Retirement party....x2

It's been a busy week! Went to the UT retiree party on Tuesday at lunch. Felt kinda strange to be there. I think I was one of the youngest, maybe THE youngest retiree there. Sat with some really nice people.

Yesterday, I went to a retirement party for 4 of my friends from my old job. Felt kinda strange to be there too! Nice to see the ones who were left tho, and a few who don't work there anymore who also went. There were too many friends missing tho.

I'm still loving my "new" job. It's not really new since I've been there since mid-June. I'm still learning and doing new things. Always interesting.

Well, must do last minute getting ready for the Fall Fest booth tomorrow. Packing up framed photos to take, and a bunch of other stuff.

Blessings,
Lori

Busy, busy, busy!!!

I can't believe it's been so long since I posted anything.
Working 30 hours a week and working on our two businesses, photography and parenting classes, keeps me very busy!

Things are falling into place. We had a good meeting yesterday with someone who could possibly help get more people in our parenting classes. That's a great thing for us and for the parents! I hope to get the e-newsletter out this evening, since I don't have any meetings or webinars tonight. If you want to get the newsletter, let me know and I'll add you to the list. It has parenting tips and I only send it out once or twice a month. I could do it every week if I could get a system going and take time to do it. There is lots of good info to pass along.

It's been so long since I posted, I'm sure a lot has happened, but I can't remember what.
I met a lot of people at the Bebe Palooza event last weekend. I would never have imagined some of the neat things the vendors had to sell for babies and families. I decided it would be a good idea to collect all of their brochures and business cards and put them into a resource notebook for parents who take our classes to look through to see if there is something they might want or need.
We keep a resource list of vendors for our Wedding Photography clients, so I figured it would be a good idea for the parents too.

Well, guess I'd better get back to work!
Blessings,
