Today, I paid the last payment on our debt. We have no loans, no credit card balances. I have been in debt for almost half my life. To say this is a happy day is an understatement. I’ve been trying not to cry for a while.

To also realize that as of right now, I’m 2/3 of the way to making what I made last year in my business….To further realize that I have 9 weddings in 2013, the most I’ve ever had in one year, and know that I will more than likely still book more…

To know that my husband is willing to sacrifice so much that I can pursue my photography career….From moving in with my parents, to working 5 jobs, to telling me the things I NEED to hear about my business and not the things I WANT to hear.

Well, I’m completely undone.

Thank you to all of you who have supported me, whether through being my client, sharing hard advice, encouraging me when I’m down or just being an ear.

This isn’t an easy career (despite what some may think) but I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🙂

Since I can’t really take a picture of the $0.00 on things….I figured I’d share a few pictures that capture how we’re feeling right now…
