Determined!

I have this goal (more like a dream that must happen) that I've declared for myself within the next 3 t0 5 years (I won't say because it is still in the making and I don't know who all is reading this - talk about a life shifting idea). I've always wanted to reach this "goal" but new I would have to pace myself and inch towards it slowly. I was always okay with that but lately I can't think of anything else. It's driving me crazy. And, because I can't stop thinking about it, I have decided to shorten my "inching along" time frame and MAKE IT HAPPEN! So, basically, I need as much will power and prayers as I can get. I am determined to do this "thing" :o)


for now,

Our Kitties!

Keith and I adopted Vito from The Greater Birmingham Humane Society (such an amazing place - I really encourage adoptions - pet stores selling pets for profit should be outlawed). He has been the best cat. He's actually like a dog, which suits me just fine (I grew up with dachshunds). He loves playng with sticks. Once he gets it from you he'll drag it under the porch to hide.













"Geraldine or Geri": My mom and Dad recently called me in a panic. Dad had rescued this little kitten outside their house. It had fallen down into the retaining wall (separating their house from their neighbor). So, I went over there and fell in love. The vet checked her out and she appeared to be extremely healthy - about 2-3 weeks old.And so.... we decided to keep her! Now she's about 4-5 weeks old and has doubled in size. She's so adorable :o) One of my favorite TV shows is the British comedy "The Vicar of Dibley". The Vicar's name is Geraldine Grainger - such a great character.

... and there was... blog.



Ok, so I decided I needed a blog. Mainly to post pictures and links and all that mumbo jumbo for my family and friends to see. I get tired of using facebook for everything. And so... here we go...

November 3rd, 2007, I married the love of my life, Keith Brandenburg. We met at Samford University where I earned my degree in Graphic Design and he earned his degree in Instrumental Music Education (he is continuing his grad studies (still at SU) in Church Music and Music Education).

Currently, I work for Passport, Inc. (a non-profit, non-denominational missions based youth and kids camp), as a graphic designer, while balancing freelance designing (I hope to go completely freelance one day). Keith teaches k-8 elementary music and middle school band at Brighton.

We have an adorable condo right across the street from Homewood Park and have two wonderful cats. Vito (as in the Godfather; 8 months) and Geraldine "Geri" (as in The Vicar of Dibley; approx: 5 weeks-I'll explain her story soon). Our families are healthy and happy. Life is good. That's all I can say right now.
