Happy Friday, everyone! I just finished editing the rest of the pictures Joey and I took the other evening. It's kind of my unofficial maternity photo shoot, since we're kind of unwilling to spend money on such things at such a time as this. (Hello, car loan. Grrr.)

 Joey was rocking a bow tie. Because bow ties are cool.

cherishing these days

31 weeks <3

a beautifully dreary day

what I did this weekend

• woke up to new green grass and what looked like a fabulous rainy day
• drove my husband into town for 11:00 Saturday morning so he could hang with the bridal party
• decided that attempting to get back up our hill would be foolish
• spent the day with in-laws who conveniently do not live up in hilly mudslide land
• died a slow painful death when the beautiful green grass was mercilessly smothered in drifts of white, swirling snow
• found myself enlisted to photograph the reception of a wedding in place of a photographer who was unable to make it there
• attempted to get used to a different camera than my own
• braved vehicle-hungry mud pits hidden under banks of snow to get to the church
• witnessed two beautiful people swear their lives to each other till death due them part
• felt far too pregnant to squeeze myself through myriads of tables, people, and chairs crammed into the reception hall
• and yet was told that I don't look that big for being over six months pregnant (why thank you?)
• realized (with tears) that it went from 22 degrees to minus who knows in less than 24 hours
• photographed my first ever wedding reception
• had a blast doing it.

And you?
