Mermaid photo shoot!

Hey everyone,
It's been pretty crazy here in the Smit house, Christmas, parties with friends, and mermaiding have taken up quite a chunk of our time. :-D We had a lovely and fabulous Christmas and were able to skype or chat with those we loved, I almost teared up a few times on the phone when talking people but I pulled it together. This week I have day camp, and Jer leaves for Arizona to see his brother graduate from Air Force Pilot training, they'll have a lot of fun chatting it up and comparing AF stories I'm sure. While he's gone, I'll mermaid around, work, and I'm hosting a girl's night on Friday, I'm pretty excited.

We tried adopting again, but it didn't work, again (dog, not child). Sadness. but such is life.

It's still 78 degrees here, we actually went for a run on Christmas in tank tops in shorts, I thought it was craziness, but hey, when in Rome, do as the Romans do! Here are some pics from my photo shoot yesterday, more to come in a few days! Also if you haven't checked out my site yet you should!  http://mermaidharmon2.wix.com/mermaidharmony

Well, that's all for now, just bought us Muppet Treasure Island, we figured if we are eventually going to have kids, we need a better library of movies, not going to raise our kids on some of the stuff on TV, they need the good stuff. Starting with this movie. :-)

 Love,
Am

Christmas Seasn

Hey ya'll!
Things are going just lovely down here in the beautiful state of Hawaii.  I've heard many people say that it's hard to get into the Christmas spirit here, I'm actually feeling the opposite. I've been driving kettles for the Salvation Army, and every day I see people smiling, and saying "Merry Christmas".  The bell ringers are full of joy, and for 30 minutes at the end of each shift I ring the bell at Wal-Mart, and I have a blast just smiling, ringing, and wishing people to have a lovely Christmas and day. So, even though it's 75 degrees out, and the only hints of Christmas is our cute tree adorned with ornaments, the radio gushing "Let it Snow" and the blow up santa in my neighbors green yard, it still feels like the holidays to me.  Even though it's different, it doesn't mean it's wrong for me right now.

Had a mermaid photoshoot the other day which was a ton of fun, only have some of the above water photos right now, hopefully soon I'll have the underwater ones. I've been busy getting parties set up for the new year, and getting online sites set up! My first birthday party went really well, you can check out some photos from it at my Mermaid Harmony Website we had a blast, and I have 6 parties that I know of in the next 4 months! My friend Billy works at the aquarium and is also going to teach me how to make a tail, so that'll be a fun winter project to do.  I've got ideas! It'll be fun and something I can put on my resume, which looks rediculous I know, between Arts and Crafts, mermaiding, poi, line dancing, singing, sign dancing, kettle bell driving, and programming. It's just kind of funny to read, entertaining, slightly funny.

Not much planned for Christmas, we might go camping or explore a new part of the island the week before, we have a couple of Christmas parties to go to this week. Life is good.

Love,
Aj

I SWAM IN MY TAIL!

I also have my first gig tomorrow at the Library doing storytelling, should be a blast! I'm really excited, I have some fun pirate stories and songs about Octopi, because those are obviously the coolest songs. ::grins::
I also got the stuff for creamed corn casserole, I'm excited to try something new, Jeremy says he doesn't like Creamed Corn Casserole, I'm hopefully going to change his mind. But if not, it's okay, because I'm also making apple dumplings, and I know he could eat a hundred of those, so I think we're good. :-D

Me and my tail in the water! It was so cool, and the silicone reflected the water amazingly.

It was so much fun to swim in! 

Love you all,

Aj
