Hello world. I’ve had a rough week. So rough, that I kind of want to just leave it like that, but I feel I should maybe explain a tad bit. Last week one of our cars went out on the day I was headed down to Waco for a portrait shoot. It was very chaotic and to make a long story short I drove multiple people’s cars and eventually got our other car from Dan who was at the clinic and left him stranded… woops… From Waco, I went on to Austin for my first wedding of the weekend. I had two weddings back to back this weekend. One of them was in Austin and the other in Keller which left me with little sleep and not even enough time to recharge all of my batteries for wedding number 2. In fact I was still recharging when I arrived at the church. I had my pocket wizard and slave flash batteries plugged in until they were needed. When I finally got home late Saturday night I crashed. I woke up about 12 hours later feeling like I had a wedding hangover, but this is not why my week has been rough. Sunday night our house was broken into. I know this happens to a lot of people, but most people don’t have other people’s priceless wedding photos on their computer. Luckily, I had prepared for such an event as far as backing up files, however the loss of one of our laptops has put me moving at a slightly slower pace. I am currently processing images for more weddings at one time than I have ever done before. Not exactly the best time for this little occurrence, but then again, when is the best time for someone to violate your personal space like that?

We have much to be thankful for though and so life goes on. I have been trying to get back into the swing of things but it’s been rough. We were planning on moving in about a month into my parent’s house because my parents just bought a beautiful new house and we will be renting/fixing up their old house and getting it ready to sell. We will still be moving, but we are moving my office moving date up to this weekend. This means all week I have been preparing to move. Burning DVDs and pushing through editing so that I am not incredibly far behind due to the office move. All of this to say, this week has been a little rough. I’m hoping to move smoothly this weekend and be up and running again by Tuesday, but if I do not respond to your emails or phone calls within 24 hours, this is why. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

And now, for what I have been working on today. I just finished editing Evan & Ryan’s wedding and have a new favorite from the end which didn’t make the original blog cut. I love it, I hope they do to!

  • Katie – so sorry to hear about your house being broken into. That happened to my sister about 3 months ago, and I can only imagine how violating that would feel. But like you said – you have much to be thankful for in the midst of this mess. I hope this weekend leaves you with some time to spend with your hubby and enjoy each other’s company! Praying for you to feel encouraged through this rough time with God’s presence!
