Big Changes in 2010

It has been a long while since I have posted a blog, but my new year's resolution is to be more committed to blogging about our amazing life!  For those of you who don't know, Jason and I are ENGAGED! :)  We are super excited to get married on June 26, 2010 and have started planning the wedding, slowly but surely.  I am getting ready for Semester #2 of grad school, and we will be buying a house here in the next few months.  I will be linking this blog to http://www.jasonandvanessasmith.com/, as soon as my new check card comes in the mail, so you will have a different address but same sweet blog!  Our business website is up and running, although it isn't completed, but you can check it out at http://www.bownanzabows.com/.  Last but not least I will have one more blog going on, and it is currently linked to http://www.timerwentoff.blogspot.com/, and will soon be moving to http://www.timerwentoff.com/.  This will be the link to find recipes, catering information, and more stories about the trials and tribulations that occur in my kitchen. :)  Thanks for supporting my blog this year, and look forward to bigger and better blogging this year!  I want to be a mommy blogger when I grow up! :)
