Hello Monday.

Hello weather that is such a tease... with rain clouds looming above, there's not a drop of water coming out of them.  Please please please rain, and soon.

Hello really fun weekend at my parents house.  I needed to get away and recharge, and that's exactly what happened!  I had so much fun with both my Mom and Dad, and it felt good to just be together... laughing, exercising, and playing games (of course!)  Plus, I found the Mama of all garage sales and scored some amazing deals for Jaxon's next size up!

Hello being reunited with my hubby... 

nothing beats just being with him in the evenings after the boys are asleep.

Hello busy week ahead!  4 nights of Backyard Bible Clubs (our church's form of VBS), a photoshoot, and lunch/coffee with Molly.

Hello trying to get over Strep Throat for the last 2 weeks.  I finally went to Urgent Care yesterday and got a new antibiotic along with more medicine, so I'm hoping my throat will finally stop scratching soon.

Hello Olympics!!  We don't have a DVR, so it's hard to watch every event, but I have really enjoyed what I've seen so far.  I get all teary-eyed and beam with pride for our country.  I love it!

Hello preparation for yet another trip to Iowa next weekend... this time to photograph a wedding!  I can't wait.  Which reminds me, I still need to find something to wear.

Hello speech therapist coming to our house tomorrow to meet with Cohen.  She really has her work cut out for her, and I am so excited to hear some suggestions on how I can help him.

Hello feeling so overwhelmed with support from friends and family since announcing my business.  

I feel so grateful.

Hello blessing after blessing with finding good deals on Craigslist.  I just bought a SpeedLite for a fraction of what it costs brand new, and the guy had only taken it out of the bag to test it once.
Thank you, sweet Jesus.

Hello wishing I could scoop up all my girlfriends right now for a chat at Starbucks.  I miss my friends!  

And my Sister... but she's a given. 

Hello bike ride this morning with the boys.  It's been SO LONG since the weather has been cool enough to go, and we enjoyed it so much that I didn't even notice we were gone for over an hour.

Hello reeaaallly wanting a big fountain diet coke right now.

Hello reeeaaallllly wanting a girls weekend away with whoever wants to join me.

What are you saying hello to today?  Hope your weekend was a great one.
