Tomorrow is my last day working 2 full time jobs!  AHHHHHHHHH!

Yes, that is the sound of fear and excitement (and the beat) at the saaaame time.

For the last year and a half, I've been a graphic designer by day, and a wedding photographer by night/weekends.  In fact, for the last 4 years, though Dara and I have considered ourselves professional wedding photographers, I have always had another job.

So why the switch now?  Well, to keep this brief, it boils down to this: My wife, my daughter, my passion, and my sanity. 

Most everyone thinks I'm nuts for quitting a great paying job in this economy... but actually, I'd be nuts to continue down the road of 80+ hours a week + family time, minus sleep.

I guess I could have listened to my employer, who called photography a "hobby", and hoped I could put it down to focus my efforts on my 'real job'... but, I guess I'm not much of a realist :)

Time to hustle!  or actually.. time to sleep.

WOOHOO!
