Putting Thoughts Into Words

Ben has been on a business trip to Portland, Oregon the past few days, and won't be returning until Friday evening...it has been torture! Getting home to an empty house is normal for me, because I usually get home before he does during the work week, but being in an empty house and no one showing up after me is such a sad feeling... even with Sophie, there's only so much you can say to your doggy-friend....and most of it was Sophie-get off of that...Sophie-stop chewing on that...Sophie-STOP! I know she's just a puppy still, and learning her manners, but my goodness!! oop, got off topic here...the point is... I MISS MY HUSBAND! He really is my best friend in the whole wide world :) I love the conversations we have and even if we're not talking, just having him there! *sigh* Come back to me my love!

Anyways, so I have gotten a chance to see girly movies that I wouldn't subject Ben to watch with me...so that's been fun...like last night I watched Atonement...I love those movies based on older novels, or based in an older period. The movie, I thought, was very good.. even though it was sad, it had an interesting plot. That's another thing Ben doesn't understand, why girls like to watch things that make them sad. I believe that because females are made of emotions, and as much as a movie or book or story makes us sad, it touches a part of us that was made to need emotion!

I've been thinking about reading and writing a lot. When I was younger, my nose was ALWAYS buried in some book...that's all I would do was read. Maybe because we never had cable, so it was either play outside or read. After going to college and assuming responsibilities (Ben would say, 'You don't have any resposibilities!' and its true! Ben does everything :) such a wonderful husband!) I just haven't found the time nor the book that intrigues me long enough to even finish the first chapter...but lately I've been thinking about how much I miss reading! And now that I've started to do more writing with the blog, I'm finding that I'm quite lacking in the thoughts-to-words-area. It doesn't come as easily to me as it does some. I heard somewhere that to be able to write, one must read...hmmm.

Our photography business is something that consumes me. It is ALWAYS on my mind. God has really put a vision into our hearts about where this business is going, and it has been so exciting to plan, develop and learn this new industry we're in. Its difficult though, when you see in your mind's eye where something is going, but your living in the here-and-now and having to work to get where you see yourself getting to! But God has blessed us so much and our business is growing and there's nothing I can be but thankful for the One that not only put the vision into our hearts, but is teaching us to be patient in the growing process and taking us to future He intended for us.

There is so much to say of how I'm feeling today, but like I said, its really difficult for me to put into words...so for now, we'll just call these random thoughts for a random day. God bless you all and I'm praying that God does amazing things in your life!

Lots of love!
