You get the best of both worlds . . .

I'm sad to be back at work today. It's never fun coming back to work after a fun, three-day weekend.

As you know, I left on Thursday after work and headed to Fayetteville, NC to see my BFF and her family. I had such a fun time while I was there! I took their family photos and Kaelyn's 1st birthday photos on Friday. Then, later that evening, Amanda, David and I ate dinner at Outback Steakhouse and then me and Amanda went and saw Hannah Montana: The Movie. My idea, not hers! She thought I was a little crazy when I first suggested it, but we were glad we went and saw it afterward. It was so cute and we both loved it! We even went to Wal-Mart afterward to pick up some things and I bought the soundtrack! I'm crazy, I know! I'm just a big kid at heart. Thank you to Amanda and David for having me this weekend for a few days. I had so much fun and can't wait to see y'all again in a few weekends to celebrate Kaelyn's 1st birthday!

J is coaching his nephew's baseball team for the second season and their first game was this past Saturday, so I headed back to SC bright and early on Saturday morning to commence my "Team Mom" duties. HA!!! It was a beautiful day and all of the children did fantastic and seemed to have a great time. After the game, J and I had lunch with his family before I had to head off to a photo shoot at 2pm.

After my 2pm photo shoot, I had a birthday party to shoot at 4pm. It was such a fun birthday party and I was glad to be there to capture all the memories for them. I love that part of job—my photography job, that is. I love that I get to capture memories that they would not normally be able to capture. I love when my clients love their photos. It makes my day.

When I got home, J had the neighborhood guys over to watch the UFC fight. I left them in the living room to perform UFC moves on each other while I changed into my cozy PJs and crawled into bed. It was a busy Saturday to say the least but a fun one nonetheless.

On Sunday, J and I had no "appointments" a/k/a prior commitments and we were able to do some stuff around the house and yard for once in a very long time. I put a sealant on the picnic table Mamaw gave us for Christmas so it wouldn't become weathered and J did lots of yard work. Last night, we went to J's parents' house for a yummy dinner made by my future MIL. She made country fried steak, fried squash, and mashed potatoes . . . and sweet tea to top it all off! It was delicious and was such a fun family night! Thank you, Ms. Nancy, for making such a yummy dinner for all of us! We can't wait to do it again!

It was a busy, but fun weekend for us! With the weather getting nicer and nicer, I can't wait for our pool to be ready so I can start sun tanning and we can start having pool parties. That's next on our to-do list!

Hope you had a great weekend!
