2nd December

1st December

Like i've said before usually I am a bit of a scrooge around Christmas so each day I have decided to blog something I am grateful for around the Christmas period!
What better way to do it than like an advent calendar so for each day up until Christmas there will be some thing here that I am thankful for.

Starting off with my husband. I won't do this for every post but this past year has probably been one of my worst and with out him and his support I am not sure what I would of done.

I love him to the moon and back.

my photography....

By trade I am actually an estate agent, working towards being a full time photographer. This year (2011) has been my first year of weddings and it was a whole lot of fun, very tiring and very useful! I learnt so much from shooting all my wedding this year and I met some great people. My summer was so busy, I shot at least 2 weddings a month over the summer months as well as working a full time job! Extremely tiring.

Since then I've lost my mojo of taking photos for fun ...boo! I can't remember the last time I took my camera out to take photos for myself and my enjoyment. I must do this more! I also slightly blame instagram and my iphone. Damn you apple.

I have decided for my USA trip that my SLR will not be coming with me, after umming and arring for a loooonggg time about whether to take it I have decided against it due to the fact that we will not be staying in the nicest of hotels, we will be spending a lot of time wondering and my gear is heavy and too valuable to take. I won't enjoy myself as much as I will be too worried where my camera is etc. Although my wonderful mum is buying me a great digital camera to take with us instead :)

Obsessing over: Bruce. My brother's new 7 week old bulldog puppy! He is the cutest but his poo does stink...real bad.

Working on: My friends Christmas present, we don't have much money this year so I thought I would make part of it :)

Thinking about: Christmas, started wrapping my husbands Christmas gifts last night, I have managed just over half a sack so far with more to go... we really spoil each other at Christmas.

Anticipating: America....it's getting closer and closer. There is still quite a bit to organise and get sorted gulp!

Listening to: Now that's what they call Disney. I've just downloaded this album to my phone, it's a little addictive. I like to try and guess what films the songs are from as soon as they start playing.

Drinking: Nothing. I have had some water this morning though. 

Wishing: That today would go nice and quick. Work is boring and dragging and there are much better things I could be doing with my time :)
