My Beautiful Wife

Piece and Quiet

This is my favorite time of the day. I get so excited to take my lunch because it's 60 minutes that I can enjoy to myself working on what makes me smile, my business. I love coming down to the riverwalk byt the Farmer's Market and sit on the rock steps and watch the river move by me, listening to the dogs being walked behind me, and the kids walking with mom and dad. It seems to be the perfect moment in such a fast paced world.

Chris and I decided that in order to get those moment with our family again, we were going to work on down sizing our tasks. I have picked up some responsibilities of editing and designing, along with purchasing a new Dell Mini netbook so that I can work on the administrative part on my lunch. Right now, I am working on getting it set up, but it is enjoyable to know that I will have more time to spend with the kids and instead of telling Josie to wait until I'm done updating the accounting, I can play our new favorite game, Barbie, Queen of the Prom, the moment she asks.

Don't get me wrong, I've had this opportunity before, but our old laptop couldn't hold nearly as much information as I required it to have. I am in total awe of this computer. Maybe because it's my own and there is something about purchasing a product with cold hard cash that you personally worked your tail off to obtain that sets you on cloud 9 when using it.

On a side note: I was just told that I am doing what a classly like myself should be doing on a beautiful day like today. What a nice thing to be said.

On a family note: Bryce will be 2 years old on September 16th. I can't believe how quickly time has flown by. I wish he would start to talk. He isn't as responsive when you call his name as I'd like him to be, but that could just be a kid-thing. I have heard over and over again that I should look into getting his hearing tested and maybe even get tubes put in his ears. I'm not sure about the tubes part, but he has an appointment on Thursday morning to find out what is going on with him.

I suppose that's it for now. I need to get a few things accomplished before my meeting this evening. Stay tuned, I will be blogging more often now that I will have my Mini on me at all times. :)

Happy Monday!

It's a Sister Thing

Misty and I work at Burkhart Advertising together. She's in Marion so I don't get to see her but maybe 2 or 3 times a year. When Misty told me that she was going to have a baby, I was so excited, I couldn't contain myself. Then, she continued to tell me that 3 of the 4 sisters in her family were also pregnant, due around the same time. How exciting is that?

When Misty said that her sister's wanted to get some pictures taken with them and then all the grandkids, I couldn't resist. Even though it started to rain on us, we picked the perfect location for a gazebo to not ruin our fun.

Look how cute these kids are. I can't wait to see the babies in the next few weeks.

Teddy and Erin are gettin' hitched

I knew Erin in middle school. She was always the pretty girl with a huge personality. The biggest Notre Dame I've known (sorry guys, pretty sure she beats you out in that #1 fan thing).




When my mom posted our old cheer leading picture on facebook, I had to tag her. After talking about her wedding a little and looking at our albums, Erin decided that Chris and I were the ones she wanted to photograph her wedding. I'm so glad to because her wedding is going to be fabulous and she's going to have an awesome guest book too. :)




Here are just a few imges that will be featured in her guest book.

Ryan and Brittney are finally married

Ryan and Brittney have one of those fair tale stories that just draw into them. They started out as high school sweet hearts and then decided to see other people when we were accepted to different colleges in different cities. After missing each other so much, they realized, that they would battle all odds and re-kindle their romance they had in high school. After tricking her a few times into thinking he was proposing, Ryan finally popped the questions. Two years of engagement, a graduation, and a lot of love and support from friends and family and Ryan and Brittney are FINALLY married. I just love all of their pictures, I can't just choose a few so here are only SOME of my faves.

James and Jenny are Married!!!

This couple is just too cute. I have had the pleasure of getting to know them as they planned their wedding, designed their save the dates, and every other detail about their day. To my surprise, James came to EVERY meeting, ready to help make the final decision for Jenny. They are such a perfect match. Here are only a few images from the June wedding.

Henry and Burke are Baptised!

Deanna called me one day looking for someone to document her beautiful little boy's baptism a few weekends ago. A sucker for babies, I couldn't say no. To our surprise, Deanna's cousin and his wife baptized their baby at the same time.
