Year in Review

I was going to do a year in review. And I’m decided not to. Why, because it’s been a crazy busy year and there is so much. So the good news, I still have my job, I’m another year older, I’m wiser, I’m grateful, I’m happy, and I’m loving my parents my brother and most of all my husband.

I’m not pregnant, and the baby buzz is gone. It was just a phase due to Brodie being born. I’m glad I didn’t get pregnant either. I’m not ready and neither is Mr. D. We love our lives, just the way they are.

As to my resolutions, I had to stop kickboxing due to a knee and hip injury, I sneaked in a few stops at Wendy’s along the way, but I at the chicken pecan salad or had water instead of soft drink. I didn’t eat at any other fast food joints and I checked my calorie intake on everything. I only eat low cal, natural, or no sugar added foods now and I started exercising daily, I’m now doing Zumba with the Wii, courtesy of my mom. I never lost those 5 pounds but I’m happy where I am.

I am happy. I followed my heart with a lot of things. We may never have had those parties I wanted to, but we have amazing friends that we love to hang out with. We did a lot to the house this year and knocked a lot off of our to do lists. It’s a great feeling and I’m super excited to do the rest.

All in all it was a good year. And soon enough 2011 will be here and it will start all over again. All I can say is don’t wish your days away because as you get older you realize time flies faster and it will never come back.

Blacking aka Blog Slacking

So I totally tried to make the photo blog, copying the numerous famous and creative bloggers that I follow. It never happened. I don’t have enough time in the day to accomplish that, and to keep it up to date. So yea, back to writing it is.

I know I’ve been gone for about a month. I’ve been insanely busy. Let’s see, I went hunting, a lot, got a buck and I’m happy. I had a new wall in my house built, so I now have an actual spare bedroom. I painted the empty closet, the new room, the wall, the hallway, and touched up just about everything I could. And don’t get me started on work. For awhile there I was just hustling to keep up, and I wasn’t even keeping up. I took on new roles and am super psyched that I succeeded in them.

So yea I’ve been busy and I’ve been slacking, but hopefully this upcoming year I will be better. I honestly think I slacked the last time at the same time last year.

Just call it holiday drama.

New Adventures?

As this year comes to a close it’s crazy when we all reminisce about the past 12 months and what occurred. Pretty much the main thing in my life is I took one giant step into the dark and decided to try my hand at modeling. Not hand modeling, but regular modeling. So far so good, I have met some amazing people and designers and creative minds and people who are just like me. I also have realized it’s a lot of fun! With that said this New Year I’m going to start coaching models, I’ve been asked by a photographer I worked with to help him build new model portfolios. I don’t know everything there is to know, but I do know a lot, and am a very good teacher. So hopefully the mentoring will blossom into something big. I have also realized I really want to be an event coordinator. I love the behind the scenes planning of it all and it just lights my creative spark that I have been missing for these past few years.

So this year closes hopefully new doors will open. I hope I can meet more extraordinary people and maybe dabble in event coordinating along with mentoring and modeling.
