Gabriel and Daniel: Brothers!

/

Hello everyone!  I have been away from the blogging realm for a couple weeks and now I have a few pictures to post.  These are actually from around Christmas time but I never got around to posting them.  Sad, because they are of Gabe and Dan, my future spouse and my future brother.  And these two are looking good in their uniforms. I hope that all you of readers are well.  The sun hasn't shone for awhile and that can do a number on some people.  I really like cloudy days but even I am starting to feel it.  So, let us all think about something sunny and yellow (like my cute, new skirt from Fossil below) to lift our moods.  Soon it will be spring...118 days until I get MARRIED!

Happy Monday!

G'day.

I just drank several cups of coffee, ate a very fast bowl of cereal and now my stomach hurts.  Oops.  And as I sip more coffee, I thought I'd share a photo of my new business, cards, envelopes, and letterhead with you.  It's below:

I officially feel like MLP is growing up and I am very proud of what this little business is becoming.  2010 will be a big year for MLP, like 2009.  How so?  A few of my goals for 2010 are to participate in wedding shows (did my first one on the 10th!), offer more products to my clients, and to find more locations for photo shoots.  I am sure the list will continue to grow.  Last year I learned so much and did so much.  Sometimes it is hard to imagine the type of change that I know will inevitably occur.  But it will.  I look back at my first website (I thought it was the end all, be all) and then at my new one and appreciate change.  A LOT.

2009 was such a good year for me.  Sometimes I am tempted to wish I could live it again.  Here are some highlights (these are in random order):

Met my love, Gabriel.

Shot 29 weddings with my mom and Gabe and shot 50+ photo shoots.

Resigned from my old job to work on MLP full time.

Attended the Love Affair Workshop.

Saw Gabe graduate from boot camp.

My work for Asbury College was published.

Got engaged.

MLP got a face lift in the form of new website, colors and logo.

Have a great week! 

Ada's First Birthday Party

/

Hello everyone!  Today is my first Saturday of the year without anything wedding-oriented.  Last weekend I was buzzing around preparing for the Kentucky Bride Bridal Show.  By the way, the show was a great success for me!  Two consultations just today!  Thanks to everyone for stopping by by booth. Below are a few pictures from Ada's birthday party last weekend.  Ada is my friend, Lizbeth's, daughter and she is too cute.  This little one-year-old had a blast!

I have a wedding update!  We have a reception site...for sure.  I was telling everyone that the reception was at Highbridge Pavilion and now it is official.  My mom, Natalie (1 of 3 MOHs.  That's right), and me stood outside a couple weeks ago in Jessamine County and we got it!  Yay!  The pavilion is a big and beautiful canvas on which we will design and decorate for one awesome party!  Hopefully.  Right now I am working on Save the Dates.  Any invitations/paper people recommendations would be much appreciated.

Have a fun Saturday night!
