Christmas Grows Closer

This has been a great week!! Isaac and I have been very busy working! December is always a very busy time in the salon industry. And we have been very blessed that this December hasn't been any different!! We have definitely been working a lot. But we are BLESSED to say that we have jobs and that we love them!!
So after a hard week of work we had a great day off on Sunday. We have just recently started attending a new church. And we LOVE IT!! God has definitely been speaking to us threw the services. Isaac's uncle and his fiance were in town visiting for Tristin's(our adorable nephews') birthday. So they joined us for church. It was a great message. It was about really remembering what Christmas really means, Jesus' birthday. And our pastor challenged us to stop and really thank God for sending his son in to the world for us. And before we open presents to sing happy birthday to Jesus. What a great idea, huh? Especially if you have kids, I thought.
After service we went to the Phoenix zoo for Tristins birthday. It was a blast!! And it was beautiful AZ weather. We don't get rainy misty days here to often. So we definitely have to be thankful when we do get them!!! Tristin and the other kids got to pet some little animals. And then we went on a train ride threw the park. It was beautiful!! Next up was the sting ray exhibit. You can actually pet them. It was so cute seeing the kids faces while they touched the slimy creatures!!
But my fav part of the zoo is the beautiful peacocks!! I really love seeing them and taking pics of them.
Here is some for you to see

New Things

So I decided I needed an outlet to express my self. I have a million things I love to do, including shopping, cooking, baking, painting, photography, sewing, decorating..... OK so there is so many more but there is not enough room for all of them. I have so many dreams for the future and things that I want to do, that if I stop for too long and think about them I start to get the worst anxiety ever!! So instead I find ways to keep my self busy and to clear my mind. O.K. so shopping is not too creative(unless I find an amazing deal, then its very creative). But more so in cooking, painting,and photography. When I'm taking pictures I love it. I can not draw very well but when I take picture I'm able to create what I see in my head, because lord knows I can not draw what I in vision. If I try its stick figures and trees that look like lollipops. Here is some of the recent pictures I've taken.
