Okay, I'm a little embarrassed I have been really slacking on regular posts. Okay, pretty darn embarrassed. Break's over now so you'll be hearing a lot more from me :) Truth is, I have been really enjoying all of the holiday season with my family. And it has been wonderful. For the past several years I have been working retail or fast food over the season, Thanksgiving through New Years working extra hours to help through the busy months. This year I was able to be home with my family for most of the time and I loved it, I soaked in every minute of it. I enjoyed my time with them so much and I am beyond thankful for that much-needed break, but I'm also glad things will be slowing down now and I can really get focused and be productive.
I know my most recent post was also my first "Weekly Wish." This week is a special edition one though, so hopefully it won't seem too repetitive.
This week is all about achievements of 2013.

It was a struggle for me to find a good photo of something orange. Finally came across this photo taken at my wedding, the popcorn bar on the way out the door. Photo credit Jodi Erion Photography.

Its always great looking back on the year. Seems like everyone has done so much. Me not so much! Ha! It was a struggle for me to find a good orange picture as well for this weeks wishes. Glad you found one.
ReplyDeleteBrittany- I'm glad I'm not the only one who had to hunt for a good orange photo :) And you standing up to your boss? You go girl! That in itself is an awesome accomplishment because it makes you stronger and changes you for the rest of your life! Cheers to 2014 :)

Stephanie- The time just goes too fast doesn't it?? I'm just starting out designing business cards, websites, flyers, etc for local businesses and doing some work on Etsy too. Eventually I'd like to finish my degree in web design and expand. Even if I never make it big it's so refreshing to be working on something I actually enjoy for a change! I just visited your blog as well and I'm excited to follow as well :) I hope you enjoyed your New Years celebration, looking forward to seeing what 2014 has in store!
