Where can I find the time to breathe?!

I'm working 7 days a week! Okay, I know to some people what I do doesn't sound like hard work, but still! Monday nights I only work 2 hours at Ram TV/Ram Radio, and I'm okay with that. Sundays are my usual day off, but I'm covering someone's shift tomorrow (technically today) from 11-4 at Studio Stream (Sonic Live Radio). I'm not really complaining, because I enjoy what I do and I can always use the extra money on my paycheck.. but no Sunday afternoon nap for me! AND, when I'm done at Studio Stream, I'm going down town to take some engagement pictures for a friend! I'm pretty excited about that. I love photographing beautiful people... especially when they're as sweet as this couple.

My photography services have really taken off this year! I love it! I'm keeping record of how much money I'm making per shoot, because this time next year I'll have made so much I will have to report the income for taxes. It kind of stinks that I can't just keep the cash in my pocket, but way cool that I'm getting so much business I have to report it. :) I've done 2 weddings in the last 4 months, a lot of baby pictures and some engagements and graduation portraits too! I have a facebook page by the way! You should check it out. :)

Life is busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Prayer requests:

Our small group is getting smaller and smaller and I'm a little discouraged! The past few weeks we've only had 3 or 4 show up out of our usual 11 or 12!

Ryan and I would love to move into a rent house this summer somewhere in San Angelo... I think we've just about grown out of our 1 bedroom apartment. We've been extremely blessed to live where we do though... just too much stuff for that little space... and I want our sweet puppy Penny to have a yard to run around in!

My sister, Tamra, and her 3 youngest boys have moved to San Antonio (I think, I'm not really sure...) and I know she has a warrant out for her arrest here in Angelo... so I'm not even sure what's going on with that! I pray that she will quit running from her problems and face them... and that they will all quit the drugs and other shenanigans and take responsibility for their actions. I love them so much and wish they could understand that life doesn't have to be this difficult!
