2007 in review

2007 whew! What a mess (and bless) it all was: AYW started off the year with three weddings in three weeks (one bride fainted during the ceremony and was too sick to stand for photos) and then the always-successful bridal show We had our first garage sale since moving into the house in 2003 and […]

AYW featured in Brazos Valley Bride!

The new issue of “BV Bride” is out! Look for the cover story on real Brazos Valley brides on pages 48 & 50 featuring [my biggest bridezilla ever] and their wedding. AYW “BCS” provided photography for the event and the article. You can also see an engagement image of J & B in the photographers’ […]

this crazy week

OK, so most of you know that my new job came with some giant first/urgent tasks (don’t they always?). But, given the calls and emails I’ve received, most of you don’t know just how giant these tasks were. 🙂 While I appreciate you all checking on me, I hope you’ll understand why I have not […]

To My Crafty Friends

…and that really means all of you. (After all, we are all crafty in our own ways.) I really like this project/cause. If you are out of ideas for a way to give back this holiday season, please consider a “woobie” for a critter. I know our cats love the crocheted-was-supposed-to-be-a-baby-blanket that lays across the […]

All Hail to the Miami U!

I go to the same convenience store and chat with the same guy every morning. He’s just a doll and one of the best examples of customer service I’ve ever seen. Today, for the first time, he notices, admires, and compliments my Miami ring. He seems impressed. I beam a little with pride. As I’m […]

Raising the Bar

I’m finding myself a bit sleepy this morning. In addition to a busy week, I’ve got the latest version of “the crud”, so I’m not sleeping well. As I was going through my morning news/blog routine, I found myself leaning back in my ergonomic desk chair like it’s a recliner. I found myself starting to […]

No Wonder I Lose Stuff

Ok, so I have lost my Treo twice since June. Once, it was right where it fell out of my bag. The other time, we had to file insurance on it for all the damage it endured. Tonight, I figured out why it was so easy for it to fall out of the case. I […]

Day 3 at StarVision Technologies

Day three. My boss is out of town this week and next. I’m shooting images for the website and negotiating details of our deal with the company we hired. It’s a busy time, but it’s all good stuff! I’m thrilled to be given the responsibility and authority to really make something happen. Moreover, I’m glad […]
