Well, time to fess up, I’ve been playing hooky with my hubby and other fellow-backpacker/mountain lovers. My brother-in-law got married last weekend and after a crazy week of awesome friends crashing at our house, bridal showers, tool and other last minute wedding preparations we rushed off to the Pecos Wilderness in New Mexico for a week of backpacking. As in, literally, left from the church parking lot and headed to New Mexico. It was crazy, but so worth it. I am paying for it now though. We just got home a few hours ago and I am doing laundry, vacuuming, combing the dog (who is shedding like crazy crazy!) and catching up on over 300 emails all at once. So…this being absent thing in the middle of wedding season is maybe something I will re-think in the future. I have LOTS of pictures to post, but who knows when that will happen. I also have albums to order and galleries to post, which leads me to a new exciting announcement–I have a new assistant that will be starting part-time in August! Yay!! I don’t mean assistant for weddings, I already have those and DEARLY treasure their help, but an office assistant is something that I have been wanting for a while but felt I could not financially afford-but after working through Millie Holloman’s A-MAZING book “Get it Together” I am realizing this is one necessity I can make myself afford. Dan and I can eat beans and rice for a while if it will help my sanity

I will hopefully write more about both of those things at a later date, but for now, a picture of myself. I know, how exciting. I took this while decorating for Molly & David’s rehearsal dinner. I loved the venue and had a particular fondness for the bathroom, which is where I took this picture.

Ta-ta for now!
