Day 769

Kicked butt by pulling (2) 5 gallon buckets of weeds out of the flower bed that spans the front of the house (read: TEN GALLONS of weeds are gone!).  I'm proud of myself, haha.  Excited for Friday!  Yes, I immediately thought of this.  Did you, too?

Day 596

I had a great night out in Broad Ripple with Dan, Jim, and Danny.  Saw Mike & Joe perform at the Vogue, but before that, Dan and I played Rock Band onstage and were given free shots (which I named "Chocolate Kool-Aid").  It was a good night!

P.S. If you like Maroon 5's "Misery" google the slower version.  It's pretty good.  I heard it at The Cheesecake Factory of all places. :oP

Day 592

Just another Monday...

Day 555

I received a call from the Make-A-Wish office yesterday.  They asked me to come up to Peyton Manning Children's Hospital today to photograph a little boy (Michael) and his family while having a party for him.  The poor little guy is terminal and won't be with us much longer. :`(  I'm going up there this afternoon for his Iron Man/Laser Tag party.  He's only 6 years old!  This just breaks my heart.  From what I've heard, they all openly talk about how he's going to be in heaven soon, and how he's going to be an angel.  Hope I don't cry while I'm up there today!  Please keep little Michael and his family in your thoughts and prayers over the next few weeks.

(They just want you to sign in with your email so they know who's been visiting - not a big deal.)

Day 477

Of course we chose one of the hottest days of the year to parade around Broad Ripple!  It was time for Cierra's bachelorette party tonight, so it was all worth it!  We had a good time at dinner and then bar hopped the rest of the night.  Some guy named Joe (and his fellas) met up with us at The Red Room, so that was a fun end to the evening. :)

Day 471

Truth.

Happy to have shot a wedding with Steph today!  The first one for 2011!

Day 433

Waiting...

Day 417

I'm thankful for the sunshine, the warm breeze going through my home, and the day off from work.

Day 406

Ryne and I went on a fun double date with Ryan and Brittany to Bazbeaux tonight.  Mmm, pizza!  Half bacon + pineapple, half cajun chicken + red onion.  Pretty darn good. :)

Day 392

It's a dandelion paradise out there!  They're EVERYWHERE!

Day 369

Today was the beginning of my last day at GP.  Weird.

Day 364

...I've almost been doing this for an entire year.  Weeeeird.

Well, my grandma is officially home from the nursing home/rehab.  We took dinner over there and ate as she was getting reacquainted with her apartment.  As if I could ever forget, my stubborn and sassy genes definitely come from her.  Good Lord, it's her way or the highway!  Apparently, if you try and tell a story  that she doesn't want to hear, she'll just turn up the TV.  Patience, patience, patience...my mother has a lot of it. :)

Day 340

I'm doing Stephanie's maternity pictures today, so I hope my creative side is awake and ready!
A few weeks ago, Rachel, David, Ryne, and I went on a double date.  Now I can cross #13 - go on a double date - off of my list of 50 goals for the year! :)

Day 325

Ryne and I got to hang out with the triplets tonight, yay!  They were SO funny and adorable, as always. :)

Day 316

I think it's funny when Cierra and I talk about Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice characters like they're real people.

Day 294

Someone gave me their germs and now I'm sick, yuck!  I'm sucking back the Theraflu like nobody's business.  On a side note:  I would love to know the origin of all of the random sayings we have, like the one I used before.  Could be interesting dinner conversation.  Anyway,  hope you're not sick like me!

Day 290

FYI, men. ;)

Day 272

I made a scavenger hunt as part of Ryne's Christmas gift.  He had to follow about 20 clues all around his house, and it was fun to watch him figure it all out.  A few times I had to stop him from looking in the wrong place (because another clue was hiding in that spot).  I think he enjoyed it. :)

Day 256

I had my most favorite chocolate cake today at my church's Christmas party.  It was delicious, as always.  :)
Currently, it's like a snow globe outside.  We got a few inches of snow, and now the wind is roaring, so it's hard to tell if it's just blowing around or still snowing.  :oP

DJ put that record on
That's my song
------------------------------
Day 209.  I admire working mamas and papas.  Ryne and I made dinner after work, and we didn't eat until about 7:30!  I can't imagine eating that late every work night.  Well, I suppose that's why no one wants to work til 5:00 or later (like me).  :-P
