Also....Biz Update

When Chris and I went to do the "walk-thru" for the upcoming Bridal Fair we're showcasing at this coming Sunday, we met this amazing guy named Neil who is a DJ for weddings and actually did videography for weddings about 10 years for 15 years! He was so nice and has already put a link to our website on his AND he sent out an email to all of his brides that he's booked for 2009 to check our website out if they're interested in a good videographer. So, Chris is meeting today with one of those brides about a wedding in 11 months!
Will keep you posted! Thanks so much for caring and for all the prayers! We love you all so very much!

Mom's Visit

Mom got to come visit me for the first time since Nov of 2007 for almost 5 full days. We had a blast together, as always! We did our usual-eat, chill, movies, shop-so I don't have too many pics to share, but what I did take is after this post.
To explain the pics-we went to On the Border with Chris' parents one night cuz poor mom can't get decent Mexican food in Arkansas. Mimi bought her grand dog a "baby," and as usual, Jasmine thoroughly enjoyed ripping it to shreds. We like to say that "it is snowing" when she does that, which is quit often! :) AND Mimi bought Jazzy a new bed, too, which she LOVED and sleeps on all the time now! :)
Overall, it was a great trip, and hopefully, it won't be another 14 months before we do it again.

VDay & More

Well, I just had to brag on my husband and his VDay surprises. On Friday, I walked in to roses, a sweet card, a clean house AND a much-needed new camera! yea! Then, we went out to eat at Chili's. Pictures follow....you'll also see Jasmine's VDay present and the SNOW that we woke up to on Saturday, ACTUAL Valentin'es Day! Hope all of you had a great and special day, too!

Also, was just going to update you on our business progress...we have our first Bridal Fair on March 1st in a small town nearby called Johnstown, so please be praying that it goes well, that we learn from it and that we get the word out there because of the extra exposure. We're also meeting with a friend of ours today to get some insight into the best and most affordable ways to market the business. Just keeping you posted.....
XOXO

Meeting

Just wanted to thank everyone for praying about Chris' meeting last week with Matt, one of my company's VP's. Matt is a GREAT guy, and not only did he seem very interested in using Chris for some upcoming video projects, but he also started his own business when he was our age and had some great advice and said he'd love to help in any way he could.
Other than that, we're just getting the "office" (which was formally known as our dining room)settled and in order, and Chris will start getting out in the coming weeks and going to different places and dropping off his cards and such. So, please be praying for all of that, as well.
LOVE U and appreciate you all VERY MUCH!

Up & Running

Ok people, the website is officially up and running. So use the link below (in my last post) to check it out. Now, just a forewarning that this is pretty "rough" right now, but we wanted to get something up as soon as possible. But any constructive criticism or ideas you can give me, please, please feel free to be honest and let me know!!!
Also, Chris is busy getting all of his equipment ordered and handing out business cards left and right, so hopefully stuff will start coming out of all of that. Also, if you could please pray for his meeting tomorrow with one of the VP's here at my company, they might start using him for some of their freelance stuff as well. Will keep ya posted! Love you all!!!
