First Photo Shoot




So yesterday I did my first Photo shoot 

as a photographer in Jacksonville

It also was my first time going to the 

beach in North Carolina since I moved here last September

It just sucked because the first time wasn't with my 

husband but it was still an amazing day.

It was sunny out but it was so so windy which 

made it very cold. By the end of the shoot my fingers 

were beat red and it had so much water running out of my eyes. 

Anyways here are a few pictures from the shoot

Just another day....

Well, I have been up all day trying to write this 

research paper and it has been killing me

I just now finished it and sadly to say it still didn't meet 

the length requirement but at this point I don't care because I think it sounds good.

.....................

I am just ready for it to be tomorrow

I get to do my first photo shoot as a photographer in Jacksonville

When I was back in Washington I loved to take photos for fun but they were

more nature and pet photos

I am so excited to do portraits. 

Tomorrow will also be the first time I go to the beach 

since I moved here in September

Hopefully I will post some pictures this weekend 

.............

In the meantime here are a few pictures I was just

messing around with when I was taking them

Baby Chase

So since I didn't bring Tiger back with me I was heart broken because I love having a pet with me. 
SOOOO......

I adopted a kitten

This is Chase



He was very shy when I first got him.
Which is understandable since he was at the animal shelter. 
Now he runs around and gets in kill mode. 
He is very gentle though and loves to sleep 
above our heads at night on the pillows.


 He also loves to play in his cube
well mostly likes to roll it over so he can't get out of it.




Not much else to say about him besides I can't wait to get 
Tiger back here so they can play together. Although she may teach him some bad habits



Lawrence put him in his sweater pocket
 and he ended up loving it in there








Christmas Leave

So I know I am writing this a little bit too late but 
It is something I just had to share......


As you know this is Tiger. 
My cat that I brought to NC with me from WA




Since we were going to fly back to WA for Christmas 
I decided that I was going to fly her back with us too (haha)
Easier said than done

I took her to the vet to get sedatives for her so 
she would be a good girl on the plane. 
The vet told me to try them out a day earlier
 so I could see how long it took to effect her. 
So I gave her 1/4 of the pill like told to and an hour and
 a half later I could see that she was much more sleepy. I thought okay this will be fine. 
Boy I was sure wrong

When Lawrence's cousin took us to the airport at 4 in the 
morning she was screaming in the truck and 
Lawrence wanted to throw her out the window. 
So we got to the airport and she was fine as I carried her around. 
The we get on the plane and get going and 
she is meowing and digging at her fabric/mesh bag.

By the time we got onto our second flight I just knew it was
 going to be a very long day. Our next flight was five hours long and i was dreading it. 
When we were about halfway through this flight she was screaming
 her head off and no joke chewing her way through the plastic mesh. 
So being the idiot that I am I decided I was going to put my
 hand in to pet her and clam her down. She ended up shoving her 
teeth through my hand and using her very sharp 
claws to tear my hand apart. I pulled my hand out once
 I could pry her off with my other hand and was crying because
 I was in pain and my hand was all bloody. 

By the time I got to WA I was relieved to finally be done with my horrid experience. 
I knew we still had another two hour drive but my parents 
were picking us up so I knew it would be that bad once 
Tiger could get out and roam around the car. 

Well she was so happy still cried a little bit was not going insane. 

She even got back into her bag and was laying in 
it while we sat in the parking lot of Walmart.

Anyways I made an appointment with our mobile vet that comes to our town to get her a new health certificate and to see if there was anything else we could do so she would be calm for her next flight.

I ended up bailing on our way to meet up with the vet since she was freaking out in the car. I could not handle another 12 hours of flying with her again. 

Funny story to this whole thing is that I kept telling the 
vet that the sedative 
DID NOT WORK.
SHe kept telling me she thought that Tiger was
 just hiding it is her cheek and spiting it our when I wasn't looking.
 I knew that was wrong.


Well......... Last week my mom took her to the same vet again 
(since we ended up leaving her with my parents in WA)
She was going to go get fixed since she had already
 had an appointment to get fixed when I brought her back which obviously didn't happen.

She had figured out how to use the doggie door while we were 
there to and was seen with another cat that lives in our garage. 
( She also managed to get gasoline all over her tail, but and hind legs)

When the vet went to go fix she found out that indeed she was pregnant
non of the medication worked that they gave her, she pulled out her IV, and tore all her stitches so they had to re-stitch her and said they believe me now. 

She is officially a CRAZY CAT.....

And she loves it at my parents since she has dogs to chase and she gets into everything




She is still my baby though :)
