Someone you're going to want to check out. (Seriously!)

One of my very best friends has just launched a Facebook page showcasing her amazing photography skills. She has an incredible eye for the beauty in the world that most people overlook. More than anything else she captures the world in a way that no one else does. If you don't believe me, please visit and "Like" Hallie Duesenberg Photography on Facebook to find out.

Here's to another year!

I just spent the most wonderful New Year's Eve in Frankenmuth, MI celebrating the marriage of my cousin Ryan to his beautiful wife Alissa. It was definitely the most fun I've had at a wedding thus far.

I've been feeling incredibly nostalgic all day (typical) and I am really looking forward to what 2012 has in store. If it's anything like 2011, it's going to be a great year.

Much love to you and yours!
