WOW- it's been a week?
Sorry for the missing status. I guess this week has been busy?! I have no idea. I have lots of updates-- not much I feel like writing right now.... but I have pics to share from Ry's b-day last weekend. (really need a new point and shoot so we can take pics of us doing random everyday stuff).
I met up with some college peeps last weekend and did a photo shoot in K-zoo. SUPER fun. I always thought K-zoo was dirty- but man they had a super cute downtown. Got some fun shots.
So for now- here are a couple- I have to DL the ones from Ry's bday. More on that later. All I can say is I have fallen in love with urban sessions!

I am a floating tree killer!!
I know- strange title! But... it's true! Ok- at my job I print lots and make lots of copies, all in all waste lots of paper!! Sooooo- it's not a new concept to me. I often tell my boss that it's a good thing I am not an environmentalist cause I could never work there.
However- today I became not just a tree killer, but I moved on to new places to kill trees. You see- for the past week I have been pulling together these payment history reports and printing them for one of our attorney's. Well apperently I work too efficiently and took about 5 weeks less than they expected to finish the project. Sooo, my boss really didn't have much for me to do since he was planning on me being swamped in reports. Yea- I got them done yesterday! So- he tells me that I am going to go to Sandy's office and help with these SBA loans. Fine- no biggie.
OH MY WORD!! "Help with the SBA loans" meant copying the files. Yep the whole file. Un-stapling, copying *in the same order and groups*, re-stapling - repeat. I got there at 10:30 this morning.... that's all I did. My feet and back hurt- and well now I am an "employee on loan" and killing more trees than ever-- I went through a more than a whole box (yes, the big copy paper boxes) of paper. I think that is like 5,000 sheets or something. Crazy. Sick.
Anyway- I am going to go take a nap. YAY!

Picture orders, slideshows. surprises. Birthday- and whatever else life throws in!
Ah-- It's been a busy week. I had Monday off (which was nice since we were gone all weekend with the wedding). I had this novel idea for a surprise for Lynde and Brad that I want to have at their door when they come back from Hawaii. It's almost done (right on schedule).
I was super excited last weekend cause the photographer who did Lynde and Brad's pictures complimented me on my talent and the videographer did the same. He asked for my card because he was interested in a book I had designed for Lynde & Brad and wanted one for he and his wife for their anniversary in January. I was excited, but I wouldn't have been surprised if I never heard from him. I had an email when I got home last Sunday and he hired me to design this album. Now some might not think that's a big deal, but to have two very talented artist- who have an eye and a passion for this type of thing- compliment me on my work was super encouraging!!
It's getting to be time for the holidays kind of erked that the stores have had Christmas stuff out for like a month now and it's not even Halloween. COMON!! Anyway, I have been busy processing orders so people can be sure and have all they want by Christmas.
Ryan's Birthday is next Saturday! :) I have a couple things up my sleeve, so that will be fun! He has to work that day, so we are going to celebrate at night, but I will be busy during the day. Two girls who were in my youth group in Rochester are coming to K-zoo to visit another girl and I am going to be getting together with them! I am super pumped.
All the above means this : MY "TO DO" LIST IS LONG!!
So sorry if I am MIA, sorry if I can't talk on the phone for long, sorry if I don't have time to eat sleep or breath (ok- not really- I will do all those things).
Who knows what else the week will throw at me. I am sure it will be great!

It was the perfect day!

It was the perfect day for Lynde and Brad's wedding. We spent the day on Thursday at the spa and then went to the Royal Park for the Royal Treatment. This suite we had was amazing. About 16oo square feet. Kitchen. Dinning room. 2 Bathrooms. Jacuzi. Flat screen tv. 2 Balconies. It was amazing. I have tons of pictures I am going through. Working on a surprise for them that will hopefully be in their mailbox when they come home from Hawaii. So I will not be around much. Here are a couple pics of our room, and a beutifyl shot of Lynde in the party bus.
Here is our room/ apartment.
This was the main room.

This was the dinning room. There is a kitchen (with fridge micro and all) in that room off on the left. The door way on the right side is the front door (with doorbell) and the main bathroom and powder room.

This is the bedroom. It was beautiful. There was so much natural light and the balcony over looked the paint creek river. (don't ask why I didn't take a picture of that. I don't know why)

The perfect place to hang Lynde's dress
