doing: nothing. nothing. nothing! until 11.
feeling: better. tired a bit still, but better than i have all week!
listening to: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Ethan and Matt talking.

its 9am and i've been up since 7:30. i didn't sleep nearly long enough. i went to bed close to 11:30 last night. but i wasn't tired. bummer. i like to sleep.

today is our re-start of our weddings. we have about 5 more for the year, one is a double booked day and then we also have the Susan G. Komen Race in October. this month has gone crazy fast and i have a feeling that October will be the same.

the good news is that i finally found my motivation again! i worked hard on wedding albums this week and i have 5 up on the board ready to be printed! Jeff doesn't like that so much, but its good that we have ones that we CAN send! and now i only have a few more left to make and finalize! one big one is Nicole and Brandons, i'm so excited to finish theirs because-well i really need to- and i'm just hoping that it'll be just awesome! i've put too much pressure on myself to make theirs totally knock-out... and in return i just keep staring at the images with a blank mind. its annoying. but i have like 11 more pages to make (its a 30 page album), so i should be able to knock it out soon!

our wedding today will be.. interesting to say the least. i'm excited to start weddings again and get my brain working that way again. but i wish we had a different wedding to start out with. i'll let you know how the day goes, but say a silent prayer that it goes smoothly!! i'm just not quite sure about it!

jeff and i went to Des Moines yesterday to meet with my wedding for October 11. they are getting married in St. Ambrose Cathedral in downtown and its freaking FABULOUS!! you can't go wrong there! wherever you shoot its awesome!! i'm really excited and aprehensive for that day. the mom is iffy that jeff won't be there with me, but she says she trusts me completley, but shes a bit of a momzilla. so im excited because i know i will get great stuff, but scared that my great stuff wont be great to her. i just hope that i can blow her away! and i also hope that the weather is perfect and the leaves are all colored and awesome!! not too much to ask is it?!

other than being totally drained and tired this week it was fairly good! we dont' watch Reese anymore and while we are a little sad that we wont have that extra income, we are a tiny bit happy that we are back down to one child! one two year old is more manageable! haha! so we've had a good time playing with ethan this week!

Ethan's birthday is in LESS than a month!! i'm so excited! but sad becuase my baby is quickly becoming not my baby anymore. he's going to be 2!!! i can't believe that 2 years ago at this time he wasn't even born yet! its so hard to imagine life before him! although my house was a tiny bit cleaner and i wasn't constantly yelling at him to stop poking me or stop coloring on things..... life is better now!

i tried to have the "2nd child" convo with matt again last night. he just sticks with his "its too hard" reasoning.. which ISN'T good reasoning! (matthew, in case you read this... NOT GOOD ENOUGH!) having a second child isn't like babysitting another 2 year old. and while i'm not blind enough to think that it'll be a piece of cake, i think it will be more rewarding than anything. he's got his other reasons that aren't good either, but at the same time i can understand. however, i told him, i'll be 26 at the end of the year and i am NOT having children after i turn 28. so next year is the year that i will be pregnant! so he better get over his fears and whatever and have a real conversation with me about this!

oh well. such is life with a husband. i don't know why i keep him around, he drive me nutty half the time! and hogs the bed.......
hehe!! ;)
