April 11th marked my and Dusty's ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! We celebrated by going to Charleston, SC and exploring the downtown area, taking a ghost tour (no we did not see any ghosts...unfortunately), and eating yummy food. Overall I loved Charleston but I found the people to be very rude and the drivers to be INSANE. Dewey's gave us a free 6 inch cake for the occasion which was very yummy. I will not go into the complete chaos that was our hotel experience but just know I will not be staying at, and will never recommend the Best Western Plus Airport Inn and Suites in North Charleston. We also opened our letter box from the wedding where our guests wrote us notes of advice and such and found some really sweet, some really funny and some really inappropriate notes (you know who you are!) and then read our letters to each other that we sealed inside during our ceremony and cried like babies. I am so blessed to be married to such a wonderful man!
While on our trip we bought ourself a present...a new DSLR Camera! Dusty will use it for photos and Ghost Hunting and I will use it for photos and the start of my photography business D. Snow Photography! I will be honest, I'm still very amateur but anyone who knows me knows I have been interested in photography for a LONG time! I am not going to charge anything at first as I am still taking some photography courses and working on my skill but I am hoping to eventually have it as a side business to help save for family vacations, Christmas/Birthday gifts, a new car eventually, down payment for a house and date nights! I hope it will also let me save toward the prize of the weight loss challenge Dusty and I will start together tomorrow! If you want to support me feel free to like my facebook page (www.facebook.com/dsnowphotos) and if you need/want some pictures let me take them and feel free to recommend me around!
MORE on this weight loss challenge! Dusty and I have decided to challenge ourselves to loose weight. Recently our place of business had a challenge but when so many people are participating I just loose motivation because I know I wont win. Our challenge is a little different because there wont be other people winning there is just one awesome prize we will be hoping to earn! Here's how it is going down:
Goal: Loose a total of 100 pounds. This means that it doesn't matter if I loose 70 and Dusty looses 30 or if Dusty looses 90 and I loose 10, once we hit a total of 100 pounds lost we win our challenge!
Timeframe: However long it takes us to accomplish this, There is no deadline so no reason to give up because we are close to the end and we don't feel like it is possible.
Prize: If we accomplish this goal, our prize will be a CRUISE! We will be saving towards this goal since no one is going to HAND us a cruise just for meeting our weight loss goal.
To update you on everything else, Dusty recently got a promotion at work to LEAD Guest Services Representative (because he is awesome!), Noah and Oliver are growing like weeds! Oliver is working hard on his first word, he spends all day going Dadadadadadadada and backwards waving at people.
Anywho... I hope you all are having a wonderful day!
