Gearing up, Wrapping up, gearing up, and still going!!!

The last week and half my schedule has been sheer madness. After my back-to-back weddings on Saturday and Sunday I had the amazing opportunity to attend the MJ2DAY seminar out in Orange County. A two day course jammed pack with wonderful tips and knowledge in photography and business, it met all my expectations of what I wanted to learn. Grant it I was exhausted from my weddings and constantly found myself saying, "Did I miss something?", in the middle of her teachings. Processing, to say the least, was a challenge. The morning after I returned at 11:00 pm two of my boys started school, meanwhile my oldest was still in his football hell week and now that I was home I got to be the driver. The following day was registration for my oldest son's first year of high school. From there things get a little blurry as a heat wave was pounding down on Southern California and I still had three more days of insanity left. Friday I got smart and canceled one event knowing I would be of no use to the people involved. Saturday was a full day of cooking and cleaning as it was my turn to host a fancy dinner with my friends that we have once a season. It was a Cajon and Creole theme and was very fitting as the weather turned to south like thunderstorms and jumped to 60% or more humidity. Finally, and the absolute highlight of my madness ended with my oldest son's baptism. What a joy to see him grow into a young man as he took the stand before all our church sharing his testimony and being bold for Christ. The following day he started high school and I collapsed on the living room floor and took a nap!

So, even with all this I could not get my mind off MelissaJill and all that she had to give. I learned more than I can apply during this season in my life and business but have big goals and changes coming my way. One of the biggest things I walked away with is "Systematize, systematize, systematize!" Keep a look out for that topic to hit my blog. It is going to be a crazy one. The other thing that will be a huge change is a new and improved blog. Watch for it!

Here are a few pictures of my week....though I barely picked up my camera. :)

 MelissaJill is an amazing business woman and photographer. Having a spot in her seminar was a huge privilege. She filled me with valuable information I look forward to implementing in my business. I think I need to work on my posture too!  :)

 Themed dinner dates with these beautiful women and their husbands is a tradition we started last year. They are the best.

I love him!!
