Summer of Us

Wow, it's been quite a while since I've put up a blog post. I guess you could say that life lately has been pretty uneventful, which I suppose isn't a bad thing. Actually, I've stayed quite busy with my photography, and Eric has been helping out at his parents' house and around our house as well. In fact, some nights we hardly see each other until it's time for bed.

About a month ago, we decided that this summer would be the "Summer of Us". We will hopefully (literally all fingers and toes crossed on this one) be pregnant soon and bringing a baby home at the end of it all (everything double crossed on that one as well). Our time of just the two of us with a somewhat carefree schedule should be coming to an end by next summer.

What does that mean for us? It means that it's a "say yes" summer. If friends want to do something, we are totally doing it. Cardinals game? Yep, that's on the calendar. Trip to Chicago to see some friends, we are already on it. Taking an evening off to just enjoy each other and the sunset, you bet that we have plans for that too. I'm cutting back on the number of weekend photography appointments that I'm taking this summer and fall to make sure that I make time for family, friends, and most importantly, me.

And all that started last weekend when we got together with Doug, Ashley, and Chuck to grill out and spend time on the lake. We couldn't have asked for a better night. I killed two birds with one stone seeing a best friend and also cuddling on her babies (though B was about the only one still up for cuddles. Em and Aug are getting too big!). Thanks for taking us out on the lake Chuck! The Summer of Us is off to a great start!
