Greatest Hits of 2010

Well, another year has come and gone! Like last year, here are my most memorable moments from 2010. Ready?

January

• We celebrated Romeo's first birthday! He sure made us proud when we took him downtown to the doggie "Barkery Bistro" for some treats and a new toy. While inside the store, he managed to potty 3 times and poo once in the matter of 10 minutes. I was so embarrassed. 
• I was rear-ended by some dude, on my way to pick up a client. I ended up with one, crazy (and embarrassing) story during the process of having my bumper replaced. 

February

• I did makeup for a Redbook Magazine photo shoot. After all the excitement and anticipation, the article was never published. Total bummer.
• Our 'Wedding Story' was featured in Belle Magazine!
