January update.

January is quickly comig to an end.I have been making plans for our vacation in April/May. Still undecided about dates, but so excited to know there is warm weather and aqua blue water heading my way! I have a new niece scheduled to arrive on the 29th, I can't wait to meet her! Also I've been trying to fit my NYIP courses in and take as many pictures as I can.....I am learning so much and having fun with the photos....dogs at the beach make for great if not completely frustrating subjects! I tried panning shots of Roxy chasing her tennis ball and got a blue water, sandy beach, black blur! Hmmm....I think thats still a work in progress.....

Welll this is my quick end of month update on an early cold morning. Heres hoping for an early spring!!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Time had been flying...Christmas is come and gone and we're almost half way through January. Nate and I spent a quiet Christmas at home, low key and relaxing. We rang in the new year with a few drinks and the ever magical *KISS* to start things off right! The new years has proven to be good so far....

Nate surprised me with the amature photography

course through the New York Institute of photography for Christmas. I've been wanting to enroll for awhile so I'm super excited to get started. I love photography.... lots of pictures will be on the way!

In the tradition of bringing in the new, my new baby niece will grace us with her birth in less than 3 weeks. I can't wait to meet little Syriana. I will be going to visit my sister Andrea and Syriana over my birthday weekend in February. As excited as I am for my trip it will be strange leaving Nate at home( I'm usually the one waiting for Him to come home from deployments and such.)

Nate and I have started planning our vacation to St. Lucia in April. Jim and Lucy(Nate's Parents) will be joining us, so much to look forward to in the next few months....Lets get this year started!!
