Tidbit Tuesday #70

He tells me it has caffeine. That I shouldn’t have it because it’s already 10:30PM and he’s three blinks away from the best REM cycle of his life. Apparently, my late night Fanta drinking bothers Dylan. Because on any given night, Dylan crawls into bed at 10PM, and I JUMP into bed immediately after. It’s not because I’m at all tired. But because I just like being near him. And because I like keeping him awake with my sing-song original poetry and super deep questions about the meaning of life. To add Fanta into the equation? Well, he would just LOVE that. Love.

Speaking of.. Last night, while trying to sugar-down, I spent some time with Calvin & Hobbes. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Hobbes is Calvin’s stuffed tiger who is basically human to Calvin, but just a stuffed tiger to everyone else. Which reminded me of my stuffed bear, Jesus, from many many years ago. I hugged Jesus when I was scared. And when I thought the wicked witch of the west would grab my ankles if I didn’t jump on my bed quickly enough. Don’t hate.

This past weekend, we shot our first ever doubleheader wedding weekend. I cannot tell you the amount of stress I’ve had leading up to this weekend. Any wedding photographer can tell you how incapacitated they are for up to 24 hours after a wedding. Your body is completely shot. So TWO weddings? In TWO days? That sounded pure cuh-raaazy. But I can now thankfully say, by the sheer grace of God and my increased number of gym visits, I have survived! And our amazing couples were SO worth it. As were the cakes. :)

Yesterday, I broke down. About my hair. And about how it’s not growing long enough, fast enough. Dylan calls it “spiraling.” You know, when one thing upsets you, like your hair, and then it turns into the fact that all the girls at yesterdays wedding had killer heels and dresses and super long flowing locks and you don’t? All I can say after that episode, is thank you God for giving me a man who loves me despite myself and can laugh with me after the fact.

Photographer Spotlight: Our darling friend Amber Jacoby. Suffice it to say, we’ve been email buddies for a little over a year now, but hadn’t met face to face until this past Thursday when Amber made her first ever trip to Houston to spend the better part of a week with us! Eating with us, shooting with us, and seeing how truly and terribly we spoil our dog. We are so sad to see her head back to her home state of PA this afternoon. But we are so thrilled to know her, love her, and be a part of watching her grow as a photographer. Check out her website HERE, and then head on over to her Facebook page and give it a like!

Song of the Week: Son’s Gonna Rise by Citizen Cope. I’ve gone SOO old school lately. But with Son’s Gonna Rise, you really can’t go wrong. Truth be told, I just like singing “She my wifey in the middle of de-liv-er-y.” I’m so legit gangsta’ I can barely stand it.

I leave you with small peek of what’s to come this week. :) And now, I’m off to get my Cha-Cha Slide on. Then my Cupid Shuffle. Because I don’t know them, I’m a wedding photographer, and apparently Amber has some pretty boss dance moves.

Happy Tuesday!!
