Pictures are uploading and songs are downloading...thats pretty much my story for the last two weeks. Nathan is on a conference call while I work on 721. Its been a HUGE blessing but 721 has been super busy. With Christmas card season right around the corner I have had a blast designing new cards but man it takes alot of time!
Nathan was gone to PU all week last week studying...Hoss and I held the fort down. I was able to get alot finished but its getting crunch time so I am putting in some extra time. I am super excited for the holiday season to come around. I am usually not a huge Thanksgiving fan but for some reason this year I can not wait for it! We are planning on doing a little traveling and spending alot of time with family and friends..yipppeee!
I don't have much time left before my upload/download is complete but I wanted to share something with you...
We received this email today from Greg (the preacher at our 'old' church, who by the way I miss sooo very much every Sunday morning). It said:
God is always at work. And not just when things are going great. In our hurts and dilemmas and guilt. His deep love...Jesus on the cross. His unlimited power...the empty tomb.
Pretty powerful statement and so very true- yet sometimes so hard to remember. Thanks Greg!

so much
I have so much on my mind tonight, yet, I have nothing really to say. Interesting huh?
Patience. Peace. Love. Frustration. Hope. Forgiveness. Hurt. Emptiness. Laughter. Joy. Sadness. God. Friendship. Thankfulness. Happiness. Confusion. Excitement. Family. Sunshine. Holidays. Questions.
These are just a few of my thoughts lately in no particular order. back to working on photography. night all.

Happy Halloween!
Oct. 31st already....nooooo! I LOVE October and am sure sad to see it go. It was full of LOTS of ups and downs but overall it was a great month with wonderful fall weather. I am not really ready for winter yet- I am hoping for at least a few more weeks for perfectly chilly weather.
This weekend was a relaxing weekend at home. I got a few Christmas cards finished while Nathan worked on his school stuff. I hate spending so much time on the computer but I guess thats part of it. Saturday we enjoyed a little extra sleeping in-that was until my wonderful Mother texted to say Happy Friday...poor thing was confused AGAIN! hahaha- we love you mom!
After a run with the dog, it was time to make our Halloween costumes for the party we went to last night. My good friend Kelly and her Dad hosted a big Halloween party that we were looking forward to going to.
We tried to think of something fun and creative to be... so without further ado lets see if you can guess what we were...here is a picture story for you! Good Luck!
The party was really fun! We went through a haunted house, on a carriage ride, saw the Headless Horseman, had a great dinner, did a little dancing and enjoyed a bon fire! To top it off they had 'dead people' walking around the grounds- talk about scary!!
Although today is Halloween we haven't done too much, more homework and pictures! We are going to finish the night off with the baseball and relaxing on the couch.
Happy Halloween Everyone!! Hope you have a BOOOOOOutiful night!

we started with this....
and did a little of this...
to get something that looked like this!
how about this?
If you guessed Painters you are correct!!
It was the most fun costume that I have ever made. We had a blast and looked pretty cute if I do say so myself!
This was our entire look!
We went with our good friends Heather & Stephen!
They were a Sheriff & Saloon girl. Heather is 6 months pregnant and looks great to be in a dress like that!
Heather & Stephen!

photography workshop
The last two days I have spent at a photography workshop in MI and LOVED IT!!! It was wonderful, mind-boggling, stressful, happy, packed full of information, fun, full of photography stuff but I am ready to go back! I left feeling so energized yet so exhausted at the same time, if that is even possible. The 6 hr. drive home was long but I had so many millions of thought running through my head it didn't seem to terrible. I learned so much and now have a new to-do list, but this is one that I can't wait to get started on it!
My wonderful husband stayed at home and worked on work and school. There has been LOTS going on here at the Taulman house so he has been busy trying to work deals, study and help run a pharmacy!
Today was the first day after school that I got to come home and man it felt good. I was home before 4 and now I am not sure what I am supposed to do! haha. Ok, well maybe the HUGE list that is infront of me would be a good place to start, soo I am off to work on 721! Its a great day to be alive!

sunshine
I am so thankful for the sunshine today! It is a BEAUTIFUL fall day here in southern IN. I am watching the tractors go by after they have just plowed a field, listening to the wind wrestle the leaves, seeing the birds fly down into freshly plowed fields and enjoying every second of it. As Nathan always says, 'its a great day to be alive!'
A few pictures of some adorable children that I love so much. I pray that someday God will give Nathan and I children that can join in all of the punkin painting fun.Until then I will just enjoy every second of them I can!!

blogging???
I kind-of forget what blogging is! It has been so long and there has been so much going on. This week is fall break so other than volleyball, photo sessions, laundry and relaxing I might have a little time to do some blogging too!
This weekend we went to Purdue's homecoming game. Nathan & I, my dear friend Bridgette, Gavin & Mom all enjoyed the day being back on campus. It was a beautiful, perfect day UNTIL we heard the bummer news about Robbie Hummel. Lets just say lots of tears have been shed about that news. I am not sure how Nathan is going to handle this basketball season- I am sure there will need to be alot of counseling! haha
After tailgating we had a delicious dinner at Mountian Jacks(its a family tradition after homecoming) and then headed to Harry's. Wow want to talk about feeling old. It was still fun to be out and enjoy the evening but man o man- I guess I am getting older. We ending the evening with a game of bowling at the Union(super fun!).
On Sunday we were up bright and early to head to Chicago for a photo shoot. I had never done one in the city but it was pretty cool if I do say so myself. Mom couldn't be there to help, so thankfully Bridgette offered her amazing 'assistant' services so the day was a success. We then jumped in the car, drove back to Remington to photograph my FAVORITE two little ones...Morgan and Marek!! It was awesome and so much fun. They did a wonderful job and looked cute as can be. Hop over to Facebook and check them out if you haven't already!
The evening finished with a great Taulman family dinner at Red Lobster. Mandy and I had great conversations about teaching, kids, and the 'real' world. It was nice to have a chance to catch-up. The kids did a great job eating and playing with Nathan. He will make a really great day someday!
Today was the first day of break and as Nathan promised we got to sleep in!! It was pretty stinkin awesome. We did a few things around the house today, I edited a few pictures and had another photo shoot and we even had time to take a run and play a little game of catch in the back yard.
Tomorrow we have volleyball in the morning and then its back to editing and getting things finished up around the house. I am looking forward to checking a few more things off the list. I will have more to blog about tomorrow AND pictures from our big weekend last week(promise Mandy!)
