Our Christmas Vacation

This is going to be a long one so bear with me! Oh, and none of the images are edited.

Last weekend, we headed to Dallas to see Crockett show us his karate moves and to celebrate Parker's 3rd birthday! Needless to say, Liz and I did a lot of shopping and the kids were too adorable for words.




We spent Christmas Eve with Mike's family! We had a great time eating, visiting, and opening gifts! Jax had a GREAT (those of you who were there know what Im talking about.....Chewy!) time as well. I went to Stratford with Erin and SJ this past weekend and had a very relaxing time! Too bad, I forgot my camera on that trip!





Mike and I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

Christmas Came Early for Amy


Ok, so some of you know that I have decided to really get into photography. Mike and I have been discussing and praying about this dream that I have for a little while now and today we took the first step. We purchased this Canon Rebel XSi. I am so ready and excited to get started learning all the ins and outs of this complicated contraption. If you know me, you know that I give 100% in everything I take on and I know that this will be a long and rewarding adventure for both of us. So, if you want some pictures and are willing to take a chance, I would love to practice on you.

I know I am dreaming big considering I teach Kindergarten, am a grad student, and am getting married in 34 days, but I know that this is one thing I want to do and do well! Plus, I have the most supportive fiance who wants me to do what I want and be successful. This is for our family's future and my sanity. Stay tuned for updates on our adventure into the world of photography!
