These three items were all given to me by family. The gold heart necklace was given to me when I was two by my Grandandy Elbert DeLozier, who is my Mom's grandfather. My Mom has one exactly like this. When I was talking with my Mom she told me that she thinks her mom, so my Grandmother, has one as well. My Grandandy apparently gave them his girls. The ring was given to me by, my Dad's mom, Granny. The ring was her mothers. In my bathroom at home I have pictures of the three of us all about the same age, I was a senior in high school. The earrings belonged to my Aunt Lenora. She was married to my Mom's brother. She died in 1993, I think, of a heart attack. My uncle gave these to me after her death. The only other real diamonds I have other than my wedding rings. All these items were given in love. I often forget about these items because I safely store them away so I don't lose them. I did however where the ring on my wedding day as my something blue.

Things to do
A college roommate inspired to make a list of things I wanted to do in life. She had about 50 things on her list and they were all to do by the time she was 30. Her list was always changing though. I started this list back in 2002 or so I think. I have taken a few item off and I have added quite a few. I hope to continue to check items off and add things to this list. I always wanted to have the 100 Top Books of the Modern Library read by the time I was 30. I am about to turn 26 and still have 59 books left.

Dentist
I have never liked going to the dentist. My first experiences at the dentist were not too bad I guess. I remember playing the waiting room with all the toys and getting a sucker when I was done. I had two teeth pulled. I thought that the tooth fairy would bring me extra money because I had the tooth and the root. No such luck though. The teeth were still worth the same amount. When I was in 5th or 6th grade I got braces. I had always wanted them, but once I got them I hated them. It was hard to floss and when they adjusted them it hurt so much.
Once I had my braces taken off.....5 years later my teeth were in pretty bad shape. I had never really had cavities before braces and once they were off I had a plethora of them. I had my first root canal when I was 18. I had to have it redone when I was 20 because the dentist missed an extra root that I had. Since then I have had multiple root canals, crowns, and fillings. I fill like I am being tortured when I go to the dentist. The sounds, smells, and looks of everything in the dentist office scares me.
My three most recent dentist/specialist have had TVs hooked up in the office so you can watch TV while they grind away at your teeth and what not. I am ready to be able to go in for a cleaning and be told your teeth look great! Then I will be able to enjoy the TVs.
All this is brought about because I had a crown and a few fillings on at the first of the year. I began have major sensitivity issues and a lot pain on the back right side of my jaw. My dentist booked me for my next appointment to have a few more fillings done, but it was about a month away. I though I would be able to make it through. I could not handle the pain. I could not sleep, eat, or even breath without it hurting. They began running some cold tests and all I could do was cry. I felt so dumb for crying. They sent me on over to a root canal specialist who told me I would need two root canals done.
We got one done and it seems to be doing great. The other tooth is now infected and is causing all sorts of problems. I have been taking Vicodin, Advil, and Amoxicillin to try and take care of the infection and pain. It seems the more I go to the dentist the more I don't like them. Not to mention how expensive they are!

P90X
I am finishing up week four of P90X for the second time. I have not seen as much weight loss this time but I can feel a difference in my muscles. This round has been a lot more fun and I can't wait to start the second month. We will take pictures and measurements on Sunday. I can't say I am really looking forward to seeing the numbers. In all the blogs that I have read it seems like the first month is all for building your base muscle and then the second month you start to lose weight. For the most part I feel better about myself and that is really all that matters. I know that taking care of your body is one of the most important things that I can do. Knowing that I am doing that makes me feel accomplished. I have also start using the Loseit program on the iPhone. Not a perfect application but great for what I am looking for. It allows you to track calories will very little work and also helps you set goals and know when you will achieve them. I have only started using the application a few days ago, but I think it is going to be an invaluable resource to me losing weight. I have set a goal weight and if I can lose just 1 pound a week I will be done at the end of June. Then I can work on maintaining. At this point in time I feel like 1 pound a week is not that much to ask of myself. I think I will be able to acheive this with P90X and a healthy diet.
I know this is a little long winded and not about much but it is what I have been thinking about the past week or so.
I am nervous about learning a brand new set of excercises but I am looking forward to it at the same time. I can't wait to see what kind of results I can get from a healthy diet and hard work without having to go the gym!

New
New equipment, new site, and new name! I have purchased and have received some new equipment to help out with my hopes and dreams of one day helping support my family with photography. I have finally decided on a name as well. FiveSquaredPhotography
I have purchased the name on the web and so I have a small and very unfinished website up with pictures. http://www.fivesquaredphotography.com Today I did a small shoot with the Christian family to test out the new equipment. I was extremely happy with the results. I couldn't help but post a lot of the pictures. I couldn't pick just 1 or 2. Sorry if it is overwhelming!

I've Been Tagged!
I was tagged in the picture game.The object of the picture tag is to:
1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer.
2) Select the 4th picture in the folder.
3) Explain the picture.
4) Tag 4 people to do the same.
No cheating (cropping, editing, etc.) Have fun!!!
Everyone else has a cute picture of their kids or of themselves and this is what I have. I feel a little ripped off. Oh well, here is the story.
This is our first Scion XB that was obviously in a wreck summer of 2007. I was driving to Amarillo with my Mom to look at new cars for her and for some reason I was driving my car and she was driving hers. I was following her and a semi pulled in between us. We drove for a mile or so and after that it gets real fuzzy. The next thing I know I am right up on the semi's trailer and so I jam on my brakes. I don't seem to slow down and I really start to panic. I was attached the the semi's trailer. I put my car in neutral because I can't do anything else and I continue to push the brake as hard as I can. The semi finally pulls away from me taking my front bumper with him. Apparently the semi had changed lanes but then without looking came back into my lane. I had already moved up enough for him to grab my bumber and latch on. I don't think that he even knew it happened. We had called 911 and they looked through all the road leaving Amarillo and found no semi with my bumper attached and we never did find the bumper. I was not injured and made it out fine. The car was said to be a total loss. Sinc this is a sad picture I am attaching picture of the morning of the accident because I had just hand wash and waxed the car as well a picture of the new car that we got after this.
