A Whole New Year…
Posted on January 1, 2004 by Christine | 126 Comments
It’s a whole new year. With a new year comes new changes. Mike asked the big question last night on New Year’s Eve. I said yes. Then after a nice dinner, we got to share the news with our friends at Michael & Ginger’s party and Kenny & Elaine’s respective parties. I can’t think of a better way to start off 2004!
More details later, and I’ll replace that blurry picture with a better one tonight. For now we’re in downtown checking out the new Light Rail and enjoying some time at Kaveh Kane’s.
Happy New Year! Good-bye 2003!

Hi! I'm Christine. I've been blogging here since 2000. I am married to Mike. I have a son, Jason. We have a cat, Mona. We live in Houston, Texas.
I love helping other photographers and other small business owners improve their businesses. Most of my posts here are related to that, although sometimes I write about personal things as well.
I am currently available for business & blogging consulting and assisting you with WordPress. Contact me for more details.
I am a wedding and boudoir photographer and I'm available both in Houston and for travel worldwide. I would love to be a part of your wedding!
You can buy prints of my photography.
In addition to photography and geek things, I sometimes knit. I even used to have a knitting podcast, PointySticks.
