So I have a Perfectly Good excuse for not Blogging

Because I went to Utah.
With her.
I was her go-fer girl.
She was the professional.
I carried her camera bag.
Fluffed the bride's dress.
Whispered to her when the bride's hair was goofy.
Warned her when someone was getting ready to walk in the background of her photo.
Reminded her to take a picture of the rings.
Told her to breathe when she was stressed.
Listened to her plan for the bridal portraits.
And generally was the cheerleader.

In between those times,
we gabbed and giggled like teenagers.
Ate lots of chocolate...
Stalked Stephanie Nielsen, of "NieNie" fame.
(she lives around the corner from my mom in Provo)
We actually met her at Nordstrom's.
And acted like star-struck idiots....

I took lots of garden photos...
Being insanely jealous of the cooler weather....
Visiting with my family....

Even the ones who were having a mid-life crisis...
And feeling all teary, gooshy and romantic over the happy couple.
And I can't wait to have another girl trip!

Awesome! Loved seeing all the great pictures and hearing about your fun visit to my home town. Good ol' Provo :)
Girl time is always the best, and I'm glad you had so much fun!

Is there anything more fun than a wedding? (A wedding where you're not the bride's mom or the groom's mom, I mean.)
Looks like alot of fun, Marilyn.

Me too!!

Great times! Glad you had fun.

That's a great reason for not blogging. Everyone needs a girl time with a daughter. I agree with Momza about weddings. We have one week left until my daughter's wedding. It can be a teensy weensy bit stressful.

Oh it looks like you guys had so much.


It was fun that we were are on beaches right next to each other. Bret and Amy didn't know we were coming until the Thursday before you left. We left the next day because my friend I went with, found out her husband was in the hospital. It was super short, but good to get away. Next year I will have to go longer.

I am a Nikon Girl. Love it, is it sad to say its my 4 baby!

If you and Jen want we can all get together and you guys can play around with my camera. I have the D700. Its such a big investment to switch. I still have so much to learn about photography and its quite the camera too, but I love it.

And then I can pick your brain more about gardening, Its getting to be that time of year again :)
