My Life In 30 Days- Day 19

Day 19- A picture of yourself when you were little.
This is a picture of me and my Grandpa Sonnenfelt when I was about 9 months old. He died when I was only 5 years old, but he still lives in all of us.













This is a picture of me and my dad when I was probably 7 or 8 years old. One of my favorites of us.

My Life In 30 Days- Day 18

Day 18- A picture of one of your biggest insecurities.
I'd say my profile is my biggest insecurity. My jaw line is really messed up, and it's something that only surgery can fix. So either I live with it, or get surgery... I'll probably just deal with it. =]

My Life In 30 Days- Day 17

Day 17- A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently.
Jayden Chase Loch- October 29, 2010- I'm not sure there is anything that can change your life as much as having a baby. Jayden has quickly turned my world upside down, but in the best way possible. I do miss being able to run out of the house in a moments notice, or going out on date nights without having to worry about a babysitter, but I dont miss it nearly as much as I love him. His little smiles and coos, and laughs warm my heart and feed my soul.

My Life In 30 Days- Day 16

Day 16- A picture of someone who inspires you.
I can't choose just one person, because it's really a two-person thing. My parents inspire me. Both of them. Not only with how much they have both accomplished seperately, but what they have accomplished together. They met on a blind date over 34 years ago. They have been married 33 years and counting. I have NEVER once seen them fight. They are amazing parents and have stuck by my brother and I even when we didn't follow the path they wanted for us. Both of them are amazing, and I could not have asked for better parents.

Editing

So I'm beginning to realize that it's not all about the camera, a lot of it has to do with editing. In fact, I'm sure that if you even have a really crappy camera (like my point and shoot), with good editing you can get just as good of photos.

Now, that's not to say that I don't love my new camera, it's just hard to learn. So I've got a lot of learning to do, and what seems like no time to do it in. Hopefully I can find the time soon because I'm really anxious to get out there. Until then, I'm just going to have to take what shots I can, and focus on the thing I do know how to do, edit.


Goodnight world.♥

My Life In 30 Days- Day 15

Day 15- Something you want to do before you die.
I'd really like to get my bachelors degree. I have put off doing it for so long, but I'd really like to be able to say that I am a college graduate. I'm not sure what I'll major in, probably something like Business Management, but just being able to graduate would be amazing.

Canon Love.

My new love, a Canon Rebel XS1000♥



I can't wait to get out and take pictures!!!

My Life In 30 Days- Day 14

Day 14- A picture of someone you can't imagine your life without
I chose AJ. It may seem corney, but I honestly don't know what I would be doing without him in my life. I know it wouldn't be nearly as good though. He really is my best friend. He motivates me to be better, try my hardest, and push myself, more than anyone ever has.

A new beginning, sort of...

I'm sitting with Jayden, in his room, while he's in his bouncy chair, on my new computer. I love the feeling of having my own computer, not to mention it's pretty cool. haha. I once again have ALL of my pictures, which is amazing. One of these days when I am baby free, I'm going to go through all of my pictures and orgainze them better. That's one thing I should've put on my New Year's Resolutions, but didn't... Oh well, maybe I'll start it this year, and put it on my list for next year.

I started P90x today. Ouchie. But it's going to be totally worth it, I can already tell...

I think Jayden is going through another growth spurt. He slept SO much today and last night, that's the only thing I can think it would be.

Southwest was having a sale on tickets to California, so I bought a roundtrip ticket to San Diego for May 3-7. My mom will be there to take care of Grandpa and Gramps, and I'd really like to see my friends in San Diego, so the timing was right. Only downside is that I think this is going to make the trip to Vegas for Nate & Alyssa's bachelor/ette party a no go. But I suppose we'll see.

AJ wants to go to Alliance this weekend to take some stuff back there, and I want to go because I should be getting my camera tomorrow, and then I could take more pictures, but I'd really like to pick up an extra shift at work to pay for my plane ticket. I'm torn. I think I'm just going to pick up the shift and try to make some money. He's not going to be on this job much longer, so I may as well do it while I can. The guy whose job he's working is coming back the beginning of March, so then AJ will be back to sparatic work. Boo. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

Alright, I'm going to get lil man ready for bath/bed. Goodnight!

