GOOD MORNING

Good morning. Today should be just your basic, ordinary Tuesday. As far as I know.

Some of you have been commenting that you always expect the unexpected. Well, I’m here to tell you that the unexpected really hits productivity and efficiency hard! Sometimes.

I had a great day yesterday. It was super awesome.

I really felt like I sort of guided Jasmine through the pre-production work and helped her tackle it confidently. And I felt like I was able to keep Kaylee comfortable throughout the shoot.

Today? By the end of it, I need to feel like I’ve gotten some of my writing work done!

For that to happen, I need to get going. I’ll be back later to check in, of course. In the meantime, I hope you have a great Tuesday morning. See you soon!

I’M A WRITER BUT…

I feel like I’m having an identity crisis. Or something.

Without a doubt, writing is fundamental to how I see myself. I take great joy in the whole process, and I am extremely satisfied when I can step back and look at the finished work.

Yet, lately, I’ve drawn more and more from my past experiences as a model. And that, too, has been a source of joy and pride. I’ve expanded from being the face before the lens to being the eye behind the camera and taking on other roles in the creative process.

So as I sit here, I’m thinking my future will include me wearing multiple hats, changing from day to day as demands and opportunities arise. And sitting here just now, I think I like that idea.

Today, I’m wearing the hat of the conservation writer. I’m piecing together notes and pictures from the last few months into an essay on recycling. I don’t have a buyer lined up for this one. Not at this time, but that’s okay.

I believe in this message, and I’m enjoying the research and writing process.

I’ll work on this today, and then tonight I’ll come back with a goodnight post. As always, I appreciate your support and comments—thank you!

See you later.

WHAT THEN? by Kaylee Branch

Me and Isaac only had one cleaning job today, and we got started on it right after Hudson got up from his morning nap. We had lunch at the camper and then went to the job.

All day, Isaac seemed like he was in a mood. He was great with Hudson, and he wasn’t bad to me, but it was like he wasn’t really present.

By the time we were done with the cleaning, Hudson had fallen asleep, so I put down the rag bucket and grabbed Isaac’s hand. “Kiss me so I know you’re really here.”

He smiled and kissed me, then I pulled him down to sit on the rug. “Where you been today?”

“I’ve been thinking about something Micah said.”

“Tell me the truth. Your feelings aren’t hurt because I’ve been making so much money modeling, are they?”

He looked at me like I was crazy. “No way! I’d be a model, too, if anyone would hire me!”

“Then what’s up with your mood?”

“What are we going to do when Hudson’s in middle school?”

I kinda got stuck on that, but Isaac went on. “We gotta start thinking about things past the next rent payment. I love our life, but we gotta think about what comes after the camper.”

“Micah put you onto this?”

“Yeah, he asked what we’ll do when Hudson outgrows the crib. We can’t have a ten-year-old sleeping in a bunk three inches from our bedroom. And he’d never be able to have friends over. All that.”

We talked it ’round and ’round, then I said, “So all your thinking… What did you come up with?”

“Let me make a couple of phone calls. I’ll tell you then.”

I smiled. “You can keep your plan a secret, but you have to start remembering that I’m in the room with you!”

“Meaning what?”

“Flirt with me like normal!”

He smiled and kissed me again. “You’re the best thing that ever happened to me. I’ll make some calls and tell you my plan if I get the answers I hope to get.”

GOOD NIGHT

Hey friends! It’s been a really good day. Those first two sentences are part of my post template, but today they fit perfectly, so I left them.

I hope everyone reading this also had a great day. If anything interesting came up, feel free to share a comment!

A little while before dinner, I set aside my work and just relaxed. The details of the wedding were crowding into my thoughts, so I decided to just yield to them and give them some breathing room.

The days are passing quickly! Soon… I still find it hard to put the feelings and thoughts into words. Soon, I will be married, and I think that will change everything and, at the same time, nothing.

Fundamentally, life after the wedding will look a lot like now. Writing… Beaches… Modeling… Photography…

But I believe there will be a qualitative change to everything. I’m still letting that concept take shape.

Now, I’m going to call it a day. It feels like this week is moving fast, but tomorrow is only the middle, so I’ll get up and do it all again.

May you find a full understanding of who you have been, who you are, and who you are becoming, and may the path forward be gentle and clear.

I think I have one more thought to share, but I’ll reserve it for supporters and subscribers.

Be your best you!

LAST THOUGHTS (Supporter Exclusive)

I wanted to share one more idea with those of you who are helping keep the Journal going. I am so honored that you are part of the process!

I feel like the last few weeks have been very busy in the Journal. A lot has happened, and it has been great.

Now, as the countdown to the wedding continues, I’m hoping for a little smooth sailing. I’m sure interesting things will pop up, but focusing on the details of the wedding needs to be a priority.

At the same time, life existed before the wedding and will go on afterward. So I want to make sure I don’t turn the dial down too much!

The last I heard from Naomi after we sent her Monday’s pictures was that we should expect some calls for Kaylee and Jasmine soon. So I’m expecting them… and I agreed to go along with Kaylee and Jasmine to help out.

Finally, I want to remind everyone that I’m not going to share much at all from the honeymoon. There might be some brief check-ins on Patreon, but there won’t be any pictures.

The Journal will go on, though. There is a lot happening around South Padre Island and Port Isabel. There should be plenty to share, so don’t worry about that.

That’s it for today. And as always…

Thank you for helping support AGI Stories.

I always consider you—the paid members—when deciding how content is shared.

I believe that most of you who help with the costs do so because you want to support the production process and show encouragement. I’m honored and truly grateful.

At the time of this post (not counting hardware or internet costs), expenses run just over $100 per month—so every supporter truly makes a difference.

Nevertheless, I share a lot of content free to all. I believe you understand why. Stories about giving back and helping shouldn’t be exclusive, and key moments need to be accessible for anyone following the stories.

My hope is that sharing a few exclusive photos and small portions of some posts with you serves as a simple expression of gratitude.

With that in mind, again, thank you very much.
