It’s funny how many times a business’ name, logo, & branding can change. Look at Coca-cola! How many times have they changed their can, logo, & slogans? Yet people have always known them as “Coke”. “2Duce2″ was always so confusing & so hard for people to remember. We’ve been called “Duce2Duce2″, “The Duces”, “The Browns”, & many more names; but we just wanted to be known as one name. Like Coco-cola, we’re adjusting to our crowd & our intention is to give you all the best experience from simply “Eugene + Heather”. So keep an eye out, because pretty soon you’ll be seeing our “+” all over the place!

On this new fan page you’ll be able to view our newest videos, find links to our newest blogs, & see what new things we have going on! We’re excited to be known as just “Eugene + Heather” & we’re super excited for what this new year has in store for us!

Obviously, we don’t have any children yet, but we feel like we’ve experienced (secondhand) what it’s like to have a baby. We’ve been with Josh & Amber throughout this entire journey of getting baby Reuben here! Last spring we remember sitting on Josh & Amber’s back porch when they told us “We want to have baby #2.”… then (it seems like the next week) Josh called us one morning & said “Hey guys, baby #2 is on its way!”

I’m sure there are many of you who have personally experienced your own child being born or even someone you know, but this was totally new to me! I’ve always known that I would one day have children, but this has definitely moved me over the threshold of wanting children!

Once it was time for Amber to get down to business and have her baby, I couldn’t move next to her head fast enough:) I didn’t’ wanna see anything that would scar me for life:) It was amazing how quick everything happened next. It was like first there wasn’t a baby and I blinked and there was another lil Ulmer crying like crazy:)

I think one of the coolest things about this experience was seeing how supportive Josh was to Amber during the whole thing. He really upped the bar for when Heather and I have a kid!

Shooting this huge moment in Josh and Amber’s life was for real one of the coolest things I think we’ve had a chance to shoot! I’ll be honest…because of them, I really want to have a kid now.

Sticky notes should probably come with an instruction manual so you don’t end up like this guy. Until that happens, we’ve found an app that does “wunders” for you Apple users. It’s appropriately named “Wunderlist” & can be found in your app store. It’s compatible with Imacs, Iphones, Ipads…. anything “I”

With Wunderlist, you can create a to do list & each task can be assigned a date to be completed by. Once you’ve completed a task, you simply click done & the task moves to a “Done” section. Then, within the “Done” section, you can view when your tasks were completed (ie. “Done Recently”, “Done Yesterday”, & so on.)

We’ve even heard of people using Wunderlist for their work out routines. So, brides & grooms, if you’re trying to knock out your work out routine to get that awesome wedding day body, this is for you! However you need to use it, it’s there for you Wunderlist has personally helped us with every day tasks, & now all we use sticky notes for is to write little notes to each other.

This year we’ve decided that we want to have a plan for everything! We spent a few hours going over “Things We Rocked at in 2011″ & “Things We Need To Rock at Harder at in 2012″ & came up with a long list for both. You always hear people say “Things can always be improved on”… & that’s exactly what we want to do. Always improve.

One of the things we definitely want to improve on is blogging. Last year we blogged pretty often, but then we also had our patches of not blogging. We’ve made a decision to come up with a plan every month of what we want to blog, then do it!

Keeping in mind what events we have ahead of us, we planned out all of January’s blogs. We even wrote them out on our calendar, just to keep us accountable… & there are many ways to keep yourself accountable, but we’ve found the best way for us is to just write things down.

At the end of January, once again, we’ll sit down & plan out all of February’s blogs… we want to be fair to you guys! It’s our goal for you all to know that you can come to our blog to catch up on things we’ve been doing, watch our newest short films, & of course see what things we have coming in the future …call it a New Year’s resolution if you will. This year we plan on rocking harder at blogging… & you all have our permission to call us out if we don’t!

[Always Improving.]
