Website Revamp

I've been working really hard on my website to make it so that people can buy photos right off the internet. The cool part is that the company that sets it all up takes care of the credit card billing, they print and ship all the photos to my clients directly, and they send me a check.

The bad part is they take a big chunk of the money right up front. That means the prices for prints is HIGH. But, I wasn't selling any photos at all after the weddings were over, so anything will be an improvement.

But, the good part again is that prints I order directly from my same old place will be the same prices and I can still give that good value to my clients. Anyway, I'm pleased with how it looks and how it works.

I got the tree on there but I do not know how to turn it upright. I'm learning. Now I will try to get the fireplace on. Ok, I got two of the piano and a picture from our church party last night.

Rachel loved her birthday gift.

I am trying to post a picture from my new camera for the first time. Here goes.

Not bad because I was in the back of the church. This is Christa's wedding.

"Empty House"

It is really happening!! We are getting the house packed up!! Little by little!! The packers come on the 19th to do anything I did not get done.

JR ROTC Ball

Scott went to the Air Force JR ROTC Ball tonight and took his friend Emily. They were so cute!! I know they will have a great time!!

Busy Week!

Well, this is a very busy time for me, but I thought I would write a quick hello anyway. I am doing some sub work for two accounts this week. It is a little crazy, but will bring in some extra money. Tomorrow I will be decorating for the Christmas banquet at the church. I always enjoy the trouble we get into doing that. Friday I will be working at the school as usual. Mrs. Sarah Miller is scheduled to be induced that morning so Bro. Miller will not be there (Unless something happens before then). They are great kids though and haven't given me any problems in the past. Friday evening is the banquet. We always have a great time and I'm looking forward to it. Saturday will be filled with lots and lots of paperwork and hopefully a little cleaning. My mom will be here next week and will spend several weeks with us. After that she will be in and out for a little while before heading off to the other side of the state and some up in Canada. Please keep praying for her leg. Being in the car is very hard since she can't stretch it out like she needs to.
I get lots of inquiries about how I'm doing since last Tuesday's visit to the dentist. Actually a visit would have been shorter. It was more of an extended stay!!!! Anyway, I am doing very well. The only time I have any problems at all is if something is too hard to chew, or (as I figured out the other night while out with my friends) if I laugh too much. My jaw gets tired quickly. I can still talk just as much though so don't worry. I just have to get more talking done in a shorter amount of time. All in all though I'm doing wonderful and I thank you all for your prayers and help.
I will have to sign off for now. Have a wonderful day and I'll talk at you later.

Our trip to the Ubonrat Dam.

Surgery Day

Ok, so surgery day didn't go as well as we had hoped. Monty got off work and took me to the dentist. I'm so glad He came because I didn't feel like driving after it was said and done. They gave me an hour and a half slot and I filled three hours of it. The first tooth took an hour alone and they found a large cyst at the tip of the root. The others were slightly easier to work with, but not much. I don't numb all the way so it was pretty painful, but at least it is now over. He was a very good doctor and did everything he could to make me more comfortable. With the pain meds I'm doing well and of course mom is helping out a lot. A man in our church gave Monty a check for $400 on Sunday to help with the expenses. God really does provide. It is a humbling thing to be the one receiving, but God knew what we needed. Have a good day. I love you all.
