New Blog

To anyone still reading this blog. I am sorry to not update it more often. Life has changed greatly since I began blogging and unfortunately I do not post as often as I would like. I find myself in many new situations these days trying desperately to draw from previous experiences to make our lives successful.

One thing I know something about is photography, networking, and marketing. I am no expert by any means and I am constantly learning but I am trying to use those valuable skills/ideas to impact my husband's family's farm. Did you get that? Basically I married into the farm and now I am trying to fit in. :)

I honestly do not know if I will be able to add to this blog but one goal this year is to keep a weekly blog of farm life. We are striving to connect with our customers on a more personal level and that seems like a good idea. So I invite all of you to hop on over there and check it out.

2009 Flashback - A Christmas Program

I was THRILLED when Mat said he would take me to see my dear friends in their Christmas program. It was a very enjoyable trip and I was happy to take some pictures. I think maybe my dear husband is starting to get used to my jumping bean photographer tendancies. It is worse when he is with me because I just want to be sitting close to him but the urge to take pictures of such sweet children is hard to resist.

2009 Flashback - Siblings at Christmastime

My siblings and me that is. Yes, this is us + my husband at Christmas.

Mom wanted pictures so I handed over the camera. I am so not good at personal celebration pictures at the holidays...maybe when I have little kids....maye not.

2009 Flashback - Christmas with extended Family

Seeing as how it was a first year together at Christmas Mathew and I had a lot of options of who to celebrate with. It was a long weekend. As per usual I did not take many pictures. I love to just be a part of the celebration. ;) This sweet thing is my cousins little girl who brings a whole new excitement to the family gathering. At the top she is pictured with her Great Grandma!
