New year, will it be happy?

Ok so it's been a while since i looked near my blog let alone posted something.  I don't normally do the whole "new year" thing.  To be honest i usually think its a waste of time, still do i guess.  This year though is a bit different for me.  I am rather excited about this year.  I am really interested to see what happens over the next 12 months.  So what has changed?  There are 3 things in particular.  My wife's business, my photography and my faith. 

My wife's business Candytuft Cakes has been officially going for a year now and has been going amazingly well.  I help her all i can with all her photos, website, accounts etc.  For the past month or so she has been getting a new logo designed and is going to get a new website created with the aim to really concentrate on the wedding market.  We have been starting to work with a few other local companies involved in the wedding market too and are planning on taking part in a large wedding show along with Marie Cafolla Flowers.  I am excited for Kathryn as i see her business blossom and cant wait to see how it grows during 2012.

Next is my photography.  I have mentioned it being a passion of mine.  During the past few months i have been thinking about it more and more and wanting to really put an effort into improving and see what where i can go with it.  The most exciting thing so far for 2012 is that i have been asked to do a photo shoot for a local bridal shop in a month or two.  I will update you about how that goes and what new things i learn this year.

Finally is my faith.  This is something really important to me.  During 2011 I got more involved in my church and now have a few leadership roles.  Towards the end of the year had a big effect on me.  I got in touch with a friend i hadn't seen in a while and we happened to both be going in the same direction, having both been fired up by God.  Since that meeting we have been keeping in touch several times a week through text and email sharing what we discover about God each week.  This has been an fantastic experience.  God is amazing.
