One Really Busy Week & a Half
Did you ever have so many things going on that you didn’t know what to talk about? I just did. Hence no post in forever. Let’s see if I can recap…
Friday, April 27 - Went to the Air Show at Langley. We should do fun family things like this more often. Of course, the lightening storm that came in after the concert killed the prospect of the night show, but the day show was great.
Saturday, 4/28 - Sleepover w/ the Kropp kids.
Sunday, 4/29 - A Busch Gardens evening. We finally broke down and got a season pass. No pics - I actually left the camera at home. When I got home I got to spend the evening w/ Erin at our local hot spot, Barnes and Noble. 
Monday, 4/30 - So we got a wild hair up our butts and washed the van. Figured it was a good idea to see out the windshield while driving for 9 hours (see Thursday - Monday). Evidentally, this is something we shouldn’t do. When we were done, I put the wiper down and noticed that it wasn’t sitting flush w/ the windshield. No big deal - the blade had just come loose. So, I lift up the wiper and start adjusting the blade. The blade falls out. I lost grip on the wiper. And did this:
Let me also add that no one believed me. The glass place kept convincing me it was a rock. I knew otherwise. I saw it happen. I DID it. They still don’t believe me.
Tuesday, 5/1 - Kids watch cartoons in the am before school. Gabe goes to school, Em and I go to my physcial therapy appt. We come home. Turn on the t.v. so that Em could watch Dora. There were three Dora’s - one was red, one in blue, one in green. Evidentally the convergence was off, and the menu wouldn’t fix it. So, I had to find a t.v. repairman.
Wednesday, 5/2 - Weight Watchers in the am. Kohl’s for some clothes for the trip. TV repairmen carting our tv away in a truck. Glass men not believing my wiper story, but giving me a new windshield anyway. Mom spends the night.
Thursday, 5/3 - Hop in the van. Loaded to the gills. Zuzu to the doggie hotel. We drive 9 hours to Atlanta to spend 4 days in a hotel room w/ 5 people. Do NOT get me started on the customer service practices of this particular Hampton Inn.
Friday, 5/4 - Spend the day at the Mall of Georgia. Spend the evening at the rehearsal dinner and w/ the family.
Saturday, 5/5 - MY COUSIN’S WEDDING! 
I had the honor and privelege of photographing it. My first big gig. It felt good. Here’s a few previews…
Isn’t Suzanne gorgeous? How did my cousin get so darn lucky? Emily was enamored w/ her - she thought she was a princess. It was terribly cute.
Sunday, 5/6 - Chris’ fraternity brother, J.P., and his girlfriend met us for lunch. It was SOOOOO great seeing him. Been way too darn long. And yes, I left the camera at home again. Shocking, I know.
Monday, 5/7 - back in the van for 9 hours.
today - just playing catchup - on sleep, on Grey’s Anatomy… Oh, and I had my yearly MRI on my tumor. Had to spend 1 1/2 hours on the table. Ugh. Hopefully nothing has changed.
Soooooooo, like I said, so much going on that I didn’t know where to start. It has been a very crazy week and a half.
Glad to have you back. Was it a fun trip overall? Email me when you get a moment.

your photos are beautiful - i think you did a wonderful job for such a big gig…doing someone’s wedding would be so scary and kudos to you for taking it on!
fingers crossed everything stays the same with the tumor!

So nice to get cought up on your world, hehe! I have to say that I did the same thing one time with Steve’s truck when Peg and I were going scrapbooking. I was so upset his windhield cost alot of money.
Hope the MRI comes back with a good report. Take care and we will have to get together sometime for coffee.
Love the wedding photos, thanks for giving me some ideas, I am shooting one on Sunday. Eck Ads!

Gee whiz! And I thought I’d been busy! Your pictures came out gorgeous. I do hope you get some time to rest and that the news from your MRI is wonderfully good news. (How you spent an hour and a half doing that is beyond me…don’t think I’m up to the challenge!)
Have a great weekend!
