23 weeks and flying!

I am now at the 23 week mark. So crazy! 17 or less weeks to go! Rory and I have been doing wonderfully! We went to the circus tonight with all of my family and had a blast, although the animals really got my allergies going, but all in all it was a very fun time! I haven't really mentioned much about how my photography business is doing, not on this blog of mine at least, but I will fill you in. I decided to take my photography to the next level, where I have always wanted it to be. I now officially own Shory Photography. What is nice about what I am doing is that I do not need a business license. That saved me a lot of time and money. I have done five shots these last two weeks, and three more coming the next three weeks. Great start! I started advertising on KSL.com, and had word of mouth clients as well. The process was a little difficult, but now that I have all the legal stuff down, I am set to go! I have been doing a lot of senior shots. I offered a package and have been charging $50.00 for them. I also have a family shot coming up this next week, and two girls that are friends with eachother are having me do their seniors, singles, and friend shots. I have been doing so great, and I am so proud of my self! I have signed up for the next online photography course, and been reading my life away. I know most of what I need to, but I also know that every little thing counts. My accomplishment has been fulfilled, and I have no one to thank but my self, my wonderful husband for his support, and my family for being there. Rory and I will be getting our tax return next friday. We are getting a lot more than I expected, but with the tax return, the money we have been getting off of puppies, and my photography shoot money, we have been doing wonderful. For my Valentines present, Rory bought me my DREAM camera. Canon XSI 450D. It is incredible. I want to say what I got him, but I know he will read this, sneaky boy! I know he will love it though! We are also putting money aside for baby Logans circumsition since the insurance no longer covers that, and we both decided it is what we want for him. We have our crib, and every thing else. Now the baby shower comes, and I know with how many people are coming, we will be getting more than enough. I recently stumbled upon some of Rory and I's pictures that are on some bodies public blog. I really don't mind that she has them on there, but what I do mind is that when I took her and her daughters pictures, and after our recent dropping of our friendship, I respected her wishes to take them off of my FB. I am just clueless as to why it was such a deal that hers must be taken down, but mine our up there for the world to see. I started building my portfolio, and really want to add some of the pictures I took of her and her daughter in it, but I know a big bussle will be the out come of it. Although, I do own the pictures and copyright to them, and I can not get into any legal trouble, the trouble she will cause me will not be worth it in the end. Plus, I know I have many clients to come that can be added into my portfolio. Logan weighs just over a pound now, and is really growing more and more each day. I am a little worried, as my weight is very slowly growing, but my doctor says I don't have much to worry about, because Logan is healthy as can be. My starting weight when I got pregnant was 142, when I hit 15 weeks, I was down to 127, now I am not 135, but should be at 158. Scary right? Well according to the docs, it is fine for now, that is. I am so excited to be a mom, and Rory is extatic to be a dad. He is going to be amazing, and I am so happy to have him be my support system. I watch these shows about single moms, and I can never understand how they do it. It has to be tough on a person physically, but emotionally as well. I think any one who has there companion with them through the pregnancy and parenting, should be charishing life because they were blessed with some one that loves them enough to stick by and do what ever they can for you. Life is such a silly thing, and can really boggle my brain thinking about it. How did I end up with such an amazing husband, and family? I am not sure, but I know that I have seriously been blessed. Countless times in my life, I have had people tell me horrible things about my self, things I have never found true, but I now realize the meaning behind it. These same people have been looking up to me and everything I do, and it is in plain sight. It truly flatters me that I can be such an inspiration to someone. My life has had its up's and downs, but in reality, the only thing you can do during the tough times is keep looking ahead. The road always continues, and I believe that this is the reason my life has turned out so perfectly. Talk to you all soon!
