Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

Well, last week officially started the fall season! Thanks to you all, I’m booked until the beginning of November!!! I’m hoping the hurricane season calms down a bit, despite the fact that it just started (!!!), so the icky weather doesn’t push back any plans. šŸ™‚ I’m determined to have a smooth and productive fall season!

So what happened over the past weekend? Julien and his friends invited me to play Fantasy Football (my first time ever playing) … Could be a mistake. Lol! *Ahem… Le’Veon Belle, what happened to you?!* But I am surprised how much fun it is to play!! Of course, draft night had to be a Chipotle and beer kind of night, right? šŸ˜‰ On a side note, I got to meet my sweet friend’s baby for the first time! Look at that face!!! Hilarious! You’ll see Gemma on the blog soon because I’m photographing her family this week!!! Wahoo! šŸ™‚ I hope Gemma brings this smile! Haha! This cell phone photo makes me smile and laugh every time!

Weekend Recap

I had to post this photo of Julien (below). šŸ˜‰ We checked out a potential flipper house (if you cannot tell judging by the ceiling and the crooked floors!) and I’m excited to see what project we tackle together! I’m currently helping him with his current flip and I’m having wayyyyy too much fun! šŸ˜‰ Speaking of which, this right photo is a sneak peek of a project I took on this weekend. Be sure to keep up with my Instagram stories to see what I’ve been up to (@stephaniemessickphoto)!
