.my.life.

Ok, I proooomise that I will start posting pictures. I am the WORST at posting pictures on here. I understand it's quite simple, but it's difficult enough for me to update everyone with words, let alone pictures. So sit down, read and be thankful for what you get.

Many of you have seen my Facebook and YES, I did a fashion shoot. Those who saw the pictures almost immediately asked why. Well, the reasons were really threefold. One, why not? My friend Katie, who is a photographer, wanted more girls for fashion shoots, so there ya go. Two, I think every girl secretly, deep down inside of her, even if it's in her pinky toe, wants to be a model, actress, singer, etc. And three, I never want my life to be stanate. I never want to do or be the same person every single day. I want to continually challenge myself in new areas and do new things, and let's be honest here, I'm not the model type. Besides the fact that I'm not anorexic, I'm used to being the one operating the camera, not being in front of it. So that in itself was a challenge. Now here's the kicker.



I absolutely LOVED it.



I know! Scary, isn't it?



Katie made me feel so comfortable and it was so easy to work with her and I just absolutely fell in LOVE with it. We're already talking more shoots and I can't wait for them.


Ok, enough of that subject... NeeeEEEXT!


Some of you have recently found out that I resigned from the church awhile ago. Yes, that is true as well.

I feel like this blog is full of shock value.

Anyway, back in October of 2009 I resigned my position of Video Specialist at Southwest Community Church.

I KNOW!

Pick up your jaws. I know, I know... crazy. I loved my job. And that's very true; I loved my job, I loved the people I worked with.... But I did NOT love the hours, the lack of life that I had and the stress load.

I do miss it. I really, truly do. But I also love where I'm at now.

Ready for shock numero tres?

I went back to J & J Ranch Produce. I know, not audio OR video. Or anything I went to school for. I'm doing sales for the company and love it most of the time. It's more challenging on days where I'm tired and when I'm unsure of how to handle the different situations thrown my way, but Jeff and Julie are really helping me out trying to teach me all the ins and outs of the company.

I am planning on doing video filming, editing and production on the side, so don't you worry Dad, all my schooling will not go to waste!

The latest of all news is I moved out from the Streelman house and moved into a Townhouse. Mark and Rachel decided it was time to start a family (YAY BABY!!!), so I moved out so little Mia could have a place to sleep. My best friend Danielle, her sister Allie and I all moved into this beautiful 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom Townhouse. Brand new, never lived in, 2 car garage, 1800 square feet, blah blah blah..... The point is, we love it! I still have a few things over at Mark and Rachel's, like my shoes.... so OK, lots of things... but for the most part, I've moved my stuff over. I am struggling with unpacking because I am OVER moving. Moving every 6-8 months is currently my LEAST favorite past time and I'm very thankful that this will be my last time for at least 12 months.

Now, this last part is for my Grandma, my Mom, and every woman who wants me to get married and populate the earth.


I DID stop dating around.


Yes, your prayers have been answered. No, it wasn't a "phase". I didn't need to have hands layed on me or prayers over me, I just wanted to have fun and enjoy myself.... and other stuff that I don't feel like explaining and since this is my blog, I'm not going to.


I am... "seeing" (??) someone, but it's in the new phases and it's not Facebook worthy yet. So that's pretty much all you get. If you see us out, great, if you don't, you should probably get out more. I enjoy his company, I'm pretty sure he enjoys mine since he hasn't ran away yet, and we're having fun.

You're not getting a name because let's face it, four big shocks in one blog is just too dang much and I'm not sure you can handle that. But know that I'm happy and since you guys love me, that's all you want for me.

Done and done.

That's my new favorite saying, by the way. You'll hear it a lot if you're around me and you know what? It's pretty catchy.

So I think that's the latest update for now. I'll fill you in if I move again, or have any new favorite sayings.

Oh yes, and I'll try to post pictures soon.

Done and done!
