Winter to spring!!

I was excited for the extra time I would have this spring - not working at Lovaas - but here I am - not writing anything since our Florida vacation! Here are some quick notes as to what has happened:
I helped direct the Miss West Metro/City of Lakes pageant again! {http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=2868396&id=13947098} and we got to do their portraits! {http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=154931&id=7221789901}

Dan and I each got to celebrate with Chris and Karen at their bachelor/ette parties. Dan got to practice his paintball skills and I got to go salsa dancing for the first time!!

I started my own Pampered Chef business, had 4 parties and recruited a new consultant!!

I got the pleasure of doing my first maternity session {http://www.dnkphotography.com/wedding-photographers-and-portraits-blog/2010/03/22/moriahs-minneapolis-maternity-pictures/}

We have had a lot of client meetings and some really fun engagement sessions!! {http://www.dnkphotography.com/wedding-photographers-and-portraits-blog/2010/03/23/steve-and-jenni-engagement-session-ne-minneapolis-and-main-street-theater/}

We are hoping to make a trip down to Colorado/Utah/Tucson again - just waiting to hear back from our CPA to hear what the damage is ; ) We hope to leave Thursday for the big trip!!!

We have also enjoyed the wonderful weather God has blessed us with this March!! We have gotten to ride the motorcycle a few times and Dan is actually out on a ride right now with our friend Dan - so I had some time alone to just sit and write : )

OH! We also got to celebrate the marriage of Chris and Karen!!! It was SO much fun to be there are attendants and not as photographers. Dan was in the wedding and I was Karen's personal attendant - so I stayed pretty busy! Their wedding was just on March 27th - Sunday was pretty much a 'recovery' day for me!!! I was tired!! We were so busy with wedding details all day Thursday and Friday plus Saturday - but it was amazing!!!!
So - what else is new? We just finished up a 14 month sermon series on 1 Corinthians at church - Pastor Steve really hit it home wit some topics. I look forward to see would God is going to use this in the near and further future to help me grow and continue to see areas that I can improve in.

I have also had the joy of meeting with a woman from church as her mentor. We had a few times to just meet, get to know each other and chat - no we are going to do bible studies together. I am really excited for what this will bring - and for the chance for God to use me in writing these studies : )

Well - I am off to do some cleaning - and enjoy this wonderful weather!!
