Friends
I have a few local friends that I’ve been hanging out with when I can. I scrapbook with them and just visit here and there. It’s taken a while for me to meet people, it’s hard to find people that will pull you into their circle and make you feel welcome. 
I’m grateful for the friends that I have, whether locally or far away. I wish I could meet all my blogger friends one day!
Waiting
I’m currently waiting for the person to show up at the appointment we set up for today.
We have a lot of natural light that comes through our bathroom windows, in early morning. We want to sleep late on the weekends, so we were looking for a solution.
I set up an appointment with a custom blinds person a couple of weeks ago.
I pulled into the parking lot and there is no one here. I was about 10 minutes early. I called to see if anyone is here, no one answered the phone, so I left a message.
I’m waiting a few more minutes, then I’m heading out to finish the rest of my errands.
I’m early to most things. Appointments with clients is something I’m always about 10-15 minutes early for! This is so frustrating to me!
We’ll just look at other options I guess, how disappointing! 
Moved
Hey, so I’ve moved my blog to the root directory. Maybe now I will blog more often. I have made all the archives only available to me to read. I may go through them one day and change them to public, I’m not sure.
Things here have been busy, but good!
My birthday was fun, I had a few friends over for a great dinner and some laughs. Hubby did an awesome job cooking steaks and well potatoes kinda cook themselves, don’t they? Anyhow, I received a bunch of roses from one of my friends and a beautiful fall flower bouquet from my scrapping friends. I cropped on the day after my birthday, for the first time doing an all day crop, and it was fun, fun! I can’t wait to do that again! Last year I only did half of CropTober Fest. I did get a lot of things accomplished. I’ve been trying to crop each month. My hubby bought me the Pandora cupcake for my necklace and a colored (red) bead for my bracelet. The oldest gave me some awesome Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea stuff. It’s my favorite scent! She stopped by on my birthday on her way to see her boyfriend.
We ordered a new washer and dryer that arrived right after my birthday. I’m so glad we bought these. They are front loaders, which I wasn’t sure if I wanted them or not, but I love them. 
We bought the Kenmore Elites. The base had the prices for the ones that they didn’t have in stock, so we were upgraded for the price, which was great. They are white, have white pedestals and I love the drawer space! No more kicking and moving baskets around in the laundry room!
His surgery went well. He’s back at work and last Monday was the first time that he’s exercised since before the surgery. They didn’t want his blood pressure to go up, so no running at all, or any working out. He goes back for another follow up in a few weeks.
I’ve been trying to keep busy with the photo business. I just did a few headshots on the 6th. I had reserved two Friday’s for this, but, there wasn’t enough people signed up, so I’m rescheduling it for January. One of my local photo buddies has a studio that I can rent out for this, so that will save some dollars! I’m setting up initial appointments to meet the uprising high school seniors this month, for February. Then, the sessions will be in March. I’m also set to do pet portraits on the 28th of this month. A local pet groomer took a chance on me! I think that it will work out and hopefully I will be back in a few months to do it again.
I’m seriously considering going to Guatemala on a Missions trip with some of the people in my church. The information meeting is the 22nd of this month. It’s a week in March that I would be gone, I have until January to decide and put down the deposit. I did have some of my questions answered, like for housing and food. I do have a passport and I’ve never used it. It will not be the first time that I’ve seen poverty, we saw it back on a port stop with a cruise we did as a family. And I have seen in here in the USA as well. I think that the thing I’m most worried about is bringing something disease wise home. I also have a big heart for children and seeing anyone suffering especially children makes me cry. So, there’s that too. I think that I will be okay after the first day and I think that will not only change the way I see things in my life and world, but it will change me inside, forever. They need people to just play with the kids and some other things. I’ve never done anything like this before.
Hubby and I went to the outlet stores this past Saturday. We are almost complete with our Christmas shopping. I just have a few things to buy for him and he for me and something for the little girlie and we’re done.
