Day 18

Today I saw my favoritest (I think I totally made up that word. Oh well). doctor (even though he usually makes me cry, not cause he's mean, but because of the topics we discuss). We talked about lots of things and changed some of my medications because I haven't been eating and sleeping well. I found out some happy news, and my doctor thinks I am making lots of progess (I do too).

Pleasure: Today I spent a few hours downtown with a friend from highschool, as I picked up my wedding jewelery (handmade pearl necklace from Stephanie, earrings from Simply Charming Boutique). I made Radley (long-time highschool friend) let me take pictures (Photography = therapy).. Annnd, I got coffee! (I miss my coffee buddy though; she is in NY, China, Indonesia-  It feels all the same to me).

Pray: Today I prayed for my cousin, Matthew, who is a United States Marine. We found out today that he was elected as a candidate for Marine of the Quarter. I am so proud of him, and pray God's loving hands and angels surround him wherever he goes.

Love: Today I tipped Stephanie a little (I wish I could do more) extra than what she charged me for the handmade necklace she made for my wedding day. I know how much time she put into hand-knotting the pearls and making sure everything was perfect, and she deserved it. As a photographer, I know about all the little, time consuming details that it takes to give someone a finished product (like for me, hand-editing each photo that takes hours. For Steph, it's hand-beading or knotting each pearl with love). People don't realize how much time goes into a craft, whatver it be, and I appreciated her making me exactly what I wanted (Thanks, Steph!).

Oh, and I feel I owe a big thanks to my other best little brother, Adam, for totally making my fancy photography website complete (I think).
