Throw it at the wall and see what sticks...

Today I did it.

I took the plunge.

I submitted a final draft of an article I wrote for publication to a local parenting magazine base in New Hampshire.

I'm trying to take on some extra work as a freelance writer for some local magazines, so I got my first article finished and sent off to the editor about five minutes ago. This is really exciting for me, and if they accept it for publication, you all will be the first... 10 to know =) Pay for freelancing isn't great, but it's some extra spending money that would cover a weeks worth of groceries and then some, so it's pretty exciting.

I wrote my article about attending a moms group and the benefits you can reap from going to such a group as a first time parent.

Anyway, that's the big news from here. The family is doing well, John is busy with weddings this fall for some odd reason. Of course, I'm in a wedding this coming Saturday, so I guess it's just a busy fall for weddings this year. John is playing in a different wedding, so my in-laws will be babysitting Hannah for the afternoon on Saturday. Kerry and Dave (my college roommate and her boyfriend of like... 9 years) are getting married (finally!) on Saturday, so it will be a fun time. It will be a tough day for me too, because I will be away from Hannah overnight for the first time, but at least I know she'll be safe at home with her dad for the night.

Speaking of Hannah, I have lots of photos to update!!!
