JourneyLite

Do you know anyone who could benefit from obesity surgery? I do. It can be such a struggle to come to the decision to have weight loss surgery. But, I recently found out about JourneyLite, which helps you from the very beginning of the process all the way through to aftercare. Their website also offers message boards, support groups, recipes, and more. Its such a good idea because it shows you that you are not alone.

That's my nephew in the picture below. He is a joy to be around. So hppy and giggly. He's always babbling about something, or "telling stories." But, he kind of worries me. I don't know much about child development, so maybe there's nothing to worry about, but he's 2 1/2 and hasn't started talking at all. He will just make noises or grunt. Is this normal? My other nephew was talking by the time he was just over one year old.

Because he is just too precious for words...

Digital Photography

If you know me, you know I love to take pictures. Pictures of nature, landscapes, friends, family...anything! I just love it! In fact, I have recently started up my own website to sell my prints. And just on Monday, I did my first photo shoot with my neice.

My biggest challenge right now is finding the right camera. I want a new one! There's just so many cameras out there, I just don't know which to choose. I have my eye on a couple models, though. My brother-in-law just got a Cannon Digital Elph, and I love it! So small and sleek, and takes awesome pictures. That would be a great everyday camera. But, I think I'm leaning more towards a Digital SLR so that I can expand my photography business. I think I want a Nikon D40. I just have to save up my pennies!
My vacation is almost over :( I am so not ready to go back to work. I did get good & burned today, though, so that takes a little of the fun out of a day at the beach...

Drug Addiction Forum

Don't we all know or know of someone who struggles with some type of drug addiction? Its such a painful thing to witness. I came across this drug addiction forum where people who are struggling with addictions and their family members can go to share experiences and ask questions about rapid detox treatments for drug addictions. I think its a great site and would definitely recommend it to anyone I know who may be facing addiction. For an addict, getting answers and knowing they are not the only one going through it may make all the difference in the world!

We are tubing down the river today! Should be fun. What are you guys doing for the long weekend?
