I am remaining busy doing some photo gigs before we move.
Today – I did this one…
I just wish I had more of me so I could do portraits of all my friends families before I moved.
Theres always room for visits to Georgia tho! ;-)
Between the packing
Our house today
I thought this may help give people a visual idea of the chaos in our home right now :)
At least Owen seems un-phased with it.
Who if you take notice is drinking from a sippy cup!
He is our odd-ball baby and almost always pushes the sippy cups way.
This particular morning I had sippy success – it only lasted a moment though.
More photos of the chaos to come!
Our baby sitter… the TV
Our yard sale went well yesterday!
We brought in around $350! – which honestly was more than I expected. So for us, well worth doing.
My poor boys spent the 1st few hours of the day doing lots of this…
Oh yes… our TV the baby sitter…
It was saturday morning though, so thats ok right? :)
Don’t you remember waking up and watching cartoons for hours on saturday mornings? I vaguely do (I dont think we had cable until I was a teenager – or maybe we did?), but my husband remembers it vividly. He said he use to sleep in a sleeping bag, in front of the TV on friday nights – so come morning, when he wakes, all he has to do is turn the TV on. He liked TV a lot more than me apparently ;-) – I do not have memories like that.
Its not the norm for us, but it worked for today. The boys did very well and were entertained by the movie MEGAMIND (thxs redbox).
Owen was with us most of the time outside – either eating, playing with yard sale toys or being pushed by Taite (who ventured out from time to time) in the stroller. He also took a morning nap which helped.
So heres to a successful yard sale.
Then an evening spent with my husbands family.
Where my sweet mother in law made me a cake :) – and an amazing dinner.
Thank you all those who gave me the sweet birthday wishes yesterday as well.
To Relax
Even throughout the hustle and bustle we are going through right now… I do manage to find some time to just sit… and relax. Often times with a baby in hand of course.
Owen was so relaxed yesterday while I held him watching a TV show with my older two… He just laid his head back and drooled a bit on my arm :) – I loved it… drool and all, even though it didn’t last nearly long enough.
I tried to snag a few cell phone photos to remember the moment.
Seems like these times are getting less and less… They grow up way to fast.
Where?
I have debated over and over if I should write this post…
Do people really need to know where we are moving?
Do I want those who have hurt us to know?
But after talking to my husband about things – he really sees no reason to hide it. Once we move to our new home, our church membership will move (so that is a dead giveaway) – but also with my business… I have got to start getting the word out that I will no longer be in NC.
So for those who do not know yet…
We will be moving to the Northern Atlanta area. I won’t say on here which city exactly… but it is a very nice one that I am excited to get to know. This for now will be our home for at least a year… after that who knows where the Lord will ultimately call you… while we still have such a burden for the area of NE NC… we also have no idea right now what to do… or if that is even really where God wants us.
So during this period of being ministered to… prayed for… and just uplifted by an amazing church and a great group of counsel, mentors and friendships to come… we know that God has his perfect plan for our family.
So!
With my husband still not having a job… we are looking to rely on my business for some of our income (more so than normal) – so if you are interested in a portrait session, a wedding photographer (I only take a few weddings a year btw) or even a BIRTH or BIRTHDAY photographer – let me know.
Here are a few examples of my work…
You can view more on my business site at www.andrea-wood.com – you can also e-mail me via that website as well, if you are interested in a session.
Thanks everyone for your prayers and support!
Our move date is currently set for August 17th…
We will load up the truck on the 16th…
But after Aug 10th our internet will be cut off... so I may be unavailable to blog for a good while. E-mails will be checked off and on between the 10th and our move date via my husbands Droid phone.
Blessings!

Intro's are never easy for me. I guess because they force me to sum up myself and our lives into a short paragraph. As non-complex as I am, this is hard :) - so in short...
I am a daughter to a Savior, a wife to a Pastor... & a mother of 3 sweet, loud, adorable, charming, fun boys.... [read more....]
