I am going to be redesigning this website as more of an expanded “about me” page than a blog. I need a central, professional place for myself, especially my writing. I am currently starting up a blog covering topics like frugality and homesteading. Posts that were on this website will be moved to my personal blog, probably sometime this month. And I seem to have given up on internet anonymity.

What I’m Working On Now:

• Separating and re-branding my web development and hosting from my main LLC, and then marketing to local companies. The LLC will “own” the blogs as well as the re-branded company.
• Editting my NaNoWriMo novel.
• Starting the above mentioned blog.
• Starting a story blog that will give me an excuse to do historical research, as well as keep me writing. I’m doing this one for fun, its like a low-paced NaNoWriMo – I want to write consistently, but I’m not concerned with perfection.
• (Hopefully) going to college to get a business degree.
• That’s just my professional life!

Expect to see changes on this website around the beginning of this year.

This is Ember. She is 3 or 4 in this picture (taken March 2003). Five turbulent years later she is still a great dog. There isn’t much better than growing older with man’s best friend.

Mary Kate at Baby, Toddler and Beyond asked the question Where were you four years ago and where would you like to be four years from now? What a great way to look forward past our to do lists.

Four Years Ago I was had just had my second son, David (on February 11, 2004). Its true when people say adjusting to having two children is as hard as adjusting to having the first. I don’t even remember it being a leap year!

Four Years from Now I want my business to take off and provide real income. My husband should have his college degree. I also hope to buy a house and adopt a daughter within the next four years. My boys will be between 9 and 5.

My martial arts instructor was telling us a few months ago that we tend to focus to much on “What I can do this year” and to little on “What can I do in five years”. So what were you doing in 2004, and where do you want to be in 2012?
