I began this year with the intention of posting weekly about my favorite things, and I have been so busy the last few weeks that my “weekly” post has become a “monthly” post at best. I suppose it’s great to be busy, but it’s also important to remind ourselves to take a break. Last week I photographed 2 engagement sessions, 2 events, and 2 weddings, in addition to all of the editing and other work I normally do. By Sunday evening I was out of gas, with just enough energy left to unpack my gear and crawl into bed. So yesterday I did something I never do… nothing! My marriage Monday post was to not post at all- no facebook status updates, no emails, no phonecalls. My hubby and I had a wonderful afternoon strolling around the neighborhood, then grilled a wonderful dinner while the fireworks exploded all over town. It was great to sit back and appreciate a wonderful summer day spent with the man I love. Although I’m back to work today, days like yesterday are a treasure and give me inspiration. I hope your 4th of July was filled with love, good food, and laughter too!
