Well, hello!

I hope y'all had a fabulous weekend and are having a great week so far! My weekend was C-R-A-Z-Y!

Friday night, J and I went to dinner with our travel agent and her husband. They were in Charleston for the weekend for a mini-vacay so we decided to meet up. I'm so glad we did. We had a wonderful time at dinner and it was so great to finally meet in person. Dinner was yummy and the company was even better! Friday night was the most only relaxing part of my weekend.

Saturday morning, J and I woke up and headed out to the ball field hell for the last little league game of the season. It was SO hot out there - hence the hell part. If you've never been to South Carolina during the summer, you have no idea what you're missing! After the game, we went to lunch with J's mom and nephew and then headed back home. We had Morgan, Grady, Ryan, and Coop over to our pool for a bit before I had to leave for a 3:30 family shoot. After the shoot, J and I went out to his aunt and uncle's house for his cousin's graduation party. Congratulations, Austin, on graduating and your accomplishments!

If you thought my Saturday was busy, you're sadly mistaken. Sunday was even busier! I woke up and headed out to shoot some photos our friends' children. It was a great morning and we had a fun time hanging out at The Battery. Afterward, I grabbed a bite to eat and headed to Waterfront Park for another family shoot scheduled for noon. Once I was done with that shoot, I ran home, met my sister here, grabbed our bags, and headed out the door for Myrtle Beach to shoot family photos and rehearsal pictures for the wedding. It was a busy Sunday, indeed. When we finally ate dinner and got settled into the hotel room, I was OUT for the night! I was so tired, I don't even remember falling asleep. Sister says we were in mid-sentence when I crashed, but I don't remember a thing . . .

Monday came quickly . . . perhaps too quickly. It was a day off from my regular, full-time, weekday job, but it was not a day off by any means. I now know why wedding photographers get paid so much. The amount of work that is put into photographing a wedding is INSANE. You have no idea until you do it yourself . . . I know I didn't! The wedding went well and everything went smoothly. It was a great first wedding shoot and I cannot wait to start editing the photos and see how they turned out. But until then, I have something like 2,000 photos to edit . . . HOLY SHIT! Just the thought of all the photos I have to edit makes me sweat a little.

Did I mention I did another family shoot today (which adds another 300+ pictures to the 2,000 I already have to edit), I have a brief shoot tomorrow afternoon, a shoot Saturday morning, my cousin's graduation and graduation party Saturday afternoon, a shoot Sunday morning, and my first bridal shower Sunday afternoon . . . when will I ever find the time?! Anyone want to hook a sista up with some good pills? I'll gladly accept anything at this point . . . HA! I kid, I kid!

Not sure how long you have had a new look to your page, but I love it and I'm sorry I'm so behind!

I'm not sure how you found the time to blog in that busy schedule!! Wow, it made me tired just reading, but I know you'll pull it off!

Good luck :-)

BTW- did you see how we blew it in that baseball game against ECU on Monday? I was TOTALLY pissed off after watching Gametracker for 4 hours!
