So I've been feeling kinda yuck off and on all week. And today, I've just been tired and nauseous all day! I hate being nauseous, at least when I actually throw up I feel better. Idk what's going on.
Nathan had his first interview today, which turns out it was phone one. I thought it was an in person interview. He was really nervous and didn't really feel confident when he got done. But I overheard it and I think he did a wonderful job. I mean obviously I didn't know what the other person on the phone was saying. But I said a prayer for him this morning and I'm staying positive! I'm just hoping that if this is what God has for him, than he'll get it.
Anyways, so I'm making something new tonight. Chicken spaghetti! I got the recipe from my sweet friend Karrie, and got to try some yesterday when I hung out with her. It was amazing, so I'm hoping that everyone likes it as well. I'll make a post with pictures later after I've made it. =]
Well that's all for now. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday!
Much love,

I will trust in the Lord with all my heart
I feel a wave a coming... and it's a wave of good luck! Today is a much better day than yesterday. I was so very sad yesterday and I'm still blaming the weather. I'm the type of person who wears my heart on my sleeve and I'm easily persuaded and manipulated. And I think that's why the weather effects me so much!
Anyways I've been up since about 4:30am this morning, I woke up to Nathan getting ready for work and I just couldn't go back to sleep! So I made some coffee, and I've done my workout, sang some karaoke. LOL And ate lunch. I thought about maybe making some crock-pot apples and cinnamon! So Nathan as always text me on his break and guess what?!?!?!!!
He got a call from Leggett & Platt for a job interview this Thursday!! And he is showing the business plan to someone this evening. I can't even begin to tell you how happy and proud I am of my husband right now. He is such a wonderful provider and he is just doing amazing things for our lives and our future! I honestly believe that because we've been staying so faithful to the Lord about providing Nathan with the right job that the Lord is seeing that and fulfilling that need in our lives. The need for Nathan to get out of Lazboy and have a job that isn't so demanding on his body. I mean if we're gonna start having kids, I need him in tip top shape!! LOL
I encourage anyone that is "needing" something to just remain faithful, and positive. The Lord knows the desires of our hearts and will fulfill those desires in His way and His time. I know for me that is a hard pill to swallow because for me I want to be pregnant right now. But I've set a date, and God knows that and hears mine as well as family and friends prayers. So I'll keep you posted on that. So don't give up, if you're prayers aren't being answered right now. Just because they're not answered right now, does not mean they have gone unheard.
So please if you could take a minute out of your day if you read this and say a prayer that all goes well for him at his interview, I would greatly appreciate it and I know he would too!
YAY for good news, fingers are crossed!!
Ask, and it will be given to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you.

Much love and many Blessings,

This dang weather =[
I'm blaming the weather for my down mood today. I miss my mom a lot today, so I made her a video.
The song I recorded for it, I've actually recorded before back in 2010. Recording it today was hard, I never thought this song would hit so close to home. It describes everything I'm feeling today and most days. The lyrics are beautiful! A little about the video. I'm singing the song, there are tons of pictures of my mom and of us kids with her. And the poem was a poem we had read at her funeral.
Mom I love you and miss you so much!! To see it, click the video link below.

