I've been reading blogs for a long time now, but never seemed to have the time to start one myself. I actually started the blog several months ago, but never made 1 post!
Sooo, I'm going to give it a try! The blog will mainly be for sharing photographs of the sweet family's I photograph, but since it's winter...I haven't been shooting much lately. So I'm going to start with my week.
Monday I didn't have to go into work until ten due to the weather which= much excitement! I dropped the boy's off at the sitter's then went on in. I went to Monroe to meet Brittany, the Ouachita 4-H Agent, so that we could purchase decorations for Ag Expo Friday night. We had lunch at O'Charlies then set out to purchase deco at Hobby Lobby. We decided on a Mardi Gras theme for Freeze Modeling that was super cute.
After that, we went to Ruston to set up an account at the bank for work. We finished up and I started heading back toward's home. I needed to stop in Monroe to pick up a few things. About halfway between Ruston and Monroe my radio started shutting on and off, then my lights, then my gas gauge, then my speedometer, then my window, then my windshield wipers...keep in mind this is the day all the school's were out for the WEATHER. It was starting to rain and NOTHING in my car worked. I could only drive it. It was also getting very close to dark and I didn't think I would get very far with no lights. Sooo, being the smart person that I am, I made it to the mall and pulled over there, so that I could shop and eat if I was going to be there awhile. This was at 5:15.
Trent happened to be an hour into the woods, so it took him 2 hours to get there. I managed to open my hood and beat on my battery cables with a crowbar for about 15 minutes, but ofcourse that wasn't the case. It was freezing, I was all alone, and not one person was nice enough to stop. The security guard must have passed me atleast 10 times, and not once did he ask if I needed help. So much for people helping other people out.
Trent finally made it and three hours later, $237 less, I had a new alternator and a working car. So I made it home around 11 pm. Good times. :)
I'll finish with a pic of me and Brittany from Ag Expo last night.
