Crazy, beautiful life.
I’ve been in a bit of a funk the past couple of weeks but I think I’m coming around. I like organization and my life was anything but organized. I put my house on the market just to see what kind of response I would get and I sold it for asking price in two days. Well, one would think that’s wonderful but I, on the other hand, didn’t know where I was going to live so it caused some stress. On top of that, when I was getting my carpets redone to get the house ready to sell, a friend was watching my 2 cats and dog and lost my little 1-year old kitty. I was devastated and have been searching for him for 5 weeks now but no luck. I decided to get a new kitten last week and he’s not the lover that my other cat was but he’s definitely got an interesting personality. I also found another house to buy so things are falling into place like they should.
Now that’s my personal life. Work hasn’t stopped to let me deal with myself so I’ve had to throw myself into it and assume the personal stuff will work itself out, as it did. Coleman took a while this season to pick up speed but it’s on in full force. We have 6 or 7 shoots this month alone and they’re all intensive. A couple are up at the Poudre in Fort Collins, a few at Bainard Lake up past Boulder and some down in Denver. So there’s a lot of driving and moving parts involved, which keeps me on my toes. These are the most fun shoots, though, the water toys. Lot’s of playing in the water, being pulled behind boats, hanging out in sunglasses and bikini tops. Seriously, I’m being paid for this? I love my job.
Since the production management side has been so busy, I haven’t had a lot of time to audition for other jobs but there have been a few here and there. I am learning to do make up so I can do more styling on shoots as well. That’ll be fun and it’s something I’m interested in.
Other than that I’ve been spending my time running and golfing. I did the Georgetown Half Marathon last weekend. After a summer of eating out and not working out like I usually do, this was my “this is going to hurt and you deserve it so you get your ass back in gear” half marathon. I think it did just that. Yay.
That’s about it from me for now. Below are some pictures from our most recent Coleman shoots.
Kisses.
