lying in the grass.

one more week. then it's you and i.
every day.

thank God for spring. and for you, dear, sweet boy.

Two weeks.

My time here has almost come to an end and I'm both sad for the ending and excited to begin my new life.
We were approved for the apartment and I can't wait to post photos! It's a dream.
We'll be moving in May 1st.

I've been editing a lot of wedding work and have another wedding coming up next month. Zack's sister is getting married at Myrtle Beach! I couldn't be more excited that they've chosen me as their photographer and we get to see the ocean again!

Currently I'm battling an infected wisdom tooth and it is no fun at all. Hopefully this course of antibiotics will do the trick so that I can focus on work and moving again.
And then working up the courage to have them extracted.

I have lots of Spring photos that I need to post but haven't even had time to transfer them from camera to computer.

Oh, and my 27th birthday was this past Thursday. I was gifted an external flash for my camera from my dear Zackary. I have needed one for some time, but the best gift of all was the card that he made me which I'll post photos of soon. I love that he went right along with me telling everyone that it was my 25th, haha. Time to start going backwards!


Photos soon.

Goodbye, five sixteen and one half.

I thought it was only fair to showcase my favorite part of my apartment.
I'll really miss my giant kitchen, the insane amount of counter space and all of these cabinets!
I'll be officially moved by April 30th and I'm getting excited.
We found an apartment with hardwood floors, a sunroom and a lovely backyard that we're applying for soon.
I'm praying and crossing my fingers that we get it!

I'm shooting a wedding this weekend in Princeton and I'm trying to prepare myself for shooting indoors since it's supposed to snow..
Speaking of, what happened to Spring?

--

I finally finished sowing seeds indoors today so they'll be ready to plant by mid May.
Tomatoes, LOTS of peppers, zucchini, onions, etc etc.
I'm trying to grow a few different kinds of flowers, including poppies this year too. My mom has never been able to grow them so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Big news for me: I started working out four days ago and it feels great.
Myra and I jogged a mile at the Y yesterday! We were so exhausted afterward and I'm still a little sore. Today was my day to rest (other than work!) but tomorrow I'm going back at it!

Only a month to find a second job and get packed up! Time to get busy! :)

BEACH !

Zack and I left for the beach last Saturday and arrived home yesterday.

I can't remember the last time I had so much fun! Easily one of the best weeks of my life.

We spent lots of time with our feet in the sand (my sunburned legs can attest)
and enjoyed lots of good food, including the best falafel I've ever eaten.
And to top it all off, even managed to nerd out in the evenings and made it five hours into Final Fantasy XIII.

We went to the aquarium and I took a few photos there, but my camera battery died soon after and I accidentally left my charger at home.
Therefore, most of these photos were taken with my phone.

Mokins in the backseat.

First day on the beach was chilly!

A nice lady offered to take our picture!

Feeling a little green.

Picked up this sweater from Goodwill last week. :)

Counting days.

I'm trying to enjoy the remainder of my time here.
I finally found out a few days ago that I'll need to move by the end of April.
Leaving is hard, but I feel that this place is what I needed to feel like myself again.
I'll indeed miss my friends, but I can leave knowing that I brought a few people together. :)
and I know that I'll never be too far away.

I plan to settle on a place to move into and start packing when we return from the beach.
I'm excited and sad, but know in my heart that this is the next chapter for me.

For now, ginger tea then off to work.

..but instead.
