2010

so...I basically didn't post a blog for the whole year of 2010. Not sure what my problem was. Mainly laziness I guess. Feel like no one really cares what I have to say..do they?! Or maybe I just put all my info on FB so why bother to do it here ya know? I do enjoy reading other peoples blogs. Just not a fan of doing it myself.
But since we are starting a new year, I am going to try to be better about blogging. I have alot to be thankful for, this year has had its ups and downs for sure! Glad it is over and looking forward to the future.

I offically quit Dillards to be a SAHM and with that wound up being so busy working freelance jobs that I could hardly call myself a SAHM! I always knew there were other opportunites out there but never had the balls to quit my "real" job to go for it. So glad that I did! I have opened so many new doors this year and feel so blessed as a makeup artist! Plus in addition to quiting my job, it did allow me more free time with Leland. Now I can pick and chose when I want to work. Which works out much better for our family!

I am also excited about tomorrow. Tomorrow we get the keys to our new place. We love where we live now, but we are busting at the seams! 2 bedrooms is not working out. I need an office and we need a yard for my munchkin, since he loves to play OUTSIDE!!!
I have thought of the pros and cons for leaving our townhouse community for a house. But in the long run, I think the list is higher for the pros...atleast for now ;) I may be cursing our house in a few months...stay tuned..haha

What I am most excited about is to feel more like an "adult". I haven't lived in an actual house in over 8 years. I have been an apartment girl! The past 2 being in a townhouse, but lets face it..its the same! I am excited to have a big garage, a yard...I might even plant some flowers?! who knew?! What I am super excited about is to have my own "room". Josh is being very supportive of my makeup career, so I am going to turn our extra bedroom into a makeup room. I can do bridal consultations at the house which is super exciting for me! My own GIRL space! I feel so bad for him now. Our bathroom looks like a cosmetic counter threw up in it. So now, he won't have to see any makeup at all! I am going to put it all in my room ;) I already have several brides booked for the year and am hoping to build my business. I know I am talented and blessed, so fingers crossed that I can make this happen!

So here's to 2011...And as Lelands new favorite toy would say "To infinity and beyond!!!"

peace & chicken grease,
