I have seriously had very little deep thoughts lately. It's kind of sad, but I do have a great explanation - that I will take time to explain some other time. But for now, I'm going to talk about something else. My birthday is coming soon. This year for my birthday I decided that I wanted one of the paintings that Joel and I purchased on our honeymoon (like 3.5 years ago) to get professional preservation framing. I'm very excited about it. I can't even explain why - because it's been in the back of my mind to get it done since we've gotten married, because I want to display it in our house, because I like the painting, because the painting holds special significance - plenty of reasons...but we are finally getting it framed professionally. It's a good birthday present. We have one more to frame too - I think I will request that one be my Christmas present. ha ha. (seems that's the only way I can get them framed)

I have wedding #2 to photograph this weekend. I'm looking forward to it. I'm spending today and tomorrow preparing for the ceremony. Then next week, I'll spend most of the week working on the pictures from wedding #2. Next weekend I'm doing wedding #3. That one will probably be less work, because it's a small wedding. I also have a friend coming in from out of town next week for a brief moment. Joel and I are going to try to squeeze breakfast in next week with them. Hopefully it will work out. I have a busy couple of days coming up. If you guys think of it, pray for me please? This next week and a half is going to wear me out. Pray that I have the strength to get everything done well with out falling apart!!

PS - yay for the Olympics. They're fun. I like them. (Just in case you were wondering)
