Insanity.

I have been living in insanity since last Wednesday. Let me break it down for you.

Wednesday I went to work. Drove home on an empty gas tank, got dressed for my friend Madi's bachelorette party in literally 7 minutes, got gas, and then went to Madi's apartment. Went to the airport to pick up her sister-in-law. Went downtown for dinner at Max's Wine Dive and I met Miles Zuniga.

He was sitting right next to me and we talked the whole time and pretty much are now BFF's. Haha, not really but I did share my chicken with him and he bought me a glass of wine and gave me a hug at the end of the night. Have no idea who I'm talking about? Haha, sadly I didn't know who he was until the next morning. Remember that band Fastball? Or this song? It's this guy!

We then we hit up some bars on 6th street and danced all night. It was so fun! :) I was DD, so I drove everyone home at around 2:00 in the morning. Dropped everyone off. Got home and went to bed around 3.

Thursday I woke up, went to work, got home, took a shower and went to Madi and Brian's rehearsal dinner.

After dinner, we went to Twin Peaks and out the rest of the night. Got home around 3:00 and crashed out.

I took off Friday, thank GOODNESS, BUT I had to be up early to go to Madi's bridal brunch at 9:30 a.m. After brunch, we went to the mall where everyone got their hair "did".

After the mall, I went home to a house full of boys playing Call of Duty. They left, and then Drew and I ran a couple of errands. We then came home, showered, and headed to the wedding.
The wedding WAS soooooo fun. After the wedding, everyone went downtown. Didn't get home til 3 and went to bed around 3:30 a.m.

Saturday I woke up at 9, got dressed and had a meeting with a bride. We then went home, packed up my photography gear and headed back to my hometown almost 3 hours away for a photoshoot at 2:30. Got done around 5, went to my Mom's for about an hour and then came BACK to Austin. As soon as we got back, we let the dogs out and then went over to Brian and Madi's apartment and then headed BACK to downtown to go out with everyone...again. At this point, I was a walking zombie. I had Dr. Pepper and Pizza and was a happy girl. We dropped Madi and Brian's friends off at their hotels (they are all from Georgia) and then got home around 2:45 and I then proceeded to CRASH OUT.

Sunday I woke up at 8:30, showered, and headed to photograph a sweet family at 9:30 a.m. After the shoot, we went to the craft store, went to the Camera store in town but it was closed in the morning, so we sat down and chatted about my future purchases for my photography business (eeeeek!!!) and had some kolaches and coffee outside in the rain.

It was a nice little break from all the GO GO GO GO . We then went home and cleaned off my camera cards and charged my camera battery. Originally, I had a bridal shoot at 3:00 BUT it was raining and so we had to reschedule to another day in two weeks. Drew and I THEN went back to the camera store and got everything for my photo booth. We did some research on a few things...and well, I'm hopefully going to have something pretty awesome in my hands very soon. We then headed over to Coal Vines in downtown for a styled Valentine's Day shoot with Inspired Events & Designs and Lindy Floral for Influential Magazine.

I came home, ate some chilly and planned on working on some pictures but my eyes said "I don't think so" and I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up to Drew at 3:30 (he was up studying for his finals) and I walked into my room and went ZZZZZZZZ.

Now, I'm back at work and it pretty much starts all over again.

This is why I've been MIA. I literally haven't even had a chance to get online much at all, or write anyone back. I will be answering my e-mails, I promise! I just have to catch my breathe and recoop.

Happy Monday Loves! I have missed youuuu!!!

So...

This is what I'm looking like today after the weekend I just had.



Mhmmmm...I know, dead freakin' sexy is right.

I'm so sore. My hands hurt. My legs hurt. My eyes burn. What the heck did I do this weekend? It sounds like I exercised too hard but that is def. not the case. Me and food? We friends FO LIFE.

That said, on Friday I got home from work, immediately continued to edit the 1,000's of pictures I have, and Andrew continued on the tile job in the upstairs bathroom. At about 8:30, we packed up and headed 2.5 hours away to see my Mom. Said hello. Hugged. Head hit the pillow and I was counting sheep in no time.

