A Few of My Favorite Photos, Lazy Wednesday, Busy Thursday

The option of working from home was definitely a divided house! Some liked the idea, some were totally against it, and some were like me - okay part-time but not full-time. It's definitely an interesting concept and yes, Therese - we worry Reuben is getting spoiled with Austin being here so much!! I hope your pup is okay when he starts the new in-an-office job!

So I think i've told you before about my bro-in-law Zach, the photographer, and how obsessed I am with his work! He did my engagement and wedding pictures, and so many of my friends, co-workers, etc. have hired him too, which makes it very cool and extra special for me! In the month of May alone, my friend Monica hired him to do her first-year anniversary pics, Stacy had him do her engagement pics, and Mary had him take her baby Emma's baptism and first-year pics. I thought i'd share a few because i'm SO happy with how they turned out, and of course, am glad my friends are thrilled with them, too!

Stace & Shane's engagement pics

He got so many great moments - this is 1 of 100! :)


Mon, Andy and Puppy Reina - don't know how him and my sis got Reina to pose/smile like that!
I mean really -be cuter!
Baby Emma at her party
At her baptism
Am pretty in love with this shot! Can't believe he got it because he really wasn't allowed to get very close in the church - perfect timing though!
Sigh. I like nothing better than looking at wonderful pictures of my peeps! Check out Zach's site or blog if you'd like to see more - I'm mucho impressed with his pics (clearly i'm bias, but regardless I think he's super talented!!).

Back to regular programming, Wednesday was a busy one! I worked, ran errands during my lunch break, worked more/late, then ran home, did a bunch around the house and before I knew it it was 9 o'clock - no gym for me! I decided to make it a break day and me and Austin catched up over a few drinkies. Great, impromptu evening! Good to get a pulse on how his new job is going - even though he was only 3 days in! I ended up at 2,015 calories, 184 carbs, 49 fat grams and 109 protein grams. Here's what I ate and drank.

Today has been super busy - lots of work, errands during lunch again, lots more work, laundry, decorating and cooking - who knew i'd turn out to be so domestic? Now I'm about to get ready to go have a drink with Chris and Katie - we haven't seen them in forever! (forever = 3 weeks) I'll post my stats tomorrow! I'll also post:
  • A book review of Fluke's The Fudge Cupcake Mystery (finished Saturday in NY)
  • A book review of Roberts' Naked in Death (finished yesterday in the car)
  • A pic of the new Breakfast Bake - I think the cord is at work so i'll check tomorrow!
  • A new recipe i'm cooking tonight - Green Chicken Chile Casserole
Do you have a favorite photographer? I do! (thank you, captain obvious)

Do you ever have professional photos taken of you, your family/friends/pets/etc.? We plan to have photos taken at our new house soon with Reuben. I also still want to do a trash the dress session - why not?!
