WELL!  Its been quite a while since I have been able to write a Manic Monday blog post!  If you didnt read before, my blog space was FULL and I was at a stand still as far as blogging images for my clients!  It has been really frustrating, but I finally have been given some extra space(thankfully!) I still have a lot of great things coming to the blog so stay tuned!  AND….I have a pretty important job that I will be working on in the very near future and I am super excited about it!  Keeping it a secret until then so you’ll have to wait for it. 🙂

I must confess also…I totally missed April’s 15 on 15 🙁  I was so sad when I looked at the date and realized it was the 19th!  I cant believe I missed it.  BUT, now that Ive gotten everything straight for the time being with the blog, I will definitely not miss May’s 15 on 15 🙂

These last few weeks have been pretty busy and the next few are going to get even more busy(weddings, engagement sessions, birthday parties, end of the school year parties, and lots of other little projects I have going on)  It never seems to end!  My hope is that by the end of June things will have settled down a little bit so I can enjoy the summer with the kids.  I am so proud of myself because I have really been making it a point to stay on top of editing so that I dont fall behind during this busy season.  I proudly say that I have been doing a great job of it(not getting as much sleep as I should, but if thats what it takes!)  So, Im going to just give you a recap of what April looked like…I cannot believe that May is already here!
