A breather...
Drove to Orlando today for a nice break from the crazy Miami life. . . Looking forward to spending the weekend playing around with my new fixed/prime lens. A few shots of my friend's dog. Hopefully will get to play tomorrow... Have a few things to finish up on my website since I have it up I should really finish it. :) So I look somewhat professional.

Personality type to the t
Realizing my personality type fits me almost completely... If not 100%. For those of you that know me, I would think you would agree. I'm currently struggling with where I am feeling called to go and do with my life. I want to do so much and want to feel like there is a place for me but I haven't quite found it and have been getting quite frustrated about it lately.
That's all for tonight... Not a long blog but thought I'd give you some insight to who I am... Just check out the INFJ personality type below.
INFJs (The Protector) are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types.
INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives. On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions. This is something of a conflict between the inner and outer worlds, and may result in the INFJ not being as organized as other Judging types tend to be. Or we may see some signs of disarray in an otherwise orderly tendency, such as a consistently messy desk.
But the INFJ is as genuinely warm as they are complex. INFJs hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who are able to see their special gifts and depth of caring. INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well. Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress.
Because the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own instincts above all else. This may result in an INFJ stubborness and tendency to ignore other people's opinions. They believe that they're right. On the other hand, INFJ is a perfectionist who doubts that they are living up to their full potential. INFJs are rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them. They believe in constant growth, and don't often take time to revel in their accomplishments. They have strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their personalities, INFJs are in some ways gentle and easy going. Conversely, they have very high expectations of themselves, and frequently of their families. They don't believe in compromising their ideals.

The Next Big Move
"The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination."
My life has only been a journey for the past three years and I've loved almost every minute of it. From moving every 6 months (not always staying in the same city or state for that matter) to new job experiences to new friends and reconnecting with old friends and unfortunately saying goodbye to a few very dear friends. Recently I have moved from Columbia, SC to Nashville to Columbia, SC and now in Miami, FL. I have lived in Miami since May of 2010 and I hate to say it but started feeling stir crazy in December. The feeling hasn't changed either.
I have finally decided I need to settle somewhere long enough to get a degree. Where better than the lovely state of Colorado. Now that I've picked the state I'm looking at University of CO, Boulder and Colorado State in Fort Collins. I'm leaning towards Colorado State and if I truly decide I like Colorado, I'll apply to University Colorado, Denver for my Masters.
So now the question I need to answer is when will this grand move take place?
