You might be a big fish in a little pond, doesn't mean you've won...

Today I woke up, emailed my new boss (I'll elaborate on that here in a minute), drank two cups of coffee, ate some breakfast biscuits, watched Ellen and the View and now I'm writing a blog and afterwards I'm going to mow the grass. I've been extremely thrilled with my life lately. 
A few weeks ago, my uncle Brad threw a Crab-Boil:
Late in the evening my grandfather and his friends stayed up talking about all kinds of things from their medications to their views on the war (which being former Marines you can imagine how they feel about the war) their views on politics and the upcoming presidential election.
They're all very opinionated and as you can tell by their body-language, very hard of hearing. lol
Aaron, my brother-in-law, sitting in a broken chair enjoying his spicy crabs...
As you can see it was a family event: Leah, Gracie, Jodi, and Dad enjoying their crabs....

Brad's not very shy on the seasoning...it's been known to sting every cut on your hand and burn any eye it comes in contact with.

A couple of weekends ago (you can tell I've been needing to post a new blog for a while now) my sister, Chrystal, and her husband, Aaron, needed help cleaning out all of the things that were salvageable in their home in Bridge City, so my mom, dad, sister-Jodi, cousin-Gracie, Uncle Glenn, Aunt Cyndi, cousin-Holly all pitched in and here are some shots from that day.

My Uncle Glenn was using a technique to see what the sex of Chrystal's baby is going to be. He's been right 48 out of 49 times, so if his calculations are correct, she will be having a boy.
It was nice after cleaning all day to relax and be treated to some crawfish etoufee by dad.

New News:
I have recently found a job working at The Motherhood Center in Houston, near the Galleria.
The Motherhood Center is a spa-type of atmosphere for expecting mothers. They have massages, yoga, classes to learn about what to expect and how to prepare for the new baby, organic clothing, bedding, etc. for your new baby, and as you may suspect - photography.
My job is to assist the photographer in the center, Jenny Williams. I'll be editing pictures, helping with photo-shoots, getting coffee, cleaning, helping with the front desk and eventually taking on some photo-assignments myself. 
So far, so good, everyone in the center is really professional and really nice. Especially the owner, Gabby and her husband Gary. 
My regular schedule there will be Thursday-Saturdays.

And since I've been working so close to the Galleria, I've been able to hop on over to my friend, Kylee's apartment to spend some time with her...which is always nice. :)

There is so much more to talk about, but then how could I keep you coming back for more if I gave it ALL away??

Next post teaser:
I will be posting pictures and stories from the Renaissance Festival, I will add more songs to my playlist, I will talk about good movies, food, and tv shows that I'm in love with.
I will change you.

I leave you to your thoughts...
I love you and that's the damn truth.

Now my feet won't touch the ground
Cold, cold water what ya say?
When it's such…
It's such a perfect day"

The thing I enjoyed most of that crab boil night, was the fact that at least 70% of the elders' conversation was filled with "what"s and "huh"s and "say that again"s....lol...oh old people, how i love you all!!
