happenings

This morning it is pouring rain and thundering loudly here in Logan. I love it — because I don’t have to go out in it. It’s soothing and dark and quiet. And I can smell the rain from my open window. This doesn’t happen enough.

Remember how we are supposed to move out of our house at the end of the month? Well the other night as Kenny and I laid in bed, I suddenly realized that I wasn’t ready quite yet. I am in love with this house and it hurts my heart a little bit to leave. I thought I was ready but I’m not. So. . . we are staying an extra couple of weeks!

Speaking of things changing, I only have two more days of work next week. TWO MORE DAYS of working where I’ve been for three years, where I’m comfortable, where I actually kind of like to be these days. I never would have expected to feel a little bit sad to be finished. I am pretty thrilled to be a FULL-time photographer though. :)

This weekend we have exciting things happening. Tomorrow Kenny is running the Ogden marathon! This is his fifth one and since the last time he ran the Ogden one he was two minutes away from qualifying for Boston, we’re hoping he beats that this time. Not that he’d run the Boston marathon, but just because that’s awesome. :) ALSO we are bringing something home on Sunday that we’ve been waiting and waiting for. . . but you’ll hear about that next week!

And to finish off, here’s a photo from the set I’ve been editing of my beautiful friend who hopefully has this little baby sooner rather than later. . . :)

Sarah & Jason were married in the Logan temple on a lovely April day. It threatened rain all week, but everything turned out beautifully!

YAY! These are so sweet, Kristin. Um, The Bell, I LOVE your shoes! Happy Marriage! :D

life right now • week 19

Another week, another iPhone self portrait. :) Ha! I mentioned last week how crazy busy things were — well, things were even crazier than I anticipated. A full time schedule at work, plus a full load of photography work to be doing, plus two portrait sessions, plus back to back weddings over the weekend and two separate trips to Centerville. Plus Kenny started his new (exhausting) job in Coalville so I didn’t see him for four and half days which was the WORST!

Needless to say, we both needed a break. So today. . . we are catching up. On sleep, time with each other, and time to relax and take a break from the stress. We declared that nothing productive was allowed to be done today and that life can begin again tomorrow.

Sometimes, you just a need a day off. :)

This post is part of my Project 52 for this year — I’m taking one self portrait each week of the year that represents “life right now.” To read more about it, see here and to see the past weeks in the series, see here. :)

Days of doing nothing together are essential in my opinion! Life gets so busy. Please PLEASE let us know when you are down in Centerville so that we can see each other again!!

brindy & mike: engagements

Brindy & Mike–these two are pretty darn cute together. And we dodged the rain enough to get some pretty darn cute photos on campus at Utah State. We found the coolest little hidden spot that I really wish I’d known about it for the past three years. :)

life right now • week 18

Really really busy. Which means that all I have time for this project right now is a grainy iPhone self portrait. :)

I’m spending lots of time in front of my computer editing and editing and editing (1.5 weddings and 4 portrait sessions to go!). Plus I took a bunch of extra shifts at work this week for a co-worker on vacation (I thought we could use the extra money). Plus we’re trying to cram in as much social time with our friends before we move (in THREE weeks). Plus I got Kenny’s sickness (it was inevitable).

So, that’s it for today. Hi and bye!
