MUCH NEEDED UPDATE!!! I KNOW! lol =)

Well...I have only JUST a few hours ago gotten back into the country and it feels GREAT to be home..It would be better if my husband were here right now, but he is hard at work for us now and I am eagerly waiting his return home, so I can hug him forever and never let go! =)
What a LONG trip home it WAS!!!! I have been in Cancun since leaving this last Sunday. Jen and I went to photograph a beautiful wedding on the beach for a client! They had a wedding of just under 50 people at a resort that was all exclusive (everything meals at fancy restaurants and drinks whenever where ever, were all covered in our stay). We dined the first night we got there at a classy Oriental restraint...It was gorgeous and dim, with deep red napkins and amazing service. The food was covered, so jen and I ordered whatever was on the menu that we "had" to try! The wine was on the house, so I had to keep my eye out because they would just fill it like water without you hardly noticing until you went to take a sip and found that you had only just began AGAIN...lol... It was funny, I learned quickly to sip small and pay attention... The table and decore were wood and the menu's were bamboo things... Each dish came in portion and the presentation was amazing! I felt like I was in some OTHER world...we of course HAD to get desert too! lol That was JUST as incredible as all the other things we savored... When we were threw, we didn't know what to do with ourselves...NO BILL...people just get up and walk out when they are threw...it is SUCH a strange feeling!!! Enough about the first dinner...if I fill you in like this, we will bw here for some time... The room was great...ours was Central (this is VERY nice for photographers by the way!) On our porch I could see the night life/day life, off to the right...the glow of restraints and patio bars overlooking the sea...The Ocean was to my right and EVER SOOO BLUE!!! the sand was very light and the palm trees looked very cool at sunset with not much more then an outline against the waves soft crashing. We stayed pretty busy when we were not sleeping in and ordering breakfast to our room so that we didn't have to get up right away and so I am sure that there was much more to be done or do or see, that I just did not...I really Missed my Nick... BEAUTY is not half as sweet without YOUR perfect someone to share it all with.. I wanted to do and see it all with him. It was still nice, very nice, but I opted out or didn't feel like doing as much without my Nick...Not to mention I was tired and so resting on the hammock on our patio was one of my favorite things to do...until I started getting bit up!! grr.. The wedding was the day after we got their.... The spa was going to do the brides hair and makeup, but they were behind on time, and the bride did not feel like waiting and being late with everything else, understandable... Jen told her that I do hair and also make up and she said she remembered hearing that and was trying to decide what to do... I agreed to doing it for her if she would rather not have to wait (what an awesome spa too...lol...any way) we went back to her room where I did her hair and make up...The spa called a few times apologizing for the time problem and offered to come to her room to do it...she said no thanks she trusted me and had some one good to do it for her already...lol...NO PRESSER RIGHT!!!! It is only right before her wedding and I have never touched her hair! She knows JUST what look and style she wants and I have no practise time to make sure it is what she is looking for...ONE SHOT and she is really wanting a combo of two looks she likes but is like me...has got to have the look just so...lol... Oh boy...I love hair and make up, was happy to do it for her, but there would be no time to fix it if it was not just what she envisioned!!! I acted like I was not worried for her sake and HOPED that I could give her what she described...for mine!! lol It was awesome when she loved it and I even heard from someone later talking to some one else that her hair was something she wanted done a certain way and was a big deal to her...and that she had told them it was JUST what she had in her head.....OH THANK YOU LORD for that!!! It was GREAT to hear that form someone else not just her, so I knew for SURE she was excited about it. She looked stunning...she is sooo beautiful any way, so everything was just extra to her beauty! IT WAS SOOO HUMID...I always thought I knew what that meant...I will now tell you...I HAD NO IDEA!!! lol When we first walked out of the air port...my glasses fogged up THAT MOMENT...and I was sweaty and sticky all at once!!! My sweat shirt came off and I still dripped!!! lol
We did a photo shoot with the bride and groom the next day on the beach...They were in there full wedding attire and we did shots as planned in the ocean and laying on the beach in the sand and with the waves crashing gently against them.... They ran and splashed in the water and we got the best photo's that anyone could dream of taking! I was in the Ocean up to my waist to take some of them! lol WOW...That was a day...I think I had sand down my pants most of the time there because I always have to drop to the ground for a shot here or there of course! The lighting was amazing...We looked at some of the pictures when we got back to our room and not one of them COULD POSSIBLY need any editing or correcting or any touch up AT ALL!!! They were JUST beautiful natural light that we opted to use over our flash when ever we could!!!
The trip back!!!!....!!!... LONG..... We had three different flights to catch on our way home...and turbulence on at least one or two even of those flights...It was exhasting and after one of the flights I thought I might throw up. We were sooo tired. We left at what would have been 5:30 here in the morning, it was 8ish for us I think, although we had to get up earlier and finish packing and getting ready to leave ect.... catch our ride to the airport that was a couple hours long... We got into Sac at 11 at night, and threw customs ect and home by about 2am or so... I slept a couple hours, said good by to the only person I was dying to get home to early and then slept a little more until my alarm went off to remind me to call work and see if I worked...lol...I had thought i would be home earlier and that working the next day would be no big deal...lol...so I told them I could work but had never found out if I did or not...and I was not able to call or tex out the whole time I was in Cancun....so I had to call this morning and find out...I worked in 45 min....! BUT they told me that if I wanted to take the day off, they would be covered and it would be fine with them...I was like...YEAH!!!! Thanks! Sleep! =) Now I am writing this and then I am going to GET some of that sleep! =) Nick leaves for Promise Keepers tomorrow morning! I am soooo glad for him to have a little brake from his INSANE HARD WORKING SCHEDULE!!! I will MISS him more then EVER...but I am so glad for him too, I really hope that it is nothing short of a blessing and relaxing time for him...ANY TIME this weekend Britt could have their little boy...Nick and I are soooo excited!!! I hope the baby comes when Nick gets home, I know Nick wants to be there and I know Shawn would love to have him there too. My Dearest Brittany is going to be a Mommy sooo soon!!!! AAAAAaaaaaah!!! I can not wait!!!! We are soo close to them, it will be amazing to know this little boy alaAaas!!! On our trip a couple of past clients of ours were guests and shared some exciting news with Jen and i over lunch...They are 4 months along themselves!!! Soooo cool! I am so happy for them.. =) They are some of the greatest people I have ever met and gotten to know so quickly...her smile is soo contagious and beautiful!
any way... LONG WEEK... Looking forward to my dearest Britts big day, Shawns too. Thankful to be home! Looking forward to say the LEAST to seeing my Man tonight....WHO BY THE WAY....Left a DARLING COZY NIGHTY HE PICKED OUT HIMSELF FOR ME (THAT I LOOOOVE) and a beautiful bottle of PERFUME that is SUUUUUUUCH A TREAT AND SMELLS SOOOO A M A Z I N G!!!!!

The Lord blessed me with my husband in a way that nothing else in life can be or do! I am sooo grateful right now, to be loved and cherished as I am and to love someone sooo deeply, so richly, so truly myself! I think he is the greatest guy that there ever was, has or will be! Thank you LORD!!! I AM SOOO GLAD TO BE HOME!!!!
