:: year end 2013 ::

...well, 2013 was amazing! I completely neglected this poor little blog. Maybe, once again, one of my resolutions will be to keep up a little better with it. We'll see how that works out =)

My clients are the absolute best...EVAHHHHH. I truly believe this. They are not only clients, but often become friends as well. So thankful and so very lucky.

Here's to a GREAT 2014!! I wish you lots of love, happiness, and, of course, SMILES!!

:: SURPRISE ::

...bet you'd forgotten that I actually have a blog! It's been an absolutely INSANE fall. As most of you know, my husband was deployed in early May to Kuwait/Afghanistan...it was 6 challenging months, but he returned last week unscathed and happy to be home. This fall, actually starting in August, proved to be my busiest season ever...which is wonderful, but also difficult while trying to be a decent single parent...hence, no blog. It's still pretty crazy busy for me, but I feel the need to start getting things back to the way they were...updating you all with the goings on around here, whether you like it or not :)

So here is round one of my update...next round will be my fall weddings! 3 within a week of each other...makes me tired just thinking about it! Thank you for sticking with me through this difficult yet wonderful fall...I truly appreciate it.

:: the girl next door ::

...I believe if you look up that phrase in the dictionary you'd find a picture of Miss {C}. Truly! She's sweet, beautiful, smart, funny...can't beat that combo! Again, I so enjoy my seniors and she is no exception. Being around her just makes you smile =)

So...for a record THIRD post of the day...here is the beautiful Miss {C}

:: senior beauty ::

...ahhhh...I feel like I'm back in the swing of things. My seniors are getting started and I LOVE it. They are just so much fun!! This lovely lady kept me laughing...always a good thing! Enjoy the pics of this soon to be high school graduate =)

:: PATTERSON MILL HS 2012 SENIOR REP ::

...meet Sydney...my 2012 Senior Rep from Patterson Mill High School. Wow. Just wow. She is an absolute stunner...AND, more importantly, she is the sweetest person! She's quite the smarty pants too...Hello??? National Honor Society!! I feel so lucky to have met this extraordinary young woman. She truly is a gift to us all.
