Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! The weather was ideal in Virginia! 🙂 Perfect for pumpkin patching, corn mazing and hiking. Well, maybe not necessarily on Saturday when we had the brutal winds, so I guess Sunday was the ideal day! I’m excited to say that I FINALLY have my car back after it has been in the shop for over a month from a minor deer accident! God was teaching me patience this past month. I’m glad that’s over! 🙂

This past weekend was an exciting one because one of my younger “sisters” is MARRIED!!! It was so special to document her and Davey’s wedding day. I cannot wait to share more with you later this week! 🙂 After celebrating their wedding on Friday, I took Saturday and Sunday off to finally relax after conquering seven weddings in four weekends! WHEW. It has been a whirlwind! I didn’t even know what to do with myself on Saturday. Haha! I ended up spending the weekend playing catch up with friends and home chores. If you saw my laundry … It was real life. I had a pile of clothes I haven’t put away from the last few times of laundry dating back from my Cape Cod trip in August. Yikes! It was so nice to take the time to straighten up my house and prep for this week!! I woke up this morning feeling energized and ready, prepared and organized! It’s only 10:30 a.m. on Monday and I’m actually already ahead of my schedule! Woo!
