I'm back on the health kick! I started back at the gym today and have been eating better lately. I'm so tired of being overweight and unhealthy. I've lost 4lbs so far. Not too bad, but it isn't falling off as fast as I would like it to. I know, it's not supposed to be, but hell, it was easy to put on. I made an awesome dinner tonight-All on the grill. I made BBQ chicken, grilled squash and

In just over a week my baby starts Kindergarten. I'm thrilled and excited for her, but that means she isn't my baby anymore. I know, I know, she'll always be my baby, but in her little mind, she's going off to school like a big girl and then, before you know it, she'll be a teenager, who hates her mom. Doesn't it always work that way? I know how I was as a teenager, and if she is anything

When there is no one home, one of my favorite things in the world to do is to turn up my music and sing every song that comes on. Not just sing every song, but I rock out!! It's my therapy. I love to put it on random and just see what comes on from one song to the next. The song of the moment?? It was Pink--So what. Now it's Broken Wing by Martina McBride. I will never pretend to have a

Some pictures of deer from my library of photos. I have SO many photos to go through. I should definitely not run out of pics for a while.

I loved the look of these trains in black and white. These are for a friend who love trains. I get enough pics of them, so I think it might be true.

I decided to attempt to grow some tulips this year. I, apparently, didn't do so well, as this is about all I got this year. They look cool, but flowers would have been nice.

Last week was spirit week at Victoria's daycare. Thursday was crazy hair day and this is what we came up with. She looks like such the rockstar! If you look closely you can see my blackberry in her hand. I don't know how many rockstars carry a stuffed puppy wherever they go, but hey that's why she's in training.

Mark had to go up to grandpa's one day and I decided to tag along and bring my camera. I found this waterfall on the back side of his property during a hike. Absolutely gorgeous!

My kitty Ace when he was just a baby and then a couple of months ago. He's so cute! A pain in the ass, but cute nonetheless.

I'm a huge fan of photography and I'm doing my best to get better at the art I love so much. Since most days I don't have much to discuss, I would just start posting some of my photography up here. Please leave your comments, I do this cause I love it, but I have to admit that hearing comments about my photos is kinda nice..ok, more than just kinda.

I saw this amazing film in the theater when it first came out. First of all, how can it not be amazing with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholas?? It got me thinking, though, there are so many things in life that we would all like to do before we die. I'm going to start thinking about my Bucket List and all the things that I want to add to it. What are some of the items that you have on your

This is just one of my favorite photos that I have taken. I plan to post a lot more of my photography. In case you haven't noticed I love photography. I prefer black and white photography over color, but I do enjoy taking both.

Mark, Lexie, Tori and I went to Round Lake today to go fishing. Lexie LOVES to fish. Hopefully she will be able to continue to go fishing when she gets back to North Carolina. The first picture was actually taken just as we were about to leave. Mark spotted that huge bees nest and grabbed my camera to get some shots. That thing was HUGE and Lexie hates bees, so she wasn't thrilled with it

Living in North Idaho definitely has its advantages. This is one my favorite spots here in North Idaho. It's called Green Bay and it's on Lake Pend Orielle. I do love the sandy beaches of North Carolina, but we went camping here last weekend and when I woke to see the sun coming up over the lake, the rocks didn't seem so bad. This is picture of Victoria throwing rocks into the lake, she gave

So I'm sitting on porch on a saturday morning. Its such a beautiful day. Marks moms dog chewed my internet USB so I am without internet at home for a while. Thank goodness for the blackberry! I can still get online via this,which is what I am doing now. I have insurance on it thankfully its just going to take a few days. Mark is at work today until 3.

I'm on the way to the Spokane airport to pick up my beautiful goddaughter. I'm so excited. I haven't seen her in a year and a half!

Here you go, Carol. At your request I have started a new blog. I know I won't update everyday, I'm not even going to make that promise, but when I have something to write about, I promise I will. It will actually be nice to be able to get some things off my chest or just post bs depending on my mood. I'm kinda excited about it now that I think about it. First bit of news...my beautiful
