Images of love

Well, after my first week of classes in cosmetology, I can honestly say Michael and I are starting our lives together :D This is a picture of what our lives will be, at least for the next 13 months (minus the whole getting to live together eventually, even sleep in the same place!). I'm realizing more and more than life is just a series of changes. A lady at my chiropractor's office is in awe of "all the stuff" I'm doing and accomplishing. But, isn't that what life is? Really, everything we do is just stuff. Even friends, although precious, are temporary. Jobs, even family, they're all different in eternity. Scary thought, aye? In cschool, we had to come up with a word and write it on a little circle we put on our keychains. Most of the girls put "love" or "perseverance" or "peace". I put "NOW" and "purpose". I want to live in the now, make the most of what I'm doing at this very moment, but remember my purpose and the bigger picture. So, for now, I'm doing what I can to take care of myself. Thanks to a new workout routine (yeah cheap elliptical), lots of water, healthy food, and a regular sleep schedule, I have never felt better! I'm trying to remember that friendships are temporary, as most of my close friends are away on vacation or falling away, while making the most of people that I love that ARE around, and new amazing people that have come into my life this summer :) Speaking of the NOW, we are engaged! I sent out invitations today (eek!), so make sure to check your mailbox here in the next week :D Oh, and here are some pictures from our amazing engagement shoot. Our photographer is a friend here in CO, René Tate Photography, check her out at www.renetate.com. The pictures are from Glen Eyrie and downtown :) Enjoy!
