Horrible Blogger. Please don't FIRE me!

I've been such a horrible blogger lately! Please don't fire me! Most days, I have not even been on my computer - life has just been too busy for it. Today, I finally feel like I have the time, motivation, and a little creativity to get some stuff done... including the look change (what do you think? I might tweek some more), 2 sets of senior photos were sent off after I finally completed editing them, and even time for a little post!

Of course, there are 200 other things I really should be doing right now (for example: cleaning my house for my guests!) but I thought I'd take a moment and let you know I haven't completely disappeared. So if I haven't been here, where have I been?

• Since I've returned from my extended vacation back home last month, I've been spending a lot of days planning for the new year and attending classes. I have about 7 more days of schedule classes left and will probably have one or two more days pop up for orientation.
• Orientation? Yup... New job. Most of my family and friends know - because it's literally all I've been talking about! But for those of you who don't, I was so fortunate to interview and transfer to a new job (still in the city, but in Manhattan now and not the Bronx). I already feel 1000 times better about this job than I did about my last. I am very confident that the tables will turn and the horrible sick feeling I used to get every morning before work will be replaced with excitement!
• Hanging out with friends... A lot. Summer is such a great time for that!
• Spending time with visiting family. We had almost 2 weeks of parents here and my brother-in-law. It was so nice spending so much time doing family stuff. We'll take that as much as we can get it! (Sometimes I feel like Seth and I are always using our vacation to travel to see family and not to travel just to travel... but after spending time with family, it reminds me how much I value our time together, how important these people really are to me... and I don't think it really bothers me anymore.)
• Photos. Photos. Photos. I did many session while visiting family including 3 sets of senior photos, 3 sets of children, and a portrait session. Which means a lot of work for me editing and preparing the photos! I'm done with 2 seniors and on to 2 of the children sets! Soooo much work (but if you are curious to see some of my senior shots, head over to be a photograph and check them out! Leave a comment to let me know what you think! I love feedback!)

Anyway, now I really need to get my floors cleaned! I just realized the time!! My best friend from high school and her husband are coming in tonight to stay the weekend! I love that this will be the 3rd time we've seen each other this year! The photo above was taken when I was in Florida earlier this year for her wedding... and I thought it would be fun to share :) even if somewhat random!
