I love Newborns!
Sean and I just got back from Florida this week. We were there visiting his dad and our friends that just had a baby. A week and a half old! So exciting! Here are some of the photos that I took on our trip.

Good Lord Is Almost Thanksgiving
Life is flying by at warp speed these days. It's so hard to believe that we are so close to Christmas and only six months until the wedding! yikes! There seems that there is so much to do everyday with wedding planning, keeping the business on track during these economic times, and keeping my personal life under control--without letting my business life take over.
I was forced to slow it down this last week and weekend...it's amazing what sickness does to you. During my time in quarantine, I sat down and got my life organized. I have always considered myself organized. I like order, making sure everything has a home and returns to that place at the end of the day so that it doesn't start taking over. Cleanliness is a must or I get irritable. And, at work, I have always been fairly organized, but the demands of this job, keep you from being able to focus on any one task for longer than about 5 minutes. And, if you can't get it done in those 5 minutes, well, you better hope you remember to come back to it! But, I never feel like I get ahead of the game. It used to be that the business would slow down in the winter so that we can get caught up on projects, but now, since we are in constant growth mode, there is no more slow. Ever.
I have always looked at friends ad colleagues in the industry that seemed to have their whole lives planned out on a calendar, right down to bedtime, like they were crazy--or hyper-organized. Yeah, now I know why. You get to the point sometimes where you get so overwhelmed with things that are going on and easily sidetracked by being pulled in 90 different directions, that it feels like NOTHING ever gets done. So, here I am today, with my calendar before me, that is chock full to the minute of times when certain tasks will be done--everyday. Thank goodness this business is slightly repetitive every month. And, barring the emergencies, from now on, it is probably just going to have to wait until its scheduled time.