Oh the joys of stuffing yourself with yummy food on Thanksgiving! LOL
Well this year was very different. We had two Thanksgiving dinners, and will have a third on Sunday December 2nd, with my siblings. Wednesday we got to my grandparents house about 7pm. Along the way to KC, we stopped in Carthage and Nathan got me some Bamboo Gardens general chicken!! If you know me, you know this made me VERY HAPPY!! Then we stopped in Nevada to grab some business cd's and book from Chris. We traded spots, and I drove. We got in a my grandparents both forgot we were coming in. LOL they were showing their age. =P They were just eating dinner, and so we took over a chair for them to my aunt Cathy and uncle Jim's. We stayed till about midnight or so played some Just Dance 3, and then watched Queen of the Damned. We went home and went to bed.
Thursday we got up, went and checked out the new QT, which is amazing by the way. They have a whole section of different flavors of tea. I can't decide if I liked the tropical green tea or the mango green tea best. Then we grabbed some light lunch, then took a nap. Yes we were pretty lazy that morning. LOL We woke up and it was close to time to go over, we went over and hung out with my cousin and her friend Terrance. Nathan brought himself some comfy clothes to change out of, so I ran back to my grandparents and got my comfy clothes. I wanted to freshen up some while I was there and so I washed my face and touched up my eyeliner and hair. While I was there I was listening to my Pandora radio on my phone and right when I got in the car to head back the song, I will remember you came on. I had a little break down, because that was played at my moms funeral. It was a good day, but deep down I was sad. It wasn't the same without her, and even though I know people grieve in different ways. It feels like I was the only one bothered by it. But anyways. Dinner was awesome, we laughed so much and it was very nice to be with loved ones. Then Nathan, Carolyn, Terrance, and I went downstairs those 3 played ERS, and I watched Paulie on Netflix. LOL Yes I'm cool and watch awesome movies!! =] Then Nathan and I headed home. Grandma and Grandpa were still up when we got there, it was nice to hang out with them for a little while before they went to bed since we had to leave before seeing them. We got our vacation dates set and I'm soooo excited I can't wait! Then they went to bed, Nathan we to sleep and I stayed up so I could post my black Friday/cyber Monday sale.
Friday::
Woke up at 7:20ish, took a shower, then got on the road. We drove all the way to Joplin, just to find out Dilyan wasn't going and wouldn't even answer his phone. But I'm seriously not going to get into that one right now. Then we headed to Monett. We had a great dinner with Nathan's side of the family. They fried their turkey which I was just saying at my families thanksgiving that I wanted to try. Funny how that worked itself out. LOL Then Nathan and I left, we came home. I checked some emails and then we took a nap. Nathan I guess didn't nap long at all. But I ended up sleeping till after 9. Which is why I'm up writing this blog at 2am!! Anyways I've done a lot of pinning on pinterest tonight and now I'm gonna head to bed, because I have to be up and in Carthage at noon tomorrow for a sr. shoot!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now time to get in the Christmas spirit. I'm really excited about this December. I'm doing something special for Nathan and he has NO IDEA!! mmmmwwwwhahahaha (my evil laugh!!) Have a great night, stay blessed!!
Much Love,

Days like today...
Days like today...
I dread, though they come far to often. Today is the 2 month anniversary of my moms death. It's crazy to say that actually. Because it seems like yesterday her and I were talking. She was wanting me to stay with her, because she said she missed me, but I had to go pick Nathan up. I still remember her arguing with me and Dilyan about how she was going to go soak in the tub, she didn't understand nor believe us that she probably couldn't walk. Because it had been so long since she had. She just kept saying "I'm gonna go soak, I can do it myself."
My heart still breaks remembering that call. I kick myself because that ONE time I put my phone on silent when I went to sleep something bad happened. I wish I could hold her, smell her, see her smile one last time. The pictures just aren't cutting it for me, holding your urn doesn't cut it for me. I wish Heaven wasn't so far away. I wish you were hear because then at least all of us kids could and would be together for the holidays. This year is so different. At least when you were in the hospital we got to bring Thanksgiving to you and have a big feast in your room. We won't get to make you a meatball anymore, or hear you say how glad you are that everyone is together.
I miss them so much too, they're all to busy. We were suppose to have family dinners on Sunday. That happened for like 3 weeks, then everyone got too busy. I wish I could hear you say everything will be ok. I called to talk to Kayla a little bit ago. I just wanted to hear from someone who could sympathize with me, because she lost you too. It's as if she didn't really care if I was crying or not. She was just worried about other things. I really wish I could call and just talk to you. I don't dare try and call Ashley, because she probably won't even pick up. Dilyan probably doesn't want to hear it either, but I text him. I just don't feel like a family anymore and that really breaks my heart. All I ever wanted was for us to be a family, not so broken. Why does this have to effect me so much. Why does it seem like I'm the only one this hurts?
Mom I miss you so much and I just want you back, I still need you, I wasn't ready for you to leave. I thought I prepared myself for when you went but I thought wrong. I love you always mom, I hope you're having an amazing time in Heaven and I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.

My heart is full of joy
Ok this one will be short and sweet!
And I will go to bed tonight with a happy heart in knowing I'm doing what I love. It still amazes me how God is always there and loves me unconditionally, mistakes and all. And he has blessed me beyond measures. I'm so thankful for being able to do my photography. I'm working on a session tonight and hearing and seeing the positive feed back makes it all worth it! I LOVE MY JOB!! Goodnight all!
Much Love & Many Blessing!!

