My thanks, my life, my blogs, my Hilary Duff side, etc., etc.

Well, well, well, looks like there are more of you sneaky lurkers out there than I thought. I love you silent types. You just go from blog to blog, gleaning information until you are a super genius, and all the while no one even knows you're around. Then every once in awhile you are the ones who decide to show your learned faces to us writers, making us feel so important because we find out that, yes, there are people reading the words we thought we were just throwing out into space for all eternity. Now I know there are real people reading my thoughts, and I thank you.

I found this out because my super spy, google analytics, told me that a bunch of you went to our photography website through this blog. Oh man, you guys make me feel so special! I'm not sure if it's like a car accident that you just can't look away from, or if it's because you actually care about the projects and tid bits going on in my life.... either way, it really does make me feel like you all love me. :-) I feel like Sarah Jessica Parker, or gossip girl, or Hilary Duff in that one movie, or Doogie Howser (if there was Internet then).... either way, I get to do what I love and write my observations about life, and people read them! Now I just need to either get a pair of Manolos or a lab coat made for a 14 yr old and I'm set.

Since you are such loyal followers of my life, I want to commit to you right now to not allow this blog to be taken over by boring business stuff. It is hard because right now I am completely single minded and that IS all that my life is right now. I'm not committing to not mention it or discuss it or even slip in a subliminal message advertisement once in awhile.... I'm just promising you this blog will have other stuff on it too! I'm also trying to not let stories about wild children take over as well (even though that is the only other thing really going on in my life) because I know most of the time they're probably "had to be there" stories anyways.

I do want you to know that I now have another blog that I share with my wonderful husband. YES, it does HAPPEN to be connected to our business website, but so what?! We've decided to make it a fun one that lets our customers feel like they get to know the real us! So now, if I disappear here for a length of time, you can know that I'm probably hanging out over there. I mean why wouldn't I? That one sort of pays me to be there. I do this crap for free here! Anyways, you can look at it by going to www.radiantphotographyaz.com and going to the "Radiant Life" (new blog name) page. Ha ha, you thought I was going to give you a direct link to the blog, huh! Not so, sucka.... you have to go through our pictures to get there. How's that for sneaky advertising! This blog will still be more fun, because you know... I have to be somewhat professional over there. This is the place where you will get to hear the dirt about all the bridezillas I battle and all the cake toppers I rescue from impending doom. J/K, I will do my best to not gossip about poor girls who are stressed to the brim with all kinds of pressure building on them. Unless they're really mean to me....

Finally, actually, all the way.... finished!

OK so our new website is finally done........... um....... NOW!

Sorry for those of you who caught the "preview" before it was finished, I made my post about it a little prematurely! If you saw it before... you should see it now!

Big Biz news + some fun stuff

Alright, I know it's been awhile since I've written. That's because I've been writing CONSTANTLY for the last few weeks! But for.... another blog (gasp!)!! Not only that, I had 2 fifteen page papers due within a couple of weeks of each other. But even with all that, most of my writing skillz have been used for our new business endeavor. And along with that, I should tell you that our business endeavor is not even what you think it is (things change quickly in my world, I guess).

I know, I know, I announced we are going to now be called "Reflect Photographers". But alas, we decided to change the name we had just acquired! So now, for real, for real, we are going to be called Radiant Photography. We had about 2 days to completely design a website, facebook page, business cards, pricing sheets, and so much more! I think we are almost done (and I'm at least done with all the writing stuff. Seriously this involved staying up until 2, 4, or 6am on a regular basis (notice its 12 am as I speak) . I'm so sleep deprived, I'm not even sure if I'm speaking English. So, you know, just a casual hint, that maybe... you know.... if you feel like it. You might want to... I don't know.... go appreciate my hard work (notice the links!)!!

Umm.... let me think of something to tell you that's not related to business (hard since that's been our obsession lately).... Okay, I've got one....

On election day, a little 5 year old in our complex (keep in mind, he probably doesn't even know how to spell his own name) came up to Scottie and said, "Hey Scottie! Do you know who's gonna be the next President? I do! It's gonna be Rock Obama!" Scottie asked if that was who he voted for at school and received an automatic affirmative reply. Scottie told him that he voted for John McCain and the kid said, "I knowsed you did". Scottie (trying to stifle a laugh) asked how he knew. The kid replied, "cause you're white! The news said that white people voted for John McCain and black people voted for Rock Obama!" And they continued their political conversation about the candidates various positions, until the kid decided it was time for them to play the Disney Sorry game.
So funny.
