fairy tale ending!!...

email from Kim....
"Miss Girl will soon be a Texan thanks to the rescue down there! It is an answer to prayer. They know all about her medical condition and never gave it a second thought. In fact, they have an application for a family right here in OKC - so maybe she won't be a Texas. The vet here and the rescue in Texas feels sure she was used over and over again for breeding and that when they were done with her they just let her go.

Bless you Christy and Jake for saving (literally) her life!!!!

Love you all.

Thank you.
Kim "

update on 'Girl'....

After a week of no word from our "dog found" signs...we decided to call Kim...our dear friend who works with a lot of rescues...she came over to meet her, check her out, and take her picture...Kim confirmed that she is older (7ish years old), either deaf or just very hard of hearing, and just the sweetest dog ever!! While Kim was checking her over, all three of us at the same time noticed this mass on her belly...Kim felt around on it, it was hard and bumpy...Kim said that it didn't look good:(...Kim got her connected with a rescue shelter who is going to pay for her vet bills and has room for her. Jake and Heather took her to the Vet yesterday. She spent the night, but we did hear from Kim...she does have some tumors (not sure if they are cancer) so the rescue is deciding if they can afford to remove them (money and the recover time)...we are now just waiting to hear whats next.... :(

from the wedding this weekend...I love these photos as a series of two...walking down the aisle with daddy, leaving with hubby...i just love it!! was i right about the totally awesome sun glare??!!!

I promise I'm still alive...

wow!! I can not tell you the last time we have been this busy!! I am even skipping church tonight, just to try to catch up with everything! We got home from our trip/wedding to Dallas at 2:30AM on Monday morning (yes we both had to be at work by 8am) and i have felt behind since...Our trip was way fun, jake and i went to our favorite place...northpark mall in Dallas...we spent way too much money(all cash of course ;) and had a blast!! We had our first IKEA experience...that place makes me want to live in a tiny tiny new york city apartment! It took us 2 hours to walk though it!! The wedding was Beautiful!!! It was so awesome to see old friends and do what i love...I did the photos and Jake married them...I have just downloaded all 1700 photos from the weekend...yes i said 1700!! It was a sunset wedding on a lake which made for great sun glare photos!!! I will post some as soon as i get to it ;). but the latest news...Monday night after work, we had a friend in our yard...a female bulldog was wondering around yard, with only a flee coller, all we knew to do was put her out of harms way (aka the street) into our back yard and feed her (she is very skinny). We have put signs up all over the neighborhood, with no luck. Because it so rainy and cold we have set her up in our garage, and she is just making herself at home....we think she is old, she is very hard of hearing, and seeing, and just sleeps all the time,she is very very sweet, she is eating good, and seems to either be potty trained or just is good a "holding it"... we have named her "girl", we didn't want to give her a permanent name because she's not ours, but we had to call her something...anyway we need some prayer warriors out there to help find her home or a home for Girl...I will post some photos of her soon too...

cute boy...

We are leaving town tomorrow early morning for a trip to Dallas....which will be a little bit of pleasure and a little bit of business...One of my best childhood friends, Stephanie Munson, is getting married On Sunday the 19th. Jake is performing the ceremony and I am doing the photos....we have got quite the team going here ;) But at the last minute we have decided to go a day earlier and do some shopping!! It is going to be a beautiful wedding and it will be really hard for me to do the photos through teary eyes ;) But i cant wait...and will defenetly post a few when we get back! ~adios~

IM BACK....

I think this is the longest i have gone with out posting!! Well a few months ago, i expressed my love to the show "so you think you can dance" and posted a video of my favorite of the season "no air" (check it out, i think it was in august), welllll....Jake, Heather and I went to the LIVE tour last night in Tulsa!!!! It was Jake and I's selfish birthday present to heather!! It was AMAZING!!! I was so star struck!! It was 3 hours of solos, the favorite group dances and the favorite duets of the season....



this was my attempt to get some shots during the last group dance....if you follow the show, you can pick out most of them if you look hard enough...joshua, twich, katee, comfert, will, keringhton, chelsea, mark, gev, and courtney...


Since I already showed my favorite dance ("no air" in august), i thought for the sake of the post, i will show my second favorite dance..."bleeding love"...which i got to see LIVE!!!...this is so good!!!!

only 3 more days...

October 10th is the dedline to regester to vote for Oklahoma...so...DONT VOTE....unless you care...

*we do not endorse any of the 'bad words' said on this video :) ohh yeah and pause my music to watch the video.

Christy's Cloths...more then you wanted to know...

So a few posts ago i announced to the blogging world that my dream is to have a booth at the farmers market(or maybe an Internet site) called "Christy's Cloths". We are cloth users here in the Seaton household, cloth towels, cloth napkins, cloth shopping bags and we are really looking forward to someday using cloth diapers,and cloth wipes etc... Anyway, another conservationist blogger friend posted recently on her families use of cloth toilet paper!! read about it here... Of course even my first reaction was "GROSS!!" but after thinking about it awhile...what is the difference between that and cloth diapers and cloth wipes?? I mean really.... I'm not sure if I'm there quite yet, maybe i will start by being very conscience on how much TP is use...but who knows once we have a little one around here and i have my wet bag of cloth diapers and cloth wipes our family cloth TP might be thrown in the laundry too!!! I warned you it would be more then you wanted to know!!! ;)

i heart senior photoshoots!!

I get so pumped when someone gives me the opportunity to do what I love!! Every time I come home from a shoot, I say that it was the best one yet!! so they just keep getting better and better and I always learn something new! Click here to see the whole slide show!!
