holy cow, I am overwhelmed

So the overwhelming response about the vlog idea was yes. The vlog is a go. (I got the idea from my friend Emily. I know alot of people do the whole video thing on a regular basis, but she is someone I know and had not seen in a really long time because she lives on the opposite side of the country. Plus it was cool to see her laughing with her friend Jamie, who I have never met.) Trevor is excited to talk to you all.


Piper is up to her usual tricks :)  She is the most amazing little person, and I love her sense of humor. From the minute she gets up in the morning, up until the time she goes to bed, she makes me smile and laugh. She brings so much joy into our life. I can't believe how grown up she is. Even when she is being a whirlwind of mess making and doing things like coloring on our furniture with crayons (they were washable, thank God), she's darling, and I love her. She's still sleeping on an air mattress because of a mix up with the parts of her bed, and her dresser is still in process, and the whole house really is in a state of productive chaos. It is making my OCD senses tingle. You can see some of her art wall in the pictures. The whole room will take some time to come together, and I am comfortable with that. I would rather let a space evolve over time then try to get it all together at once. I realize that would drive some people crazy.


As far as work goes, I am totally overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done, but totally thankful to have the opportunities that I have right now. Tyler secured two large wholesale orders for Lightnest bags that will go to brick-and-mortar shops in the Atlanta area. I am very excited about this and really, really proud of both owners' enthusiastic responses to the bags. Very cool. Indie Craft Parade is in five weeks. I can't wait! I love this market. It was an awesome experience last year, extremely well planned, and had  a HUGE audience.  I am really looking forward to being part of it again this year. And... I am photographing two more weddings soon! Shane and Kristin are marrying on August 27th, and Austin and Amanda Kay are marrying on September 4th. Both will be beautiful. Etsy has picked up a little, but is still not where I want it to be long term. But that's really okay; I have all that I can handle right now. I am 15 weeks pregnant tomorrow!! Almost halfway! Well, sort of. I am really exhausted. But thankful.


And my husband... he is getting ready to being his final year of law school. Law school has been hard. But I am so proud of what he has accomplished.  God has been so kind, so generous, so faithful to give us these gifts. He can argue motions and do some other things this coming year under the third year practice act. But he can explain all that to you on his vlog. I am so hopeful for our future. I have no idea where we'll end up, but I am eager to see where God takes us. 


Get ready to meet Trevor! Be back soon.
