The Ash Heap

Lots of things... all at once:

• I LOVE my new camera! I have done 3 photoshoots since I got it including a senior portrait session & a parade for a politician! I get to do a session with the adorable Hannah Priestley (age 2) this Saturday and am really excited about it! I've always enjoyed "taking pictures" - but photography is a blast! I love it and am addicted.
• I have a website: http://www.aalexanderphotography.shutterfly.com/ - you should look at it and share it with your friends.
• Workouts are going well - I am finding that on some days it is almost impossible to get 2 workouts in a day, so I am trying not to beat myself up for not working out twice when things are crazy. Ive been working out for a week and havent lost a pound... I have lost 1/2" off my belly though - which has to count for something
• I will have access to Fairmont State University's rec center in 2 weeks... which gives me a full gym + pool+fitness classes. Im looking forward to this. I LOVE group exercise!
• Steven starts school in 1.5 weeks!!!! We have paid his tuition & ordered his books! We go to orientation tomorrow. He is so excited and I am so excited for him! I'm so proud of him and am looking forward to this season of our life. The next 2 years will be hard and exciting all at once - but totally worth the end result!
• My hair is growing
• Steven Alexander is the world's greatest husband. Gah I cannot begin to tell you how much I love that man. God could not have designed a more perfect mate for me!!
• Crossroads is good - remaining steady! We had to redo our entire preschool area - water was coming in ...in a major way! flooring had to get replaced and walls had to be repainted - but it is almost finished and is gorgeous!! The AC/heater is out right now and we are working towards raising money to get this repaired! We can sweat for Jesus... but we can't really freeze for him. Well, I suppose we can if we want to hurry up and see him!
• We love our little place in Fairmont. It's amazing how much cheaper it is. Our rent + all utilities... is cheaper than what rent alone was in Morgantown. However, we do miss living in Morgantown and look forward to moving back one day!
• God is good - even when I cant feel him.
