Meridith Monday’s Vol. 39

I just haven’t been able to keep up with blogging so this weekly post may turn bi-weekly for a little while.  Bare with me as I have a lot going on between freelancing in NYC 5 days a week, photography work, my mom still in rehab and my father getting open heart surgery in 2 weeks.  It is a lot to handle, but I am keeping up and looking forward to spring and summer as you can see by my photos this week!

Anyway on a more cheerful note over the past 3 weeks I:

  • Wore Neon Pink to try and channel spring, it’s coming sloooowly but surely:)
  • Met with 2 wonderful couples about their wedding photography!  Both couples are planning smaller, more intimate weddings at venues I would love to work at.  I’m so lucky that I get to meet and work with couples who do not necessarily do things the way everyone else does when it comes to their wedding.
  • Photographed a small and really personal wedding at Hotel Bethleham, a gorgeous historical building right in downtown.
  • Went to Costco the day before Easter and it wasn’t too bad- I got there 5 minutes before they opened so I think that helped.  It’s always a zoo in there.
  • Had a wonderful Easter Dinner at my mother in laws with my sister, dad, Kelli and baby Luke – who is getting bigger already!  Luke and Chris bonded over snuggles and feedings, too cute.
  • Photographed the Allendale Womens Club annual fashion show at Seasons.  What a fun filled event that benefits a different charity every year, this years charity was Family Promise of Bergen County.
  • Watched Syracuse win and loose, it was a good year though and GO ORANGE!
  • Watched the Season premier of Mad Men.  I can’t get enough of this show and now that we are all caught up I have to wait 7 days until the next episode!
  • Found out our 2 best friends are having a baby in September!!  I can’t wait to meet him or her, we are super excited for them both and to become and Aunt and Uncle again.
  • Watched Brave, which was really a cute movie for kids and adults too;)
  • Read 3 more Nora Roberts books and this Janet Evanovich book – maybe I’m just a romantic at heart.  I never really thought I was though- ha!  I love the fact that I don’t really have to think too much when reading these books and it passes the time on the train.
  • Wrote 7 blog posts and have them scheduled over the next 2 weeks – I’m taking advantage of scheduling things on my blog and facebook page.  It really helps me get things done!
  • Purchased a basil plant for the kitchen window – I cannot wait for basil and tomatoes!
  • Ordered this new front door mat– it’s so cheerful and fun!  I love it.

Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to meeting you and your favorite people!
