Novel's Story
Life,
I live in North Carolina opening my own business soon in photography. I have 3 children grown and 10 wonderful grandchildren.
I have done of bit of everything since school. I graduated college with a degree. I have been a food service manager for a large retirement community. I have been an administrative assistant for many years at a retirement community. I was kitchen manager of a little restaurant for a short while until I decided I like taking pictures more than anything I have done.
I have worked for Olan Mills and PCA (use to be in Walmart studios). I have done some freelance photography, weddings, family, different things.
Now, I am looking to open my own photography business doing in home photography. I feel it would be the best place for a child to feel comfortable and relaxed enough. Plus, at home the WHOLE family can be in the pictures like pets.
My grandkids are my joys. They are wonderful. If I had known how great they were, I would have skipped the kids and gone right to grandkids. Each one has something unique about them that is so delightful. I truly love spending time with my grandbabies.

I never wanted to move to the north away from my friends I grew up with. (Classmates reconnected me with many of them) As a Christian from the south I was made fun of quite a bit and had trouble handling it, but through much prayer, God saw me through and I did graduate even if I did get married half way through my senior year. I almost didn't because I had taken Ohio history in Newbury and needed Alabama history to graduate from a school in Alabama since that is where I moved to when I got married. Almost too funny.
I don't think too deeply about things because the only thing that matters is my relationship with God, my family, and my friends. What will happen, will. You will survive or you won't. The next day comes. You are happy or you or not. That is a choice. Life is short if you die at 10 or 100. Live it as though everyday is your last day. Love like there is no tomorrow. Never leave sight of a loved one without telling them you love them. I have lived and loved and been loved. What more could a person ask?
