Ciao friends and family!

This blog is now my personal space.  My life as it happens.  A way for friends and family to stay connected while we continue our military journey from place to place. 

In the past this blog has been mainly a space to write about clients and their families. I will no longer be updating this blog with my recent commissioned work. 

In the land of cyberworld, I have been hesitant to write about my personal life.  In an effort to keep connected to my friends and family, while still maintaining my privacy, I will now have all future post require a password.  If you have not been given the password yet, please text me, use the contact form here on the blog or email me.

Super excited I will be saying that to some folks in person where “yall” was invented!  TEXAS BABY TEXAS!!  I have had a trip planned for a rockin workshop for a good while now.  And it is just around the corner in October…Super stoked about that…What to pack and what to bring is keeping me up at night now…I do this…let my brain stay up while my body is screaming for sleep…but that is just me…After my workshop I will come back to Okinawa for a few more months and then PCS time..Man time is just flying by!  I still cant believe I have only had my business offically open for 3 months..Yes 3 months..can you believe it!!..It is has been a crazy ride that I am on. And I am lovin it..My clients…you guys rock!!..I am so thankful to you (I know I need to update the website with all the new images…anyone out their want a job for a few hours….LOL).  Thank you for inviting my into your lives and allowing my to stop time for just a moment.   90% of my buisness has come by referrals and for that I thank you! Thank you for telling your friends and neighbors. 

****warning*** I am going to get sappy on you…and most importantly thank you for supporting and encouraging me.  It means so much to me all of your kind words and trusting me with your memories!  Thank you thank you thank you!  (and yes this is just a sample of the sappy-ness that will come as time gets closer for me to leave..My life has changed to so much on this island and it will be bitter sweet when I leave)

Rocks like a rock star..I am his groupie of the year.    I say hey…lets get some tunes on the blog..and bam!! just like that we have tunes!!  The music you hear on my website… www.sheliastone.comand the blog is by Bishop Allen- Click Click Click…I was looking for some new music for the site…(i like to change things a lot) and a friend back home found these cats…great music…any-hoot…i asked if I could use their song and they said of course..and I was like..awesome!

how about that Olympic Opening Ceremony…..I wonder if it went by really fast or really slow for that those cute girls that kept waving and cheering everyone into the arena?? 

What an amazing feeling it must be for those athletics walking in there..to the Olympics…Cloud 9 they must of all been floating on!!

Cool concept of the scroll unfolding before the lighting of the torch!  There were a couple of times I thought the flame went out..I thought …uh-oh!

Bernie Mac died.   Tony said something about it …and about 2 hours later it sank in..Bernie Mac..The Bernie Mac…I had to look it up on my connection to the news…WWW…and there it was…Complications from pneumonia. Such a young funny guy.  Rest his soul.

So it is never a good sound to hear keys jingling from coming in the door from your husband at 5:20AM..I myself was just getting up to start a super early day of photog sessions.  He on the other hand was just coming in from a Midnight Madness Softball Tournament, only to have to a fun filled ENTIRE day of a very energetic 2.5 yrs that is very well rested…I bet it was Super FUN for Tony…LOL!! 

I myself had an awesome day of work planned..but i dont really think I can call it work when I am doing what I love..is it really work when you get to play with the cutest kids and watch parents tickle their children….or when you get to ride zip lines and play and hide and seek..or chase ducks with a 1 yr old..or photograph a little new soul in the cutest little tutu…or when you have this scene greeting you first thing in the morning…

______________

speaking of Tony..he has a question…a question about A/C and women…”Are all women cold or is just my wife??”

This is an on going battle in our house..I turn the A/C off..he turns it on…I turn it off..he turns it on…and this cycle continues and continues..I need to get M on my side and he will be out numbered!  LOL!

____________

so we pray..we pray before we eat…but we pray a certain way..which way is that you ask…M’s way…and M is quick to tell us when we don’t do it right…

M: Mom lets pray

ME: Ok 

M: Dear God…Hey Dad don’t close your eyes..open them

M: Dear God We thank you for…Hey Mom not like a diamond..like this…watch my hands..

ME: oh okay…

M: Dear God we thank you for our food…(insert some japenesse phase for thank you)

It is super funny and super cute! That is our M
