to say. I read what my sister
has written and I read other's blogs and I just can't get my mind to go to the writing place. Sorry!
I have spent this summer working
on my photography skills. I loved taking pictures while on vacation with Marsha. When I got home I had a "photo shoot" with a really good friend's grandchildren at the park. That just kind of spurred it on.
I took nearly 1000 pict
ures of those little people and loved every minute of it.
One of my very dear friend's daughter just got married a week ago and they had asked me to be the "candid" photographer at the reception. So, being the over the top person that I am. I loaded up my camera and went to the rehearsal and the dinner snapping away. Then on the wedding day, I arrived at their home and photographed the girls getting ready all morning (about 4 hours worth). I didn't take any pictures during the wedding but I snapped away at the reception. It was very fun, a little intimidating, and very eye opening. I actually had a b
y-line in the wedding program. CRAZY!!! I was a little embarrassed, because I am not a professional and there were several serious photographers at the wedding.
I have researched poses and setups and props for children and weddings for most of the summer. I have put my Photoshop Elements program to great use and I have learned some wonderful new things about my camera! So that is why I haven't posted in awhile. I've sat at my computer but not blogging.
DeWayne has worked a lot of overtime this summer and kayaked.
Evan and I worked at Jr. High Camp last week. I cooked, she worked with the kids. Cooking was really fun and I am blessed to have so many people in my life who are awesome lovers of Jesus. Camp is a week of little sleep, so I am still trying to catch up. I am the 8 hours of sleep a night girl and 4 hours just about kills me. I survived - so stop whining. :D
My library is almost finished. The shelves are done. I am waiting for the paint to cure before I put books on there permanently. DeWayne has all the floor trim down and the crown molding is next. Then the new track lighting, clean the floors, move in the chair and ottoman and put down the rug. THEN it will ALL be finished. I can move books in and it will be time to go back to school.
School - UGH
Maybe I'll be motivated to work on the things I have to do to get ready for school on the first day of August. That's when I'm going to start anyway.
Hope you enjoy the pictures!
