You've got me.

Let's try this again.
Oh, my on and off relationship with blogging. I always have the best intentions, I really do. Sometimes though, when you're being educated 3 days a week, and you're being a pseudo mommy to 3 year old twins 3 days a week, blogging isn't really at the top of the priorities list.
Now however, I have a lovely month long break from the daily school grind. So I figure I can dedicate a little time to this bad boy.

So many good things are going on right now, I really feel blessed.
2009 has had it's ups and downs, that is for sure, but it seems to be closing on an excellent note which I am very thankful for.

I finally feel like past two and a half years at Columbia are starting to pay off. I am meeting some excellent people, taking advantage of opportunities and hopefully forging the way for a career I truly love. Securing a spot at Columbia's label AEMMP Records is one thing I'm really, really excited about. I also just found out that I will be traveling with them to SXSW this March, and hopefully networking my ass off and meeting some people who can be awesome resources (not to mention visiting my lovely Atta Ann!)

I've been working a steady job (what!?) for a few months now, which also feels great. I cannot lie, sometimes I don't want to work 8-6 on Saturdays, but it does feel so good to be able to look at my savings account and not feel embarrassed, or scared.

Per usual, photography gets pushed to the back burner when things get busy, but I've been making a conscious effort to use $2,000 camera I had to have this summer. The material may not be the most inspired, but it feels good to be at least shooting a little bit. I want to work on some more portraits. I loved doing Gracie's senior photos this summer. They turned out so beautifully, it really made me want to do more.

I'm sorry but, could the girl be any more beautiful?

In two days I'll be traveling to Michigan for a week long visit. I am so excited, I really can't even express. Things have been so crazy in Chicago for these past couple months, being at home, spending time with family and old friends will be a really really nice change of pace.

Having no complaints right now feels really good. It's rare that we can really say that, so I'm going to enjoy it as much as humanly possible. Hope everyone else is doing as well.
