i absolutely cannot believe that 2009 has come to an end.  it seems like only yesterday justin and i were spending our very first christmas together as married people.  as i was getting out all my christmas gear to decorate our home i just  couldn't believe that it had been a whole year since the last time i had decked out our house in all this gear.  as fast as the year has gone, sooo much has happened.  i have flown to oregon and back.  to california and back.  to london and back.  to new york and back.  and countless road trips in between.  its been a year of ups and downs.  calm days and busy days.  happy days and sad days.  but most of all, it has been a year full of blessed days.  the lord has been really faithful to both justin and i this year.  he has really affirmed me in my pursuit to serve brides and provide them with photographs that hopefully they will treasure for a lifetime.  he is teaching me more and more everyday to embrase the gifts that he has given me.  to recognize my own true style and know that that makes me, me.   he has provided justin the opportunity to pursue an MBA and his journey with his band, The Dirty Guv'nahs.  justin and the band just actually got back from woodstock, ny from recording an album at levon helm studio.  we have no idea what is going to come of the band this next year, but i have a feeling that only bigger and better things await the dirty guv's and i couldn't be happier than to walk along side justin during this exciting journey.  

i ask for prayers this year as we embark on yet another year of pursuing our passions and dreams.  i feel so grateful that we have been blessed with this opportunity.  i feel extra grateful that i have the best job in the world with the most amazing clients i could ask for!

here's to 2010!!

here is a little recap of 2009
