Does everyone get mushy like me around the Holidays? At the movies yesterday with my family, (we saw Bolt - super funny and a great pic for the whole family by the way) at the end of the movie I found myself blubbering like I don't even know what. Earlier in the week, we rented Narnia: Prince Caspian (also a good family pic) and every time (I've tortured myself by watching it, and crying with it, three times!) the movie nears the end there's this song (I have to figure out what the name is) starts and the waterworks start. My goodness - it's not even just movies a commercial can get me too!
Guess it's that I start thinking about everything all at once ... what am I making for dinner, ooo - have to grocery shop, finish up holiday shopping, get out the holiday cards, return phone calls, check email, finish that artwork, assemble those invites, did I send out all my estimates, did I figure out preschool for next week, am I getting enough sleep - no, I really want to see Twilight, am I heading in the right direction with my career, the weight of our country's economic woes, the fact that our Christmas will not be as grand as years past and more and more ... then (there's a glimmer of light) realize that I don't mind the previous list so much since really do have so much to be thankful for and just well up. I really hope the tearing up goes away soon. People may start to ask questions. :) Or maybe they're just thinking (ladies this is) that we really are all a lot more alike that we'd like to think.
I definitely am thankful - that is for sure. To my past, present and future clients ... thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me to create the first glimpse into your most special events. I am blessed to have worked with wonderful brides, businesses and families thought out my 6 year stretch as a business owner/graphic designer and really do love every crazy moment of it. My growing business would not be possible with out ya'll!!
The pic above is from my annual holiday photo shoot with the two men in my life. Oooo, they are so cute. Without their love and support (along with the rest of my family), I wouldn't make it through a week.
I talk a a lot throughout my blog about my friends at The Memory Journalists and this year we were honored to have two photographers from the studio shoot our family pics. We sorta felt like we were being stalked by the paparazzi for the afternoon - and loved it. We do enjoy hamming it up for the camera. :) I have been blessed not only with great clients throughout the years, but have formed lasting friendships with colleagues through projects in the wedding & event industry. Thank you to you all (ya'll know who you are!) for being a great source of inspiration and support!
I know that all seems just a little disjointed - sort of rambling a little but I hope the message is clear - Thank you, everyone for everything you do to make my life a little sweeter. Cheers!
