silence is beautiful

day: wednesday... this week is going slow...
feeling: super tired!
doing: this, i just got to work and i'm thinking about doing some cleaning/organizing., but haven't totally decided yet.
listening to: nothing. i haven't felt like music the last couple days. silence seems more relaxing.


the summer has been moving right along. as far as summers go this ones been the best/easiest i can remember in a while. its been super hot, but then perfect a 75degrees for a week, then back to hot. just how Iowa should be! we haven't been super crazed just yet. and we've been able to relax and enjoy the weather-friends-family time.

last week we headed to Panama for their 125th Celebration! it was wild! we got in late, otherwise i would have gotten some better pictures of the happenings. there were SO MANY PEOPLE! in case you don't know, Panama is a small town-comparable to Bussy-but a bit bigger. maybe Melcher-but a bit smaller... either way, its a town where everyone knows you, knows of you, or oddly recognizes you from when you were 5 becuase they know your Grandparents! its a great place all around! anyhow. we got there right at dark-about 9:30ish, and we thankfully got a spot to park right by my Grandma's house! there was a band playing in the block that the Catholic school is on, which happens to be a stones thow away from my Grandma's driveway. the band played until 2am.... that was fine because we ended up being UP until that time anyways! there were carnival games, food stands, a beer garden! hells yah! the best part of the beer garden was that it was located in the street between the Catholic church and the Catholic school!

its how we Catholics partAAy!!

after that weekend we've been pretty lazy. we don't have any weddings on the schedule for July-which is odd-but also kinda okay! we like having a break! especially when the next 3 months are pretty full! our seniors are filling up too. not as much as we think they should be.. but they are still calling so that's a good thing!

i've been trying to get out more and take some pictures for myself. i love shooting in general, but i love shooting more when its a shot i have in my head and it turns out just right!! i've been brainstorming some more shots that i'd like to do-i just have to find the time and the model(s) to do it!

i should pry get to doing some work. i have to design a thank you card-hopefully my brain is in a "designing" kinda place today......


happy 4th!!