My Life In 30 Days- Day 13

Day 13- A picture of your favorite band/artist
I chose Taylor Swift. I love so many different bands, but I have come to realize that I ADORE Taylor Swift. All of her songs are great. And they can always put me in a good mood.

ambition

I feel like I've got a lot of ambition lately. I wish I could go to work more, so I could make more of my own money, and I'm trying to find ways to do that without taking away from AJ working.
I am SO anxious to start my photography website, but I kind of want to wait until I get some more photos to do so, but I'm *so* excited that I think I won't be able to hold back for too much longer.
I get my camera, a Rebel XS 1000D on Wednesday/Thursday and want to get out and take pictures the SECOND it gets here, but seeing as I want to be a lifestyle photographer, I have to wait until I can find someone to take pictures of... I'm hoping I can convince AJ to take Jayden to the park so I can take pictures of them.
I get my laptop on Tuesday/Wednesday... I can't wait to have my own computer again. I love AJ for letting me use his while I saved up to get my own, but it's SO different when it's your own. I can put all of my pictures on it, even the ones from my desktop... I can download music freely. I just think that it's going to be a great, almost "life changing" thing, which sounds weird, but just having my own "space" will be great. =]
I'm really excited to start P90x in the next couple of weeks (just waiting on the discs from Nate). I think it will really motivate me to stay on top of my fitness. I've always said that I cannot diet for the life of me, if i see something that I want to eat, I'll probably eat it. Haha. At least I'm a realist when it comes to that. So working out is my only option. And I know that AJ really wants to start working out, but has a hard time finding time to go to the gym, so maybe he'll be able to do it with me. =]

There's just so much going on it feel like, and I'm actually really enjoying it. This whole photography thing has made me SO excited, I cannot wait. I have never been this excited, for this long, in a while, at least when it comes to a career, and I'm really hoping that I can make it into a career.

This year, like last year, seems to have a lot in store!

AHHHH!

My Life in 30 Days- Day 12

Day 12- A picture of something you love
I chose a picture of Jayden smiling. I LOVE when he just looks at me, or AJ and just smiles, it lights up my day. It could be the worst day, and then he smiles and it's all better.

My Life in 30 Days- Day 11

Day 11- A picture of something you hate.
I hate the distance I am from my "homes." My home, where my family is, in Hayward, my home, where my friends are, in Vista. I hate that when I finally get to visit California that I have to chose between Hayward and Vista. =[

My Life in 30 Days- Day 10

Day 10- A picture of you and the person you do the most messed up things with.
I'm a realtively goodytwoshoes, so I dont have many things to choose from, but I'd have to say that Jenn was probably the winner in this category. From freezing lindseys underwear, to stealing my 21st bday glasses...

My Life in 30 Days- Day 9

Day 9- A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.
I chose my Lindsey Bell. She has MOST DEFINITELY gotten me through the most. One INTENSE breakup, introduced me to the love of my life. Best Auntie to my son. She's *always* been there for me, no matter what. Love you Bell!

My Life in 30 Days- Day 8

Day 8- A picture that makes you laugh.
Jayden and his holdup. Hahhaaha

My Life in 30 Days- Day 7

Day 7- A picture of your most prized item.
I chose my photo albums. I would just say my pictures in general are my most prized items, but that would require me taking a picture of two computers.

My Life in 30 Days- Day 6

Day 6- A picture of someone you would want to trade places with for one day.
I chose Ellen Degeneres. Honestly, I stole this idea from Lindsey, but I would SO love to spend a day in her life. She seems SO carefree, and like her ultimate goal is to have fun, and I would LOVE that.

My Life in 30 Days- Day 5

Day 5- A picture of one of your favorite memories.
I chose my after-babyshower-party at Fox&Hound watching the Nebraska game. I LOVE these girls and they MADE my weekend.

My Life in 30 Days- Day 4

Day 4- A picture of your night.
We were out and about ALL day, so when we came home, we just relaxed, ate some pizza, and watched a movie.♥

My Life in 30 Days- Day 3

Day 3- A picture of the cast from your favorite show.
Obviously I chose Gilmore Girl's. I LOVE this show, I have seen each episode at least 10 times.

My Life in 30 Days- Day 2

Day 2- A picture of you and a person you have been close with for a while.

I chose Jenn. I have known her since freshman year of college. Although our friendship has seemingly grown apart, and we are not as close as we once were, I wholeheartedly believe that she knows me better than most people, I'd say there's only two people that know me better.
We've been through a lot together, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for our friendship.

So I've already broken a couple of my resolutions, surprise.

I still can put them in an album. =]

I did decide to take up photography semi-professionally... we'll see how that goes... I'm kind of excited/nervous for it though.

Ok, baby is sleeping, so I'm going to head off to bed while I still can. =]
