This week I am gearing up for my first wedding of the season and it's in Iowa.
My mom was planning on coming along so I wouldn't have to leave Story. But I'm already starting to stress about it. All the packing, maps, schedules, unfamiliar places, and wedding excitement is enough for me. I so badly want them to come along but my head will be much clearer if I'm on my own.
Being away from her for two nights will be really hard. Ick. Hopefully it won't be so hard on her! :( I'm used to sleeping about 1 inch away from her... But I'm trying not to think about it.
Lists are starting to scatter themselves everywhere.
Packing for Story and Sully for 3 nights with Nana and Papa.
Packing for me for 1 night with my 'rents and 2 in Iowa.
Packing equipment for Wedding Day.
Grocery list for Sully at Nana and Papa (this boy eats a lot).
Equipment purchases (a GPS(!), new batteries, extra CF cards, lens protectors, and a lens hood).
...
So this coming weekend will be my first of many wedding weekends this summer but it will also be a little break from being a mommy. I'm going to bring a book (probably some kinda "mom" book) to read while I eat out :) by myself. I'm going to paint my toenails(to match my new red shoes!). And I might even soak in a hot tub at the hotel. I will also go to bed early and s.l.e.e.p. all by myself. all night long. I'll most likely wake up a little bit confused, a little bit in pain (I'm nursing), and a lot a bit rested.
Rested.
:)
And then I get to shoot a wedding! How fresh!
