Goodbye, October!

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Well, I hope you all are well-rested with your extra hour of sleep (unless you live in Hawaii, Arizona, and somewhere else???).  I used my extra hour to stay up extra late in preparation for getting ready for our family vacation!  I have deadlines to meet, a house to clean, clothes to wash, fold & pack, and character meals to schedule! As I’m fretting about today, and the next day, and the next, and making a hopeful list of all the things I “need” to get done, I’m reminded of God’s truth in Matthew 6:34:  “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own.”  You may think this doesn’t sound very helpful or hopeful, but go up a few verses and begin at verse 25…it’ll all make sense!

As we say goodbye to October, I’d like to share a few of my favorites from this busy month…

My favoritest of all!

Corinne

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Okay, let me first start this blog post by telling you how badly my day was going, and then end it with how great Corinne‘s head shots turned out.

First, I woke up with a headache!  Argh!  This fickle Fall weather keeps my head spinning.  I’ve recently been using Claritin D & it’s worked!  Occasionally there are times when it’s not enough & sleep is the only thing that can save me.  Well, sleep was not an option on Saturday.  My wonderful husband Josh went in to work so that he could meet a deadline that would allow us to take our VACATION!  My sweet sister-in-law, Ashley, offered to have my girls come to her house for her son’s 4th birthday party while I worked.

Second, as I was driving the girls to Ashley’s house, Brooke’s drink spilled all over the passenger seat & I didn’t notice until I was almost all soaked up.

Third, after dropping the girls off, I began to sip my sweet sweet tea from Mickey D’s when, BAM, the cup malfunctioned, split, and spilled sweet sticky tea all over me & my car!!!!  My first thought – WHAT A WASTE OF SWEET TEA!!!  Needless to say, this ruined my professionally stylish outfit & I was late to meet Corinne at the Annapolis Mall.

However, just because a day starts out badly, doesn’t mean it has to continue in that direction.  And although the mall wasn’t the ideal place to photograph Corinne, it was all we had with the on-again, off-again rain.  So while we dodged rain & a gazillion trick-or-treaters in the mall, we captured some great shots of this up & coming writer!

Corinne is such a neat person & really easy to chat with.  I’m really excited to see her book when she finishes it, and you should be too!  In the meantime, after you drool over her photos (sorry guys, she’s taken), go check out her blog, Following Bliss & leave her some love.  Thanks, Corinne, for being so flexible & patient with me…and most of all, for pointing me in the direction of some non-dairy ice cream!
