What's the haps???

Wow.... what in the world ~  for it being summer time, I'm kind of blown away with how busy life has
been the past few months...

The Happenings the Highlights.....
July 2011

August 2011
1.) Social Grace Studios snapped some crazy cute photos of Miss Kendall Tuttle (Tony and Jacquie's lil one).  It was the girlyest of photo sessions ever, when you see the photos you'll know how happy Jacquie is to finally have her lil girl after having her two rough and tumble lil boys.
3.) JUSTIN GRADUATED!  Holy cow, it was quite an emotional rollercoaster, but it happened, it really happened. We had an amazing weekend with our family and dear friends.

What's on the Horizon....
1.) Justin has to take the boards in the near future, so my house has felt like after school dentention for the past 30 plus days.  This is the last mountain he has to climb before he can start practicing as a Doctor of Physical Therapy..... .. I love my husband with all my heart, but I'm SOOOO ready for his schooling to be OVER.
2.) Thankfully, following this big monster of an exam we'll be flying away to Cabo for 7 days of paradise, we've been looking forward to this time for many many years in the making. 
3.) My little Stinks turns 21!! I can't believe it!! 

My Wheels are Turning About......

1.) "J.Starr Stylized Weddings"... after many discussions with my boss at Superstition Springs, we've come up with a beautiful plan and partnership idea for my company.  All the pieces are finally starting to come together, I'm so excited!  I'll be sure and blog in detail about this soon~ I've learned such an important lesson through this process..... You only live once, chase after your dreams...even if you can't figure out how to make them happen, just keep plugging.... the pathway will work itself out, but don't be afraid to take the first step... I'm really happy, appreciative, and thankful for where I'm at in my life right now professionally ~ I surrounded by happy, positive people...who are aware of my passions, my strengths, and my weaknesses... I have a lot of work ahead...but I'm so darn excited...I feel like I'm riding a carnival ride through the journey. 

2.) I've been working really hard at few my top 101s....and not the easiest of goals, the timely ones....but I'm glad that they're being put into action.

3.) Our 9th Annual Halloween Party....Yahoo!!  Date, Time, Location, DJ, and Theme of all been selected!!  Invites going out soon, SAVE the DATE: Friday October 21st, 2011.

Recent Things I think are Just Plain Cool....

1.)  My smartphone, yeah  I know it's not like the "newest" thing..but wow... that little device can pull my world together so quickly... and hello the Navigation Feature is a life saver!

2.) Venti Ice Waters from Starbucks, they're free and I feel cool drinking them

3.) The Valley Ho, that place is fun....the dj spinning poolside makes you feel like a spring breaker on mtv
4.) The movie..."The Fighter" (it's on netflicks right now) best movie I've seen in awhile

5.) Our upgraded Pandora....no commercials...good stuff

6.) Speaking of music I'm so loving Robin Thicke....he has some sexy, saucy jams... it's really good "getting ready for work music"
