Happy 2009!

2009 is already off to a great start and I am excited to see what all it brings. I have already shot one amazing wedding this year and I am looking forward to many more. So far we we have Jennifer, Patricia, Veronica, Chelsea, Haley, Emily, Megan, Brooke, Mary, and Ina. I have weddings here in DC, Maryland, Virginia, I get to go back to Houston a few times and we get to go to St. Maarten. This week I have 3 more weddings I am hoping to add to this list with fun locations as well. I booked my trip for Las Vegas next month for WPPI. that is a HUGE Photographers Convention and Trade Show. I am sharing a suite with 7 other AMAZING Photographer Ladies so I am very much looking forward to that. Later in the year I am excited for a week long Vacation with another group of fabulous photographer ladies. This year is already off to such a great start! so I was thinking last night that I have been tagged in a few get to know you notes on facebook but really I thought it would be good for me to just spill it here on my blog for all of you. So for all of you that wanted to know more about me. So here is goes. Random things about me.

Let me first say that I love God and my family and they are above all the most important things in my life. 

My favorite color changes often. right now it is gray but a few months ago it was purple, then green before that. 

I love LOST and THE OFFICE

I miss my Houston friends but i am so happy for all of the DC ones i have already!

I really think i have the coolest job ever. Really i do. 

My youngest Will starts Kindergarten this year so that is huge! Kate will be in 2nd grade! Wow!

I love lattes - skim with 3/4 of a Splenda. 

I love mojitos and champagne not together of course, separate glasses.

Ikea makes me happy.

I make great cremy cilantro dip and guac.

Mexican food is my all time favorite. I could eat it for every meal. 

I take my time on little purchases but big ones i make quickly. I usually know what I want, need OR can’t live with out. Sometimes I get those confused. 

Old school music I LOVE: Jimmy Buffet, The Black Crows, ACDC, Aerosmith to name a few. Also I have always thought Steven Tyler was cute. Weird I know. 

I used to be int he FFA and I won grand champion lamb one year…I have a belt buckle somewhere to prove it.

I am horrible speller. This year I am trying to type regular and use uppercase letters. There are a few words that haunt me that I can not even spell close enough for spell check to recognize. That is just sad! 

I was 19 when Josh and I got married. 22 when I had Kate and 24 when I had Will. 

Sometimes I can’t believe I am married with the best family ever. I love my life. I am blessed.

Josh and I met the day I graduated high school in Gulf Shores Alabama on a church Beach Retreat. 

One year before that I became a christian on the same trip.

I am an Army wife by title but I am nothing like a typical Army wife. 

Josh and I (I say I because we decided together) made a career change and decided to joined the Army after 911. He is a Black Hawk Pilot. I am extremely proud of him.

We have survived Josh serving two tours to Iraq. Hopefully never again. 

My sister Lisa and I are twins born two years apart.

I love warm weather and I do not like being cold. 

I like getting packages in the mail but I hate going to the post office. 

I love having a clean car but I hate doing it myself. Same goes for the house and laundry. 

If you would have told me four years ago that my business would be anywhere close to where it is today I would have not believed you. 

I really really like daytime outside weddings. I love the sun.

Shooting engagement sessions are so fun especially when I get to choose where to go and what to do. 

I think it would awesome to have every one of my clients over for dinner. Who wants to come over?

Even when I try to not talk about photography I end up taking about photography. I can’t help it. It is in my blood now. 

I have had the most amazing clients. I love that I am friends with each and every one. I love hearing about pregnancies, new home, new adventures and what ever is going on in their lives. 

This felt really good to type all of this out! 

Thanks for reading and following my blog. I appreciate everyone especially if you leave me a comment.
