Just some general venting!!! :)

My name is Mindy George and I am 26 years old. I am married to Mr. Lyon George and he is 28. We have been together for nearly 8 years and have been married for four. I feel as though, the two of us were put on this earth to be together....yeah, it may sound like the cheesiest thing ever, but we make one hell of a couple! We have fun together....yes, we fight - we're human.....we have our disagreements, but I wouldn't trade that man for anyone else in this entire world! We have two beautiful boys....Jory is my step-son and Gunnar is my son. They're our life.....we have a great relationship with Jory's mom and step-dad. (Many people have commented on how "weird" it is that the four of us get along so well, but it just works better when you're friends instead of enemies working against the grain.) Lyon and I lead a very happy and fortunate life and consider ourselves lucky to have the friends and family that care so much about us. We don't have an elaborate home, expensive cars....we live paycheck to paycheck and are happy with living just this way.

I am a self-proclaimed (self-pro·claimed (s--lf'pr---kl--md', -pr?-)
..BOF_HEAD-->adj. ..EOF_HEAD--> ..BOF_DEF-->So called by oneself; self-styled) professional photographer and have enjoyed working with any and all individuals who have chosen me to capture their photos. Images by Miss Mindy, LLC was started by my husband and I about a year and a half ago and this business has grown so much since we began. Some people may not agree with the title of "professional photographer", as I did not attend a photography school, nor do I hold any type of college degree, but as stated at the beginning of this paragraph, I have given the title of "professional photographer" to myself.

I do, in fact, have quite a few tattoos. This is something that I have taken a liking to in my adult life. I have, been labeled a "tattoo-freak", I have been called "stupid", and the one that gets me the most....my professionalism and abilities as a mother has been questioned because of my tattoos. This is hilarious to me, because if you know me at all, you know that I conduct myself in a very professional manner when it comes to my business and that I am a fantastic mother. My parents did not disown me.....as said by my mother, "You're an adult and what you want to do with your body is completely up to you, Mindy. People have plastic surgery done, they get liposuction, they alter their bodies in so many different ways.....who cares.....I love you no matter what." And quite frankly, my parents have really grown interested in other peoples tattoos and aren't "afraid" or "intimidated" by them....they approach that person and ask to check out what they have. It's pretty cool of them if you ask me. A thought to ponder...you go to your doctor for 14 years...he's your doctor, your parents' doctor, your child's doctor.....one day, you see him/her out and about, outside of his/her office....and he/she is covered in hours upon hours of tatto art. Will you look at this person in a totally different light for that simple reason? :) hmmmmm?? :):):)

I am a faithful wife to my husband, a wonderful and caring mother to my boys, a responsible babysitter for my 2 nephews (who I provide daycare for every day of the week), and a business owner. I am proud of my acheivements in life thus far.

Please understand...this is not geared to any named person....just those of you who choose to be narrow-minded and rediculous. It's easier to live life with an open-mind.....it makes your mind grow!! :) heehee!

That being said, have a great, wonderful and exciting day! Live everyday to the fullest and regret nothing!!!!!!!!!!

We love ya girl, and don't let people get you down! People love to see a failure, and people tend to be jealous of others that aren't scared to do and to go get what they want. People that don't have what they want like to complain about people who do have what they want. Props to you for being brave. Besides, who wants to be like the majority? What a boring life!?
