Schrute is doing great – he is SUCH a cuddler!

Pay no attention to the hideous 70’s drummer boy couch …

STAGES

Filed under: baby barden — admin at 9:40 pm on Sunday, April 5, 2009

There is an Office episode where Michael talks about the stages of grief – it is ridiculous exchange but is starting to make sense.

I think I have reached the anger stage. Right now – I am angry. Angry that others are pregnant and not me. I am so happy for them – but at the same time it hurts more than I can describe. I saw a pregnant woman in Wal*Mart this past week – and nearly started crying right there in the store. This weekend – the smallest things set me off – and moody – man am I moody!

Jared and I can’t even think about trying again – but at the same time – it is the only thing I want. I have wanted to be a mother since I can remember.

My emotions are such a mess and fluctuate from moment to moment.

NATALIE STOVALL

Filed under: concert — admin at 9:26 pm on Sunday, April 5, 2009

Natalie Stovall – the opening act at the Josh Gracin concert – was AMAZING!

As most of you know – I love Emerson Drive and they put on a live version of “Devil Went Down to Georgia” that is incredible! I can honestly say that Natalie rivals the likes of Emerson Drive and their live show! I would love to see them together!

I had to run home to get my long lens – and am so happy I did!

I posted my pictures on my website here and then on facebook.

Natalie saw my pictures on facebook and is using my picture from the concert as her profile picture!

I am so excited!

Thanks Natalie!

She will be in Williamsport on May 1st – Friday – if anyone would like to come with!

TOP O’ THE HILL

Filed under: animals,family,top o' the hill — admin at 8:24 am on Saturday, April 4, 2009

My parents are starting a new business soon – Top O’ the Hill Farms – I think that is the name anyway …

They have joined with their friend Melody to raise Dexter cows – a smaller, bettter quality cow that produces milk for the lactose intolerant.

I went down to see a few of the calves – Mom said they were TINY – smaller than Schrute – but I didn’t believe her!

I should have – they are TEENY TINY!

I LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC

Last night we went to yet another concert – Natalie Stovall opened for Josh Gracin – the line was much shorter than David Cook – and the weather much warmer!

Natalie was AWESOME – she plays the fiddle – something I would give my arm to be able to do …

PHOENIX

Filed under: promotional photography — admin at 10:28 am on Thursday, April 2, 2009

I am officially leaving Phoenix this week – as the Facility Secretary. I am starting a new position as the HELPDESK person for our billing/documentation system.

I will be adding new information as needed – hopefully 10 to 20 hours a week. I knew that I would need some sort of part-time commitment in quitting my Secretary job.

Phoenix also asked me to photograph some promotional shots for a few of their clinics.

On the 21st – Jared and I drove down to State College to photograph the staff and some clinic shots.

I took head shots of each Physical Therapist and the Massage Therapist with some group shots.

I will be taking photos of a few of the other clinics coming up soon …

WHEN IT RAINS …

Filed under: bardenisms — admin at 10:23 am on Thursday, April 2, 2009

IT POURS …

Seems like since we have been back from Florida – and finding out we were pregnant – everything has been a struggle.

Between absolute unnecessary drama, photography mishaps, Schrute and his messes – to – finding out that we were having a miscarriage, my camera breaking, RITZ CAMERA being jerks about it, a dear friend getting into a serious car accident, my portfolio getting rained on …

It just never lets up …

The month of March is always a dreaded one for us. In March of 2004 we found out that Jared’s dad had Leukemia – March of 2006 is when my jaw pain started – March of 2008 my sister had a miscarriage within a week of Jared and I having one in March of this year.

We are so happy to be looking at the month of March in the rearview mirror!

AI UPDATE

Filed under: television — admin at 9:29 am on Wednesday, April 1, 2009

Oh American Idol – the judges play the audience so well …

I thought that Matt was FANTASTIC!

They thought it was the wrong song and that is not his style – they tell him what they want to mold him as.

Scott – was AWFUL and looked AWFUL – they told him they loved it!

Allison was GREAT and looked so cute – they told her it was a mess – more of a fashion critque than a vocal at all.

Stupid judges …

My pick to go home tonight would love to be Scott – but he is turning out to be my Kristy Lee from last year …

So – I am going to pick …

anoop_desai_210x202

with my wild card as …
