What do you think?

So, I have had a bit more time on my hands lately than normal and I have decided to do a bit of updating to the website.  Just wondering what you think?  I wanted things to feel a bit more cohesive and also to have a simpler feel.  I feel like I am still just hitting the tip of the iceberg when it comes to figuring out how  to design and plan a website.  I would love your feedback and insight!
