Airports, hotels, and a wedding

What a whirlwind this past weekend was! M's sister got married (FINALLY!) after being together for 10 years C & C got marries in Boise. I was the "official" photographer for the wedding. I was nervous as all get out as I have never photographed a wedding before. All things considered it went really well! The weather was great, most of the people were cooperative, the day went off without a hitch.

It all started for me last friday which went something like this: Get up at 6:30, went o work 1/2 day (until 1 pm), went home to pick up Maggie and load up the car, drive from Hillsborito to almost Gresham to drop Maggie off at my grandmother's, hussle to the airport, check in, disrobe and walk through security... I forgot my cell phone in my back pocket which nearly caused a security threat, grab a bite to eat since it was nearly 3 and I hadn't eaten since 7 am, get on my flight to Boise at 3:45, fly (only partially miserable due to my ears still having fluid on them), get into Boise and wait for someone to pick me up.. not because he forgot (uh huh sure he didn't!) got to the hotel where the women were having the bachelorette party.... Ok, so have you ever been the late one to party where everyone else is mostly drunk and you just feel out of place? That was me. All I really wanted was to have a good hot meal (not a deli sandwich.. no offense) and go to sleep. I was so tired I felt like all I had been doing was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Anywho, the ladies all wanted to go crash the guys party so on our way out of th hotel we ran into the guys and I ended up having food brought to me so I went back to the room to eat and crash.

Saturday was up early and snapping away. I had so much fun taking the pics. I never thought I could do weddings, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. I learned a lot too. The reception was beautiful, the food was good, and our hosts were wonderful.



Sunday was spent mostly in the airport after having Jon's b-day breakfast at Elmer's. Long story short, M was to take the 2 o'clock flight while I was on the 6:30. His was overbooked, I volunteered him to give up his seat so he could get a free ticket, thus taking the same flight as me. It worked out well even though we spent like 5 hours at the airport. We ended up seeing C & C and the girls again and spending a little more time with them which is always great. Got into PDX around 7:15 waited almost an hour for our bags only to discover that mine had come in on the earlier 2:00 flight and his was lost. Yes, lost as in they (Alaska Airlines) had NO idea where it was. Not good. We finally left the airport had some food then parted ways.

Monday I was tired as all get out. Even tuesday I felt I was still in recovery. M finally got his bag delivered yesterday and STUPID FedEx just left it sitting on the front porch of the house! Idiot... Not like it had a fairly expensive camera sitting in it. Arg! Oh well, so all in all things ended well and we are onto another month.

I can't believe I only have 9 days of work left... YIKES! I am excited and sad all at the same time. What shall I do?!

Happy hump day all!

-Ciao! :)
