Just a stroll

I went walking through Clovis tonight (Penny and I) and found myself on Gidding Street - I've always liked Gidding Street. It's so well taken care of, it was about 7:30 and the sun was setting, I took a few photos, so beautiful! 

Colton at 7 Weeks

I went to visit Joni yesterday, I don't know if you remember but I photographed Colton's birth back in July, can't believe he's already 7 weeks old - time goes by way too fast. He sure is the sweetest little boy!

And so he sleeps

This is Mac-Attack; he's my boo! Penny, Dexter and Dooney tend to favor Drew, but not Mac, Mac is loyal to ME! My sweet little boy!

from this evening

Not in the mood to post, but a few from the fair.

Smudges galore on my 14-24!

Hubbster!

(Overdue post)  If he's not working or flying he's writing masters papers, other than house hold chores he never has time to just go play, I however have SO MUCH time! LOL!  He's in between classes right now and not nearly as stressed out, he hung out with me the pups and I took a few photos..  What a good dogger dad! 

tons of schnauts

so we have this hole in our fence and Dexter aka the 'serial pisser' always sticks his head through it and harasses the neighbors and their dogs...  today was no different, you'll never find him minding his own business.

Happy 15th

I've never been to a Quinceanera before and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I learned all about them and why they happen, it's a beautiful experience to be honest. I've been to weddings that haven't been this nice, it was just beautiful. She had so many people there celebrating her day, the day she went from a child to a woman. 

I was honored to be there and of course brought my camera and snapped a few pictures. 

what I've noticed about a schnauzer...

We've been getting so much rain lately in Clovis, I love it. (maybe not so much rain to you, but for us HUGE!) considering we've been in a no rain slumber since last October! I went out and took some photos of the pups this evening, my little boss (i love them) and they love taking photos, especially Dooney. The 'non schnauzer' dogger belongs to my friend, still puppy sitting but she's such a great dog. *What I've noticed about a schnauzer, while having another non schnauzer in the house.*  She minds her own business, comes up every now and then for love, doesn't bark, doesn't chew the house apart, doesn't make a mess out of her food bowl, doesn't steal toilet paper, lufa's or go through the trash AND doesn't steal food off the coffee table (well, if you're within sight she doesn't.) LOVE IT! 

because I hate facebook uploading

Squadron friends

I went out with some friends in my husbands squadron this evening, she's got the cutest twins ever (it was about an hr. into photo taking that I realized they were twins) Momma's getting ready to have a little girl - 3 to 2, the boys are out numbered!

A friend and all her beauty!

No more stitches

Mac had his surgery done nearly two weeks ago, I've called numerous times to get the dang dog in to have them taken out, always busy. The last 3 days especially, Drew had been on my arse about it 'you gonna get Macs stitches out, EVERY DAMN NIGHT' - last night I put my head phones on, tried to make it clear I didn't want to hear his voice. I called again this morning, they said 'no problem, bring him when you can today' (i've heard that a few times earlier this week and when I call right before IM coming in, the office is closing early or they had an emergency appt, etc.) something, anything happens... so whatever.

I took a suture kit home from work today and removed them myself. No more complaining Drew and happy megan. (IM sure happy Mac as well.)

Puppy sitting

Dog sitting my friends pup, Gabby. Big ole' sweetie she is. My little terrors don't stop harassing her though, I bet she'll be excited to make it outta here. LOL

And of course miss penny and her smug mug!

Just one of those weeks.

It's been awhile since I actually wrote in my journal, I think pictures say so much more than words, but sometimes words just can't describe what exactly IM feeling.  I haven't seen a counselor in nearly 10 weeks (base doc PCS'd out of Cannon) and I've been feeling quite irritable lately. I don't have that person to just gripe it all out, cry uncontrollably or scream till my voice can't take it anymore. It's been hard. I went to Clovis Counseling today (because Tricare finally got my referral correct) and filled out all my new paperwork as a (start up patient) BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! (is all I have to say about that) they had me walk into this back room and take an assessment on the computer, they kept asking me questions like 'in the last 30 days, have you felt agitated, tired, angry, restless, etc.' I wanted to take that stupid computer and the stupid voice coming from it and toss it on the ground, that stupid computer voice frustrated me so much. I guess it was at that time when I realized it was probably a good thing I was there and the appointment was in perfect timing.

I went into work today (which I love, love my job and love babies) *as long as I don't have to take them home.* anywho, went into work today and my :crappy: windows based computer that IM forced to work on at work decides to freeze up, not run scripts, shut down, (blue screen of death) I know you know what is - ARGR!  It's just been one of those days/weeks, but I feel like it's been building up and this appt.. is way past due.

I've been looking at new cameras lately, I'm interested in the Sony NEX-5 (don't get me wrong, i love my Nikon, but having to lug that big ole' camera out to snap some shots of my dogs or something funny, I pass it up simply because IM too lazy to fuss with it). I think if I had a little handy point & shoot, I'd capture a lot more in my little life. 

(Also looking @ Nikon's new 35mm G) I think I could have some fun times with that.

I'd like to go out with my headphones, ipod, camera and something pretty. I have all these friends and they live in all these amazing and beautiful places throughout the world and IM here... in Clovis, NM. It's so discouraging sometimes, I lack inspiration and can't find it. I look around me and all I see is 'blah' (unless it's been severely processed in photoshop) places in this world can come off a point and shoot camera and be out of this world gorgeous, I just don't see it here. The husband is rarely here and that makes it suck that much more, family lives far away - just BLAH! :( 

... IM done complaining. 

Clovis rainbows

Thomas made it home :)

My absolute FAVORITE sessions EVER! These two missed each other so much. I love that she embraced EVERY moment. She missed him so much, and you could absolutely see it.
