Remembering the little things

Tags: Personal

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
Robert Brault

Since September 4th, my schedule has dramatically changed. I went from being a summer beach-taking, picnic blanket carrying, sleep in to 8 mom, to a full time 50 hour a week working mom. Just like that.

School hit, along with some cooler weather, and bang, fall has got me running like a mad woman! It is in moments like today where I up to my ears in shooting, editing, paperwork and just the normalicies of life that I am reminded to look at the little things.

A few nights ago after dinner, I took our kids out for a walk and we came across an Elm tree that had dropped thousands of acorns. We stopped for a good 10 minutes to look at the mass amount and examine them, stomp on them and throw them! It was in this small moment of time where I was able to look around me and be thankful for the place I was in and the little moments realize how lucky I am and how quickly these moments are fleeting.

May your weekend be blessed

Late June of 2012, Alex and Susie were vacationing in Chicago to explore the city together. Alex made a reservation at a local tapas resturant to replacate the couple’s first date in Minneapolis which was at another tapas restaurant. After enjoying a delicios meal and waiting for dessert, Alex took Susie’s hands in his and said, “Eres el amor de mi vida. Ser mi mujer, la madre de mis hijos, mi companero para siempre. Casa me.” (You are the love of my life. Be my woman, the mother of my children, my companion forever. Marry me.) He then pulled out a beautiful white gold diamond ring from his pocket and awaited Susue’s responce. Utterly speechless and somewhat stunned, Susie responded with a “YES!” while wiping away tears. When thier flan arrived the two were discussing their future together.

A fabulously hot day, these two were such a joyful and fun group to work with. Oh and did I mention, these two know how to throw a party! Susie and Alex, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day. Many, many blessings to you both!

Alex & Susie:: Details of a Women’s Club wedding

Tradition mixed with chemistry. Those were the themes for Alex and Susie’s wedding day. With roots in Spain, Alex brought into the wedding day his Spanish heritage. Details ranging from a traditional toast, hand made Chantilly Lace veil for Susie, Alex’s mother walking him down the asile, a Flanenco dance, handing out gifts to their guests during dinner and an ice sculpture of a bull were just a few of the things that helped create the Spanish mood. Susie’s family, of Sweedish decent, added Lingonberry tarts, sweet potato cakes, a polka, and a couples table beneath an arch of flowers. Not only were the two full of tradition, but they both incorporated their love of chemistry by having one of their professors marry them and adding the chemical elements to the place cards.

Other details from the purples to the lace to the Women’s Club itself radiated the beauty of the couple! More to come tomorrow!!
