family vacay
Family vacation was a success! A steaming, hot, successful trip. We visited all of the places that took us back to our childhood, we melted in the heat, ate good food and took a crazy amount of pictures of Amelia. I would share them with you, but I am still without a cord for my camera. UGH! Phone photos it is...
I will hopefully get that cord hooked up to my computer soon, but I have a busy week this week. Class Monday & Tuesday, dinner with my friend Katie on Wednesday and leaving for Griffin on Thursday. I'll be spending the weekend there for Labor Day. It's fun to be going on a dinner date with my friend Katie Wednesday! 9 months later and I finally have a friend to go to dinner with in this town. Why is making friends so hard for me these days? I like to think that I've always been pretty good at the friend thing? Maybe it will start a chain reaction of friend things. Who knows!
Lately, I've been dying to build my own house. I would say it is currently my biggest dream. I want to start from the dirt on the bottom to the chimney on the roof. I see/think of so many things, and I just know I'll forget them when I will be financially stable enough to build my own house {I'm guessing 20 years, if ever}! I went to Target tonight and bought a binder and I'm going to start tearing pages out of magazines that I read and start documenting my wishlist for building a house. If I can't find this notebook in 20 years then I will at least have found a way to channel all of my thoughts and ideas for the time being. Maybe it will feel like I am actually making my pretty dream house in some way. If any of you ever come visit me, you could ask me if you can thumb through my dream house in the making & I would be pretty excited to share that with you{hint hint}. I reallllyy need to win the lottery.
I cannot wait for Fall. I cannot wait for Fall. I cannot say that enough.
Fall =
<> orange in your wardrobe
<> new candles
<> pumpkin recipes
<> football
<> coffee anytime of day
<> family time
<> holidays
<> my birthday
<> boots/boot socks
<> chili
<> warm pjs
Going to get started on my "one day..." house building notebook!

couch potato
I so enjoyed the past two nights of classes, but I am even more enjoying being home tonight. We have done a lot of couch sitting tonight, and it's been nice! So has eating dinner with my family, and kissing Amelia good night! Remind me to not take night classes when I start school in January. I talked Adam into eating Waffle House tonight for International Waffle Day. I don't know if it was the All-Star Special or my "you never do fun things with me" nagging. Either way, I got what I wanted which was a tummy full of waffles. So did this little coloring chick!
Amelia is sprouting a new tooth {what seems like} every dang day. I hate it for her! It's hard for Adam and I to understand why she is so clingy and fussy. Then she comes and lays her feverish, drooly head in our lap and we {at least I}, feel terrible about getting frustrated with her. She goes back to school tomorrow! Tuesday was not as hard as I had imagined it would be. Maybe it was because she would not even say goodbye to me when I dropped her off. I knew right then, her feelings weren't hurt that I was taking the next 3 hours to do things on my own. I watched Regis & Kelly in peace, got her room/sheets cleaned, 2 loads of laundry washed, 2 mile work out and a shower done {& thought about her every minute} while she was at school. Tomorrow I will run errands, work out and edit pictures on Photoshop {& think about her every minute}.
Friday we are going on a fake-a-tion {vacation} to PCB. I call it a fake-a-tion, because it's not a staycation, and it's really not a vacation. What it is going to be is AWESOME, except for the fact that Adam will be fishing and can't make the trip. We are going to take Amelia to all of the places we used to visit on our family vacations to PCB. We will eat Thomas Donuts, visit "Miracle Strip", play Goofy golf and spend time in the pool! Even Uncle Bo is coming!!! WOO HOO! The only thing missing will be Memommy! And Adam.
Here are some pictures frommy LoughTide's new camera. I haven't quite caught onto the ISO, shutter speed, blah blah's yet so all of these photos were taken in AUTO. Hopefully by my next class I will have it down pat!
JK - I am irritated to announce that I cannot find the USB cord for the camera. Seriously??!?!? It got up and walked out of the camera bag. If it parked it's self at any of my family members houses, please return it ASAP. Sorry, no pictures tonight. :( Maybe tomorrow? Or today? Depends on when you're reading. Blah.

