To my wonderful husband & I!!!! Yesterday we celebrated our 9 year anniversary. Whooohooooo we’ve almost been married a decade 
Let me say though it hasn’t been all peaches n’ creme. I think the first couple years are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard!!!!! If only you all new what we’ve been through, but I can say that it has made our marriage stronger & we as a couple have grown so much closer together. When my hubby reads this he’ll say yeah..we have boxing matches..haha..well pretty much our only argument is over finances! Well what married couple doesn’t argue over finances. I can not STAND finances..when the topic comes up my skin just crawls & my heart starts beating fast. I almost have a heart attack. The other day I was talking to my sister-in-law about it…she can calm me down…help me see realization.
My husband is actually the best husband on the planet…I know alot of you are saying..NO MY HUSBAND is…well MY HUSBAND is..hahahaha! I know I’m not an easy person to live with because my patience….well it’s pretty much non existant. Yip..I have NONE! He puts up with a lot from me & right now I am taking this time to tell him….THANK YOU! THANK YOU for ALWAYS being there for me. You are my everything. Without you I’m pretty sure my world would not exist.
Tonight we are going to dinner & a movie. We don’t get alot of date nights together & so I’m way excited about tonight!!!!!
I have to say one of my new goals for 2009 is to post more on my blog about ME, MY LIFE, MY FAMILY. I have LOTS & LOTS of readers & I really only talk about my clients. That may get boring to some, so I decided to start writing/posting more about who I am. It’s pretty sad cause I don’t take a lot of pictures of my kids, my life, my husband, my family, our trips…NOTHING really cause I just work too much & I don’t want to take the time to take pictures & then not do anything with them. Well hopefully this year that will change! We’ll see how it goes
Here is a few pics of my attempt to take some family pics while we were in Colorado celebrating Christmas. I do have lots of just snap shots of our trip sledding, ice fishing, x-mas, etc…but I still haven’t downloaded those pics yet..haha..see…I slack on my family!!!! My sister-in-law is always on me so I better hurry & get goin on these!!!!
I am bummed though because I bought my nieces these funky cute outfits for our ‘picture day’ together & well…that day STUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we didn’t get to do what I wanted to do. The wind was blowing MAUCH ONE & it was FREEZING……so does FREEZING WIND & CHILDREN mix??? UM….heck NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They cry, they don’t cooperate, they get mad…THEN what happens to mom when the volcano errupts???? YEAH we get mad too…hahahahaha! Oh well…guess I’ll just have to go to Texas to re-do their shoot where the weather is warmer & we won’t have a freezing wind chill!!!!!

I loved hearing about YOU and YOUR family:) I think its a great idea to be more personalized on your blog! I do love your work, but its also fun to get to know the person behind the lens and the master mind of the beautiful work:) Here’s a little push to keep it up:)
Alisha.. I love this post! I love the pics of the family.. I’m sure Bob & Corrine will LOVE these!! Have a great time with Michael on your date.. no fighting
Love you guys!!
what a great looking family.. although.. how is it you all produce children with no hands.. ????
sheesh.. like it was cold or something.
alisha.. the girls wore these tops to school yesterday, and sammy proudly announced that her aunt alisha bought them for her, and clay appreciated you buying them matching shirts.. making it easy for him to dress the girls while laura was gone. LOL
Ok I am leaving some blog luv! Congrats on your wedding anniversary!!! My husband and I just celebrated our 20 years anniversary this past Tuesday (no I am not old we just got married really young!!!!!
…and trust me I know what you mean by the first few years being the hardest!! I love the family pictures, lots of great shots!! Hope you guys have a wonderful night out tonite.
Congrats on your 9 yr anniversary, Alisha! That’s awesome! My hubby and I will also be celebrating the 9 yr mark in 2009! Your sooo right about those first few years…
You have such a gorgeous family, Alisha! Sorry the weather didn’t quite work out for your family session but, the images are beautiful just the same!
I hope that you had a wonderful anniversary!!
Thankfully, finances are one thing that my husband and I don’t really fight about. It was a huge issue at first because I am a tight wad and he spent everything he had but he changed a lot and let me take care of all the finances. Granted, we live in a TINY house right now so with both of us working (me 2 jobs) it’s not as big of a deal. But I have a SERIOUS itch to move, so I’m sure it’ll be an argument in the future.
I’m glad to see you’re trying to post more about your family and stuff. I think it’s fun to read that stuff and see the photographer as well.
Congratulations and what great family photos