Saturday, we wake up early, take showers (so fresh and so clean, clean) and head off to my Aunt Vic's wedding. She isn't really my Aunt, but my Mom's best friend really. We have always just called her Aunt Vic. Anyway, she got married and I took pictures of her wedding as a present. I'm so nice, I know. ;) Jk. But we had a great time, and it was so amazing getting to see her TRULY happy. I love it!

Wedding is over by 2. Head to my Mom's pack up and BEG convince her to come back home with me because I needed her help OH so badly. Drove back home 2.5 hours.

Red Bull gave her wings.

Got home at 5. Went to Lowes, Home Depot, Target, Anne's Linens, World Market, Kohls, Stein Mart, Ross, Gas Station, Chick-Fil-A, and then finally make it home in time to start painting the guest bedroom. Yes, Erica and Sabrina will be staying in this room and if you saw what it looked like before...Oh my LAWD. Let's just say it looks much, MUCH better now. ;)

We paint, and we paint, and we paint. Andrew is still working on the tile in the bathroom and even puts up a new light in our kitchen. Such a stud, that man.

Go to bed at 2 a.m. Atleast I think it was 2. It might have been later now that I think about it.

SNOOZEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. SNORE. SNOOOOOOOZE.

Oh, it's 7:30 a.m. DRINK CHUG COFFEE like a champ. Mom starts to paint the trim. I decide that that stupid wall in our living room needs to be painted so Drew and I go to Home Depot. He had to get dry wall and screws, as well as some more paint rollers. Get home. Start painting. Hate the color...but I'm too much a cheap-O to go and get a new can. Shoot, paint is pricey! Don't let it fool you...it adds up quick ninja style.

I paint the wall. It looks like a baby came in there and threw up green beans on it. Super. It looks pretty in this pic though. Thank you, Instagram.

Andrew is still in the bathroom working hard.

Mom is stillllllll doing the trim. My Mom is crazy, y'all. Like, seriously CRAZY. She started on this trim (need I mind you that it's coming up when we can save up to put hardwood floors in there) and is painting with a teeny tiny paint brush. So, what felt like 10 hours later was more like 4 hours later. I finally pull her out of the bedroom and we start spray painting our outdoor wicker set because the wicker was basically dehydrated to a crisp! We spray paint...and I probably inhaled a little too much and fried a few brain cells...hence, this post? Ha.

Anywho, we didn't get hardly anything at those stores I mentioned before, so we set out to shop...again. Target (again, because I'm an idiot and got a queen set and not a full set for the bed upstairs), Matress Firm to get a bed frame, Tuesday Morning IT WAS OUT OF BUSINESS (What the heyell?), JC Penny, Another Ross, IKEA, Gas station, Marshalls, Bed Bath and Beyond, Lowes, Home Depot, and HOME. I mean...seriously? Still came home empty handed minus a few pillows...oh and a ceiling fan that my handy little husband put up.

So, for the rest of the evening we continued to work on the house, and I edited pictures until 3:32 this morning. My Mom's alarm clock went off at 4 a.m., in which, YES, I was still awake. Poor thing had to get up to go to work this morning all the way back home 2.5 hours away. Gosh, I love her.

So, yeah. Sorry about my crazy post. This is just a dose of my weekend. Really. There were other parts to it...like say when we waited at KFC for an hour for some stupid chicken because my Mom was craving good ol' KFC but for some reason it took a million hours to get the chicken cooked. I mean seriously? Put the chicken in the grease. Hit the button that says FRY. Bam! Done! (insert chicken noise). Or when I hit my foot on the bed frame really hard !@#$%&* and now there is a bruise and scratch on it. I'm such a baby. Oh, and when I dropped this metal hi-jack bar thing on my toe. Hurt like a mother. GOSH DARN LUCK! Again, just a small dose. ;)

SO!? How was your weekend?
