Busy!

This post is random….

It’s funny, I’ve never really been a busy person. I prefer to be at home, watching TV, or cleaning, or just hanging out! Lately I find myself very busy though! It’s a strange feeling, but I kind of like it! I’ve always been pretty crafty, but lately my crafty side has been fighting to emerge! My mom bought me a new sewing machine for my birthday (I know…. a little early) and I am so excited to learn how to use it!!! I plan to make a T-Shirt quilt with all of my college T-shirts! I signed up for a class next Thursday at a local Austin sewing shop. They will teach me all about how to use my machine, and I am so excited!

I also signed up for a Photography class at UT that starts in March. It is once a week for 2 hours on Wednesday nights, I am so looking forward to a professional teaching me how to use my camera! The class is about 20 people, and it said that we go on field trips, I guess to take pictures and such! My sister in law Cate and I are in the beginning stages of starting our own photography business here in Austin! I want to do family, babies,  and maternity pics, and she wants to do events and weddings!

My best friend Ashley is getting married in May, so I have been helping out here and there with wedding preparations! We are having a shower for her in March, and I volunteered to do the invites… and then I got the bright idea to save money and MAKE them all!! They are adorable, but are going to take a long time! I better get on it!

I really want to be on the volunteer committee for Relay for Life here in Austin. I have been waiting for a lady at ACS to call me back to get me signed up, but I guess they are really busy because I haven’t heard back from her. Hopefully soon though!

This weekend Dave and I are having a little super bowl party gathering! It should be fun! We will be having Salt Lick BBQ (Dave’s fav) and I’m going to make some hors d'oeuvres. This means Saturday will be devoted to some deep cleaning!

Well, that in a nut shell is my life these days… busier then normal for sure! But I am enjoying getting into photography, and learning to sew! I really want things to be excited about in life, and those are things that i have a passion for! I have decided that no matter what my occupation is, I’m never going to get he fulfillment out of it that I need, so having these other things in my life will be really great!
