can you ever really be sick of weddings?

maybe when you are a month away from being 30 and you don't have a boyfriend...

enough about my personal life.


So, last weekend I was the videographer for my friend Kristin's wedding and tonight I was the photographer for my friend Adam's wedding. I'm quite the wedding hopper these days and yet I am always versitile in my responsibilities with all I do...bridesmaid, scripture reader, program handerouter, present table bouncer, videographer, photographer and more. It really is quite the adventure.

Last weekend I was in Texas. It was such an amazing time. I saw people I haven't seen in SO long and was so blessed by my friends now husband's family and friends. It really is something when a bride and groom center their relationship around the Lord...it was so evident and such an encouragement to me and I know to many others. It was too bad all the groomsmen were married...I'm not even sure if there was a single guy at the wedding....plenty of us single girls.
here's a picture of the Modesto girls with Keith and Kristin:















Tonight was a wedding in Lodi. It was quite different. A good friend got married and it was quite chaotic. It was all planned last minute and mostly by the groom-who knew? I felt a little bad for the groom's family because they put a lot into the wedding, including money and it was obvious that it was not as appreciated as it should have been. My heart is a little sad by that...to see a bride arrive 2 hours late, and make guests wait for her to take over an hour to get ready. It was a little frustrating but it all worked out. My organizational self just had a hard time relating to that kind of attitude, especially to those who had done a lot for you...oh my. It was such a lovely wedding and they had a blast. I hope it was as great as everyone had anticipated and I hope all the pictures are to their liking....oh pleasing people....
what has become of my life...
oh wait...I've always been a people-pleaser.

the gypsy life

Today I leave for yet another place to lay my head.
Since I left Arkansas about a month ago, I have slept in 12 different places.
The gypsy life is not very glamorous. I'm really ready to settle somewhere soon....
another few weeks and about 4-6 more different sleeping locations.

you really learn a lot about a person by the way they live and the food they eat.

more to come.

back in california


So I've decided to finally start an actual blog that is my own and not myspace or facebook or what have you.

I recently moved back to California although living as a sort of gypsy out of my car until I settle somewhere soon. I graduated from John Brown University on May 5 and now it is obvious that my life has started. ha. I'm happy to be back in California but a little part of me will always miss Arkansas and the 2.5 years I spent there.

I just wanted to get this rolling, but I will be back and hopefully often.
