...Another door opens...

When this door closed, life as I knew it changed. Deep down, I was extremely mad and very emotional (probably had something to do with the fact that I had just given birth to my second child). I was totally unsure and didn't know what to do next. Now, I am 100% convinced that it was a blessing and that it did happen for a reason. Reasons only He knows. After lots of praying and dreaming dreams. I'm so excited about walking through a new door in my life. With Mark being on deployment, me staying at home with the girls and having the help/support of my immediate family, I have decided to go back to school full time and study photography. I just singed up for a full load and will be staring this fall. So, English, Humanities, Speech, and Photography... here I come! :)
Why photography? After having two sweet girls and taking about million snapshots of them, I have come to realize that those snapshots I take are a passion. Just ask my husband... I'm always the annoying person taking too many pictures. I want to create art and memories to cherish for a lifetime. Every time we've had our family pictures taken, I get so excited, I just can't wait to see them. I've been inspired by other photographers. I'm confident in myself and know that somewhere deep down, I also have a creative seed. It just needs a little water to grow. I would love to one day take beautiful pictures that will make others smile on the inside and out. I know it's not going to happen over night and that it could take a few years to up and running so I'm going to do my best to be patient with myself. It's going to be a long road of learning, experimenting, and maybe even a little sweat but I know I can do it. I could not be more excited then I am right now.
Now, if only Wednesday could hurry up and get here so I can play with my new DSLR camera!! Thanks husband! ;)
