Wonderland



I have been severly lacking in my blog time lately. Life has just been busy busy. We are beginning to feel "really" settled in our new home having finally closed all the doors on our "house from hell." Sometimes there is just nothing better than deleting numbers, texts, pictures from your phone to feel completely cleansed of someone. I am so thankful to finally be looking toward the future now and not having to watch my back in fear of crazy people.

Life has been full of unexpected turns and events, does it ever NOT seem that way in our family? But we are manuevering through it. I am finding myself enjoying more and more time being at home and finally got my crockpot out after many months packed away for a homecooked meal. Neeley put it to good use the other night too with an amazing roast! I have been dabbling in crafts again which makes me feel calm and happy. Thankfully too I have booked two weddings, not Starlight related, with the works packages which I will begin shooting sessions for on Thursday. I am excited for the opportunity to shoot in different settings and add to my portfolio.

In other news: my brother Ryan, his wife Darrah, and their munchkin Peyton have orders from the Army to move to Oahu, Hawaii in June 2013. Mom has had a difficult time with the idea of them being so far away but I am trying to convince her it makes the dream a a hawiian vacation more real! I know Ryan and Darrah are excited about the move so we are very excited for them!


A couple of weeks ago Drew and I took his niece to Wonderland. Wonderland is a fantastic little amusement park here in Amarillo. It can truly satisfy your need for a little thrill in your life with just a 10 mintute drive vs. the 6 hours to Six Flags. His niece has been stuck at home with her mom who is rehabbing from her bad wreck and hasn't had the opportunity for much fun this summer. We met his step-sister and her kids too.  We had such a blast there! It did make me feel old because threre are definitely swirling rides I cannot ride now without getting a headache and feeling completely nauseas. Drew was having a hard time with some rides as well, we are old people. The rides we made it through were fun though! I am wanting to go back with our friends so Drew and I can actually ride some together instead of being split up with his nieces and nephews. Overall we had a great Friday night spent at Wonderland with his family!



I love this picture even though it is compltely blurry. Drew is holding on for DEAR LIFE. He did not like this one.
