Count your Blessings Tuesday #31

Today I am grateful for:

• a lovely spring break with lovely weather
• great friends
• a husband that humors me by going shopping with me and helps me pick out clothes :)
• stupid movies
• people who appreciate my photography enough to hire me! 
• my health and the health of my family... can't take that for granted.

Dream Lens Update....

Goal:  $1,739.95
Current:  $743.27
Need:  $996.68
-------------------------
After July:  $496.68
-------------------------

Woot?!!! After July I think I may be closer to my lens!  I thought I probably wouldn't make enough to get it this year but it looks like I just may!  Now, my business is not really making a profit since I'll be using the money I make to buy equipment FOR the business.... but isn't all business that way?  A lot of loss in the beginning and then it's all gains?  Oh well, I have fun doing it regardless ;)

AWESOMENESS 

That pretty much summarizes this week.  I've been eating healthy and working out EVERY day for 30 minutes.... sweating so much I have to go directly to the shower after working out.  

I feel great about myself and what I'm doing and I hope to keep it up.  I'm grateful for C because he's been cheering me on and exercising with me.   Go us!
