listening to: my Grandma and my family chatting in the dining room
feeling: RELIEVED!
this past week has been AWFUL! last Friday i had an awful day and it stayed with me all weekend. i was just grouchy with really no reason to be. then the week went slow but fast at the same time. i had a HUGE wedding on Saturday that i was stressing over all week, so that didn't really help me! then i just kept getting nothing done at work. you know how that is? you work so hard and at the end of the day you don't feel like you've accomplished a damn thing! i hate that!
thursday came around and i had to actually start thinking about this wedding and so started the stress. i was head shooter and it was an all day wedding. we were at the church at 9 to start shooting the bride getting her hair done and i didn't leave the reception until close to 11. all day. it turned out that the day went great! great great great! everything went really smooth, people where where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there! it was wonderful! and i had 3 girls that helped me, shoot, organize, carry things, tear down. everything! i'm so thankful they took a saturday out to help me! i would have been totally a mess without them! i know its hard for people to take time out to do that when its not their full time job, but i hope that they had fun and feel like they got some great shots!!
the wedding was at St. Ambrose Cathedral in downtown DM. the church is amazing! pretty much anywhere you went outside or in the sacuary was a wonderful shot! after the ceremony we went to a few places downtown DM. a red walking bridge on 2nd. Court Avenue to a bar and a closed bar! we walked the wedding party down the center of the road, not Court but the road beside Dos Rios. the wedding party stopped a fire truck and we got a shot by that! then we went to the capital and did some more things there! the reception was wonderful at Hy Vee Conference Center, they do a wonderful job! dinner and cake was fab! and the dance was so fun!
i got home a little after midnight and my whole body just ached! such is standing all day. however i did find comfy shoes that i COULD stand in all day! they gave me blisters on the tops of my feet because they are a flip flop type sandal, but i can totally live with that!!
sunday morning Ethan and i packed up and headed for Panama to spend some time with my family! i have been looking forward to this for a week! that's pretty much whats been keeping me sane!! my aunt and uncle are here from Colorado so its been really fun to hang out with them!
Ethan is playing with his cousin Jason (they are 3 months apart). we've been waiting for them to get to the point where they actually play together and they finally do! they have been downstairs laughing hysterically with the older boys for the last half hour!
i think i need some more crackers and cheese dip! (we pretty much will eat all night!!)
have a good week!
