I think, if I ever retire from wedding photography, I’m going to take up as job as a meteorologist. After watching our weathermen and women over the past few years, I’ve decided the only apparent requirements are a) the ability to gesture at a large map-aka-green-screen behind you, 2) a general idea of the approximate season you’re currently in, and 3) a complete lack of abashedness when you predict 5 inches of snow and the entire region prepares for the worst [snow trucks on the highway, school closings, the works], only to wake up in the morning and find the same bare ground that was there when you went to bed. I think I’ve got a pretty good chance of making it! I just need to work on building my stash of cheesy precipitation-related jokes.

This weekend was one of the best Matt & I have ever had. It was one of those few, rare treats, two days where we had almost nothing urgent to do, so we spent a lot of time curled up on the couch watching old episodes of White Collar (my newest obsession- we watched all six seasons of LOST last year, one right after the other, and I shudder to think of how impatient I’d had been if we’d had to wait a week in between each episode like everyone else!). My thoughts lately have been strangely peppered with suspicions of bank heists and art thefts. Weird.

As always, things that happened over the weekend!

• We’re trying this new thing of letting Lily sleep in our room instead on holed up in her crate. We don’t want her sleeping on our bed though, because Matt’s already pretty tall and I move around a lot, so we bought her this cute little puppy bed cushion thing. She still seems to prefer our Tempur-Pedic, which means surprise wake-ups due to Lily landing on my head in the middle of the night. We’re still working on it…
• Last night I learned that we shouldn’t run the washing machine overnight, because it makes loud thumping noises every few minutes, leading my overly-paranoid self to believe we’re the target of an in-home invasion. Matt made a trip downstairs with a 9 iron to make sure everything was fine… and it was.
• I’ve started doing all of my client meetings at our home, which is a huge stress-reliever in some respects (for example, I no longer have to worry about showing up to Starbucks an hour early to reserve a seat for the couple and myself), and then a stress multiplier in other respects (“Matt!! Why aren’t any of the Pinot glasses clean? I NEED THE PINOT GLASSES!”). All I know is that I have the best husband in the world to calm me down when I’m stressing over whether or not I have enough varieties of cheese to choose from.

Also, I’d like to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone that read, shared, and Pinned the “Mythbusters: Wedding Photographer Edition” post last week. I had a record high number of hits on my blog last Wednesday! You guys rock :).

Aaaand one more sneak peek of the styled shoot I previewed last week!

Happy Monday!
