It has been awhile...

Sorry...I haven't been on this blog to update.  It has been one crazy year so far.  I still can't believe it is August already.  Wasn't it January? Time sure is flying by.
What have I been up to since the last time I was on this blog...Well...let's see.
My oldest daughter, Alexia is 7 years old now and my youngest, Devine is now 9 months old.
Alexia is going into 2nd grade next month and she is really excited to go back to school (just like her Mama).
Devine is crawling, standing up, and getting into everything.  She also got her first teeth last month (found out while nursing...LOL)
Yes...I'm still proudly breastfeeding.  =)  Knock on wood...the best part about breast feeding is the fact how strong my immune system is right now and how my youngest has not gotten sick.  She is one healthy baby.
Hubby has had a rough year...but everything is finally working out for him and later this year, he should have some good news with his company.  (I'll keep you updated on that one)
I'm taking online classes with UMUC.  I decided to change my major to Computers & Network Security (since I worked in the field for 10 years and I'm able to fix a computer without anyone's help). My minor of course is English.  (I still want to write my own romance novels one day)

Oh...and let me not forget about the amazing Book Blog that my partner in crime, Anna and I created back in February.  Let's just say we are well known in the romance book atmosphere.  =)  We have the job of reading advance reading copies of books and reviewing them on our blog.  We also are apart of 30+ Street Teams, where we help promote authors and their books.  It's AH-MAZING!!!
I feel like I'm in a dream.  I'm doing something I really LOVE.

Just FYI...my photography business is on hold at the moment until I graduate college.  It took me awhile to decide on it...because photography is still a passion of mine...but I couldn't handle college, being a stay at home mom (who by the way is a soccer/ballet mommy), all at the same time.
I just couldn't devote the time to edit photos like I wanted because of my college courses taking most of my time.
I still plan going back to the business when I'm able to...but as of right now...my main website is shutdown (to save money) and my Facebook business page is unpublished.

For right now though...my time is family, college, reading books, and keeping up with the book blog (which I'm on daily)

So that's it in a nutshell...

I promise to update more often...at least when I can.

XOXO,
FranJessca

P.S.  I'm heading to 3 book conventions next year to meet some of the Authors I read for and promote.  (I can't wait!!!)  Let me not forget...publishers, designers, etc.
