Life is good...

Things never seem to slow down. I feel like this summer came and went and I am still stuck in spring...waiting for the hot weather to really show up! Now, I can feel the chill in the air at night, and early in the morning. I can feel fall and it's coming up on me quicker than I wanted it to, though it's my favorite season of the year.  I just wish fall would go till spring.  Bypass winter all together!

Life is good though.  Team Tucker is just pluggin away!  School starts in a week and a half- I spent the whole summer working 4 days a week instead of 3 and even though it was only one day extra, I feel like I spent way more time there than at home.  I don't like 4 days a week, 3 is much easier to manage.  Photography is keeping me busy too, I just have to be careful not to let it interfere.  It's hard cause I want to be easy, and helpful to the people who call me, but getting too busy was never in the cards for me.  I really enjoy it, and just don't want to start not enjoying it!  I get to go to a workshop this week - something I've been wanting to do forever.  It's kind of a one day mentoring, the photographer teaching it is incredibly talented and down to earth- almost as funny as me too!  ;)

Speaking of photography, I submitted some of my photos to the radio station, they were putting together a tribute video for the Marine funeral.  I watched it the other day, and all of the photos I submitted are in the video!  I'd like to believe it's because of my incomparable talent, but I don't think they got too many submissions...ah well, it's still really cool to see my work being shown and watched by so many!

I gave the lesson in RS today, on Family Responsibilities.  It was an easy lesson, and I enjoyed being up there again.  Unofficially- I'm the new second Sunday teacher.... unofficially cause they haven't released the old one yet!  I probably shouldn't say anything yet, but I don't know too many people in my ward who even tune in to Team Tucker!  I was compassioned out.  I think they figured they better move me so I'd come back to church!  I found a quote though that I loved, my sister in law has always kept it on her blog, and I love it:
You may have to click on the picture to be able to read it!

Keeps me thinking of my priorities.  It was me up on the stand today, telling myself what I should be doing and shouldn't be taking for granted.  I gave myself a lot to think about!  Maybe that's a good thing.

Glad you found the writer of that quote. I wrote it down off a wall in a childrens clothing store in Scottsdale, Az. It's a good one. It is so very very true.

And AMEN to summer ending too soon. Sigh...

Summer went much too quickly for me too, but I am ready for more of a schedule!

I admire anyone who teaches RS, I would be petrified if I ever had to do that! And I LOVE that quote!

And time marches on. Why is it that it is the only thing that seems to go faster as we get older? ~CrAzY~
