My parents are snow birds.
They are retired and way over the long Minnesota winters.
They can’t really fly but they do drive to their second home in Mesa, Arizona right after we open presents on Christmas Eve (not really but practically)!
They leave behind the snow, ice, and freezing temps for three months and get in as much golfing, hiking, and biking as they can.
They come back in April with a very nice tan.
I am happy for them because I know they enjoy their time in Arizona…but I do miss them while they are away!

I ate cake for breakfast.
And popcorn for lunch.

I spent Saturday morning with this little guy.
Ridiculously cute, adorably fun, and sweeter than you can imagine.
I love my new job!

A bride in California wanted to hire me! In California! She found my website from Once Wed and emailed to say she loved my website, photos, and asked if I would I be willing to travel to California?
Ummmmm, YES!!!!
We emailed back and forth for a few weeks — I found out all about her, her fiance, and their wedding and it all sounded lovely. I really wanted to get the job…I was so excited and kept sending positive thoughts into the universe and everytime I checked my email. I felt confident with the quote I sent her and hoped it would work out…but in the end they decided to go with a local photographer (because of travel fees).
I just found out this morning and I am really really bummed.
Rejection sucks — it is definitely going to be a part of this new business of mine and I know that in time it will get easier…but these first real rejections, out on my own, just plain sting a little bit more.
But it will be okay and I am going to be okay. Because, I know that I am finally doing something that I enjoy.

Look at that slightly out of focus moment of pure joy! I can see the love.
Biggest perk of the job — being surrounded by love and happiness every time I go to work!
