Early Morning Tuesday!

Gooooooood morning! (It's technically morning, but I SHOULD be saying goodnight!)
I feel like I haven't been writing as much as I normally do - but things are just a little bit busy at the moment, so I guess here's a little bit of an update.

We now have TWO bunnies, count them....

There are 2! #1 is Pocket, which you probably know already. And #2 is Hershey. Pocket is a girl. Hershey is a boy. They are both fixed, so you don't need to tell me how rabbits multiply. Pocket has been much more happy since we got Hershey, however Hershey is VERY skiddish and sometimes I wonder if he is EVER going to like us. :/ I know he likes us, but it's discouraging when he has days were he's SO afraid of everything that if I move a piece of paper he gets startled. Hopefully he'll grow out of it - he just needs a lot of patience.

Other than that, we're just work work workin' away. A is continuing to work hard on building up his clientell here and it's working. He still has a lot of business from his groupons and he's getting return customers along with lots of nice things being said about him on the groupon webiste! Woohoo!  I have been hired on for 2 fashion shows coming up. One is being put on by Angelic Magazine and the other one is being put on by Us Entertainment. I am super excited to be apart of both! I've also been able to work on quite a few brides and models and just launched my monthly newsletter (sign up here!) along with a revamped website (check it out here) ...revamped because I accidently deleted the whole thing, launched a mobile site, which is still kind of a work in progress (check it here), and launched my business blog ( www.makeupbysc.blogspot.com). And all of this with the WONDERFUL support of my amazing, awesome, godly gift of a husband!. 

Other than that, I think everything is pretty much the same - I think we have both agreed that we need to find something else to get involved in so we can meet people; it's been especially hard on me lately feeling like we still don't really know anyone and there's really not anyone I can call up and say "hey let's go do lunch" or "let's go walk around the mall" or "come on over!". I trust that God will provide, I think I've just been super homesick lately.

Hope you're all doing well!
Loves to y'all! <3

Anyways - I have decided to start a second blog with little updates and what nots with my makeup artistry business so check it out----> here!

Photo Shoot, Homecoming & Hockey oh my!!

     Wowza what a glam-tastic day! We (the Hubster & I) started off this morning with a calendar photoshoot - thumbs up for publication! It was great and went smoothly. The model, Selena, is fantastic - I heart her :) she's so much fun, tons of sweetness, and funny. This is my second opportunity to work with her (the first being the Balloon Couture photoshoot with Marie Dadows creations -- which are pretty amazing!) and the first time A got to work with her. I gotta say it's a lot of fun being able to work with the Hubster - I do enjoy that a bunch!  The shoot took about 3.5 hours I believe and went very smoothly. From there we went home, sanitized the equipment, relaxed a bit then headed off for another gig for a high school junior's homecoming. She, too, was very sweet and beautiful and her dress was rockin'! I would have loved to have worn something like hers to a dance when I was in highschool. It was white and kind of lacy on top with a black skirt and some embellishment between the different fabrics. It was stunning!   And then from there we hustled our way to the last preseason Hockey game for the AZ Coyotes - fun factoid: Hockey is one of the only sports I really enjoy watching- it's wonderful in person and actually entertaining via the television box as well! I got my first experience in a "luxury suite" at a hockey game thanks to a friend out here and they beat their rivals (the San Jose Sharks) who had been undeafeted their entire pre-season. We got there a smidge late (but fashionably, of course) and only when we got there did they start scoring. Obviously, Hubster & I are their goodluck charm and so therefore, the Coyotes should just buy us season tickets. [[ehh, it was worth a shot!]] And now to conclude this wonderfully busy day - I am off to go sanitize all my equipment for tomorrow in which I am doing the make up for a fashion show in Phoenix. 

I cannot fully express how thankful to God I am for all these opportunities - I know they are only available to me because of Him and it is such confirmation that moving out here was a good thing. I also have a couple more clients booked out for this month. In 1 month God has so abundantly blessed me with more jobs than I got in 6 months in CA. How AMAZING is that!?

Sweeet dreams lovelies!
