new blog

hey, i know i have sort of stopped updating this blog... i've been really busy with photography from the holiday season (yay!), and lately i've been thinking... "i should change my blog..."

i mean, i update my facebook status just about every 25 minutes, and i post 24,987 photos a month on there, so it's starting to feel redundant to do a blog with a lot of the same stuff. AND, i now have a 'kerry guice photography' blog, so i have my pro work on that. there may be 1 or 2 people who follow this blog who don't have a facebook account, so you should get one to keep up with photos and my random tidbits! :)

i'm going to move my blog in a different direction. which direction? i have a few ideas... i may actually do 2 blogs. one called "dear violet" where i write about our daily life together- "my perspective" of her growing up. think of it as me writing her diary... sort of. i thought about writing a book with that idea, but i'll start with a blog and see how i do (i guess i'll have to switch it to a book though, once she turns 13 or so and threatens to kill me if i don't stop telling the world her business...). haha! i want her to read it when she grows up and read my perspective of all her 'firsts' as a baby, all the way up to our arguments as a teenager, how i felt when she went to prom, etc... i think it'd be soooo interesting to read about how my mom was feeling as i went through each stage of my life- it would make me understand her as a person so much more! (not that i don't already, but you know what i mean...) and to see her side of arguments we had when i was a teenager, i'd probably be on the phone everyday now saying, "you were right, i'm sorry..." hahahah! maybe that'll happen with violet. ...no? ah well, i can dream... :)

the other will be a food blog. that'll be a big project, where i post my recipes and photos... i've been meaning to do that for a while... it's going to take a lot of patience and time to do that, but i think i'm ready to try! i don't know the name of that one yet.

and both will have little tidbits here and there about what's going on with me and brian, of course. :)

i'm starting to get the hang of being a mom and learning to juggle other things in my life, and i'm so grateful for brian- to know that we're moving in the right direction as a family for me to really get back into (or MORE into) the things i'm so passionate about (writing, photography, food, and last but most important, violet). :) i think my life will be more fulfilling when i can REALLY immerse myself in all the things that make me happy- talk about a dream! NOT to say that my life isn't fulfilling now, though- i honestly feel guilty for how good i have it! but to have it get even better??? now that's just crazy! ;) my photography goal is to eventually get up to 2 weddings a month, or 20-25 weddings a year. so far this year i have 6 weddings booked, so i'm slowly but surely working my way to meeting that goal in less than 5 years, i hope.

i'll send an email out when i change the address of this blog. if it's available, it'll be http://dearviolet@blogspot.com.

any suggestions for a name for the food blog???
