My Holiday Card
Here is the Christmas Card I created for my own family. I am really happy with how it turned out this year, but it helps that I had great photos to work with thanks to my beautiful kids and our shoot with Marie Murray of Memories by Marie! Sorry no photos of me this year ;)

Our day with Marie
So back in October we did a mini shoot with Marie Murray of Memories by Marie and had an amazing time! Marie is really great, and I have loved her work for a while now, so when I noticed she was offering her mini sessions I thought I would jump at the opportunity to have her shoot my two. I am so glad I did. I got so many great photos out of my mini shoot and had a really hard time deciding what to select. Here are a few of my favorites, okay maybe there are more than a few! But I could post everyone one. I sat for hours on her site watching the slideshow of my proofs, the beautiful music helped captivate me! Be sure to check out her site.
I created my holiday card with her amazing photos, which I will share in a few days along with many other 2008 designs. So be sure to check back often!

9 Years and Counting
9 years ago today I got married to my best friend. Amazing when I think about how much time has gone by, 9 years is a long time! In that time we have bought two homes, started two businesses, had two children - seems like we do things in twos!! We have been through a lot together, some good and some bad, but that is what friends are for. I think that is one of the things that keeps us going is that we are always there for each other no matter what life throws at us.
I am sure like many marriages things have not always been like our honeymoon. Having kids was hard, but then I realized that I was pregnant with Miss E right around the "seven year itch"! Gosh I am a hormonal mess during and after pregnancy so I give kudos to my hubby for still loving me through all of that. We have dealt with family issues, financial issues, health issues, and more. But we are still here going strong 9 years later. This morning as we sat around wondering how we were going to deal with the fact that they have to rip apart the entire downstairs of our brand new home to replace the subfloor, I turned to him and said Happy Anniversary! This is our life and we will go through it together.
I am blessed to have such an amazing man in my life. He supports me in everything I do and I support him in most things he does, as long as they are good for me!! He is and always has been my best friend. He has been through some really amazing things with me and I look and think of how lucky I am to have a man who loves me even more now then he did before. How he could tell me how beautiful I am after all of the physical changes I have gone through, and after all of the scary things he has seen - I am lucky!! Oh and he is learning that the woman is ALWAYS right, and even when she is wrong she is RIGHT!!!!
The one thing I have learned over the last 9 years is that I can't change him. My mother in law always told me that men have to be changed, well she was wrong. There is no changing my man! He is who he is and I have to love him for that.
I love you Dave and thanks for 9 unforgettable years, and here is to many many many more!
