Wait.... Summer is over??
It cant be after Labor Day...school just let out a few weeks ago & It was just 4th of July like last week... Where did the summer go? I am already booking photo sessions for Oct & Nov.... WOW!
I figured since I was in here dorking around with colors & layouts I better post before grandma calls me to see if I am ok or if I drowned in the ocean... Oh did I mention we went to the BEACH...?? We just returned from vacation. We went to Williamsburg Va(& to Va Beach for a day!)
It was great just like any time I spend with John. I have the best-est husband ever. I love him more & more every day. Not just because he lets me buy $165 Coach purses when we are on vacation, but just 'cuz he is awesome! :) I love him.
We had a great trip. We were so smart about this trip I am so proud of us. We saved cash starting back in April when we started planning this trip so we had spending money. We used or recently paid off timeshare so our "hotel" was paid for. John is a genius & got our rental on priceline so we got a smokin' deal! Then we upgraded once we got there(for no extra fee may I add!) Our airline tickets paid for, because our last big trip(Seattle/Canada this time last year) we were bumped on one of our flights so we were given vouchers on Delta.
Our groceries(since we stayed in the timeshare we had a full kitchen) we purchased with our normal grocery money for the week & our eating out money was provided from Visa, a gift card that is! :) I get reward points for my visa. I havent cashed them in for a LONG time so I had enough to get a $75 Visa gift card... more spending money! Then when we got to the resort the offered us $100 in Visa gift cards to go listen to their sales pitch( 90 minutes of them trying their darndest to pressure you into buying MORE) we said NO but still got the $100!!!! Re- read that...WE SAID NO! Dave Ramsey you read that again! Dave Ramsey you read the whole blog again! We KICKED Cheetah butt on this trip!(thats a Dave Ramsey term for those who are not following the budget!) We deserve two pats on the back for doing so good & not bringing a load of debt home!
Ok so I put a tiny little bit of that super cute coach bag on the discover card($40). But lets discuss the Coach bag & get it out of the way! Its is terribly cute. You have to admit! Its a Maddie bad, its brown with a pink lining! HeLLo C>U>T>E!
I asked permission, i agreed to put all my blow money toward paying it off (for the rest of my life it feels like!) Its a $310 bag, it was on sale, then I got 40% off.. I got it for $176 after taxes. Really it was a smokin' deal! Because I am pretty serious about the DR debt reduction plan I did go back in to the Coach store to look for a bag that was as cute but maybe cheaper after John said it was ok to spend $165(before taxes). I figured if I was allowed to spend $165 he would be estatic if I only spent $145??? Didnt happen.. sorry babe!
Now lets move on from the coach purse...
Photo business is rockin'! I love it I cant wait until the day I can stay home & do this for real. I had a great session with our friends the Prekels this weekend we went to Westport. Funky little part of KC that I have never ventured out to. They love their pictures & that makes me super happy! I have done lots of sessions since my last blog post, it has been a MONTH since I posted anything... UGH where does my time go!?!?
I dont have vacation pictures loaded yet... I have a few on my flickr page but none on my computer(I used Johns laptop from the hotel/airport).
However, I have been saving images from several months. I have a new website coming soon! VERY SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I worked on it all weekend & personally I think its fanastic! I love it! Thanks to a flickr friend Amanda for creating a funky fresh logo & Many friends(& their families) for posing for photos!