The older I get
So it seems the older I get the more the years just seems to fly by! It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating Christmas last year. And it seems like this past weekend flew by in the blink of an eye!!
So we had a great weekend. Well let me rephrase that, speaking for myself I had an amazing weekend!! LOL
Friday we got to KC at 4pm. We were going to hang out with my cousin, but then decided to just hang out at the house together and rest up. So we watched Breaking Dawn part 1, ordered pizza and just hung out. Then we went to the store and got some cereal for the morning and milk. We got to sleep in the new bed grandma and grandpa got for our visits. I slept like a baby, it was much nicer than the air up mattress! =P
Saturday we woke up, got around and went to lunch. We were going to just go to eat together, then my aunt called and invited us to come to lunch with them. So we had a great lunch at our usual family spot Freddy T's! Then Nathan and I went and saw Breaking Dawn part 2! It was great, and really had me shocked for a while there! Those of you who've seen it will probably know why. Then we went back to the house and just relaxed for a hour or two. Then we went to this Mexican restaurant that was really awesome! Then we went bowling with everyone and I pretty much sucked at both games. I blame my full belly and tight pants! haha Then we went back to my aunts house and played Just Dance 3 with everyone and it was so much fun!! I really love that game!! We went home and both of us crashed!
Sunday morning I did NOT want to get out of bed, but I did. Woke up, showered. Nathan went and got us some Chiefs shirts from Walmart. Because yes we are procrastinators! LOL Then we headed over to my aunt and uncles house. Got some coffee and loaded up in the Explorer. Tailgating was super fun and the game even though they lost was a really great experience that I hope to be able to do again sometime. I took lots of pictures that are on my Facebook. And we got a couple of pictures at the game before it started and I got some face paint with Carolyn.
After the game, we went back to grandma and grandpa's to finish packing up our stuff. Then got on the road home. We stopped at some friends in Neveda because our Diamonds Merritt and Beth were there for a dinner and teaching. I'm so glad we made it in time. Even though we missed out on shooting. LOL I was reminded this weekend of why we need this business and why I want and will make this work. I'm so very thankful for Karrie and Jared for showing it to us!
Anyways I hope everyone had an amazing weekend, below I will attach the pictures we got taken of us. =]
Much Love,

One of those days
You ever have one of those days where you wake up and you're in a great mood, then through out the day your attitude and zeal for the day just dissipates???? Yeah that pretty much sums up my day. I was wide awake at 3:20am, which is most of the reason I believe. Anyways I saw my hubby off to work, messed around online for a few hours. Then took my father in law to the dentist, went and got some photography props, went and picked up our baby batman (a cat) from the vet. He's been there since this past Saturday with bladder trouble. Then came home ate some lunch, then Nathan got home. We both took a nap together which was really refreshing but even with the nap I still feel blah! I don't know what it is, and nothing has seemed to help my mood any, I'm not tired so I don't want to just toss and turn in bed because then Nathan won't sleep well. So I'm up writing this blog. I have a lot on my mind so I thought I'd share.
1. I love my husband to pieces, but today he has just not really made smart choices when it came to talking to me. He's a man, and I'm overly emotional on days like today. But he made a remark about how much money I was needing to spend for some more photography stuff and non-photography stuff. It really bummed me out because I know if I was working still we wouldn't have to stress about finances. I really can't wait until the first of the year so I can get a job, to help out too.
2. I'm tired of my current style mostly my hairstyle which I've pretty much had the same style since 2007. There was a couple years in between there where I did a short bob which let me tell ya...I do NOT pull off well at all! But I'm just wanting something new, and I can't figure out what to do, and I don't want to leave it up to the new stylist I'm going to start to go to tomorrow. So instead of deciding what to do by tomorrow, I'm just going to get a trim. Then once I figure out I'll go back and get it done. I'm going to my sweet friend Karrie's house tomorrow so she can help! I'm also wanting some new color, so I'll keep you posted on what the new look will be.
3. I'm really stressing and I know I shouldn't be. I'm stressing about how lousy I feel for not helping out with money, I'm stressing about batman. I really want him to get better and not have anymore problems. And most of all I'm stressing about this whole getting pregnant. I feel so much pressure to make it happen and happen fast. Because that's not only what I want, but it's what everyone wants now. Nathan, my siblings, my grandparents, his family. It's just stressful and upsetting. I know what I need to do, give it to God. Sometimes it's much easier said than done. Hmph!!
4. I'm frustrated because I feel like I'm pouring everything I have into my photography and it's still in stand by. I don't know if it's because it's the holiday season or what. But it's very frustrating!!
Ok I'm done ranting about my day. I pray and believe tomorrow will be 100% better. I also hope everyone has had a great Wednesday and hope everyone has a great rest of the week. =]
Stay Blessed

