Is everyone else enjoying the beautiful weather we’ve had in February? I don’t want to jinx it, but this really hasn’t been a bad winter… like I actually don’t mind winter if it stays in the 40’s and 50’s. I’ve been enjoying the weather all month long! Ben and I actually went to the New York Botanical Gardens on Sunday to see the orchid show and enjoy the weather. I went home to Pittsburgh for my best friend’s baby shower at the beginning of February and actually got to go on a walk around the neighborhood with the family puppies and my mom and sisters because it was so nice. Plus while we were visiting Ben’s family for his birthday and our niece’s birthday it was in the 60’s!

Oh I really hope this beautiful weather continues through March! I vote no snow storms! : ) Getting outside really helps me focus and get work done when I come back inside. Hopefully it’ll help me focus and get some of my goals for March done:

• Business Goals:
  • I edited so many pictures in February! Now I just want to catch up on my 2015 pictures that I 2nd shot for other photographers. I’d like to use some of them in my portfolio so I’m just slowly editing every day and will hopefully have them done by the end of the month.
  • Website and SEO updates still haven’t happened. I decided to wait until all my editing from 2015 is done so I can do the updates and SEO all at once.
  • I’ve been getting all the wedding album designing done. I’m hoping to be all caught up by the end of the month and have all the albums ordered! I really love designing the albums for my couples and I also love seeing the images in print!
• Personal Goals:
  • My Health – I’m still not allowed to lift more than 10 pounds, but I had a checkup with the surgeon three weeks ago and everything is healing really well. I got to see the x-ray of the plastic/titanium disc they put in and it’s pretty sweet looking (it’s in the image above). I have my 6 week check up this Friday, it’s crazy that it’s already been 6 weeks!
  • Since the weather has been nicer I’ve been trying to make myself get out of the apartment more. I’m really hoping to start walking around our neighborhood again this month.
  • Since Ben and I are going to actually be in New York for a couple weekends and not traveling I’m hoping to get some of my personal images edited on the weekends. I really love taking pictures for myself, but the problem is it takes me so long to getting around to editing them!
• Fun Goals:
  • Easter is at the end of the month so I want to dye some Easter eggs and make some Easter sugar cookies : )
  • My mom got me some watercolor paint for Christmas and I’d like to use it!

Here’s to more warm weather in March!
