So I wanted to pre-blog a few GOOD THINGS before I left!

1. Random, last minute road trips with college roommates… this is going to be so much fun!

2. Cute, Totally Unnecessary water bottles: I bought a teal water bottle only because it was cute. Target got the best of me. I bought it because it was teal and I thought “It’s so pretty, I’ll definitely drink more water if I owned that”.  That was a lie….but it really is cute though… and it’s definitely worthy of a “Good Things” title.

3. Our Mattress: It’s SO comfortable. I’ve NEVER experienced a GOOD mattress until we bought this one. It’s a Sleep-to-Live mattress and we would recommend it to anyone!

4. Saying “No”: Ok, this one is hard for me. I’ve learned the hard way that saying “no” to things and not over committing my life is the best way to live. I spent YEARS saying “YES” to everyone who asked me to do something. I’m a people pleaser and I was SO afraid of letting people down that I sacrificed my own happiness in or to make others happy. I can’t do everything and I have to accept that. So, with that being said, I am completely booked for the rest of 2011. In order to give the rest of my 2011 clients the attention they deserve and make sure I have enough time for 2012 couple’s e-sessions, I’m not accepting any more portraits besides those that I have previously booked.  I’m also doing this so that I can have time to plan a workshop and make some business changes and enjoy life with my husband and family. Saying “No” is so hard for me but it’s most definitely a GOOD THING!

Have a fabulous weekend!!