Wonderful Day
I had a great day and got to spend a lot of it with a great person. I went over to my friend Karrie's house and hung out and talked about some photo shoot ideas I'm doing with her kids. We had a great time and got a lot of ideas going. I'm so blessed to have her in my life and I was reminded of how awesome she is to just hang with. I also got to share some of my 1 year plan with her and she's just as excited about it as I am, and totally supportive.
It's funny how you know you're great friends because if you don't see each other for a while, you can just pick right up where you left off. I love her heart because she always gives great advice and puts her whole heart into our friendship. I love that my dreams can effect her, I was telling her about how we are planning on moving to Arkansas when the time is right and she got teary eyed. Not because she was sad we are wanting to move, but because she wants my dreams as much as I do.
Karrie I love you so much and I'm so very thankful God brought you into my life and I can't even imagine not having you in my life.
Hope everyone else has had a great Tuesday and I hope you were as blessed today as I was!!
Much love

Good Morning!
Well had a pretty good weekend. And so far, Monday has been great.
Lets see, Friday Nathan and I just hung out all day. We watched movies, renewed our car insurance, and paid our storage bill. Then had pizza and continued watching movies. LOL
Saturday, I made us breakfast. Then we were getting around to go do pictures for Christmas cards. When I noticed Batman just didn't look good. So Nathan rushed him to the vet, they had to do surgery on him. They're keeping him until Wednesday. Nathan got home, we went out and did pictures. I was really nervous as to how they'd turn out but I love the way they turned out! Then we went and got more movies, and went home. Then went to one of our friends daughters bake sales to support her and her trip to the National America Miss pageant! Then back home, ate dinner, and edited pictures.
Sunday, woke up mom and I made breakfast. French toast, bacon, and eggs! It was good. I was suppose to have a photo shoot with Deagan, but the weather was not going to allow it. Nathan and I just lounged around pretty much all day. He worked on laundry some and played games. I watched movies and just played around online. Then mom and I made cinnamon candy, it tastes ok but next time it needs more cinnamon. It's more sweet than spicy. But for our first time making it, it turned out pretty good. LOL Lets see, Nathan and I finished watching the 4 season of true blood, ate dinner, then he played more games and I watched the walking dead. Then we went to bed, where I had the weirdest dreams! LOL
Monday::
Today I am thankful for getting another day to be with the ones I love. I'm trying to live each day thinking about only the positives and not the negatives. Some days it's hard, but I push through anyways. I'm thankful for the sunshine, unlike yesterday. It's still pretty chilly outside, but that's ok. Before I go, I want to share the verse of the day from my daily devotional. It's Psalm 22:4-5 What the Lord says is right and true. He is faithful in everything he does. The Lord loves what is right and fair. The earth is full of his faithful love.<3 I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday and a Blessed week!

Here are some of the pictures from Nathan and I's shoot! =]

