One step closer...

Okay, perhaps i am being a bit morbid, but when i wake up tomorrow i will be 14 days shy of my 40th birthday.

How am i handling it...okay (depending on how the wind blows). I have good days mostly, but sometime i just want to cry because of all i haven't accomplished.

I know, i must focus on all the wonderful experiences i have had and the amazing things i have done and seen.

I took this photo on Hilton Head in June.

I thought it was appropriate for two reasons...

1. It is All Hallows Eve

2. Every day is one step closer...

I'm an Elizabeth?

I really thought i might be more of an Elinore Dashwood, but that might be because of my huge secret crush on Hugh Grant!

Happy Halloween!

Hey ya all! I just wanted to wish you a Happy Halloween!

(I know it's a day early but i am home sick today and i have to work tomorrow)!

Amanda & Eric's wedding

Here are some photo's from our friends Eric & Amanda's wedding that took place about 3 weeks ago. I shot the wedding and was pretty happy with the results.
It was such a beautiful wedding and a neat reception. Everything was so 'fall-ish'.

This is my favorite photo, it's of Amanda's flowers on the train of her dress.

Another shot of the dress.

A lasso used in the ceremony.

The flower girls basket.

In the limo after the ceremony.


The pretty bride and her flowers.

Gazebo outside of the reception.The beautiful table setting at the reception.

Treats off the 'candy bar'.

The 'candy bar' (not a great photo, but i just love this idea).


It was such a fun day and night. I wish them a lifetime of happiness.

I'm back.

Not that I've been anywhere, just not here.
Things have been hectic. We're so busy at work getting ready for the holidays and Joel's been trying to find a job. Just hectic.

Hi Jenn and Wendy...thanks for Friday night, I had a great time and i truly appreciate your friendships.

Here are some more photo's from the cruise. I can't believe we've been back for over a month now...what i wouldn't give to be back there again!

Here is the Flying Dutchman from the third Pirate's of the Caribbean movie. So cool!


Here is the Dutchman with the Cruise ship in the background.

Photo from snorkeling. The snorkeling on the adult beach was amazing, i saw tons of fish, sea urchins (see below), langastinos (warm water lobsters), a barracuda (seriously, a barracuda), and a sting ray. It was amazing.

The view of Castaway Cay from our cabin.

Previously mentioned sea urchin!

I also photographed my friends Amanda & Eric's wedding earlier this month, i will try to post more of those in a little bit!

Have a great Sunday.

Real quick...

It has been a real crazy week! We got back from vacation, had friday off, i went to Scrap Pink at Hannah's in Antioch on Saturday (so much fun!), and then Sunday we were in Rockford for the day, Joel went golfing and i went to my nieces baby shower.

Work has been insane too! Busy, yeah! But also busy catching up on everything that i fell behind on while i was gone.

This next week is going to be nuts too! Today we are off to a wedding (i will also be photographing it) and then tomorrow i have to work (my 1st of 6 days this week) and do inventory.



We had such an amazing time on the cruise. Here are just two quick photo's.



I promise to share more soon.

Have a great weekend!


The door from inside the ship looking out. We still haven't left port yet so you see that in the background.

Gotta love the mouse!!

Bye.
