Life has been so crazy busy on this end that I am so tired when the day comes to an end that it actually helps with missing Tom. But now I am wishing for a little more "spare time" so that I can get all done that I want to do before we move. I want to get most of my work part done so that I can visit with friends and go shoot a load of photos before I head out west.
Tom's life has been crazy busy too. It's that all new corporate world. Every minute is filled! I miss our "friendship" conversations. Being in different time zones adds to the difficulty of any lengthy conversation. By the time he is fee to chat I am ready to settle into bed. And so it goes...
Next week he has to fly to Arkansas for 2-3 days.
I am having a friends and family photography show on Saturday from 4-7PM so if anyone wants to stop by please do. Just e-mail me and I'll give you directions.

Sailboat Reflection
WELCOME
Welcome to my blog about our new adventures about moving from sub-tropical coastal South Carolina (Charleston) to a city in the Sonoran Desert (Tucson). My first struggle is to learn to spell Tucson correctly as I tend to want to switch the c and the s!
Just a brief history of each city first:
Charleston (formerly Charles Town) was founded in 1670 and moved to its present location in 1680 by English settlers. Charleston was a focal point for the American Revolution (1176-1785) and was seized and was under British control through 1782. it was also the first state to secede from the Union and the first shot of the American Civil War was fired here on to Fort Sumter where the Union army was holed up. It is city filled with history and has been beautifully preserved. It is continually voted as one of the best cities to visit and the friendliest people.
Tucson, Arizona is located about 120 miles southeast of Phoenix and 60 miles north of the Mexican border. The Spanish colonizers tried to seize the land from the local Native tribes in the 1770's, It was officailly founded by the Irish exporer Hugh O'Connor in 1775 and is one of the oldest cities in the United States.Tucson is considered one of the "Mega-Trend" cities of the 21st century. It has the beauty of the Sonaran desert as well as being surrounded by five mountain ranges. It is also considered a very "artsy" area which is good for me. It is a huge area for photography and hopefully, will make me grow and push myself further in that field.
Tom will be working at Raytheon Missile Defense Systems. He will doing speechwriting and other executive communications duties.
We are looking forward to all of our opportunities and hope you will check back with my blog from time to time to see how "jen's journey" is proceeding.

About Me
- Charleston SC to Tucson
- Charleston, SC, United States
- I always had a love of photography but did nothing seriously with it until I went to school for a year and received a photography certificate. Since then I have been doing art shows, exhibitions, and displays. I have been fortunate enough to earn many ribbons and awards as well as being published in a coffee table book. I love black and white photography but also shoot in color. Many of my photographs can be found at Charleston Artist Guild Gallery as well as Charleston Crafts Gallery, both of which are located in downtown Charleston. Most of my photographs have "focused" on the Southeast with an empahsis in the Charleston are but I look forward to sharing some of my work as we move out to the Southwest.
