I am so happy to start blogging again. Once the fall semester starts I am not sure how well I will be able to keep up, but hopefully better than these past few weeks. There are so many exciting things going on in my life at the moment that, today, that’s what I want to blog about.
In less than 11 weeks I will be married. Whoa. We’ve been engaged for a year and a half and it has somehow flown by. Time flies when you’re having fun, right? So now starts the mayhem. I recentely woke up and realized, “Oh, I don’t have 8 months, I now have 2.” I am truly lucky. Shay is my best friends. He gets me like no one else has EVER gotten me. We laugh toghether all the time. Thank goodness. It is so refreshing to just laugh with someone daily. I never had that before. As cheesy as it sounds I knew from…not quite the beginning, but let’s just say that I knew before he asked. It just feels right.
Friday our friends (and amazing band) Rearview Ghost are playing at Crush in Birmingham. Our plans are up in the air, but of course we hope we can attend to support our friends as they rock out! I am so glad they are getting gigs outside of Huntsville. They truly deserve any success that comes their way! They support me as a photographer and I will forever support them as a band.
Saturday I will be heading to Cherokee Ridge for one last (hopefully) decorations look. I of course had to make it more complicated and add more stuff for the tables, so I have to make sure it looks good.
Saturday Shay and I will be getting our engagement photos done! YAY. Not only is it so exciting and fun, but we are getting our photos done by probably the best photogs in Huntsville. (And I’m not just saying that because they’re taking ours!) Stephanie and Ashley (www.thewhiterabbitstudios.com) bring such a different style to the area and it’s really refreshing. They are excited about capturing Shay and I as a couple. They want to truly represent who WE are. While I’m nervous about being in front of the camera (I prefer to be behind the camera!) I think it will be a lot of fun for us both.
Sunday Shay and I will be going to his sister’s to throw a surprise birthday party for his mom. I haven’t gotten to spend much time with his family and since mine is 700 miles away, it will be nice to spend some time with his.
Sunday night we’re planning on seeing Sick Puppies at Crossroads. I think it will be a fun show and cannot wait! Some friends of mine were able to see them a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I am really excited Crossroads is trying to get some decent acts here.
Then comes…Monday!!!! Little baby Jonas will be coming on Monday and I am SO excited. Chris has been my best friends (besides Emily) since we were 14 years old. It has been so much fun watching my friends grow into adults while holding on to their “inner” child. Chris and Michelle will be two of the greatest parents. I can’t wait to be a BBF-Aunt. 
This child will be so loved and I cannot wait to watch him grow up. Much love to Chris and Michelle and their new addition.
Wow. I am already tired! This weekend is going to be amazing and I cannot wait!!!!
