It seems my little blog has become somewhat neglected this summer. I suppose that's a by-product of running in a million different directions, still tackling three different jobs, and trying to get everything done in a timely manner. Who has time to sit and enjoy a hot latte and fresh muffins, and update the world on the life of their business? Coincidentally, that's just what I happen to be doing at the moment, even though a mile-long list sits on the desk next to me. And I will admit, it feels like a luxury.
Speaking of luxury, I leave very early tomorrow morning to fly 2,887 miles away from this place to a little island off the coast of North Carolina. There I will spend a week with a small gathering of photographers from throughout the United States to talk shop with the company of Audrey Woulard, Tamara Lackey, Laura Novak, and Lena Hyde. Even though I have three weddings and five portrait sessions to finish editing, and a few design projects on my desk, I will take the week to relax and enjoy the company I am with. Even more so since the October issue of True North Parenting is now at the printer! Don't get me wrong, I'm not used to simply not working when there are so many things demanding my attention. However, my laptop is dying a slow and painful death. Conveniently, the only programs it will NOT run are Adobe ones. Photoshop and InDesign? Good luck. It must be God's mercy telling me to slow down and enjoy a much-needed break. I won't argue with Him.
If you need me, this is where I will be:
Jen Thompson and I are traveling together, and I'm very much looking forward to some solid time with her (and yes, I stole this image off her blog). We will be housemates with two other girls at this adorable house, cruising around in golf carts because the island doesn't allow any cars.
And if you are going to be at Learnfest too, lucky you. The Ethni Paper Shoppe is also a sponsor, and you will be receiving these two free holiday card templates in your swag bag:
When I get home late next Friday night, I'll be hitting the ground running, travelling every weekend but one through the end of October. Someday I will get caught up, and my blog will be getting some more attention. But until then, this little update will just have to get you by. Enjoy your weekend! I know I will.

I am amazed at the quality of your work despite how busy you are:) What a great opportunity and "vacation" for you. It's great that we have such a wonderful God that oversees our lives and knows what's best for us. When our lives are so busy that's when we need to be spending and making time for the Lord. It's one of the hardest but the most comforting, profitable, and amazing thing in our lives. I would encourage you to look up and know that the Lord is all powerful and all knowing. He will get you through this busy time in you life. I am happy for you!
God Bless.
