Yup, today is my birthday! And what better way to celebrate than by dipping everything in melted cheese and melted chocolate! That’s right, Jojo is taking me out to the Melting Pot. No pictures to post just yet, I want to wait and post all the delicious food pictures we’re going to take at dinner!
Since it’s somewhat of a milestone birthday, I suppose I should reflect back on my twenties and welcome a brand new decade of experiences in my life. I had so many fun, crazy, and memorable experiences the past 10 years. College blew by so quickly…so many new friends came into my life that have made a huge impact on me…so many amazing learning experiences. Just as college is about to end, as I’m dragging my feet and delaying its end, I reconnect with Jojo after 3 years of no contact….instantaneously we combust…absolute connection…picked up right where we left off. Suffice it to say, Jojo is my partner, my rock, my motivation, my compass, the balance to my impulsive spontaneity, the logic to my raw emotion, the Vulcan to my Klingon, my equal in mind and soul, my laughter and joy, my light in the dark. I am not whole without him. There was do doubt in my mind that he was the one, the one with whom I could envision my entire life’s journey, with all its wonders and hardships. Oops, tangent! Where was I?
Oh, career life is kind of a blur…my life is seriously not about any 9-5 job I’ve ever had…which is why I skip directly to 1 year ago today. June 17, 2008, the day I turned 29, was the day we officially announced the start of our wedding photography business, Felici Photography. Here’s our very first blog post. It’s really cool looking back on that statement: “I’m looking forward to June 17, 2009 to see how far we can take this (and to celebrate the big 30)!” Now that this day is here, and I think about how far we’ve taken this business, I feel overwhelmed with happiness. We could not be luckier to have the success we’ve had for our first year in wedding photography. We’ve both worked very hard, and to see the results thus far is amazing. All I can say at this point, is that I am looking forward to June 17, 2010 to see how much farther we can take this! LOL! I have even higher hopes, bigger dreams and expectations, and so much more I want to learn. I can hardly wait!
