Frost?!

So I woke up this morning to see the ground covered in frost. And I slipped on ice in the parking lot on my way into work. I didn’t fall at least! But it made me think, “What the hell?!” It seems way too early for me to be slipping on ice!! Ah, Canada. I have no idea why I live up here!! As I get older, I hate winter more and more and fantasize about living in the tropics. Winter is just too long and depressing. Especially since we’ve had literally no summer this year. We didn’t even have a very nice fall! It was too cold and rainy for the most part.

We’ve been keeping busy as usual. Ryan has put the 180 gallon fish tank into the wall downstairs!! He just has some molding on the stand to finish up and make the top canopy for the stand. I’m really anxious to have the guest room finished and the living room rearranged. The downstairs has been in disarray for too long! It will be soo nice to have it done, and it’ll look really awesome when it is. I’ll post some photos soon of all that!

I have ONE WEDDING left to shoot this weekend!!! I’m so happy I survived wedding season! It’s been quite the busy experience to say the least. But now all the tedious work must continue on editing photos and making sure I get all their packages out to them in time for Christmas. The last wedding I shot this past weekend was beautiful. I really loved working with the couple, too. I had previously shot their engagement photos and they had them playing on a slide show for the wedding reception. They even thanked me in their wedding speech and hugged me goodbye! And the bride even emailed me again the day after the wedding to say thank you again! Those little things always mean so much, and it makes me feel like I’m doing my job well. She’s already pre-booked me for her maternity photos and she’s not even pregnant yet!

Speaking of photography, I went and ordered myself the new Canon 7D. I desperately need to upgrade my camera, especially now that I’m doing weddings. I can’t wait for it to come in!! I’m sure I’ll be really annoying with it at Christmas time, bugging you to pose for portraits. hehe!

Well, I will leave you with some photos again. I took these a week or two ago. We had an amazing scene in the backyard!! It had been pouring rain, then the sun came out, but the sky was still really dark, and a rainbow appeared. It was soooo beautiful. And there are also some photos of our dying garden. Lots of tomatoes hanging around. I still have carrots in the garden, too! I picked a bunch for Canadian Thanksgiving this past weekend and I’ll probably pick the rest tonight.

Hope you’re all keeping warm!
