I'm still here...

My My My...

I have been so busy. Seriously, chicken running around with his head cut off...BUSY!

I went to Vegas last weekend to shoot a wedding with Erin. It was fun. It was a short trip, but fun. It was fun being a second shooter. I didn't stress about the shots, just got what I wanted...you can view some of my favorites on my PHOTOG BLOG.

I have been busy with photo shoots, and Young Women, and Volleyball, and Flag Football, and Soccer...phew! I've also gone to the temple weekly the past month. Have volunteered in the kids classes, and turned 32. WOW. I am OLD!

It was a fun day! Boy, being on Facebook, so many people wished me Happy Birthday - I have to say, that was fun. My kids were awesome. They woke up early, and without being told, started making me cards. Troy gave them permission (on his way to work) that they could wake me up at 7:30. They came in singing offering their goods. How cute are they? My mom took me to lunch with my girls at Gardner Village and I used her birthday money to buy me(let's be honest, my kids) some new barstools, that I LOVE! THanks IKEA!, a few friends kidnapped me, and we went to the Cheesecake Factory...all I know, is that I need to go back, and get some Red Velvet Cheesecake...seriously? TO DIE FOR! Another friend also threw a breakfast for me! She made YUMMY pumpkin chocolate chip waffles...I want some more of those! Troy managed to make it to lunch with me (I know, it was a 2 day affair) and my Women's Volleyball Team won again! We are currently undefeated. I love volleyball. I don't suck, either. It's so much fun playing a team sport with some GREAT women! Unfortunately Troy and I haven't been able to play tennis much. I'm hoping we can squeeze it in tomorrow.

I also got to see a few friends from BHS (Bakersfield High School) Liz, and Amanda...we got caught up on facebook and decided to meet for lunch. It was so much fun! Here we are (14 years later) at Chick-fil-a. (photo is from my cell phone)

So, that's the quick version.

Things to look forward to:
Next week I have 2 weddings that I am taking pictures at.
San Diego at the end of the month (Brothers, be ready, Family Photos on the beach Friday night...don't even TRY to get out of it).
Doing some shoots for long lost friends...can't wait to see their families and catch up.
Conference. It starts tomorrow...definitely need a pick-me-up.
More Volleyball.
I LOVE my girls in YW.
Peter and LeeAnna and their girls getting sealed.
Hmmm...and the majority of these are just in the next week. I'll try to be better at catching up!

One last photo - my girls at Gardner Village. They do this big Witch thing throughout the month of October. My kids all love it. If you haven't been, you should go!
