Today is my birthday and it’s been absolutely delightful. I’ve been showered with love from friends and family. At the end of the day, I feel quite blessed by all the joy in my life.
I’m feeling kind of stunted when it comes to writing something about my birthday. Let’s take, for starters, the photo I’m posting. No, it was not my finger that actually pressed the shutter button, but it was my camera and I picked the settings. (Thanks for the shot goes to my sister-in-law Kristin.) While it’s perfectly fitting, even requested (uh, thanks, Haley) to post a shot of yourself on your own birthday, it still feels a bit awkward. But, hello world!, this is the writer and photographer behind the scenes, and today I’m 32.
I am updating the blog today on the coolest birthday present anyone could ask for:
I have two things to say about this new laptop: 1) A million thank you’s go out to my husband who listens to me, supports me and loves me and 2) Bring on the freelance work! If you’re looking for a writer or need some work done on a photography project, let me know.
The icing on the [birthday cake] was that it snowed today. I loved it. Thanks, God, for the beauty of this season.

Beautiful (you, not the laptop . . . well, that’s beautiful in its own way but not what I meant).
Happy birthday, dear friend. I’m so thankful to be sharing this life with you. I love you.

What kind of writing do you do? And I do need some assistance with a photography project…we need to talk! :-)
Rebecca Dec 8, 2009 9:03 PM
We can definitely talk, Sarah! I’ll shoot you an email now.
For the record, I’m currently writing copy for a marketing company and I’m submitting personal essays when possible.
