Some neat stuff...

I have been building my photography business for about a year now and there have been some new things I have been doing over these past few weeks...As some of you know I was away from home (Odessa) for about a month and a half...aka...way too long. But for good reason. I was in Houston, TX working on building my business and networking. I have realized that discontentment is necessary for success...Meaning that if I was totally content with where I am currently I would not be striving to be a better photographer. Don't get me wrong, I love my life, but God has placed me here so that I do everything to His glory...I need to strive to be better all the time to give Him 100% of the glory for the things that happen in my life! I have been abundantly blessed over these past few weeks...I was asked to do all of the photography for the musical that my younger brother was in; what a blessing!!! Then the day of the musical (which some would find stressful) I was asked to do the videography...again a huge blessing, because not only do I have all of the still shot memories, but I get to make sure the DVD is top notch for my lil bro!! SOO MUCH FUN!!! God has more than provided for Brant and me and I can't wait to see what else he has in store for us over this next year!! Thank you Lord, for the many blessings you have poured out on our family...may we turn and bless others as you call us to! Here is the cast of the musical (25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at Alvin High School) The one in the suspenders is my lil bro Eric...Ok...so he's not so little but he is still the youngest of the 3 of us  :0)

Old friend...

I have been gone from my home town for 6 years now...Only coming home for a few days at a time and while here I have usually only been able to see family and had a hard time trying to see friends. This time I have been blessed to be able to stay longer and to enjoy some time with some old friends from high school...Actually the friend pictured is from elementry, and the 2 friends not pictured were from high school, either way I have realized how amazing all of these people really are. I mean, I knew they were amazing because they were great friends during my youth, but now...it says alot about a person when they can just pick up where you left off and not be completely awkward because you have missed out on so much! They just laugh and joke and let you in on all you have missed out on because they love you and miss being with you!  It is such an amazing feeling to know that God blesses you through the love of others!! I have missed hanging out with old friends...You guys are awesome! Here are a few of my faves!!!

I love having a Vacation Home!

So I just realized that Brant and I have a vacation home in the houston/ galveston area. We don't live here often, mostly during the holidays...its absolutely wonderful! Its so "homey" and lived in...ok...so his parents live here and its not really our house...but its our vacation house none-the-less  :0)  
Anyway, I am currently in the Houston for the next few weeks for my brother's musical...it's a huge blessing to be able to work from home and have the freedom to stay longer than expected! Plus, I have been able to learn more about how God is working in my life and through me to encourage really important people in my life! I didn't realize how much I wanted to be here and stay here...at least for a long enough time to let others make memories with the Cade Mister! It has been wonderful! I am missing Brant like crazy but because God gave humans the genius to make a webcam it makes things lots easier! Well...until January 23rd I will be here...hopefully working on photography jobs!! Here is some from the last photo shoot with Billy and Tisha...
