happy new year!

amber here.  as promised, here is my gushy emotional post about 2009 and what’s coming up in 2010.

i am sitting here at smitten headquarters, in my pjs, writing this blog.  and do you know why that is?  not because it’s a weekend.  it’s because i quit my job!  today is my first day as a full time SMITTEN-er.  i didn’t quit because greta & i were rolling in money, believe me.  2009 has been a blur of growth.  it was smitten’s first full year in business.  we only turned 1 yr. in september.  ONE!  i sit here in disbelief that this has happened.  greta and i didn’t even really know each other!  but it was totally a God idea.  and now here i sit…owning my own business, having a new best friend, and looking proudly over this thing i’m a part of.  smitten is so special to me.  i can’t even process how far we’ve come in so little time.  i look so excitedly and anxiously into the new year.  it’s so full of possibilities and i know it’s going to be a crazy ride.  further establishing smitten as a brand, making workflow and business processes more concrete, stepping up the customer service, growing, trusting God to help pay the bills, and growing as a person.  i don’t think i’ve ever looked at new year with such…renewal.  and hope.  it is really a new year.  a new chapter in life.

to you i say thank you.  thank you so much.  i don’t think we can ever express what your love and support has meant and continues to mean to us.  sometimes i read emails or blog comments and just want to cry.  I AM SO GRATEFUL!  SOOOOO GRATEFUL!

i believe in smitten.  and i’m so excited to leap into this with both feet.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Go Smitten, go Smitten, go, go, go Smitten! I am so happy for you both! I know how hard you work at making Smitten a success…I’m usually twittering my goofy stuff while ya’ll are smlogging, or smediting, so if there is one thing I can guarantee it is that Smitten will kill it in 2010 and beyond! :)

Congrats to you & Greta! You’ve personally taken a huge leap, but one that I know will be rewarding and prosperous. How do I know this? Because I believe in Smitten too & you guys are WAY too talented for anything but tremendous growth in 2010!! Can’t wait to see where this new year takes you guys and of course continue to have Smitten capture memories of my Rigby and our family!
