So we are officially one week into summer break around here, and I just had to send out an SOS and let you all know that I AM ALIVE…I SWEAR!

It’s been a couple weeks of no weddings, which has allowed me to not feel too guilty about the time spent away from work and with my boys this week. Balance…it’s a really tricky and difficult thing.  Can I get an AMEN all you other mamas out there?  It is something I will NEVER perfect, but something that keeps me daily on my toes, and especially on my knees knowing that there is no way I can do it all, much less do it all perfectly.  It is the thing that I daily need to ask for forgiveness from my children, my husband AND Jesus.  It is a beast that I so honestly have tried to conquer, yet was left with a broken marriage, major mommy-guilt and not really much to show for it besides money in the bank, and pretty clothes that are all out of style in the matter of about 6 months.  The one thing that I have learned is that when I really and truly give it all over to Jesus, He makes it all perfect.  The fact that I have not blogged well or communicated well or really honestly, in the world’s eyes run my business well over the past year, YET, I still have weddings, I still have AMAZING clients, I still can help with our household income sometimes BLOWS MY MIND, and yet again reminds me that I have no say in all this.  For that I am so so thankful.  That is now where I put my balance.  I love how crazy the scales are off in my life of balance, but how perfectly even life still works out.  Jesus completely upsets the scales.  Jesus laughs at the pursuit of balance.  Jesus has complete control.

So…all that to say we are in the process of working out a “work-week” schedule so that I can get back to being more routine around here and blog all the amazing-ness I have been shooting in the past 4 months.

Yes…it has been way too long.

So sit, tight…those of you who actually still keep up…I swear there is good stuff coming…and I am getting super excited about it.

Hope you all are having a BEAUTIFUL summer’s so far…

eating watermelon, getting some vitamin D and enjoying those late night sunsets with your loves.
