Where have I been?

I've been asking myself this question too. Along with some of you who have sent me messages saying update your blog. Thanks for caring! Honestly, I didn't think anyone read my blog, so I didn't think it was a big deal. I have been in "Busy" up to my noes. I spent almost everyday the past two weeks up in the darkroom for HOURS. I do mean hours. Some nights I was there until 1 in the morning. Other nights I stayed as long as my eyes would stay open. My project was an important one. I needed a good grade out of the class. And my photo 2 teacher is a LOT harder than my photo 1 teacher was to please. I worked my butt off for this project. I think it turned out good. I got some wonderful shots. Thanks to all who participated! I will post pics sometime this week when I'm not still recovering. I'm exhausted. I did well in drawing, my last 4 assignments I got in the 90's, so I guess I am improving. I still don't enjoy it, but I can at least do it now. I was really surprised at how well I can actually draw now. It's not fantastic, but it's not bad.

Aspen pretty much lived at her grandmas during the past two weeks, which I was sad about because I missed her, but it was good bonding time for them. I didn't feel like a good mom this week because I hardly saw her...but I suppose she will forgive me for it. She would call me and tell me to come home, or that it wasn't a school day and she missed me. She told me one day to hurry home to play with her. She is such a sweet little one. I love her so much. I hope I can be a good enough mom to her with finishing school too.

Ashton is gone backpacking for 4 days now, and I'm back to work. Will be lots of fun I'm sure...wahoo...at least I'll get to spend a little time with Aspen now. We played most the day today.

I'll post pics later. I'm super tired, and this is all the update I can give right now. I start Digital in the fall! I'm super excited about that. That's about it.

My goodness! What a task, to go back to school and be a mom. I admire you for doing it! Really! I'm glad you updated your blog, I've been wondering about you!

Glad to hear you're still around! I'd been wondering where you'd been hiding... now that I know it's in the darkroom I won't worry. :) I'm glad that your classes went well this semester and that you got everything done. Are you taking the summer off? Sounds like you deserve a break!

Wow girl! I've been thinking about you and wondering where you've been. Good to know you're alive! :)

I totally can relate to feeling like a bad mom. With a new baby around I feel like I've been neglecting Addie a little. (A lot sometimes.) I guess all of us moms feel that way sometimes. :) I think you're incredible. I really admire you for going to school AND being a mom. You're awesome! Can't wait to see pics!

Don't worry, I have been a huge blog slacker lately. I can't wait to see your project.
