Dear 9-5...

Time to do my happy dance.... Yes, folks. As of today, I am no longer chained to an office desk! After a little over 6 (!) years at my office job, I finally decided it was time to go solo and freelance full-time. All thanks go to Him who has blessed me with the means to be able to venture through unfamiliar waters. But I have the support of my husband, family and the friends who know what's been going on, so I'm not as scared as I was. Thank you to all of you who have encouraged me! I'm eternally grateful for your support.

Dear 9-5,

It's been a good run, but it's time to bid you farewell. Time to embark on a new journey. I may fail, but I will always get up and dust myself off and keep going. I know that God, my family and friends will be with me every step of the way. Thank you for all the experience, without which I wouldn't have been able to be as ready as I am now. So thank you for everything! Peace out!!

Love,
Me

Sunny and Warm Days...

Oh, when will you get here?? This cold weather has got to go! It's murder on my dry skin and overall mood... So I thought I'd dedicate this post to wishes of spring and warmer days.

Oh warm weather... C'mon already!!

Love, Me.

More Lovey Dovey-ness.

I started art journaling. I even joined this to get me even more motivated. This class hasn't officially started yet, but I couldn't wait. Here's my first page. =)

 

Companion. Lover.

Comforter. Fortress.

Shelter. Hero.

Husband.

BEST FRIEND.

LOVE this man of mine.

I heart Love.

(This is about a month and a half overdue, but I did make it in time for Valentine's Day...)

These days, it seems few and far between that we find someone we can love and share life with and what it throws at you. There are fewer of us that are thankful to say that we have found that someone that we simply can't imagine life without. So it's always a joy to see when others share your luck. Chuck and I can't really say congratulations enough to our brother, Zack, and our future sister-in-law, Missie, on their engagement!

 Zack proposed while on their trip to Colorado in December and they have set the date for October 29, 2010. We're pretty excited to be a part of the journey. So visit the lovebirds here and send them your congrats! It's gonna be a great 2010! =)

To help start a new day, week, month...
