That being said, I'll let you all know that last November/December, I quit m
y job of 7 years, sold all my furniture, and made the big move to Bend, Oregon. It was both terrifying and exciting all at the same time. And... So far so good! Actually, didn't think I'd like it as much as I do. Previously only vising the area for camping expeditions, I recently found myself here, on vacations and holiday's (The 'Rents made the big move too - 6 years ago). But I've already found a job that I enjoy, I've started making friends, and the weather is incredible! The first month I was here, we had snow!!!! And I'm not talking about a few flakes here and there, I mean, SNOW! We had about 7 inches that stayed around for about 3 weeks because it was soooooo cold! However, now? Clear and sunny skies! Sunrises and Sunsets are AMAZING!

Currently living at home, in an effort to save money, I honestly have been pleasantly surprised. I'M ACTUALLY GETTING ALONG WITH MY PARENTS! (Words I never thought I'd type) Yes, it may have something to do with the fact that I'm more mature, but I think the folks are happy to have me here - READ: They like having a Cinderella home! :) And with rent at a flat rate of $300 a month, I'm happy to oblige.
They have also been very accepting of my ambition to start my own business. Well, let me back up, at this point calling it a business is somewhat incorrect. For the past few years (since my brother got married), I've been creating, producing, and loving making invitations (specializing in weddings). Last year I did the invitations for Becca & Sean, Bianca & Bob, Brooke & Tony, and then helped finalize Noel & Daviel's. Needless to say it was quite a busy year, and 2008 is going to be busier than ever! I'm in the process of designing 3 invites (ALL AUGUST WEDDINGS!!!!) Shoot me now! ;) Andrea & Randall, Steve & Keely, and LeaAnne & Dan. So far, I have about 20 different designs going and am not very happy with any of them... Hopefully they do!!! :)Well, At any rate, it turns out that I have a bit to say... So stay tuned!
