Weekend Recap

I feel so happy about this week for some reason! Nothing different really happening but I set myself up for a great start for this week. How? I completely cleared my “edits” before leaving for Savannah & Charleston leaving no “catch up work” to do when returning … Road trip photos are completely culled, edited and backed up (wohoo!) … I already started the culling process for BOTH weddings I had this past weekend … I have OFFICIALLY started the pre-qualfying paperwork for a home mortgage and sent it in last night …  Decided to take my relaxation time last night to answer all of my emails to be sent out this morning <= Seriously, if you ever want a great start off to the week this really makes my Monday! I go through and answer all of my emails to be sent out this morning so all I have to do is go into my “drafts” folder and click send and completely empty out my inbox! MAGIC! Except not because I took my time away from relaxing … but it feels super accomplishing for the start of a Monday, which counts! 😉

 Here are some things I’m excited to share this week on the blog! :)))) CONGRATS Travis & Amanda and Evan & Ally for two amazing weddings this past weekend! Both days were calling for rain and there wasn’t one drop until all of the photos and events were taken care of! What a blessing for these two couples and their families!!!

Something that Kyle and I noticed when we were awing over the cities and plantations were mostly about the trees … which then made the connection to our last road trip out on the west coast. I think we have a thing for trees. 😉 Haha!
