Slacker?

I have been just awful at posting on this blog lately, but life has been truly crazy! Between spending as much time with Johnathan as possible now that he is home, outings with my Little Sister, my new job - which has me much busier during the day - all of the daily sturm and drang of life and my new business venture, I rarely even have time to think about this blog, much less write a post proof-read it 5 times, post it, proof read it a couple more times, edit it because I'm just not satisfied, repost it and then sit and think about it it for another half hour...yes that is usually my process when I blog.

But what I want to talk about today is the new business venture mentioned above. Whatever loyal readers I have may remember my post back in December about doing a photo shoot for a coworker. Well, things have really been progressing since then and I am now officially Constance Elyse Photography! You can also check out my Facebook Fan Page here. I have not yet decided if I want to start including personal blogs over there or keep things separate and try to be more active over here.

For now, here is a picture of Alivia in the bluebonnets. They are moving back to Texas in July and I absolutely cannot wait to have them close again!

The Past Month In Photos

I was leaving for New York the next day, so on the 13th Johnathan sent me an edible arrangement instead of flowers that would wither and die in my absence. It was delicious and thoughtful and enjoyed by me and my coworkers.

For Valentines Day, I had a date with my three favorite ladies (Mom, Erin and Alivia) to see Sesame Street Live: Elmo Makes Music.

Alivia was very excited when she saw her favorite giant furry friends on the stage!

Just had to throw in this adorable shot in her Valentine's outfit. She'd torn open a box of candy conversation hearts and was sitting on the floor trying to scoop them up before they got taken away.

Then we headed to Massachusetts. We found a really good restaurant near our hotel for sushi. Yum!

Alivia enjoyed the edamame.

How cute is she in her snow suit and boots?

We went tubing the first day. Don't worry, mom did not take out any small children in the process.

Erin and I skied, while Mom and Alivia spent the days shopping.

Love the slopes!

Unfortunately, while we were in Massachusetts, mom's beloved dog, Karma, got out and was hit by a car. It was a devastating ending to a fun trip and we'll all continue to miss her terribly.

Isn't my sister beautiful?

The day after I got back to Texas Johnathan came home for good! We've just been spending as much time as possible together.

Also, I turned 24. Laura brought this delicious red velvet Keller cake.

All-in-all, it has been an awesome month!

Slow Moving Vehicle

I have got a TON of catching up to do with all that has been going on in the past few weeks, but that is not going to happen tonight, so I'm posting a random picture I took this weekend. Enjoy!

You Can Flick Your Friends

I joined Flickr! My photostream is small at the moment, but I'll keep adding. I highly encourage you to check it out regularly and comment on my pictures. I LOVE feedback!

Good Time Had by All!

I have always been amazed by the sky. I cannot see a sunrise, sunset or interesting cloud formation without taking a moment or two to stare in awe of the beauty in our world.

I was at Johnathan's parents' house this afternoon and when I turned out of their driveway I was confronted with a glorious site. Fortunately, I did remember my camera today and I may have stopped the car in the middle of the road and hopped out to snap a picture.

It's things like this that make me realize how tiny I am and remember that my creator's vision for my life and the world is infinitely better than mine.
