Back at It!

What an extremely busy winter it has been! Updates:

• Holly Days was a successful event - it was great to meet new clients and network with other "in-home" businesses.
• Next week, I travel with some of my students to NYC where we'll meet with interior & fashion designers, seeing Mary Poppins on Broadway, shopping in Chinatown, and visiting Mood Fabric Store! I'll post pics soon!
• Jake and I are applying for a 10 year India visa this week in hopes to take more missions trips there!  We just have fallen in love with those people who are so full of poverty and hopelessness.  Jake recently got back from Hyderabad where they shared the gospel, met with pastors, and spent time with those sweet orphans! We'll be traveling in June with a group of 20 highschoolers and 10 adult leaders to Hyderabad to do concert outreaches and neighborhood/backyard bible clubs for the kids!  God is doing huge things in our life through visiting India AND huge things in the lives of people there!
• I'm going to be an aunt!  Katie Taylor, my fabulous sister-in-law, is pregnant!  This news received around Christmas was so fun to hear! She's due in early September - I'm dying to know what sex that sweet little baby is!
• Plans are full in force for my sister's wedding!  My bridesmaid dress is great!

All of this to say - it's been a busy winter! I'm ready and able to tackle some new organization projects and decorating gigs - so please pass on the word to family and friends!  A good portion of my proceeds from any organization or decorating gigs will go straight to sending us to India in June!
