That bubble would be where I have been since I gave birth to my babies. I have become very complacent with my way of life. I am very happy with how simple my life is. I don’t have a grass is greener mentality… anywhere my family is and I am happy…perhaps it is because of the struggles it took to get here. With that said – I have never left my children – they pretty much go where we go. I know, I know – all you people in cyberland — hold your judgements – I know how important it is to have alone time .. maybe a girls trip – or a second honeymoon – BUT remember I have a son who has medical needs and to hop on a plane has never been an option for me ….. until now. So here I type – 1 day out from leaving on my first Photo shoot trip. With waves of anxiety (just had one while writing that) – I am afraid to fly (been fearful for as long as I can remember) …xanax should solve that problem. But how to handle missing my kids – that is not something that xanax can take care of. My in-laws A.K.A the best grandparents EVER will be flying in as I fly out. So I know my kids will be in good … scratch that.. .AMAZING hands. Hayden and Emerson are pretty independent – so I don’t think that they will pine for me. They actually might not know I am gone for a couple of days. My husband is a 2011 Mr. Mom – so he will be ok…ok now I think I just convinced myself that they might not even miss me. I kid – I know they will miss me – but I believe they are so confident in my love for them that they know I will be back. So off to CA to do something that will challenge my level of photography. As someone only 9 months in – I still am learning. Learning about lighting and learning about my camera settings. I fly into LA and have my first shoot and then head down to good ol’ San Diego for the remainder of my trip – shooting old friends and family. So I invite you to join me – on this insane ride… filled with ups and downs and a little bit of debt (thanks to my love of props and gear) … learning to balance and learning to allow myself the joy of being more then just a wife and mother to two beautiful kids.
++ on another note – it took me an hour of blowing bubbles before I got this shot… it was the last blow I did…….What we do for a perfect shot.
Caroljean - That is a perfect shot! And I know what you mean about taking an hour…but, WOW! 🙂
