TASK 1# COMPLETED!!!

Wow...it's been awhile since I have posted on here.
This year has been crazy and awesome.
Ariana turned one in March. She is such a doll. She gets cuter every day, I'm sure of it.
She has a few words she really likes to say and thanks to Grandma Lori, a few more in sign language.

Jobwise everything is the same as last time I posted here.

People like to ask me how I am and I always feel so ackward because I never know what to say. I am still doing the same thing. We are healthy. We usually all get along. It's all good. I feel like when people ask me that they are somehow waiting for some great revelation of something I have achieved or discovered and all I can say is "we're doing fine..."

I love summer! Ahh! It just makes me happy inside.
Warm days. Sunshine. Storms. Vacations. Fair. Burlington Iowa. Vagabond activities. Alias. Walks. Jeep rides. Spending time with family and friends. It's been a great Summer so far and I am looking forward to the rest of it.

This weekend we are heading out for our first family vacation! YAY!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, now for the reason of my post title. Some of you have been kind of enough to listen while I explain my rough 16 year life "plan" (LW). For those who haven't...I gave my myself 16 years to accomplish 16 tasks that I would really like to do. Within those tasks are a list of smaller tasks which must all be completed to call the task finished.
I started this last year, so the first task was to be done by October 1st of this year. Now if my task is finished early it doesn't me I get a break or that this will be shorter than 16 years. No matter how fast I do some of them some will take much longer so gaining time for them by finishing the earlier tasks before the deadline is ideal.

They will probably sound strange and possibly silly to the random one reading this but to me they are stepping stones.

So...TASK 1# CS5 PHOTOSHOP
The requirements for this one were:

• 2 jars (another story altogether) completed check!
• Purchase and reimburse Photoshop CS5 check!
• 1st portfolio completed and paid for check!
• 3 weddings/shoots/gigs I am in charge of/paid for check! check! check!

I also had to have a general grasp of Photoshop (I gave myself the period of  6 tasks to have perfected it)

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!
Ok, I did give myself a little break, just from now until we are back from vacation.
In honor of this I will put some pictures I did during this task.

Next TASK 2# SCRAP SEWING....
