SSS - School Supply Shopping!!!

14 days and counting... School will be starting in exactly two weeks - so of course we need school supplies. To the tune of $115 and counting. Today, the first $115 brought us home with a backpack for 2nd grade, a fancy enclosed binder w/ zipper pockets for 8th grade (so we don't lose another calculator), a new caclulator for 5th grade, an assortment of folders, paper, pencils, pens, crayons, colored pencils, erasers, glue, glue sticks, dry erase markers, sticky notes... I think that I just bought out Meijer! And we have only just begun! (Wait a minute - didn't the Carpenters say that?) Any way - we seriously have to still purchase the BIG calculator - it does everything! Basic math, Algebra, Trig, Calc, Science, Chemistry, and I bet that we could get it to tie her shoes! Seriously - all that for a mere $134.99!!! What a steal of a deal! I do believe that Aaron is busy bidding on EBay as we speak - hoping to find said calculator for under $100...

I'm back

Been a LONG time since I've been here - so much going on with life. Fair was so fun. It's always a bitter-sweet ending. Glad to be going home to my own bed, but sad to be leaving for another year. Plans are already in the works for Fair 2009 - crazy - it takes 11 months to plan one week... Kind of like planning for your wedding - a year for a day...

Photographed a wedding yesterday - such a beautiful couple - I love the "newlywed gaze". There is so much hope, love, and life in one look. I love to see a couple get lost in each other. What fun!
