growing up.

so, where exactly has november gone? and 2008 for that matter... this has been a crazy month. i can say that i am throughly looking forward to having next week off. 

i am getting extremely excited about thanksgiving this year, as i will be cooking my very first thanksgiving meal. i have already bought my turkey! i can't wait to start cooking next thursday and spend time with my family. i hope that it is a success :-) makes me feel so grown up! 

i think the theme of my life for the past few weeks has been just that... growing up. you know, being a big girl. i have been considering a big trip, the out of the country kind... and i have never been outside the US! i would have to fly all alone... so scary and yet so exciting! and i need to decide... like yesterday. but really... i do. growing up. 

and i thought i came to my decision last week. but then, i had a bit of an emergency situation. friday morning, i got a phone call that my precious little buddy was being taken to the ER. i felt pretty helpless and panicked as i drove to the hospital. when i arrived, he had regained consciousness and looked about pitiful in his oversized hospital gown. my heart broke to hear him cry in pain... as i cuddled him i knew that what i felt was similar to what a mother must feel in those situations. he is my best friend... my favorite 7 year old... and like a child to me. working with him everyday makes my heart just fall in love with him. he is great. and as i sat there with him all i wanted was to make him feel better. and now, he is back to being the fun loving michael... and i am ever so cautious with him... just like a mother ;-) ... growing up. 

saturday i have a wedding to shoot... it is almost 2 hours away. it will be a l-o-n-g day. and i better bring my good attitude. :-) having your own business= growing up. 

so. there you have it. here's to hoping sunday gets here fast. yay fall break!
