Hello friends and happy Monday! This week’s feels are going to be a little bit of a let down compared to last week. Since last week was NEW YORK themed. Womp, womp. We’re still riding the high of our little vacay and talking about it every chance we get. So forgive me if I’m just a little bit less peppy this week :]

There’s still lots of good though! We arrived back in our sleepy town on Tuesday evening and life has felt quite full since then. As far as our work with college students goes, things look different in the summer! Everything gets packed into one night a week and this past Wednesday was my week to head it up! So I spent a good bit of Tuesday night and Wednesday catching up on work and prepping for Wednesday night. We’ve got a small, but wonderful group of students around for the summer and I’m so thankful to get to see them every week! I also packed in some client meetings with some lovely 2018 brides and a bridal shower and a girls’ night and some time with my sister while she was in town! Phew. It’s a good thing we’re home most of June to make time for all that goodness :]

And, of course, Ollie was there. He’s been a little pitiful this week. Between his new found fear of the doctor’s office and being totally off his normal schedule, he’s been an emotional ball of cute. Also he loves to feed the dogs. I shouldn’t think it’s funny, but I do.

This week was also my reunion with Abby Grace! I started out my career in wedding photography thanks to her and got to second shoot with her for about two years! And somehow it’d been threeish years since we last shot a wedding together. It was a perfect reunion, complete with Harry Potter references, obscure movie quotes, and times that Abby sang at the top of her lungs (both when music was on and when it was not :]). If you want to see a preview from Dave and Elizabeth’s day, head over to her instagram! I can’t wait until she blogs it!

And now for some feels:

• Actual sentence out of David’s mouth this week: “Should we be pursuing some type of modeling for Ollie? It seems unloving to the rest of the world not to…”
• When the maid & matron of honor’s toast includes a Harry Potter quote that is actually from the Bible? So good. And they noted how good it was by calling it a “two-pher.” Aka a word David says CONSTANTLY! I was holding back sobs of laughter.
• Things that make me shower and do my hair and wear real clothes? Client meetings….and weddings….and sessions. That’s pretty much it :] I had a lot of events along that vein this week sooooo my self care was on point.
• David and I fell asleep on the couch this Saturday when I got back from the wedding. Which isn’t super abnormal…but what was weird was waking up to my sister coming out of her room at 4AM to go on a sunrise hike and telling us to go to bed. We were so confused at how it became 4AM. There’s nothing quite as disorienting as waking up with all the lights on.
• Ollie’s love affair with Chipotle is still for real. He just gets happy when we’re there. And his love for rice is unparalleled. This week he squeezed it between his fingers and smooshed it on his face. See proof below.
