2009 wrapup

Posted on 31. Dec, 2009 by Princess Lasertron in photos

I loved 2009.

January: There’s no better way to start a new year than with a rejuvenating, relaxing vacation. Dave and I joined my grandpa, his wife, and some of our other family members for a family vacation in Puerto Vallarta.

January also brought me my first major magazine feature in Brides Local Magazines, which was available in local markets across the country.

February: February was a month for hard work–I loved the interview Polka Dot Bride did with me, and the Omaha City Weekly also ran a great story about my business and growth process. I also worked with so many awesome brides that month!

March: Forensics always takes up most of March! My high school speech kids took second place at our district competition and we took nine kids to state.

April: In April, my studio was photographed for Where Women Create magazine and I met the wonderful editor-in-chief Jo Packham who is one of the coolest ladies I know.

I also went to San Francisco to take Jordan Ferney’s letterpress class and meet Lilia Ahner who did a photoshoot with me (including the picture of me in the sidebar)!

May: Big Omaha! The little conference that could…

We also went to Chicago for the Country Living Women Entrepreneurs conference and our anniversary where we saw Shannel in a drag show and caught a Fischerspooner concert!

June: June was a more relaxing month. I took some time off because May was so strenuous.

July: The best 4th of July party ever, and Professor Lasertron’s family reunion in Mouse River, North Dakota.

August: The opening of Clean Plate at the Empty Room.

September: Well, in September we found out we were pregnant, found our new house, and went to Omaha Fashion Week.

October: Barcamp Omaha, a local tech/creative/entrepreneurial conference went off without a hitch.

I also traveled with my mom to Detroit for the American Sewing Expo, where Joi Mahon won the Passion for Fashion competition (she’s my partner working with me on the 2010 dress line!).

In October I re-launched this website with the help of Downs Design. Aaaand to top off Outstanding October, we moved into our house!

November: We found out about little Alice!

December: I just worked on finishing orders, tying up loose ends, preparing for the holidays and finishing a few media obligations for Spring 2010.

Do a picture recap! You will remember so many awesome things from 2009! If you do one, post it on your blog and share it in the comments.
