IT’S COMING…

Alright, alright, alright… I get it, I haven’t blogged in a long time. The traveling to Paris in November, Christmas, and my birthday have all gotten the best of me. Not to mention that I quit my job 2 days before Thanksgiving. This has been such a great time for us. I’ve been nanny-ing for 3 of the sweetest boys ever. It’s been so amazing to have such flexibility and be able to pursue my personal and professional goals on the side. I have so much time that I didn’t get before. It’s been wonderful and I am a much happier person.

So… getting back to what this post is really about…
I have something really exciting in the works. Something that I have been wanting to do for a really long time. I’ve been working on this project for a while and you guys will finally get to see it Friday, January 21. YES!! I really can’t wait to show you!

It’s Coming!!!!

SECRET PROJECT

So… the truth is that I have not been blogging lately, because I have been investing my time into a secret project. Hopefully this won’t be a secret for too much longer. And when I say not too much longer… it could be a couple of months or so. :) BUT soon enough my friends… patience.

But I will say that you will LOVE it!!! Well… hopefully. :)

Until then………..

BRAINWASH

Even though Christmas is still 2 months away and my birthday is a little more than 2 months away… I know exactly what I want.

I find that as I get older it becomes a little bit more difficult to come up with “What do I want for Christmas/Birthday?” Obviously, I don’t NEED anything, but family loves buying gifts for each other…. I’m guilty of this as well. I LOVE giving gifts. It’s usually really hard for me to keep it a secret… just ask my mom.

So, this year, Philip and I have decided to only get each other one gift and the usual stocking stuffers. We really just don’t need 10 or so gifts each… that’s just craziness. HOWEVER… today I discovered exactly what it is I want for Christmas/Birthday/Valentines Day/Etc. You might have guessed from my extensive amount of occasions listed that this gift is BIG! And when say BIG… I really mean expensive. In my defense though, this is something VERY useful that has the potential to change my life. Literally.

I’m sure you have heard me mention Laurent Clark a few times on this blog. She is an absolutely amazingly talented photographer. LOVE her work. Well, she is offering a group Brainwash in December and in January. This is an amazing opportunity! If you don’t know what a Brainwash is… you can read about it HERE!

So… Yes, this is $800 (plus driving to Stillwater, OK), BUT this is a great opportunity to really jump-start a career. A way for me to do something that I love while working from home, traveling with Philip, and the time to spend with my future family. This could be amazing….

I’m HIGHLY doubting that we will be spending 800 bucks this year on Christmas gifts… the thought of that is actually making me laugh out loud right now. But a girl can dream, right? :)

LACK OF BLOGGAGE

I am extremely sorry for the lack of bloggage lately… things have been fun, crazy, busy, exciting, etc. God is really working in us lately… so, although there is so much I could write about, there is little that I want to write about just yet. Don’t you worry though, once all of these thoughts are processed a little bit more – I will share EVERYTHING!

I hope all of you are having a GREAT Fall so far… it has been absolutely BEAUTIFUL here is Austin. Perfect ACL weather!

Only 27 Days until our 2 year anniversary… and only 45 Days until we are in Paris!!!
