We Now Interrupt...

Dear Anonymous...I'm back. :) {I guess people really do read the blog...even, if it's you Grandma} :)

Truth be told, I may or may not blog during my conference period at school...well, that and the fact that this lil' photography business of mine has kept me far busier this summer than I probably deserve. I absolutely LOVE it, and can't wait to see what the future holds for that. I've been so busy that I haven't been able to keep up with much of anything, so if you're looking for my most recent photo shoots, the best place to find those is to become a fan on Facebook! :)

Moving on...We've had a great summer and now it is officially over. Joe returned to football practice on Monday. Hence the title of this post. I need to go dust off my favorite pillow and put it back out on the couch...You know, the one that says 'We now interrupt this marriage for football season'. It is the truth. I've probably seen Joe for a combined 2 hours all week? Otherwise, I'm forcing my hand out from under the covers to wave bye to him in the morning or I get to see him for a few minutes before he collapses from pure exhaustion. In case you've been under a rock in the last month, Texas is hot y'all. Ridiculously hot. I've had 2 friends post on Facebook about a can of coke exploding in their car or a tube of apoxy or something busting. Seriously...where is Fall?

I figured I better share some pictures, so that y'all know Trey and Em are still alive and kickin'. That they are...more like alive and sprintin'...they keep you on your toes!

We've spent lots of time in the pool...

Trey's a high flyer!

Emery, on the otherhand...cleans the side of the pool.
Trust me, she doesn't get it from me...

When Joe and I went to Coaches Outreach...
The Grandma's took Trey and Em on their first airplane ride...
Who do you think was a scaredy cat?! It wasn't Emery!!

A couple of weeks ago, I got to go do a college senior shoot at aTm.
It was for a former student of mine, and we had a great time...
Joe grabbed this shot of Trey...LOVE it.

Okay, okay...I'm almost done. I figured I better make it a long post for my comeback. Last week was our last true FREE weekend until....hmmm, probably NOVEMBER. So, what is one to do?! Oh, you know...tear out the carpet in the study...lay new wood flooring...paint...new baseboards...that's all. One day, it'll be my lil' office for my business. If anyone wants to throw in a Macbook Pro with all of the Adobe fixin's it would be well received. JUST KIDDING. Anyway, here are a few pics of the remodel. It's not all put back together yet, but it's getting there.

The left is the start...right, is the work in progress

The current state...
Just have to finish up the baseboards and lay the quarter round...
And find the perfect white antique desk, and shelves, and pictures...but hey, who's keepin' track?

Up next for this blog? Probably the Fall blog makeover...a girl can wish, right? Maybe it'll bring the cooler temps with it. Oh yeah, and my therapy for the fact that I will have a kindergartner in 2 weeks? Don't get me started.
