The things that change you

It's been almost two months people.  Married.  For two months.  It's gone by oh-so-fast!

So let me give you a little glimpse into my life right before the wedding.

Honestly, I thought I was super woman.  You know.  Pink Cape. Make-up that never looked out of place. That super woman.  I was planning my own wedding and shooting other people's right and left.  And I loved it all.  It's true.  I loved the chaos.  Loved to see what other people were doing to decorate for their own 'Big Day'.  I just simply loved it.  And I thought I could do it all.

My family thought I was crazy, however.  And I was.  A little bit.  When you love what you do it's hard to tell people no and make time for yourself.  For YOUR 'Big Day'.  Everyone kept telling me, " Alli, you've got to say no".  But I couldn't.  I didn't want to.  So guess what.  God did it for me.  And I look back now and go WOW! 

When I look back I notice a dead stop in the emails.  A dead stop in the brides contacting me.  It's as if they knew.  They could smell in their bride genes that I was a fellow bride.  So they turned and went a different direction.

All that to say God stopped things for about 4 weeks and let me enjoy the last 4 weeks of my engagement.  We got married.  Loved it.  Went on our honeymoon.  (If I was much for abbreviations I would say GORG here... but I'm not) Gorgeous.  And then it's as if he lifted his very large finger and said OK - get at it again. 

Now we're back in the swing of things.  Back in that comfort zone we all love.  Back to making new friends with all my new brides!
