January was busy, but refreshing. The busyness came from house projects, store designs, shooting blog posts, the New York International Gift Fair and everyday life stuff. The refreshing part happened in Jamaica! T.J. and I had the privilege of shooting Karl + Kristen's wedding in Jamaica, where we stayed for six days... relaxing, reading good books and quite literally doing nothing. It was awesome. We really needed some down time and Jamaica was the perfect fix. It made me realize how important it is to take time to relax and refresh. I came back from our trip inspired and focused, ready to take on 2012 with all I've got. - Brooke

 

January went by in a flash.  It's a slower month for us so I spent a lot of time thinking, writing and praying about the upcoming year.  Brooke and I shot a wedding in Jamacia and spent some extra time their for a little rest and relaxation.  It had been a while since I unplugged from technology and it was much needed.  It gave me time to really focus on the year ahead and what actually matters.  I want this year to be focused on doing my best in every avenue of life and January was a really great month for refocusing on those things. - T.J.

 

As the new year is well underway, there aren't many things to go on about. I'm enjoying the off-season, working hard at all the work that IS on my table and trying to prepare myself with what I believe will be the best year ever! It'd be really hard to explain the giddiness and butterflies that I have about all that 2012 might bring to me. Now I'm ready for Spring to come as soon as possible! - Jeff

 

 

This month rocked. It was one of those months that every day, I was constantly moving and doing something. And when I wasn't, I was watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix. In January, I participated in two awesome music festivals, Counties and Districts. And as if I didn't have enough music to learn, we started rehearsal for our musical, Crazy For You! It's a lot of work, but it's exciting seeing it all come together. Between work, music, youth group, shooting a wedding with Jeff, midterms (gross), and just the general craziness of life, I feel good that this month has ended. I definitely accomplished a lot. And now I'm happy February is here. I love seeing stores put out their super cute decor and heart shaped candy. And obviously, walk in love's sweet displays and photos. Happy February! - Maddie
