Happy New Year!

Do you ever feel like there isn't enough time in a day to get done all that you wanted to get done in that day? I feel like that daily! Like right now I have a room full of Canadian Candy I am dieing to take pictures of but I need to set up my room, teach my kid a bit of school today, and clean my house… it keeps me busy though, I love having lots to do!
It is a New Year already! I love the feeling of a brand new year, especially now that we live in Vegas and there is no snow on the ground! More than that though I love a new year because, you can start again, start new goals, new projects and best of all reflect on your last year. Although my days feel like I don't get a lot done I look back over the year and can't believe all that I have seen and done. What a fabulous year! My husband was accepted into a school, the school is in a warm climate, I taught the best kids of my (to date) teaching career, our family was able to go to Europe and visit my Nonna, while there I saw Venice and a tiny bit of Ireland (leavening me definitely wanting more!), I became a stay home mom (the best decision of our lives), and I have ploughed into my passion for photography, and I have even started a blog with some of my work. If you knew me you would know that this blog has been a HUGE step forward for me. I am a bit of an introvert, and I don't do well with criticism. I am the third grade kid who cried for an hour when my teacher pointed out that ONE of my S's on my entire writing page was wrong, I was devastated and I still remember it! So to put my 'work' however good or not good I think it is out on the web for anyone to look at has been quite an achievement for me.

This year I have a whole heap of photography goals, but I am going to keep them to myself for a bit. I hope as a reader of this site you know that I am just in the absolute beginning stages of photography, and I hope you enjoy my little place on the web, where I get to be me and put 'myself out there'! Even though I just told you my deep dark secret of being scared of criticism please feel free to comment even if it is to help me become better.

Loves, and here’s to a wonderful 2010!
