Santa's Little Helper

Here is Santa's helper with his friend, Mr. Teddy Bear

Being Santa's helper is such hard work...it wore me out!

I am well-rested after my nap!

This job is so easy....I can do it laying down!

A beautiful wedding

I had the honor of photographing the wedding of Mark & Tiffany. It was an absolutely beautiful event held at the agency where they met, fell in love and chose to live life together.

Let it snow!

Woke up to about 19" of snow!

Unfortunately, I had to be in Ohio to attend a funeral last week. Fortunately, the family lives only a few miles from the breeders where my little Alfie is currently residing. I decided to pay her a visit to let her know I am coming back for her in a few weeks.

As you can see, she likes to chew...I have a lovely selection of chew toys for her...

She is also very playful and loves having her tummy rubbed!

What a face!

I am SOOOOOO excited! Since I am done with school, I have decided that it is time for a puppy!

I found the perfect little girl for me. She is only 5 weeks old, so I have to wait 3 more weeks before I can bring her home. I am calling her Alfie! Looks like I better have plenty of chew toys!

Saturday, January 16, 2010 was the end of a successful completion on my MBA. It was a wonderful day and I was surrounded by my family.

Thank you, Lord, Deb, Terrasa & Kristin...I could not have done it without you!!!!

Just Lounging Around...and the Goodness of God

This beautiful chaise lounge is a gift from mia sorella (my sister in Italian)! After a visit to The Outback, Stephanie decided that I needed a chaise lounge. I had seen the chaise lounge that matches my outdoor dining set so we drove to the store to check it out. The original price had been $499...which I would NEVER pay, especially at the end of the season. It had been marked down to $349, then to $249, which is still a little pricey, but it matched what I had so we went to find someone to wait on us. After the salesman showed up, he left and forgot about us. I was checking out the pallet to see if there were any new chaises in a box. As I walked around the 3 boxes, I happened to see that the price on the bottom box was $159! It was mis-marked, but the store had to sell it to us for that price! When the salesman finally returned, I exclaimed, "I want THAT one!" GOD IS SOOO GOOD!

It arrived today and I put it together....then I tested it! It was so comfortable, that I feel asleep right after I took this photograph! :-) Thanks, Stephanie for the gift to me...and God for the price break!
