Back from Vacation!

So sorry for the delayed blog post today as I have been trying to spend sometime trying to get my internet back up and running at home. As you all know that technology is not 100% perfect all the time. šŸ™‚ Thankfully, I’m back online and time to dive into business work!

Let me just say that having a vacation was SO needed! It probably did not come at the best time of the year being that it is such a crazy season, but I cannot explain how wonderful it was to be able to relax and run away from everything for a week. As you all know, Kyle and his wonderful family took me to Chincoteague for the week at the beach and it could not have been more perfect! As if I could not be more in love with my man, he proves me wrong every single day as he surprises me with his kindness and thoughtfulness! šŸ™‚ Although being a fabulous vacation from beginning to end, I got sick during the second half of my vacation and have been trying to sleep A LOT the past few days to get rid of this mess and this nasty cough. šŸ™ Luckily, I was able to reschedule sessions this past weekend so I can heal up fast and be ready for their sessions with 100% attention.

Because of taking a week off from all business work, I also boldly put aside responding to emails … so today, I will be tackling my emails … and it is a scary pile! Thank you all for your patience! I will be getting back to you ASAP as I hope to get through it all today!

If you did not see the sneak peek yet, Jeremy and Hope had a GORGEOUS wedding last week that I will be sharing this week on my blog! šŸ™‚ Cannot wait to show you all the photos because they are so dear to my heart!

I hope you have a great week and I hope that everyone gets to have some sort of vacation this summer … even if it is a stay-cation!
