Wowzers.. I've been busy. But I really need to catch up on my blogging to de-stress.
It's been a good busy.. really.

I've now shot 3 weddings! Lets go back and reread that shall we.. THREE WEDDINGS!!

1. The first with Kurtis and the low lit restaurant in Roseville
2. Second somewhat with Winter for her sisters. Outdoors, Paris themed- cute!
3. And the third was just the other day on the 13th yet again with Kurtis, at the Empire Mine for the most perfect couple I have yet to witness, Corbin & Stephanie.

This last wedding has made me think differently about weddings all together. This was the first to make me cry. I truly felt the passion and love these two people had for each other.
As we had done in the first wedding I was responsible for the groomsmen and Groom himself. Which I am totally okay with. The guys are easy going, laid back, an put me at ease.
This specific group of guys were so awesome. I had actually ended up becoming really close with and now am friends with on Facebook.

That was the vibe I had from this wedding the whole night. Easy to talk to everyone and just like I was with my own friends. I can't describe how good it felt to be there.
It was just as how I hope or imagine my wedding to be like one day.

I took just over 1,500 photos that night.

So I'll have quite a lot to edit. I  hope to be done by the time Mariah's wedding rolls around on the 10th of August. I certainly have my work cut out for me.

But I'm not complaining. I enjoy what I do.

Although I only got about 5 hours of sleep the night of  the Boyle Wedding- and I had to work at 6:30am the next day, I was in such a good mood the entire shift.

My amazing night before had rubbed off onto the next day and that is saying something.

Just makes me realize that it's okay to miss days of work to take photos. It helps with my sanity.

On other notes- sort of. Goodtimes is FINALLY opening a women's store where Top Drawer was. They start renovating in August and should be open September 1st.

The store will be called Mint.

And I would really love nothing more than to work there. So I have planned to talk to Gus about it and see if I'm someone he may even consider hiring.

Lets see, what else.. Yusef and Juleia and the family are fasting seeing as how it is Ramadan. I haven't seen them for a while. But we are still planning on having a small Portland trip in August, the 15th-19th I think we have decided? School starts the 26th and Janna comes the 30th for a week I think.

Not to mention Blake's Birthday is the 20th.

It's going to be quite the busy next few months. OH! And obviously to tie it all back in- MAriah's wedding is the 10th.
