2010 has great things planned!

Oh my goodness, I don’t know where to start!! I have been so stinkin busy, like always. I left off at Christmas so I will begin in 2010! Can you believe it is 2010? I can’t, that is just very weird for me.

Well, for New Years Eve, Eli and I just hung around the house. I was so sick and didn’t want to get off of the couch and Eli is just a “homebody”! So, hanging out at the house was PERFECT for us this year! I had just taken some Nightquil and was asleep by 10:30! Woo Hoo…I am a big time partier, I know! What a great way to start off the new year….peace & quite! Well, that didn’t last long.

Work has been BUSY! I haven’t had a chance to breathe. But I like it that way. I really do work better under pressure. I love to be pushed! I was asked sometime last year if I would be interested in running the church’s webpage. I didn’t think about it to long…I love the challenge of something new. Even know I know it will be hard at times! I have just started playing with a “fake” website to learning everything. Can I just tell you, that is so much fun! I didn’t think I liked to learn, but this is great! I am not a pro yet, but I will be one day. I hear you can make the BIG BUCKS doing that.

January is full of birthdays too. We have my grandma (Rocky), my cousin (Sean), my cousin’s babys (Kyleigh) and my best friend, Debbie’s! All of their birthdays are in January. I have one wedding and a baby shower (for a friend) that are on the same day (tomorrow)!! We are having the family birthday party at the end of January (which I a making a cake for). I love my family, they are great.

On top off all of that……Eli & I have decided to open our photography business! I cannot believe I just said that….our own business!! That sounds great. It is a lot of work too. I have been thinking of names forever. I have a couple picked out, but I don’t want to say them until it is my name and no one else can steal it! By this I mean, I have to go to the Dallas County office and pay for my business name and get a Tax ID. There is so much “behind the scenes” work to do. But I am TOTALLY ready for it! I have been going home at night and working on my “business” stuff. Pricing, lab development, getting a good camera, putting scene together, getting a portfolio together, you name it! I already have my first gig too. Well, it’s not a paid gig, but I am going to taking pictures at an event at the church for a Youth Choir fundraiser in February. I am so excited about this new chapter in our lives. God is with us in everything we do….which means…this is a good thing.

February doesn’t slow down any….EVERY WEEKEND in February is busy and booked! I will write more on February in February! Thanks for reading!

The First Day Of The Rest Of My Life!!!
