Photo of the Day


I took today's photo last night of my parents, and I absolutely love it. I'm putting together a page on our wedding website that introduces people to our families since not all of our friends have had the opportunity to meet the whole group... mom likes another shot better so I am using my blog to still get this one out there :o)

Wedding Updates

Well we officially set a date and location about a week ago now... 18 September 2010 at Bluewater Campgrounds in Lexington, MI. That is the place where we met a little over 4 years ago. We also set up a wedding website through theknot.com where we can keep people posted on the plans as they develop (http://www.theknot.com/ourwedding/RachelvanRossum&AustinThorp)

I also had my first wedding nightmare last night... I'm chalking it up the the stress I've been under this week (not wedding related) and the fact that I spent from 3.30pm on yesterday sick in bed, but it was a terrible dream nonetheless. I dreamed that somehow invitations for the wedding had been sent out (I hadn't even seen them, no idea how they got out or why we knew about it) and they had the wrong year on them (2009 instead of 2010) and so the whole dream took place on 18 sept 2009, with me stressed to the max and crying my eyes out because absolutely everything was wrong... there was no photographer, we were getting married in a small chapel in a shopping mall (like in the hospitals how they have a chapel room, only we were in a mall... I don't know either...) no one had brought my jewelry, my dress hadn't been touched at all so it didn't fit quite perfectly and it was still covered in lace, and most of our guests were unable to make it due to the extremely short notice. I was absolutely beside myself.

So here's to that not becoming reality and here's to me feeling better today so that I think I can make it into work this afternoon (had to call in yesterday only a half hour before my shift... that was AWFUL I hate doing that and try to avoid it at all costs but it really couldn't be helped yesterday, I was super out of it)... just needed somewhere to get the dream out of my system so I can not get hung up on it! Yikes!

Photo of the day - A Dedication


One of my readers occasionally posts fun "shadow portraits" of herself (as I like to call them), so I thought I'd dedicate this post to her and do the same :o)

I took this photo sitting on a bridge in the park near our house (Firefighters' Park). It was a gorgeous fall day and dad and I took Micah to go run around. Clearly I was tired of running around ;o)