1 year plan....take 2!!
So I knew I'd end up added or changing my 1 year plan, actually didn't think it would be this soon though. LOL So here is the new plan in no particular order!! =]
1. Continue to seek a closer relationship with Jesus Christ!!
2. Boy or Girl, we're praying we will be pregnant by this Christmas!!
3. Continue living healthy and get lose that last bit of weight to get into my Apt 9 and seven jeans!!
4. Get a new camera Nikon D5100!!
5. 70-300 Flash from my amazon wish list!!
6. Work on our debt!! When you think about it, if we hit it really hard we'll be debt free in not much time at all!
7. Get an amazing job at the first of the year!! I'm not sure what the job will be. I've just been praying that God sends me the perfect one. I was going to get one now, but we have so much stuff going on this month and next month I really don't want to miss out because I'm working. So January be ready!
8. I want to be working towards a second child. Crazy it sounds I know. But if we really want 8 kids, we better get the ball rolling!!
9. I want to have plans set up to take vacation in Destin FL!
10. Move to Arkansas sometime next summer! This one was decided on when we were in Arkansas last weekend visiting Nathan's friend David who was in for a visit from California. We've been thinking and feeling for a while (like a year) that we need to move from this area, but haven't been sure as to what direction to go. First we though, we'll move really far away and go out to California with David and Laura. Then we thought no we'll go to Fl. Then we thought oh we'll just move and buy a house in Carthage. Well we've decided and are dedicated to making this happen. It seems a lot of people in this area have lost their fire for living a fulfilled life, now don't get me wrong there are still some people out there. But this area seems to be ran more by negative people. I want to be a world changer, and living in Neosho I don't think I will be able to accomplish what I want to accomplish. We're looking to move to the Fayettville, Bentonville, Rogers area, so it'll still be close to family!
11. I want my photography business to take off and have an even better year than this past year! I started this adventure around October 2009, but didn't go completely in until August of 2010. So we're a little over the 2 year mark. I'm confident that and standing in faith that this year will be a great one for Tina Carr Photography!!
12.When Nathan starts looking for a job down in Arkansas, I know he will find one he loves that isn't so hard on his body like La-z-boy is.
13. I want our Amway business to blossom this year!! If we want to have the lifestyle we want, the only way we're going to get it is to do this business, so we can't give it up!!
14. Finally I want my own house! I'm praying and believing when we start our journey of moving to Arkansas that we're going to find the perfect house to either buy or do a rent to own! It will be the perfect size, it'll be reasonably priced and in a cute neighborhood!
Well here's take 2! Lets see how long before the next revise!! LOL
Much Love

Weekend, Weekend, why have you gone by so fast
So I had one of the best weekends ever, I got to spend it with really awesome people, and was reminded how Blessed I am, of my love for family, friends, and most of all my wonderful husband!
Nathan grew up with a best friend named David! David moved down to Arkansas when Nathan was 14 or 15 I think. They stayed in touch and David was Nathan's bestman in our wedding. David is now living in California with his gf and her family. Nathan misses him a lot!! Anyways David and Laura came for a visit this past weekend and we were only suppose to hang out Friday, but we ended up staying the whole weekend down with David, Laura, and his family.
Friday, we went to Fast lanes played a couple games of bowling. Played some games in the arcade, then played in the newly designed (well new to us, I'm not exactly sure how new it is. LOL) lazer tag! Then we went back to Randy & Judy's for some grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and a lavish spread of sides! Then we just hung out and played board games starting with monopoly and ending with Nathan, David, and I playing Risk. Which may I add is a very fun game, as long as I'm winning which I didn't. haha I hate to lose!! =P
Saturday David, Laura, Ray, and Randy all went to the game, Judy stayed home to work on school work, Tiffany went to work, and Nathan and I went and walked around the mall. Where I got some adorable owl earrings and necklace originally $16 for just $4!! Yes, that's me bragging, because I love a good deal!! We got tired of walking around so we went back to the house. Played a game of Risk, I won this time. Then waited watched tv until the gang got back from the game. When they got back, we decided we'd stay another night. Played more risk, had a good dinner prepared by Judy and Laura. I never knew a sandwich bar could look so pretty! After dinner we watched Red Lights, which was ok. Then we went out and sat around the new fire pit. It was nice to just hang out.
Sunday we woke up, Judy, Tiffany, and I made breakfast and man was it good! Eggs, french toast, sausage, chocolate milk, orange juice, and coffee. After breakfast we just lounged around. Spent some more time in front of the fire pit. Then played a couple of games of bean bag toss, or whatever it's called. LOL Then we all got ready to head out. We went to this beautiful place called Crystal Bridges and I'm so glad they let Nathan and I tag along!! That place was so awesome, and so beautiful! I want to go back so I can walk the trails more. Then we went and ate at this really good Mexican restaurant called Abuelo's. Then we had to leave to head back so Nathan could get ready for bed because he had to work today.
When we were leaving I realized how much of a impact living so far away has on Nathan and David's friendship. He was crying, I felt so helpless. I really hate that David is so far away, I wish they'd move back so my love could have his best friend back. It's so easy for me to just go out and make a new friend, but Nathan already has his life long friend in David. Also David's family hugged us and told us to come back anytime even if David wasn't there, or if we needed any help with things which was unexpected for me, because this was the first time I'd spent so much time with them. They definately made me feel like family and loved.
With all that said, I had such an amazing weekend and God continues to show me how Blessed I am, and I'm so thankful for that!! Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend as well! Happy Monday and have a Blessed week!
