(less than) 3 more months to go!!

Let me tell ya... running a small business, training for a marathon and planning a wedding all at the same time is no joke.  Since I have wedding on the brain, here's something cute that I found on theKnot.com.  I think they're reading my mind...  you just might see something similar at our wedding in August :)



Last weekend, Paul had his end of season (ultimate frisbee) tournament.  I dropped by for a little while - it was way too hot for me to stay the whole day... I managed to get this photo of Paul doing what he does best...

First post

It's been a while since I've had a personal blog.  I thought I'd start it up again and see how it goes :)  I guess my thought process is that this way I'll be able to organize my thoughts and share interesting/cool things that I happen to find. 

Recently, I've had more things to do than I can possibly seem to handle.  So I've decided to take a step back and re-evaluate my goals and try to streamline everything that I'm trying to accomplish.  Inspired by Esther, I'm making my rest of this year list and my 30 before 30 list --

This year: 
1. Get married... and stay sane through the process
2. Have a flash application almost ready to bring to market
3. Continue to grow dotdot studios
4. Run a marathon with Team In Training on Oct 18.  
5. Visit two new places/cities (Hawaii: Aug 14-23, San Francisco: Oct 16-21) 
6. Start taking ballroom dance classes

30 before 30: 
1. Get married
2. Have a product on the market
3. Swim with dolphins
4. Visit Taiwan
5. Learn the Viennese waltz
6. Explore Alaska and go dog-sledding
7. Learn to hula dance in Hawaii
8. Skydive
9. Drink wine in Napa Valley
10. Start my own company
11. Volunteer abroad for a month
12. Go to the Grand Canyon
13. See Rome
14. Roadtrip around New England
15. Go to Ireland
16. Be interviewed for a major publication
17. Get certified to scuba dive
18. Learn to paint well
19. Compete in a Pro-Am ballroom competition
20. Learn to cook gourmet meals
21. Run the Peachtree Road Race
22. Buy a house (with Paul, of course)
23. Go horseback riding on the beach
24. Go on a missions trip abroad
25. Learn how to garden
26. Have a kick-ass office (building) for my company
27. Have both Paul and I work at dotdot studios full-time
28. Tour China
29. Go on a safari in Africa
30. Hold a manufactured version of a product that I've designed 

Whew, that was a long list!  That was a nice break - back to work now :)
