lost in the abyss called life

don't ask where i have been hiding for so long.....quite frankly i'm not really sure. i always think this time of year is the slowest part, however i have been proven wrong by 2009. the truth is, busyness abounds. perhaps most of that is due to having baby b + working full time + a husband + a house + the every now and then attempt of having a social life. blogging has taken the very back seat on my list of things to do. i apologize.

the past week has really thrown me to the dogs. you would think that by now i would have learned my lesson to keep my mouth shut and not gloat in unfavorable mishaps not occurring in my life......well, God might as well struck me with a lightening bolt yet again. last friday, brayden came down with his 1st cold. tuesday night, i caught the 24 hr. flu.....the kind that involves severe hot flashes, numbing chills, resurfacing meals, and a sore, achy body (which was not a result of a vigorous gym workout). i have now learned my lesson. no more will i boast in saying i usually am unscathed by any flu epidemic and perhaps succumb to the inevitable flu shot.

one reason i have continued to remain m.i.a. is that i was waiting for a certain announcement to be made on another end. now that it has been made, i can can make mine! after the new year, i started working with genya at VUE photography. i know you have all heard my continuous babbling raves.....so when i was asked to join on with her, i was like a giddy little girl on christmas morning! as hard as it may seem, before i ever wanted to plan wedding, i wanted to be a photographer. after studying it a bit on college i fell even more in love with photography, but the doors opened up in the wedding business first. so now, not only am i continuing on with weddings, but i get to do it all from behind a camera. sometimes i have to stop and take in how truly blessed i am. i married the first boy i ever fell in love with, i wake up to warm weather and sunshine just about every day, i have the job most could only dream to have, i have the most precious little baby, and a family who i adore. life doesn't get much better than this!

so here goes.......
