I am completely over this 100 degree temperature and ready to be putting my boots on and throwing some scarves over tshirts and sweaters to take in the Fall weather.... it cannot come soon enough!
Neeley and I saw the most ridiculously amazing pair of Steve Madden Army Boots with ikat stiching inside that we each put on layaway at TJMAXX in hopes of Fall coming all the more quickly.
We have been busy with the arrival of several family members the past week. The Nashville Blanton clan came down and spent some time visiting with Nana and Mom and yesterday Aunt Cindy came into town. I love the distraction out of towner's bring with them and all the wonderful meals Nana cooks for them.
Last Friday was Lane's Birthday. He had just come home from spending a week working in Nebraska so the four of us went out for a quick Tex-Mex dinner before he had to finish his last homework for the summer semester.
This week I am beyond busy with photo sessions every other night. I am incredibly blessed to be able to use my passion as a way of earning some extra cash and am looking forward to a couple of unique sessions this week, including shooting Neeley's bridals! Being able to hide behind the lens will be a wonderful distraction to keep me from bawling my eyes out when I see her in her full wedding attire! No doubt those photos will be stunning and not because of me!
The best news of all to share is that Mom's divorce is FINALLY OVER! Any of you who read this today will know before she does because I am selfishly waiting until after work to tell her in person. After the million emails back and forth, days of feeling completely overwhelmed and out of control, days of crying because I hate that she has had to fight this battle are now all finally behind us! We will just now have the issue of him holding up his end of the bargain, a very little end it is but the official end has arrived! I am so beyond excited to tell her the news in person and see her emotions! The lord has heard cries of desperation and has saved us!
