After receiving a few emails from friends, Kaleidoscope fans, and folks who like pretty pictures about where I’ve blogger been lately (which always tickles me, because I’m still surprised people read my blog) I thought I’d throw out a quickie update.
Here’s what’s up:
Thing 1.) We moved! Yuppers. Although we loved our little community next to the sea, we were getting seriously tired of the hassles that come with residing in a 90+ year old desperately-needed-to-be-renovated house, with a basement. About 200 yards from the water. Yup, that’s right. Basements + water = ewwww! So, we sold out for more square footage and better school districts, and although we were **sooo** nervous about whether or not we had made the right decision, I can happily report that after a few nights in our new digs, we feel like we’re in house Heaven. I’m really enjoying our new little community, and since we’re still only about 10 minutes from the beach, all is good in my gotta-be-near-a-body-of-water world. There is a beautiful little lake about a block away which nurtures my need for nature, and we’re no longer having to lurk down into our gloomy basement every time it rains in fear of rising flood waters.
Thing 2.) The crazy travel stuff continues. Although we’ve toned down our globe-trotting ways a little bit this year (after a final count, we took 17 trips in 2009) the hubster has had to be away quite a bit for work lately, and as a stay-home-mom/Photographer/Graphic Designer (which someone told me I officially am now that I’ve launched a few successful products, but I’m still struggling with that title) there is only so much I can manage all by me lonesome. So, sessions have been on a mini-hiatus for the first quarter of this year. I’m resuming a regular shooting schedule in April, and will likely have some things to share between now and then. As for my availabilty goes, April is pretty much full at this point, but I should have some openings in May.
Well, I better wrap up this update. Especially since I’m staring at dozens of unopened boxes as we speak. And a lot of blank wall space. Which I am just dying to hang pretty things on. But, as Ray reminds me (left-brainers!) there are priorities to be tended to first. Like putting up shower curtains and finding the trash bags. So, until we can stop saying things like “Hon, have you seen my laptop?” followed by “I think it’s in the upstairs bathroom next to the blender…” my days will be spent sorting, organizing, and experiencing those “here it is!” revelations that only come with moving.
So, stay tuned. I promise more pics soon, as soon as I’m able to spend some time with my camera. And, as soon as I find it. – PB
