Say cheese :)

Well I guess I have left my blog viewers in suspense long enough...

And to answer a few peoples questions, NO I am NOT pregnant...but I do have a new baby-a Nikon D3000! Yes, that's right---a camera. But not just any camera, the one that will help me reach a dream I have had for a very long time. In June I plan on launching my own photography business---True Light Photography! You may be wondering about the name---let me explain. Even though Christina Volpe Photography has a nice ring to it, I do not want to be the center of this new business. The Lord has brought me this far in achieving my dream and I don't want to lose focus now. I don't have that much confidence in my own talent but I know that with Christ I can do all things (Phil 4:13). I pray that His hands will be in every aspect of this new business and that True Light will just be one more outlet for me to share the love of Jesus. So, when you are dedicating a business to the work of the Lord what better place to look for a name than in the Bible. During a Bible study a few years ago the Lord showed me this name through several scriptures, but by far my favorite one is 1 John 2:8: "...because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.".

Thank you to everyone that has been such an encouragement to me during this new endeavor. And a special thank you to two great photographers, Jennifer Adams and Anna Weaver, who have been a great help to this little amateur:)

I am working on a new blog for True Light. I know, right? Just what I need--another blog to spend my already stretched time on. I am actually in the middle of working on becoming a better manager of my time, which means I have to learn to let go of those horrible procrastination tendencies that I inherited from my mom:) The new blog is not ready for viewing yet, but I will let you know when it is.

Please keep TL and myself in your prayers...oh, and don't forget to contact me when you are ready for a portrait session:)

The Dacing Queen...

These were taken in April at Cheyenne's first dance recital.

This was her cheering section of about 25+ people...of which included ALL of Cheyenne's grannies---even the two from Fla!

After several failed attempts to upload the video of her performance...I have given up. But you can still see it if you would like. I have successfully uploaded the video on my Facebook page. I did not include the link because you will not be able to open it unless you are logged in to Facebook on your account. If you do not have a Facebook account...GET ONE!!! It is just one more way for you to keep up with the Volpe 4!

Keep checking the blog...BIG announcement is comming soon!

I know I have been a slacker on updating the blog, but that is all about to change!!

Stay tuned:)

Beach Bums...

After Easter we had the opportunity to slip down to Florida and spend some time with our families...and a few days at the beach!!!

The first few days of vacation were spent at St. George Island with the Bednareks( my dad, step-mom and brother).

These may be two mountain kiddos, but they are beach lovers to the core...just like their momma!

For the rest of our trip we headed inland to visit with Bryan's family, my mom and the rest of our Florida family and friends.

We had a great trip and are always thankful when the Lord blesses us with time to visit our loved ones! Next Fla trip is planned for Thanksgiving. In the mean time Hotel Volpe has vacancy for anyone looking for a little R&R in the mountains...summers here are beautiful!!

Easter

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Matt. 28:5-6

Keeping up with the Volpes!

I finally have a few moments to pay some much needed attention to our blog. So the next few post (that are way over due) are to share with blog viewers our busy month of April...which included Easter, Fla vacation, Cheyenne's dance recital and a visit from the Fla grannies!

No excuse for blog slackin' now!!!

My Easter gift from my sweetie. Thank you, baby!
