Oh my gosh guys, really? It's been over a month since my last blog post? Shameful! Well, hopefully I have a good excuse. I have been super busy! The beginning of July was a whirlwind.
We closed on our new home, hopefully something we'll be in forever. We love it, but it is going to take some work to make it cozy. A few days later I had 2 weddings on my photography schedule. Those will be posted soon, I promise. Danielle & Bryce, and Cathy & Eric were great to work with. Oh yes, and Tommy one of my seniors. Then there is all of the craziness that comes with moving, packing, and getting into a new house. There are always surprises which have to be addressed. The new sprinkler system didn't work, our new (to us) alarm system would randomly beep when nothing was wrong, our water heater and water softener had to be replaced. I held a good old fashioned garage sale with my mom and sister to get rid of all the stuff from the move. My parents dog passed away. He was my childhood dog growing up, he was almost 17 years old! He had been around through the bad hair days of middle school, and my sister getting glasses and losing teeth. That was tough :( Will and I had our wedding anniversary on July 29th which was nice, but since we bought each other this new house, we decided on a low key 5 year celebration, just dinner and some quality time. Quality time has been scarce with all of these changes around here. My husband has proven himself nearly invincible with all of the things he is taking on! He nearly single handedly moved the contents of our house from one place to another. He still gets up at 4:00am every day, and then comes home and works at a second job. He still finds time to organize his improv comedy's new show opening at the Indy Fringe festival next weekend, and to coordinate the Smiley Glee Club. Oh yeah, and he re-plumbed the water softener, mowed the grass, carried lots of heavy stuff up the stairs, assembled all the furniture, installed towel racks and hooks... the list goes on and on. I am so blessed to have him in my life. He puts me to shame with his level of dedication and work ethic. I'm glad that we are doing all of this together. I honestly don't think we've had an empty weekend since sometime in May or June, but luckily we've been together during most of it all. I also have to give a huge shout out to my in-laws. They have come to our aid, helping move boxes, clean house, clear out limbs and weeds, lend us the truck. It's great to be closer to family. I think the craziness has started to subside and I can concentrate more on business... and blogging. Thanks for hanging with me. Check back soon for more posts as I play catch up.
