Hello 2009!

Geez… sorry I’ve been gone so long.  I enjoyed some very much needed time with my family and did a couple photo sessions during the past 2 weeks too.  I just had fun!

By now I hope you’ve thought about your 2009 to-do list.  (I like calling it a to-do list instead of resolutions.)  My list is long, and I’m so hoping to accomplish 80% of it.

• One word to focus on in 2009: INVEST (this is inspired by Ali Edwards).  I will be working on an INVEST scrapbook to document how I invest in my life and the life of others around me during 2009.
• People scrapbook.  This is going to be a mini scrapbook of all the people that my daughter knows.  It will be on chipboard so that it’s a bit more sturdy for her to use daily.
• Marathon training.  I am teaming up with one of my online friends (we’ve known each other for about 3 years but have never met in person, yet) to train for an upcoming marathon in March.  Personally I don’t think I will be able to do it.  I don’t have the endurance yet, but I’m still walking/jogging and going through the training of it in hopes to lose some weight.  My total goal is 20 lbs.  Even if I don’t participate in the marathon I will be on the sidelines cheering her on.  (Go, Lisa, Go!!)
• Baby Photography.  This year I am going to focus on getting newborn and baby photography under my belt.  To date I have only photographed 2 babies (one was 7 weeks old, the other was 7 days old) and I want to master this.  Great opportunity for this is my Sister is due the end of January.  If you are located in SE Kansas and are expecting and would like to have maternity and/or newborn photography done please contact me.  I am currently searching for maternity and newborn models.  I will post about the model search on my blog soon.
• Come up with a business slogan.

I have them all written down on my dry erase board at home.  I know I’ve missed a couple but can’t remember them ALL from the top of my head.

What’s on your list for 2009?
