First Halloween and Promotion Pays Off


Faith had her first Halloween and in a word it was AWESOME!! I think that we may have enjoyed it a bit more than her, but it was so cool to experience this first holiday with her. She dressed up as a ladybug and in my humble opinion was the cutest I've ever seen. She was a good sport and kept her costume on never complaining in typical Faith fashion. We did take her around to a few of the neighbor's houses and that was fun to show her off. It was a good way to meet some of our neighbors too seeing as we've been in this house for six years now! Having a baby around makes you appreciate a holiday so much more--it's so much about her now and we get to really embrace each and every moment.


It was another great family weekend! I swear we make the most out of weekends now and as I've said before appreciate just spending time with each other. Faith makes us grateful for everything! I am also grateful as I found that I did get a new freelance job that I had to write an article for to kind of try out. I was one of the writers selected and hopefully the assignments will start coming soon. I guess that promoting myself is finally starting to pay off! I also got a GREAT review from a client I've been working with and that will serve me very well as every other client I bid on sees that. I think that some assignments come to us for a very distinct reason and this one has been full of great lessons and good work. Sure I'm still writing about model boats, but that's just money to go towards Christmas shopping.


I will keep this short as Sarah is coming to visit soon, it's always so awesome to have her in town from Atlanta. It's great to have the girls see each other as Ella is only five months older than Faith. I'm going to try to enjoy today rather than stress about time lost from writing. More soon of course!
