I have been slacking on blogging but I'm finally back. I have so much to talk about of what has happened in the last couple of months.
My last post I spoke about starting a photography business. I have been working little by little with a few clients and so far it's been so much fun. I'm hoping to continue and get more business as time goes by. I will be shooting at my first wedding and probably my only for a good while. I'm doing it for someone who is like family and I couldn't say no. It's an awesome feeling to know that someone trust you to take photographs at their wedding. Here are a few pictures I am very proud of. I hope to share more in the future.

I attended our 10 year high school reunion last month. It was fun! I saw many faces I hadn't seen in years. Well other than Facebook. It was great catching up with everyone and chatting after so long. So many enjoyed themselves that they were asking for us to have a get together every year. We shall see. I'm glad I had a chance to attend our reunion. It's a once in a life time experience. I just can't believe ten years have gone by since I graduated high school. Time flies. I felt so old just thinking about our reunion. I don't regret going though.

I had a little scare back in August. I was having a bad pain in my knee that was getting hard for me to make any kind of movement. It was difficult doing my daily routines like going up and down the stairs, getting in and out of the car, even walking. After a couple of weeks with the pain, I finally decided to make an appointment with an Orthopedic doctor to have it checked. It was a difficult two weeks. I had a check up with a general doctor the year before but I didn't get x-rays because I financially couldn't afford it. With time the pain went away until August but the pain was worse than I had ever felt. I was scared because I had done some research and I kept reading possible arthritis. Which freaked me out! I couldn't wait to see the Dr. to confirm whether it was arthritis or not. My appointment finally arrived, I was so nervous to get the news from the Dr. I expected the worse. Once the results came in, the Dr. walked in and the first thing that came out of his mouth was "Well it's not arthritis". I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I was almost in tears. It was great to hear those words. I can't remember the exact words he said but it was something regarding my muscles were weak and it was causing the pain. They had me do therapy for a month. It felt better after some time. So far I'm good but it's taken me some time to get back on track to training for my Tutu runs. I became extremely lazy after not jogging for about a month. No excuses, I am healthy and need to get back on it.

I still can't believe this but I have decided to return to college. I have been talking about returning but never made the first step until recently. Since I decided to look into it a bit late, classes had already started but I had a chance to sign up for a second start class. I spoke to a counselor and found out that I had quite a few credits from back when I went from 2002-2005. I have about 17 credits left to finish my Associates Degree. I hope to get it over with in a year or so and then move on to bigger things. I signed up for a Philosophy class and just turned in my first assignment. I haven't done homework in years! I'm so nervous but it's time for me to finish what I started years ago.

This past weekend I planned a surprise party for my husband's 30th birthday. It was a great outcome. My main concern obviously was my husband finding out but he tells me he had no clue. A few people slipped a few hints but I played along with it so well and threw him off. It worked! The day of the party I was going crazy because I couldn't shop for decorations until he left. I planned out an afternoon for him with one of our good friends. He took him out to the shooting range and did a few things after which helped with stalling him for a few hours. The weather wasn't the best, we had a lot of rain that day which didn't make it any easier. Luckily, I had great friends and family who helped me and made it happen. He was shocked when he got home. It was priceless! You only turn 30 once, right? I had to make it special for him. He enjoyed himself! Mission accomplished!
