Weekend Catch Up

I’m sitting here at Starbucks realizing that I really need to be getting on the internet research. I just moved into my new house yesterday (YAY!) as it has been a small process up to this point. Kyle and I were officially able to move in on Thursday, but due to our busy schedules, that was not going to happen until our first day off. Let me just say that packing AND moving doesn’t quite work very well! šŸ˜‰ Lol! Thankfully my mom was very patient and very helpful with the move! šŸ™‚ So thankful for an awesome family!!! So far … I am in LOVE with the new house and sooooo anxious to get it decorated! I want to share photos with you all, but that will come soon after things are a little more settled. Only thing that is getting me right now are the bugs! Many more stink bugs than my parents house … I found my first millipede yesterday. Oh my goodness, thank goodness Kyle is there to my rescue as I cannot handle bugs very well. God bless him! He has officially taken the role of my father where I used to call him to save me from the scary, disgusting, yet small bugs!

Besides the fact that there were a lot of moving around with the big move, I had the honor of photographing Joe and Michelle’s wedding! Oh my goodness, this wedding was SO much fun!!!! I cannot wait to share the experience with you this week on the blog! Forgive me if my blog posts are not on time for the next few weeks as I will be continuing to settle in … figure out INTERNET … and still be working Tues/Thurs at my graphic design job. šŸ™‚ Here is a sneak peek of Joe and Michelle’s wedding! Loved the trolley!!!!
