its been a long month.

how my months have been so jam packed, i have no idea! the days are shorter and my work days are way too short! sure, i don't want to have to be here for 12 hours, but a couple extra would be okay! our senior season is slowly coming down, but now everyone wants Christmas Cards... and they want 3 different options and they want me to email them and they want to choose, but change them.... ugh!! i have templates for a reason!! i LOVE designing things like that, but not when i have a list of 20 and each person wants 3 different cards!! i dont have that kind of TIME!

that was my vent.

October has been a bitch. we had 2 weddings on the 11th. mine was a big one! but it was SO fun! and the images look great! this past weekend we had the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure that we photographed. 24,000 people in a tiny space in 40degree weather. it was a blast.... no, it was really fun! thats always a fun event, and for such a great cause! after the race i went home and put on sweats!! then i had to come back to work and download everything.
Sunday we headed to Des Moines for Fall Seminar. that, again, was an interesting event. i was excited to get out of town, even for 48 hours, and be with photographers! its always nice to talk cameras and PhotoShop and RAW's with people that know!! but, by the time dinner was over i was ready for bed and my house. sometimes i just wonder about those events. all in all it was pretty good. Mackenzie and i got our asses out of bed early to go see jaymie and mindy's talk, they were good and they are young (they went to Hawkeye with me!) so their stuff was good and made us start to think! and sometimes for Kenz and i, that is a bad thing! not for us... for our bosses!!!

fastforward...

its now November, i didnt have time to finish this post last time i worked on it.
this past week has been crazy---again! we've had things to do and places to go for about the past 5 days. on sunday i actually just stood in my living room because i actually had NOTHING to do! it was unsettling....

we took Sr pics of Regan Sarver on Friday morning and they were AWESOME! we went to DM and her and her mom pretty much gave us the freedom to do whatever we wanted! we love those clients!

saturday Matt and i went to help with Jess' habitat house. they were putting up sheet rock and there were lots of people there. we didnt get to help a ton, but i know what parts i held up! that stuff is HEAVY!! my tiny arms hardly held up! but i'm tough! i'm hoping to go help again, for at least a little bit, this saturday. i think that hopefully they are getting to a point where i can actually help and be usefull! right now i'm just a little girl that knows nothing!!

sunday i shot the Knoxville Basketball girls poster! we went to the airport(in kxville) because they have 2 little yellow planes! once Jeff gets started on the poster i'm sure it'll turn out awesome! the picture never works like it should in your head... so you have to finishing it in photoshop! after that we went to my church for the Turkey Dinner--sorry, Fall Dinner. it was good but Ethan was running to stay awake, so that was a bit annoying.


i really feel like i dont have enough time for anything. i have a list... and another list.. oh yeah, and another list of stuff that i have to get done at work then i get home and have a list there. then i have all my extra stuff, like updating the work blog and facebook page that i dont have time to do! i feel like i'm drowning in work and now it gets dark at freaking 5:00!! that doesn't help!

i'm just a whiner! now, i'm going to start on another one of those endless lists that i have!
have a good one!!



ps. i'm going to see HANSON TOMORROW!!! wowoooooo!! they are going to be in DM for the first time in FOREVER, Heath and i are totally excited to go!!!
