I am thankful

I have a ton to be thankful for this year, so I'm bringing back the theme from my Thanksgiving post from last year and sharing a pictorial with a few of the things I'm thankful for. First and foremost, I'm thankful that I'm so lucky to wake up and roll out of bed to head 10 feet to work right here. I'm loving the freedom and fun of freelancing and the fact that I get to collaborate with some wonderful people keeping journalism alive and well in the 49th state.

I'm thankful I got the awesome opportunity to redesign a newspaper and take over as the visual editor as a huge part of my freelance business. I'm so excited to be a part of the Cordova team. That town loves it's local newspaper.

I am thankful that my husband got the awesome opportunity to get back into sommelier work. Not only for the plethora of wine on our wine rack, but to see him excelling in a field he's passionate about. He's be networking the Anchorage wine community for about 5 minutes and already we can't walk into a wine bar or fine-dining restaurant without a personal greeting from another sommelier or restaurant manager.

I'm thankful for my sweet little family for their love and support, even when I make them stand knee deep in snow and sweaters on a 15-degree day for Christmas card portraits!

I'm thankful for this lady, Meghan, for believing in me. Hiring me to shoot my first wedding and for starting Entrepreneur Alaska with me. We are having a blast with this project.

I'm thankful for this young man who brings so much joy, love, music and laughter to my home.
