This summer has been one of the best ones we’ve had in a long time. In fact, I’d say it ranks right up there with college summers falling in love with Chris! Making our house our home…playing outside with Ryan…going on family walks…traveling to Cleveland/Michigan/Louisville/Bloomington/Michigan again…diving deeper into what life as a family of THREE looks like…it’s been a crazy mess of love and has me eagerly awaiting the rest of our days to come!!

The first half of September I’ve mostly saved for family time: Chris and I are celebrating our fourth anniversary, his birthday, and my birthday all within a span of 9 days! But once that third week hits, busy season picks back up, and I know it will be hard to balance it all. I’m learning it’s okay to say “no” to different things in different seasons, and I’m hoping to choose wisely in regards to where I spread my time.

With that, here are a few things I’d like to accomplish:

• (hopefully) finish & launch my new website!!!
• revise my bridal guide and print for 2017 brides
• order at least 1 Chatbook for Ryan’s instagram photos (#ryanjamesO is my favorite browsing pasttime)
• print photos from our summer family photos with Emily!
• go to at least one high school football game
• have at least one date night out with JUST Chris!
• celebrate my 26th birthday (!!!!) and our FOURTH anniversary!!!!
• actually TAKE Ryan’s 8 month photos (I’ve skipped the last two months….oops…)
• organize my office room
• photograph 2 weddings!

Happy September, friends!!
