25 Reasons for Updating My Website’s Design

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Today is my birthday, and I am now 25 years old. I am on the downward spiral into full-fledged adult hood and I am not all that excited. I do love birthdays for the presents and parties, but I haven't been excited about being another year older since my 18th birthday. I waited all my life to be 18, and then it only lasted a year!

New Website

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

I've been playing with new designs for my website since about May of this year, and I have finally found "the one." When I found a good inspiration, I started putting the design down and it all fell together perfectly. My husband looked at the comp I showed him in Photoshop and said, "It's... it's.. it's perfect!" Over the next few weeks I'll be getting all the content written and laid out and I'll get the ...
