Project Day 4! Fun Times Outside

Im a complete emotional wreck at the moment so bare with me.  Well last night me son finally got brave enough to push the go button on his powerwheels so we took him outside today and let him play with it.  This is my fav photo I took of him ridding like I like to say off into the sunset. 

01/03/2011 - Day three and a hard lesson to learn!

So i officailly learned the hard way that you dont try to wrangle a two year old and try to get him to sit still long enough to take a fam pic! I will most likely from now on be leaving that up to a professional lol.  All in all with it being the first time I have used the timer on my camera and dealing with Dante I do believe the pic turned out pretty good, although I dont like how I look in it.  Oh and with the whole professional thing being said we are trying to get family pics done on the 10th!!!!!!!!!! Oh I so cant wait. 

Late on posting 01/02's pics

I still took a pic just ended up going somewhere with my mom and didnt get home till very late.  There really isnt anything very special about the photo its just one of Tim being himself.

365 Day Photo Project - Day 1

Ok so even with the help of the website Im still not sure what all goes into this kind of a project but I do know that it is for those that love taking photos to get more experience and to become better at what they do.  Well todays photo my first photo is just a plain photo of Dante and Tim that I took like I take all my other photos, as the year goes on I will start to experiment more with my camera and probably have some pretty fucked up photos.  But anyway cause of this I may have two maybe even three posts in one day.  One post will always be my photo of the day so to speak.  The other posts will be vents, rants and just random shit.  So without further ado here is the first photo in my 365 days of photo project and also my first photo of the new year!

The Dawning Of A New Year - 2011

At the strike of 12
2010 is gone
a year has passed
so much gone on.
A new year dawns
with goals we've set
hoping it'll be
the best year yet!!
Here's to 2011.

Well from the clock on my computer I have 40 minutes till the new year dawns and a new chapter in my life begins.  There is so much that I want to do in the new year and so much about myself that I want to change and learn.  I figure that by the time I am done typing this and posting it, it will already be the new year. 

I want so badly to change who I am but not to the point that I will not be myself, I mostly want to be stronger and healthier.  I want to reach my goal weight and stick to my exercise plan.  I want to not worry about what other people do and let what they say about me behind my back and to my face just go in one ear and out the other, just let it roll right off my back with out a second thought.  There is a lot of trash in my life and at midnight I will be tossing it out, that is mostly in the form of people that I don't need in my life.  Its a new year so out with the old and in with the new. 

There are a lot of thing that in the new year I want to do with my life to better it for my son.  I want to move back to either Bend or Redmond, preferably Bend.  I want to go back to college for what I originally went for and get my DVM (Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine), a degree in Spanish and also go to school for Law.  I know that that is a lot to do in a year but even a small step in that direction is better then nothing. 

I am also starting projects tomorrow the first day of 2011.  I am planning on blogging in at least one of my blogs daily (I figure this will be the first blog of the new year) and also going to start taking at least one photo a day for an entire year.  I want to see how things change especially my son.  I want to start knitting and sewing again.  I want to challenge myself. 

I plan on focusing on my religion (Paganism) more this coming year and learning more about it.  I have put it on such a back burning in my life that I feel no longer attached to the Earth and the Gods and Goddesses like I once did.  I will no longer be afraid to tell people what or who I am and WILL wear my religion with pride!  I will also no longer ignore the gift that I have been given, I will gladly admit that I am an EMPATH!  I will learn to control what I have and will use it to help others. 

I cant wait to prove to people that one crappy ass year doesnt have to mean you give up.  I want to do everything that I set as goals.  I will not and never will let 2010 the worst year I can remember stop me from doing what I set out to do.  I will work towards and accomplish everything that I want to.  People will not stand in my way.  I will bitch slap anyone including friends and family that try. 

I know that there are probably a lot of people that will read this and call BS on a lot of it, but you know what I don't give a fuck what anybody thinks anymore!!!!!!!!!  This is my fucking life and I am fucking taking back control of it!  Nobody will have control over me anymore.  I will live how I want and make the decisions that I want to make and if anyone disagrees or thinks I am wrong they can fucking forget my name!

HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEARS!

Dec 30th - Dante's 2nd Birthday

Ya my little man is 2 years old as of yesterday! I cant believe he is already 2 and how smart he is.  Well there was no party for him he just got a cake cause we gave all presents on Christmas till he is old enough to know the difference. 

Our Christmas*****Late and Pic Heavy

I was checking out my blog and realized that I had yet to update with Christmas and then Dante's 2nd birthday that was yesterday.  Well as far as Christmas's go it wasnt bad.  My grandfather went over and spent it with my uncles and their families and also my grandmother that has been in a health care facility for about half the year.  My mother and her boyfriend along with two of his four dogs came on Christmas Eve and left on Christmas.  It wasnt that bad of a holiday but I think it would have been nice to have the house just to the three of us.  I also managed to loss about 2 pounds through the Christmas holiday which I am extremely happy about!
