Rosie Goes to the Vet

I've been MIA the last few days and you want to know what my excuse is? I had to take Rosie to the vet. I feel like maybe I'm getting a glimpse into what having children would be like. (All you moms out there are probably shaking your heads at me right now. ;) ) I'm not kidding, it gives me a HUGE appreciation for the moms who also, somehow, run a business. You all are rockstars. And now I will stop comparing having a cat to having multiple children and share a couple random tidbits from the weekend:

  • Nathan baked an apple pie. From scratch. With the fancy criss cross top and all. He is officially a better baker/cook than I am.
  • New Girl never gets old. I'm stretching out the season finale as long as I can by watching it multiple times. I'm on number four.
  • Wearing my good flats to trek around in the woods for an engagement session is never a good idea. I think I dumped about five pounds of leaves, sticks, grass and dirt from my shoes at the end of the session.
  • Gnats, while annoying, can really add something to the bokeh of pictures. Tune in to next Thursday's wedding blog post to see what I mean.

And here's my usual view of Rosie. She's a lot happier in the window sill than at the vet.

Waiting to Dive In

Being a wedding photographer is kinda funny sometimes. You go from being soinsanelybusyyoucanhardlybreathe May through October to sloooooow over the winter. I think no matter how many wedding seasons I go through it will always take me by surprise. I'm wired to be very calculated and routine, and I'm still learning to speed up and then slow down and bask in a day off during the week when I work all weekend. Today is one of those days. I've been on the cusp of busy season for awhile now but I haven't completely dived in. Starting this weekend I'll begin my long stretch, and to make sure I'm completely refreshed and ready for that, I'm going to relax today.

I'm going to play with Rosie.

I'm going to have lunch with my mom.

I'm going to go for a run and enjoy being outside.

I'm going to get some things crossed off my to do list that won't otherwise get done this busy season.

I'm going to eat lots and lots of Nutella (and maybe frozen yogurt if I'm being completely honest).

I'm going to watch the season finale of New Girl.

It's going to be a glorious day! :D
