Fabulous Friday

I've been a total slacker on my blog. I've been really busy with the little one as she seriously won't let me put her down for longer than a minute. But, I wanted to link up with Laura for Fabulous Friday!

My little girl.

Seriously, she's just too flippin cute. She's extremely attached to me and has taken up to crying when someone other than me holds her at night when she's tired. I can't lie. It makes me feel special. She loves me! She really loves me! hahaha

Photography.

After like a 10 year hiatus, I've picked up my camera again for more than just quick daily snapshots. I still miss old school photography but I've been having fun on photoshop. Sometimes it makes me feel like an idiot and then I figure something out and I feel like a genius. I'm testing the waters with starting a photography business here. I just found out I'd have to get a German business license. Is it sad that that makes me rethink this whole thing? I'm lazy. My newborn of a photography website is here.

Etsy.

Etsy, you are the second most evil website in the universe. Right after Amazon. Evil, but still fabulous. What's even more fabulous is that me and K just ordered a ton of supplies to start our very own Etsy shop. Stay tuned for progress on that!

Starbucks.

Would you believe that there is not a single Starbucks near me? Like seriously, not even within 30-45 minutes from me. Yeah, I get it. We're in Europe and they take their coffee seriously. But you know what? I love my Starbucks. I'm in Stuttgart right now and in just a little bit, I am going to go to Starbucks!!! I can't tell you how exciting this is. Mmmmmm YUMMY!

Clean dogs.

The dogs got baths the other day. FINALLY. Now, I don't feel dirty petting them. Yeah, it had been that long. I'm a bad mommy to my furry children! That is usually daddy's job so... yeah.

Isabella's Godmother.

She made me Korean food last night! We are visiting for almost a week and I can't tell you how nice it is to eat great food... without having to cook it! She's got a whole menu planned for us while we're here. And she's making my favorite cupcakes! She makes me want to rethink polygamy. You know, except she'd also have to get her own husband. I'm not a sharer. I just want cupcakes everyday.

Okay, time for me to get ready to enjoy some Starbucks. Go link up with Laura!

Photography Blog

First things first, Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful momma's and momma's to be out there!

I had my first photoshoot for my portfolio yesterday. Kerry agreed to model for me and got some great shots to send to her husband who is currently deployed with Chris. I have a ton of great shots to edit and I'm so excited!

I've created a blog for my adventure into professional photography. I hope you guys follow along on this journey with me! I'm really hoping that this works out because I have always loved photography and would like to make this a new career. And hey, this will actually force me to upload pictures and stop being lazy!

Check me out at Christina Beckett Photography.

I thought I would combine me and Chris' first names since he is my biggest supporter. Sweet no? There is a link to my photography blog on the right somewhere as well.

I could use all the support I can get! I still wake up every morning completely nervous and doubting myself about this new venture.

I have to thank my daughter for giving me a reason to get off my butt and pursue this. My first Mother's day is amazing because of her. We miss Christopher but I love that she is my teammate and partner and crime during this deployment. I hope you all have a great Mother's day and those around you thank and cherish you for all that you do!
