Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap | Sneak Peeks

What a weekend! I hope everyone had a fabulous Fourth of July! 🙂 It has been a CRAZY week leading up to this point. I have been trying to rest my body since it has been going so hard for so long. Now I’m back in the swing of things and planning to get a bulk of my work done before leaving for a little beach getaway this coming up weekend. :))) I should only have a few albums and sessions to edit next week and then I’m off for a couple of weeks! I should do this every year as a great check up to ensure I’m on track each season. This weekend was spent with family and friends … along with some cannons and explosions, of course! Oh and lots of unhealthy food in moderation. Last week, I spent some time trying to put an offer on a house but wasn’t successful. I have learned SO much about the home buying process so far and I believe that when it is meant to happen, it will. I have come to the acceptance that it wasn’t my time. God will direct me to MY house when it’s time. I was in the hopes that I would be moving out during my “off month” but instead of trying to go full force, I think I’m going to hang back this month and refocus my energy for this upcoming fall wedding season. I shouldn’t rush into the responsibility of a home buyer anyways, right? 😉 Haha!

On a side note, one of my favorite things after a wedding day is seeing a different perspective from a videographer! This weekend, I received a notification that two videos were ready to be viewed! So awesome! I thought I would share these videos with you all because they turned out awesome!!! 🙂
