Weekend Recap

Wow! What a weekend! Not to mention … a FREEZING weekend! I was out ready to go for the first mini session Saturday morning at 7:15 a.m. and it was 17 DEGREES!!!! So thankful my clients toughed through the cold and thankful I dressed in three layers of clothing. πŸ™‚ It was a very successful day and I could not be more grateful for those who came. THANK YOU all!!! Looking forward to next years Christmas mini sessions! I’ll be sure to keep it a tradition in my business. πŸ™‚

Quick note, but important: I’m leaving for a week long vacation TOMORROW and won’t be back in my office until Wednesday, December 3rd! Going to be soaking up some sun withΒ a pina colada in my hand and feet in the sand … I seriously cannot wait! My goal before I head out tomorrow is to continue to blog through the time I’m gone. Hopefully I have that taken care of before I head out since I’m leaving all of my technology at home. πŸ™‚

Yesterday, I spent the day with Kyle decorating the house! πŸ™‚ Ah! I love this time of the year! We decided to put up our decorations now before we leave for vacation so we have something to look forward to when we have to return. Here’s a little peek of our house right now. πŸ™‚
