Enjoying the Rest of 2013 and a New Job!

I've been out of pocket for many months.  Summer turned into Fall and I found myself with a new job.  I went from being a Systems Engineer at my old job to an MIS Manager at my new one.  My old job was stagnant.  The contract had ended and I was floating around the company supporting Contracts (boring!) and supporting other contracts by doing some graphics support.

I was biding my time doing what I could do to keep busy.  I could only do so much before I became bored.  Another company was showing interest in my skills and experience....basically, the ability to wear many hats.

After two interviews I finally landed a new job.  I'm now a wearer of many hats just like in my previous job, but more fun and many more challenges!  One of my skills being used is photography!


The first six weeks I wore my graphics support/printing production hat.  I extensively used PhotoShop and had to quickly build on my Illustrator skills and learn new things on the fly.  A great way to learn Illustrator...try and apply.

After Thanksgiving, I had the opportunity to travel to Orlando and provide support for a trade show booth we had.  Then we hit Disney!  We started out at Epcot:

We managed to get to Magic Kingdom in the late afternoon:

The Castle at Magic Kingdom!

I had a great time at Disney.  It was my first time there.  I know, it took me over 50 years to get there. Hey, it was fun to be a kid again!

Where Have I Been?

I can't believe I've been away for so long.  Close to three months?  That's ridiculous!  Sorry about that.  I have a lot of catching up to do.

In January, hubby and I went on an island adventure and visited the Eastern Caribbean.  February brought some minor health issues.  I also signed up for an online class in Design Concepts.  This month, I had an opportunity to take senior portraits for a friend's son.  In the month of April, I have a wedding photo shoot that I'm looking forward to.

I will be back with additional posts.  In the meantime, here are some pictures from our pre-cruise stay in Fort Lauderdale:
