The summer is flying by!

I feel like the summer just got going, but then I look at the date and realize that it is flying by before my eyes. I have to really get to tackling the tasks on my list. By the end of this month, I will have all but 1 credit card paid off. This is such an exciting thing for me. For those of you that know me well know that I have really been working hard on this part for several months. Hopefully by the next month I will tackle the last one. Keep me in your prayers on this one, as it will relieve a ton of stress in my life. By the end of the year, I hope to be done paying off my car, too. I don't know about any of you out there, but thinking about getting out of debt has to be the biggest relief imaginable. Anybody else know what I am feeling in these last few months of crunching numbers??
In addition to crunching numbers, I am eager to start jumping into a couple of outlets for making money, such as photography and Mary Kay. I have 2 Mary Kay parties in the next couple of weeks, which is so exciting to me! I also think I have come to a photography name...what do you all think of "Don't Blink Photography"? It has 2 meanings, and can remain the same when I get married, since it doesn't have my last name in it. And no, there are not any prospects currently, but eventually I feel God will bless me in that area. No worries until then. I would totally love input in the name. Feel free to give me feedback. My goal with Mary Kay is to add 3 new team members this summer. I really want to go on target for my first free car this summer, but need to believe that I can do it! If any of you know people that would be interested in hearing about the amazing opportunity Mary Kay has to offer, please let me know.
I have also been enjoying some time in the sun and hanging with friends. Megan has been hanging with us a lot, and it was been so much fun having her around. I have been cooking a bit, trying to avoid eating out, since it is much healthier that way. I am trying to lose weight and then manage it better. I have been swimming...yes, UNDERWATER, too!! I have not been underwater in 8 years, and it feels so amazing! I will post pictures of the initial dunk in the next post. I am hoping that my tan will come together soon. I am going to Florida next week, so I will be taking in the beautiful sun there as an extension of being poolside in Texas. I have a few pictures to share from the last pool visit. Isn't he just precious?? He was using complete sentences all day. He said things like, "I go away," "I want my duck," and "I did it!" Right, Tiff? ;)

No more crazy talk! Maybe if we don't mention the quickly diminishing summer, it will just go on forever? ;)

That little guy sure had a fun time in your pool. Thanks so much for capturing some cute moments on film!
