it has been a whirlwind.  stockholm, packing, moving, france, packing, moving, scanning, editing, planning, unpacking, more planning, more scanning.  oh my goodness.  i have so much to share in the next two months and i apologize for being so secretive - i just want to ensure everything falls into place as i hope.  in the meantime, i have to tell you a few things:

~ beaune is the most beautiful place in france.  ever.  the wedding was so beautiful and i feel like i have life-long friends in marjorie and her beautiful daughter kendall;

~ over the month of may, i think i may have magically become a wedding photographer {polaroids are coming soon - see the aforementioned scanning, scanning, scanning};

~ we closed on our house last week.  at the moment that my kick-ass realtor called to tell me everything was done, i exhaled so deeply that i suddenly realized i had been holding my breath for two months.  i did not have a moment alone in the house to say good-bye and i am pained by this - but i am not sure i would have been able to - so maybe it was better that way...

~ we are going camping.  if you know me, this is a shocking statement.  but believe it or not, i am pretty excited - we leave next weekend and will be spending four nights in a tent and sleeping bags on our way to vancouver.  if the experience is a good one - we will camp on the way home as well.  adie is over the moon and most likely will be telling me to suck it up.

and somehow, without really being acutely aware of the gentle shift, summer arrived.  the girls are out of school, we have been grilling at my parents and swimming - summer is here and she is glorious.

more soon...

I looked at those photos many times yesterday and kept thinking I wish Jen had been around to take ours 11 years ago! I am so excited for all the opportunities that continue to come your way. And yes, you will enjoy camping and all it's glory and yes, you are a wedding photographer.