back to school
Today, I started back school! Ok, well just classes. Photography classes are not quite school, but it's getting me back in the swing of things for when I do actually start back. I even did some math in my photography class tonight; dusting off all my skills! It lasted 3 hours and it took all I had to keep my mind focused! I really enjoyed it though, and I've already learned so much with 3 more weeks to go. Look out beach wedding photographers, I know now what resolution, aspect ratios and final formats are ALL about. Bam!
Amelia is starting "school" tomorrow! She is going to First Methodist in Mary Esther. I would really like for her to be in Firsty Methodist in Fort Walton, because my sister has a sweet friend that works there and I would feel better knowing someone that will be at the school with her. The only problem with Fort Walton is that Amelia is #5 on the waiting list, and they had a free spot for her in Mary Esther. I will consider switching her over if they call and say they have gotten to her on the waiting list. Either place seemed really great, and I know it is going to be really good for Amelia. It will be really sad for me to leave her there tomorrow. My sister went with me to tour the school today, and she said it best when she said "They don't know her, what she likes to do, and what she is trying to say when she says something that sounds like 'weditgo' {where did it go?}". It's true, she is our world, and to them just another rugrat to chase around a playground. It's only 6 hours a week, so she will get plenty of attention directed towards JUST her. She won't go without getting that attention, believe me. It's strange though to be getting her ready to go tomorrow. Writing her name on her extra clothes, sippy cups and packing diapers and wipes to leave up there for her. It's also really neat that she will be making friends. I met a bunch of my great friends when I attended First Methodist in Griffin! One of the friends I met, Callie, I still talk to almost daily. How sweet for Amelia that she may be meeting one of her best friends forever tomorrow. Not any better than me, of course!
It's so past my bedtime, just wanted to drop by and let you guys know about all the edu-ma-cation going on in the Peeples house now-a-days. Oh, and I gotmy LoughTide's camera in the mail today. I've not had the chance to upload any of the 70 pictures I've already taken. Maybe tomorrow while Amelia is at SCHOOL?? I will not cry. I will not cry.

photog classes
Adam's brothers and best friend were in town this weekend, which meant lots of fishing. Which meant no yard sales for me.. {This is mostly because yard saling with Amelia is about ehhhhh 1/8th of the fun it normally is.} Or so I thought it was a no yard sale Saturday for me. Amelia woke up at about 8, and I called my mom to see what great deals she was finding. Turns out, she found a house she wants to move in to! So I threw Amelia in the car with a pop-tart to make her happy rub all in her hair, and we were headed to Navarre. We stopped at 2 yard sales near the house my mom had found. One = not so great. One = AWESOME! I got Poppy some shoes and a onesie, Amelia 2 dresses, 2 hats and some Pumas and myself some cutie cowboy boots for one whole dollar.
Cute, huh?? I think my mom got the best deal of the day though. They found the PERFECT house! Way better place for grandkids to go stay the night. ;-)
Last night I doubled as a slave and a photographer for LoughTide. I look forward to the photography part of weddings, not the whole set-the-wedding-up-in-30-minutes part. All sweating and cursing aside, the wedding turned out beautifully! My mom and dad sure know what they are doing for having only been in business for 2 years. I didn't make it home before Amelia went to bed, and I found myself laying in bed hoping she would cry for a second so I could run in there to see her! I've been having some crazy dreams for a few months, and I can always remember them vividly the next morning. I dreamed last night that I babysat for some kids that I babysat for about 10 years ago, and the baby of one of my favorite bloggers!!? Blog stalk much?
Tomorrow is a big day for me! I'm going to start my photography classes! I can't wait to learn more about the camera, and understand all of the weird names of things that mean nothing to me right now. I'm hoping to use the class time to also meet some friends around here. There's bound to be at least one cool person I connect with there, don't ya think? The camera that LoughTide bought will be what I learn to shoot on, and that comes in tomorrow {I hope} just in time for the first class. This hopefully means more and *better* photos coming to this blog soon! I'll also be out and about doing some more job searching tomorrow. All you prayer people, keep on prayin'! I'm hoping to find a job that really works for my family and our schedule!! It's 8:30, which apparently means bed time for everyone here tonight. Night!

decisions
It's come to the point where I have to get a job. This is not easy, and I have found that out over the past week looking at job after job after job. I'm pretty sure I have applied to 20 part-time jobs. It's coming to the point where I have to make a decision. A tough one. A decision of whether I should take on a part-time retail job and work nights and weekends away from my girl & Adam, or a full-time job. The full-time job being a 9-5er, Monday-Fridayer. This leaving me with ONLY nights and weekends with my family. And Amelia goes to bed at 8:30, so thats like 2 hours with her in the evenings? Oh good grief. How on earth do mommas go back to work and leave their babies?? Wahhhhh!!!!
My feelings exactly, Amelia.
Yeah, I know it's not going to kill me. I should've gone back a long time ago! I've been spoiled spending all this time with her. Pray for me to find the right job, and to make the right decision when it comes time!

Cadence
