I really do wish that I had photos to share, but alas, I do not. I got to be the 2nd shooter at our friend's daughter's wedding over Memorial Day weekend. I've known her for most of her life, so it was quite an honor to be a part of it. They are a beautiful, Catholic family so I knew how important their 2 hour Mass was to them. I spent a lot of my photo-taking time taking photos of them during that Mass. Unfortunately, I had to turn over all my photos to the main photographer as he is doing all of the editing, so I didn't even get to see any of them. I am eagerly awaiting the finished product - to see if I can tell which ones I took :)
My son got to be one of the nine servers for the Mass. It is always so wonderful to see him in his serious-serving posture.
Here's the lovely couple. (My daughter took both of these pictures, by the way) If you look closely you can see me in the upper left with the camera in front of my face (I'm behind the other guy with the camera!).
Right before the Mass it began to rain buckets. After awhile we had this 10 minute respite so everyone ran outside and threw rose petals. It was quite lovely.
That same afternoon, during the Mass, my mil had emergency surgery so my husband actually missed this part of the day. She's doing a little better now, just slower on the recovery end of things than they were hoping for so any prayers on her behalf are greatly appreciated.
During this same time, we also had a short, somewhat last minute visit from Ms 23 yo's boyfriend. He came in to see her before she starts her new full-time job this coming week! Yay!
The weather has been quite the roller coaster ride around here. We've gone from cold to hot and humid and back to cold again, all with a lot of rain. With the rain comes water leaking (ok, sometimes pouring) into our basement which means the mold goes into overdrive. We're discerning what we need to do about all of this mold business. Hopefully we can come to some clear direction on that VERY soon.
School is over (YAY!!) and I am ready for summer. I started my summer-time to-do list; you know, all of those projects which I hope to complete at some time over the next three months, but probably won't. I'm hoping to get to at least most of them.
This week Ms 11 yo makes her Confirmation. She is taking the name Colette. This I will have pictures of! Prayers for her, please, as she takes this important step.
Essentially, June will be like the last two weeks have been. We have so much on the calendar that it will be gone before I can say...well...June. I will try to post updates here as much as I am able. If I'm not here, I'll be out enjoying that crazy thing I call my life.
God Bless!
