Moving home....

Well, in case you haven't heard it already, Chris and I are moving home. Not planning it for a couple of months, unless we get jobs before then, lol.

We've loved it here in Texas, and this is a really hard decision. Especially for me, since I was the one that wanted to move here the most. It's got it's disadvantages, don't get me wrong...being away from family and friends is rough. Especially last year as sick as Glen got and we couldn't come home. I've missed all of Brianna's ballgames and this past year Bri has really grown and I've missed out. She's graduating on May 13th!!

Chris' family has really missed him and I know they'll be glad that he'll be back home where he belongs.

It will be really strange moving back into our little trailer after being in our huge, gorgeous house!! That's going to be the biggest adjustment...that and food delivery! LOL!!

It's sad too. We've both made some friends here and we'll miss them. I'll miss Rudy's cream corn (i'll have to find a recipe)and having a camera store that's not 2 hrs away!! But we've missed Johnny's pizza, Boiled Shrimp, Canes and Icees!! Yes, Icees are VERY hard to find in Texas.

We'll both be looking for jobs, so if anyone knows of anything, please let us know!! The company I used to work for doesn't have any openings right now, but that may change before we move..ya never know....

One thing I am excited about is my photography business. It's been really hard to get things going here because I only work with a bunch of men who don't bother to tell their wives anything, lol. Other than the people we work with, the friends I've made are other photographers! lol No work coming in there!! HAHA
At least back home, I have alot of contacts to help restart me! I've already talked to MaryAnn in Homer about putting up some brochures and stuff in her shop to get me started in that area. I'd love to focus on the Seniors in the Homer/Haynesville area!! And of course I know people in Farmerville and around Monroe that can spread the word! My work has really improved since I left and I can't wait to get started again!!

As soon as we get home, I plan to have some Limited Edition sessions scheduled. Fairies, Gone Fishing, Diva Dolls, Grandma's attic, and lots more! When the fall gets here, I'll start the Christmas Angels and Winterwonderland Sessions up. I'll have to find a place to hold them, since I won't have a studio after we move. Hopefully I can get enough business going that I can rent a little place downtown. I know I can't do it full time, but having a studio in town would allow me to hold sessions in the evening after work and on weekends without having to move my equipment.

That's it for now...I'll keep everyone posted on the move!
