Catching up

-I keep forgetting about my 101 things in 1,001 days list. I was pleasantly surprised that I have crossed several things off the list! All updates are made on the original list which can be found here.

-Blake and I are heading to Chattanooga for Labor Day weekend. We'll drive down Thursday night and head home sometime Monday. Blake is actually on call on Monday, but one of his co-workers said he might be able to cover for him. We'll know later this week, but I REALLY hope he can! I travel a lot, but it's not often that Blake gets to come with me. We're excited!

-The weekend after Labor Day, a local Mom's group is having a big consignment sale. I've signed up to have a booth in their "Mommy Mall" the day of the sale. I've been getting everything together the past few days and I'm anxious to see the final product! I won a 24"x30" canvas from my gallery wrap company and absolutely cannot wait for it to come in. It was great timing! This is the photo I had printed:

-I would really like to get back on a normal sleep schedule. It's 1:45am - I should be in bed!

Slacker

I've been a blog slacker - again. Posting on the Project 365 blog takes much less thought (and typing!) so this blog kind of falls to the back burner. I'm really proud of myself for sticking with P365 so far! I only missed one day, and in my defense it was the day I drove from Florida to Tennessee by myself :)

Not much has been going on since I got home from Florida. Just catching up on laundry and cleaning. I've been in the mood to de-clutter and organize for some reason, so I'm trying to take advantage of that mood while it lasts! Its been easy to do since I have no desire to leave the house. It has been FREEZING! It was below zero a few days ago. Pure craziness. Tomorrow I'm going to try and brave the cold to make a trip to the post office - I've been putting it off and the pile has gotten rather large: 1 client order, 1 CD, 1 DVD, my quarterly business taxes and one very late Christmas present.

See? My life is boring. At least I have cute photos of Maggie to share :)

Project 365

For some reason I got the idea that I needed ANOTHER blog to try and remember to keep up with... we'll see how well I do!

Project 365 is making a goal to take at least one photo every day. I'm doing great so far! :) Click here to check it out, or click the link in the sidebar to the right. Instead of posting every day, I will probably just post once a week or so - but I am determined to take a photo every day! Being a photographer, I think a lot of times I miss family moments and memories because I'm too worried about the technical aspects of the photo. The past few months I've been trying to make a conscious effort to not worry about all of that and just capture the moment. I'm hoping this project will help with that!

I don't know what is up with me lately - I guess I'm just on a blogging kick.

#41: Check!

41. Visit Florida once a year

I think I can officially cross this one off my list! I was in Florida January of 2008 for Sara & Joe's wedding, and now I am back in Florida again. I'm hoping that in 2009 I will be able to come to Florida more than just once :)

Forgetful

I keep missing 'Wordless Wednesday' - shoot! In my defense, the last 2 Wednesdays were both holidays :)

It's been a busy few weeks! On December 18th, Blake, Maggie and I headed to Tennessee for Christmas. We had a great time! Blake and Maggie went home on the 22nd because Blake had to go back to work, but I was able to stay and spend Christmas with my family. (There were WAY too many photos from our time in TN to post on the blog. If you're interested in seeing them, click here, here and here.)

On the 28th, I headed down to Florida!!! My best friend, Sara, had a baby girl on Monday. I am LOVING being in Florida! The weather is incredible, and baby Sophia is just too precious for words. 

I was planning on heading home January 7th, but decided to stay until the 11th for Sophie's dedication. Poor Blake and Maggie are probably getting lonely, but I'm already dreading the day I have to leave. It's been in the high 70's here and I am wearing short sleeve shirts and flip flops everyday. I'm not looking forward to going back to this:

I've been taking photos of Sophie since she was just a few hours old, but tomorrow we are planning on doing her 'official' newborn session. I can't wait!! I also have a family session sometime this weekend, and 2 or 3 other sessions are in the works - just trying to work schedules out. My camera will be working extra hard these next few weeks!
