St. Louis

This weekend I’m going to be in St. Louis and I am getting so excited!  If anyone from that area would like to have dinner with us on Friday night email me so I can give you more info.  I love love love meeting new people so anyone is welcome!

This weekend my husband and I were having quite the conversation.  I swear every January we are so unhappy living in the cold North.  I’ve lived in Minnesota my entire life and every winter about a month or so after Christmas is when I think everyone starts to get really antsy. (This is why we put up our Christmas tree right before Christmas and leave it up longer than most people b/c it seems to make the long winters go by faster for me.  lol)  And so we were talking over breakfast after church about where we could move.  I would love to move somewhere that is warm and doesn’t snow.  I’d also love to live where I could charge more for my portraits.  (wouldn’t everyone!)  Anyway, there are so many ‘ifs’ about moving.  It’s just one of those things that you just talk about but never do.

I was just talking to my friend Dawn McCarthy today and was telling her about this same subject and she said it’s like cutting your hair. It’s like you always want to do it but you are too chicken.  lol  But it’s funny, I chopped my hair and gave myself a new cut today maybe because I know deep down I will most likely never move.  And I needed something new!

Anyway, I am working on some ‘NEW’ things for Rock That OCF and I hope to be able to announce it very soon.  I am finishing up all the details in the next week or so too.  It’s taking me a lot longer to get my work done now with my husband out of town so much and I don’t have much help with our daughter.

I hope to announce this very soon!!!! I am so excited about what’s coming up!

I simply CANNOT wait to meet you and get down to business learning from you this weekend. Thanks again for coming out to work with us!

Well, if you’d like to move to a really great place I’d recommend the Land of Enchantment, aka New Mexico. I can’t say it *never* snows in Albuquerque but once or, if we’re lucky, twice a year isn’t too bad. We only get a few inches in the city and a few feet in the nearby mountains. From the city it looks like God sprinkled the mountain tops with powdered sugar! And we don’t have to deal with the headaches of it lasting in the city for days because it’s melted in a day or so. But in the summer it’s not as hot as Phoenix, thank goodness.

You know what, you could vacation here for a while and see how you like it. That would sorta be like trying a short-haired wig on instead of cutting cutting your hair!

Well, just a thought. ;-)

Enjoy the new ‘do!

So…since you cut your hair I guess that means you won’t be my neighbor. ;-) Well, that’s okay. I still see a “dual workshop” in sunny Florida in our future. XOXO
