I should be packing. Instead, I’m blogging. Editing. And Facebooking. We are supposed to be leaving for Hawaii in about 24 hours but I’m not doing anything even remotely close to packing. And to add to my procrastination, I have a list of things that I’m determined to get through before we leave. One of those things is driving to Tijuana to get ice cream. And candy. Lots of Mexican candy. Another thing on my list is getting a haircut and maybe some shopping for cute sun dresses? Heck, I’m even down to go have some lunch or dinner with anyone who is willing to take me. Actually I can’t do lunch, only dinner because I scheduled a photo shoot in the afternoon with a good friend purely for fun and practice. Eddie says I’m completely out of my mind for wanting to do everything before we leave tomorrow but I explained that I can handle it. I promised that I wouldn’t have a meltdown when I start packing, which will most likely be at midnight.
But the truth is, I’m lying. We both know very well a meltdown is bound to happen sometime within the next 24 hours. The fact that we will be gone for ONE MONTH will settle in and I’ll start crying. For a few different reasons. I’ll miss my parents and my friends of course. But really, I’ll be crying because of Lili and Lola. What are they going to do without me for four weeks!? Or better yet, what am I going to do without them!? And then I’ll go outside to get some fresh air and I’ll start crying again because I’ll see Lucky and realize no one is going to take him running for a whole month. And Meeko, the other little dog I have yet to blog about, who will rub his belly and walk him around the block!? And the tears will be rolling. I just know it. But then Eddie will remind me of the stack of books I have on my desk that I said I’d read on the beaches of Hawaii. And he’ll remind me about Megans belly. And that’s pretty much all he’ll have to say to get me to focus. Beach, books and Megans belly.
And that will be that. I’ll wipe off the tears and mascara streaming down my face and say ok, I’m ready to start packing. At midnight. Because really, it just wouldn’t seem right to do it any other way.
So before this little chain of events goes down, I decided to share some images I shot from Rayni and Joels beautiful wedding at the Bernardo Winery a few weeks ago. My adorable friend Katie of Katie Neal Photo asked me to second shoot this wedding with her and I knew I couldn’t pass up the chance. To see the full wedding click here to visit Katies blog.
Enjoy!
Loved this moment between Joel and his dad…
First look 
My favorite.
There were a ton of amazing details to shoot at the winery…
Love.
Have a fab day!
