TGIF

Good morning to all of my fabulous friends! Welcome to those of you who are stopping by for the first time via Friday Follow. I’m glad you decided to stop by for a few minutes and pay me a sweet little visit. If you would like to know more about me and who I am visit the About Me tab located at the top of the screen. I’m an amateur photographer, and if you’d like to know more detailed information you can visit my photography blog.

This week has gone by insanely fast. My mother-in-law and brother-in-law arrived on Wednesday afternoon and we’ve been going nonstop {as is the custom when people are visiting} since they arrived. We took 3 carloads full of stuff to the storage unit yesterday and have a couple of big things left to haul this morning. I’m tired of moving junk. Blah! I’ll be so happy when we get done. We’re giving a lot of stuff to Salvation Army and Goodwill because I’m buying all new furniture when we move. We were able to rent a smaller storage unit since we don’t have any big stuff, and that’s saving us some money.

Little Man is going back to Alabama tomorrow with his Grandma. It’s a bittersweet feeling as usual. I’m unbelievably OVERJOYED for the chance to relax and take some me time [and finish cleaning this DISASTER of a house before we put it back on the market]. But I always miss my sweet little man when he’s gone. I just hope that his mood changes a little bit and decides that being ok from mommy and daddy for a little while really is going to be alright.

He woke up last night after we put him in bed and laid in the bed with us for almost an hour. I finally had to put him back in his bed though because he is a horrible bed partner and never can get comfortable in the room with us. He seems to be taking to Hubby’s mom again pretty easily. He got scared of something yesterday and ran right to her instead of me. Which is good. Because I won’t be there the next two weeks. I just hope he readapts to being with my family as easily as he has with Hubby’s. Especially since he hasn’t really seen them since November. Ahem. Anywho.

Hubby got a phone call last night from one of the guys that works with him and they want me to photograph their wedding! I said yes, of course, and I’m super excited to be able to be a part of it and to use it as an opportunity to build my portfolio. It’s in April and the timing has fallen PERFECTLY. Little man is leaving so I will have the next two weeks to spend in the bookstores and online studying and reading as much as I can about Wedding Photography. The wedding is the week after hubby leaves, so that will give me something to do immediately after we have to say goodbye to keep me from getting bogged down and upset. I’m going to probably rent an extra camera, flash and lens. Got to stock up on memory cards and extra batteries. I’m going to pull out all of the stops and I’m crazy excited. *So if any of you reading this are or have photographed weddings, I want and NEED any and all advice you can give me. Thanks!*

I guess that will be about all for today. I’ve got to get up and get moving. We’re taking another load of stuff to the storage unit and then I think we’re heading to Tampa to the International Plaza and I know we are going out to eat tonight. Busy, busy, busy. And I want to get in lots of hugs, kisses and play time with Little Man before he leaves us tomorrow.  🙁

Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and a great start to your weekend!
