't be the person who I am today.

Which is something that I could never replace...so, it's a good thing that I went out of state to go to school.

Then I think about what if I majored in something else in college. I probably would not have wasted all of my parents money, going to school for something that I'm not even doing right now. Which is okay...they understand, and I always have my career in hair as something to fall back on.

I think about what my body would be like if I were still a dancer...

Ugh, I don't know if my body could handle that anymore...

I think about how I would feel if I hadn't eaten those 7 dounut holes that I've had today. (4 with my breakfast and coffee this morning and 3 during my lunch break).

And the chocolate milkshake I had last night at McDonald's.

And the...oh, nevermind.


No matter what we do, we are always going to wonder. We're always going to think.

And you know what I think?

I think I think too much.

Old Pictures

I was going through some pictures on my computer and I couldn't help but notice how much I've changed as a photographer. Now, I don't call myself a hardcore photographer. I like to take pictures. Nothing wrong with that, right? So, I wanted to share some of my older pictures with you all...



First of all, it's important that you all know that Halloween is, next to Christmas, my favorite holiday. I do not know why...actually, I do. There has always been something about Halloween that has fascinated me my whole entire life. I love everything about it. And I mean everything. My mom gave me this pumpkin when I went away for school. It was the very first photo I ever took with my camera.



This was taken at the Monkey Barrel, a bar/pizza joint here in Gainesville. My brother-in-law and his band played there one night a couple of years ago. I have a thing for beer signs, for some reasons.



Especially ones that glow.





I love how you can see my reflection in the bottles. Don't care for the beer, but the bottles were pretty.



This is the shed at my in-laws.



Our nephew, Kristopher. He wants nothing more than to be like his uncle Kenneth. And that terrifies his mother.



Such a ham.



This is my favorite tree in the state of Alabama. I love this tree.



When we go to visit his parents in L.A. (Lower Alabama), something always changes with Kenneth. He gets in his "zone". It's like the little boy comes out of him every time we go there. It's cute...and quite entertaining.







Kenneth's dad, Ken. He's a great man. He works hard, loves his kids, his wife, his dog and most importantly, me. Hahaha. No, seriously. I am very fond of Kenneth's dad. He's a Vietnam veteran, and has a purple heart stuffed in his underwear drawer. How he got it? No one knows. Not even Kenneth's mom.

I'll get it out of him one day.


Goodnight!

Didn't Forget About You!

New Post coming this afternoon!
