The moment has arrived...

A few weeks ago I blogged about something exciting we were doing in our family. I told you so that you would understand that I was very busy and wouldn't be blogging much for a while. I didn't want to tell you exactly what it was in case something went wrong during the process, or plans changed or something. WRONG THING TO DO! I was called names, chewed out, and even threatened with the "Blog Police" for posting that there was news and then not posting any actual news:) And then then the phone calls and emails started coming in. You people and your guesses... and your theories... and your outright gossip! And what, are you four? It seemed like no one could just sit back and wait for the story to unfold! No, really, I am flattered that so many people care about the craziness of our little life to think about it hard enough to come up with some of the guesses you had. So finally after literally months of hard work, and weeks of your guesses and bribes I am ready to reveal the news. I thought a fun thing to do give you some pictures of clues along the way and see if you can guess it before the end. Fun right? I Know, I can hardly wait! I tried to make the pictures unique, and possibly you won't even know what they are. Let me know if you can't figure one out. If you guess it before the end write me a comment and tell me what picture clued you in. If you skipped the clues and went right for the big reveal at the bottom write me a comment about that too, I won't judge:) (Oh, and I am also going to be answering some of the guesses you had along the way, but the picture and the guess don't have anything to do with each other, so don't let that confuse you. Too late? Confused already? Sorry:) So here goes:

No, I am not pregnant!

(That was the number one most asked question, and it seems that there was even quite a story rolling around among my friends about that one:)

No we are not adopting again (right now anyway) nor are we sending back the kids we already have:)

No, we are not doing foster care, taking in an ill grandpa, a troubled youth, or a stray animal. Basically, no one new will be added to the family.

No we are not moving anywhere (especially back home, LEVI, it doesn't matter how many times you ask that, it isn't going to happen! *But you know, Brigham City is a nice place to live, they are hiring city cops right now, and we got far less snow than you did this year, hint hint*)

No, we aren't renting out our basement, nor are we putting our things in storage, closing up our house, and touring the United States in an all family country and western band. (See, after a while the guessing got a little out of hand.)

No, we are not getting a divorce. No one could ever be more perfect for me than Troy. He understands what I'm talking about even when I don't make sense, he lets me argue with him even when I agree with him just because I enjoy a good debate, and he lets me warm my feet up against his warm legs when we are in bed at night. Nope, I'm hangin' on to this guy for EVER! (Really, I have a certificate signed by both of us stating that I get to keep him for all ETERNITY- that's proof baby!)

Finally, no Troy did not get angry and decide to tear out a wall causing our house to fall down or any other major structural disaster.

So there you have it, good try, but no one guessed quite right. So do you know what it is now? Were my pictures helpful. (I tried to make them as unhelpful as possible:) Are you ready for me to make the announcement. Well, how about one more picture to help you guess...

That's right, Adie B. Photography is open for business! I am so excited! I have loved photography since high school when I developed my first roll of film in the dark room, and my love for it has only grown. I love capturing a feeling, a memory, a moment in time. I love the joy that it brings to others to see a beautiful work of art, and the joy it brings to me to be able to create one. I have been working on this for a long time now, and I am finally ready to take the plunge. We have built a studio in our house, complete with lights, backdrops, props, everything. I really appreciate Troy for having the faith in me to invest so much time, hard work, and $$$ to make my dream a reality. So what does this mean for you? Well, possibly nothing. But possibly something. First of all, if you have been getting your pictures done for free for the last few years, it means that time of our lives has come to an end. (Hey, I have to pay for all of my new equipment, right:) But the good new is that I am still building my portfolio and therefore will be offering AMAZING deals. I really need models for maternity, infants and bridals, but I would welcome more experience in everything. If you live in Utah or Southern Idaho and need some photos done let me know. I would be honored to work with you. My website is still having some issues, so for right now if you are interested in prices, packages, or seeing my work, email me at eberling2@msn.com.
