Bettering myself




So these are some of my friends who got married in a real fast hurry and asked me to take a couple of pix so they could send out announcements. as I was taking their pictures some turned out almost as if I knew what I was doing. It got me really excited about who else I could help if I just had a little bit more knowledge.




It was fun but I know I could have given them just a little bit more. So I thought about all the great photographers I know and of course Brooke Snow would stand out in my mind I mean after she took these pictures. So I was looking on her website to see when her next weekend class would be and lo and behold she is currently doing this contest
So of course I entered it and of course you should vote for me. I honestly would love to improve this almost talent that I have. I may not start a company or start charging hundreds of dollars for me to take someone's picture but I can see it blessing my life with an opportunity to create, i can see if blessing the life of my family as I document this amazing blessing and adventure we have together and who knows maybe it could even bless your life. I'm always good to drop what I'm doing to run out and take pictures for that last minute wedding or because the sun is hitting those clouds so super cool right at that exact moment or because there is a certain magic in the air that needs to be captured.
So please please vote for me. If not that's cool just start letting Jeremy know that's what he needs to get me for greatest wife ever day or mother's day or just because.
Thanks
Andrea

Wanted:


Wanted a new running partner:

Must be willing to run at night with me, be a MUCH better runner than me but be ok with that and never ever flash it in my face, must be willing to push me when i need to be pushed but be ok when I wus out, must maintain a good conversation when needed and never ever get super dramatic, must be ok if there is no conversation and realize that I AM NOT MAD AT YOU, must enjoy my company enough that they are willing to get up at 6 AM on Saturday mornings so that we can run for two hours, must have good advice for me whenever I need it and be willing to set an awesome example for me to follow at all times. Must make me do lunges in the middle of our runs so that I can be a "better runner". Must always text me when I start thinking I'm going to stop running and tell me that they are coming over in 3 minutes so to make sure I have my shoes tied and shorts on. Must not complain when I talk too much and pretend to be really interested in what I'm saying. Must be willing to run a half marathon at least 10 minutes faster than me so when I come in they can be my biggest fan cheering me on those last sprints. Must never ever move away!
My running buddy Mindy is not only 7 months pregnant but she is also moving to Murray which makes our night time runs a little bit close to impossible. I really want to run another half marathon and do a triathalon before I turn 30 this October but I'm a baby and can't do it on my own. So the search is on for someone new but by the discription Mindy is pretty tough to beat. I'm going to miss her like crazy but I hope that I'm a better runner from running with her the past year and half I know that I'm a better person by just being her friend. So if you're interested please let me know.
Thanks
