just a quick post before i head off to a bridal session over in rockwall…

this week has been just as mega-crazy as the last few. work was busy monday through thursday, which has become more and more of the norm.

on monday night, jeromy graduated from the hurst citizen’s fire academy. mom and dad came for the festivities, which included dinner and the presentation of their certificates (i’ll post photos soon). we were very proud of jeromy and i know that he’ll have a blast with future volunteering opportunities with the fire department.

we actually managed to go grocery shopping this week - something that had not occurred in months due to a general lack of time. our fridge and pantry are actually stocked with food and we’ve enjoyed being able to stay in and cook meals.

i took this morning off and got my last name officially changed at the social security office and driver’s license place. i’ll hit the bank tomorrow and have jeromy added to my account. it feels good to tie up this one little loose end… jeromy had been calling me by my maiden name all this time bc i hadn’t gotten this taken care of yet.

as mentioned before, i’m about to head to rockwall to do a bridal session. i have another wedding and bridal session scheduled for this weekend, too. crazy, huh? it keeps me busy but i sure love it. it’s like i feel nervous before each and every wedding, but once i get behind the lens, it just all flows. and it’s a uniquely great feeling that comes over me when i take photos for people. i’m nowhere as good as i want to be, but i learn with each session and event…and it’s something that i hope that i can continue to be successful at. i’m amazed at the awesome people i get to meet through this “financially compensating hobby” of mine… i am convinced i have the most amazing clients in the world. i have tons of edits to do (including some of my nephew, joshua), so i’ll be plugging away at those over july 4th weekend in between the various home projects we want to knock out.

dad and jeromy are going to the rangers game tonight. they have super good tickets, so i’m sure it will be a fun night for them both. if anything, it will give them a chance to relax and unwind from all the pressures/stresses in their lives right now.

i’ve been going to bed for the last two nights at 9:30… and it has done wonders for how i feel the next day. i totally have a huge crush on sleep right now. heh. gotta run…
