Something bad happened. Something very very very very bad. Something so bad you are going to read this and your insides are going to curl up, twist into a ball, shrivel up and die. Something SO BAD that I feel as though I could have taken my whole life, compressed it into a tiny little flower, and took that beautiful gorgeous little flower and flushed it down the toilet. Are you ready...........................
MY HARD DRIVE FAILED. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I know. Most of you non-computer people are like, "uhhh what'th tho bad about that??" (please read previous sentence with a lisp).
WELL. LET ME TELL YOU what's so BAD about that. Not only does my world REVOLVE around this tiny little technological failure, but it is the basis that I am building my photography career upon, storing my life on, living my life around, and LIVING AND BREATHING FOR.
Okay... deep breath. I know I'm being a little over dramatic, and no I don't live my life revolved around my macbook, you can stop sweating now. BUT, it is one of the most unexpected frustrating things I've had to deal with for a while now (besides the whole Zack being deployed thing, obviously that one takes the cake).. BUT, aside from a few tears (& yes I actually mean a FEW) and some frustrated, angry comments directed towards all of technology, I am trusting the Lord in this and I'm just going to have to take a few hits, get my hard drive replaced, mourn the loss of what was on it, and move on with my life hopefully with a new and functioning hard drive. The Lord will provide... right?
I am not a worrier by any means. In fact I can usually take any situation and laugh it off and just give it to the Lord... BUT, for some reason when it comes to finances I am a HUGE worrier. Maybe it's b/c I've been broke my entire life. I don't know. But Zack has really stood up as the man of our relationship and been an enormous encouragement to me in this area. Money is JUST money. And when has God ever NOT provided for us?????? NEVERRRRR. So I really need to get over myself, get over my money-worry-oriented mind, and just trust the Lord that He will provide. And He will. Because He promises that He will. So therefore, I surrender my hard drive, our finances, my lack of Adobe Photoshop, and everything else to Jesus, and I will bear the weight of this situation NO MORE.
On a LIGHTER note: I did an engagement photo session yesterday with some friends who's wedding I'm shooting in the fall. It went great despite the sweltering heat.. As soon as I get the means to do it, I will post a few for you all to see. AND, last but not LEAST....
........
...................ONE MORE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK AAAOOOHHHHH MMMAAAAA GAAASSHHHH til I get to see my FARTYman!! I can't wait. As we speak he is currently testing for his final security convoy.. so more power of the Lord to him. For fun they painted each other with war paint. Haha. Zack is second in from the Left and Jennings, his military wife, is back Right. Oh boys..
I also received this HEARTfelt email from the battalion commander today::: So warm and fuzzy isn't it?
Hello friends and family of CLB-46. This is LtCol Eric Davis, the battalion commander. Thank you for taking the opportunity to use the Marine Corps’s latest technology to support friends and families of deployed Marines and Sailors: the mass communication tool.
Your Marines and Sailors are actively engaged in pre-deployment desert training here in 29 Palms, CA. After a month at Camp Lejeune, NC working on individual and company-level training, we have moved into a new phase of training, working on battalion-level operations. I am pleased to report that we have passed all of our training events, as graded by the base training staff. Your Marines and Sailors have been tested in various thought-provoking scenarios involving Iraqi role players, challenging weather conditions, and simulated munitions. They have improved with every event and are fully ready for our deployment to Iraq.
Thank you for your continued support.
Anyways, Love you all and thanks again for your prayers. Update again soon!
