What a Week

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

It's Friday! The end of another crazy week! Finally closed some loans we have been working on for a while, so that was good. Not to say it didn't come without some tremendous headaches. ;)

Highlights~ I started blogging, thats been fun. Probably going to be one of my hobbies from here on out. Which is good; I like to catch up and it forces me to stop and smell the flowers from time to time. Funny how you can suddenly find more and more stuff to write about as you go, rather than trying to put about a hundred thoughts from over the years together in a single sitting.

Now the week is over and I couldn't be more glad! I'm taking Aydin school shopping Saturday. I can't believe she's going to be in kindergarten! The years have gone by so fast. My baby is growing up! We recently tested her for an extended learning program, and I was asked to site some examples of how she excels past her years. Well, if you have a two minute conversation with her you'll notice she is like talking to a 30 year old trapped in a 5 year old body! ;) So, of course on the spot it was hard for me to come up with specific examples, but over the last few days I've been able to put some together. Might have to start a spot on the blog just for "Aydinisms".

Photography is a big part of Chad's life. He takes the most amazing pictures. Mostly landscapes, but he does a variety of everything. I am so proud of his work. For Christmas, I put together a portfolio of some of his favorites. I couldn't fit them all, but here is a view of some of his black and whites. He has a gift for capturing beauty in some of the most peculiar places.
