I'm back!!!

I fell off of the radar for almost 4 months! I don't really know what happened. I guess I lost focus of my goal but i'm back for good. This will probably be a long post as i'm sure I have done a ton of stuff!

I'll just jump right in to the things I have done:

I guess I will start with the books I have read. I think I've finished a few since Feburary 13. As of my last post I was reading "Love the One You're With", I finished that and have also finished "Heart of the Matter",  "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" and am currently reading "Lies that Chelsea Handler Told Me". The two I finished in January and Feburary were "Water for Elephants" and "Baby Proof". That puts me at 5 books completed for the year. That is pathetic! I'll try harder!

I have framed and hung a few of my photography pictures! I'll post a picture of some! I loved seeing my artwork framed. I think i'm going to post on my facebook page for anyone I have done pictures for that have framed any of my work for them to send me a picture. It's rewarding!

I painted the dining room & the bathroom! I'll post pictures of both. They both look so much better.

Not sure if I already posted about the soldier I adopted! I sent her a package and wrote her a letter. A few weeks later she sent one back! It was good to hear from her.

On to the gym issue! One random day in March I was going to the gym like always and there was a sign on the door that they had closed down! No warning of any kind. So here I am still stuck at the same weight and I still can't run 5 miles. I can't blame them but still, they took my money and closed down a month later! I still have 6 months to join another gym.

My photography is really starting to pick up. I have done a few shoots since my last post and have become more comfortable behind the lens. I have learned so much and am finally in all manual mode. I also shot another wedding and second shot one with the photographer that shot my wedding. They were both great experiences. I'll post a few of my favorite pictures from the weddings. I have also done 3 newborn sessions and have mastered the head in the hands pose! I still love photography!

I will admit that I have not sent any cards via mail. Although I think I sent a few birthday cards, I can't remember to who. My list says to send 10 birthday cards via mail and 1 just because card a month. I will definitely accomplish the 10 birthday cards but I think I will just make sure I send 12 just because cards this year. Pretty much the same thing.

In March, I went horseback riding with Katie! It was so cold and so windy. I really could not enjoy myself. I think I will go one day in the fall where I can relax and have a good time. I am crossing it off my list as of now but if I go again, I will be sure to take pictures.

I have also been holding babies whenever I get the chance. Although, I haven't had many chances. Since my last post I have found out that 4 people in my family are having babies this year! I am beyond excited. I love babies!

I have created a website! http://www.brittanybuitron.com/. Go check it out!

On May 22, Angel, Tyler, Zach and I all went to a Phillies game! They lost.

Oh yeah, I BOUGHT A NIKON D90!!!!! I love it! Next I want the D700. Maybe that will be on next years list.

I had my first dentist appoinment on April 20 and started getting my teeth fixed. With a little laughing gas and some Xanax, it's not that bad. My last appoinment was sort of a disaster though.

I went through my whole list and I cannot believe that is all that I have accomplished! Below I will write everything that I have accomplished and everything in progress. Hopefully it will look more successful that way! I am really going to push myself to finish this list.
