Painting

Noemi — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 14:48:14 +0000

It’s a glumy day and I’m glad cause I’ll be inside priming and painting our living room, kitchen and hall way. I have a friend joining me this afternoon and 3 coming tonight…we’re hoping to crank it all out and be done with it! I don’t mind painting at all, actually, I find it very relaxing. But, with two little kids, a messy house is not what I need right now.

wish me luck!

Packing Up!

Noemi — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:33:43 +0000

There’s something very intriguing about packing up my entire house and moving to a new one and then getting to unpack. As you know I love change and a challenge so, that’s part of it, but, there’s more. I love new beginnings!

This is the season I’m in:

1. It’s September which is a new-beginning-time-of-year!

2. I’m sleeping through the night now that Leyton is on an amazing schedule!

3. I’m nearing the end of my wedding season and already looking ahead/booking 2009 weddings!

4. I’m finishing painting my old house this week and will start packing.

Talk about being in a season of change and new beginnings. When I slow down enough I can’t help but smile.

Packing: I get to go through everything in my house and decide if it’s worth keeping or not, then pack it and when I unpack it has to hold up to the same test! My house is going to be cleaner because of it…I can’t wait for that!

Are we buying? We decide by tomorrow if this new house is a done deal I have to admit, I’ve tried not to get to emotionally attached because I didn’t know if we were going to keep it or not but, I want this house! Matt’s doing the final stuff today and tomorrow…so, we’ll see!

My Life…

Noemi — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 21:54:10 +0000

…is crazy! I’ve always kinda prided myself at being the master of juggling things! And what’s worse, I usually thrive on the challenge of more to do and how to get it done faster. I guess it’s a trait of being second-born. You know the Anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-better mentality. But, really, what am I trying to prove? This week is going to be about meeting with brides, painting my house, getting quotes on “stuff needed” for the new house, packing, taking care of two gorgeous kids, cleaning, cooking, editting pictures, blogging…aughh! I’m giving myself a headache.

I know what I need. I need to slow down and make a master list. Then take deep breath and tackle one thing at a time.

Remember way back when I wrote about going to Canada and getting to see my family. Well, I’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to post pictures. I finally worked on a few today…

This is me and my gorgeous son, Leyton O’Neal.

This is the girls pouting.

Adriah with her best friend Penny. She totally mauled this dog every chance she could.

Daddy playing with his little girl!

My nephew Tayus…up close and personal!

My bro (Alex) and my sis (Cindi).

I got attitude…

Joe & Katie’s Wedding Pictures!

Noemi — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 20:00:49 +0000

Last year I did a wedding that had seven brothers in the wedding party…great marketing technique if the family likes you! I guess I passed the test because this year I was hired to shoot another Rueb wedding. It truely was my pleasure to see everyone again. I’m hoping to be at another family wedding soon!

I’m excited to show you the precious moments we captured…

I couldn’t resist including this one! It’s a long day and a McDonald’s burger can really hit the spot when you’re starving…

Labor Day Weekend

Noemi — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 14:13:05 +0000

As you may know, life is a little crazy for our family right now…weddings, editing, packing, painting, etc. BUT, in the midst of chaos I’m forcing myself to slow down and remember summer is almost over…I need to enjoy every day. I noticed it was getting dark at 8:30pm, the nights are cool and the leaves have started to turn on a couple of trees. (Don’t get me wrong, I love the fall…but autumn has a tendency of turning into winter and in Minnesota that can mean a really long time under snow and ice.)

So, my encouragement today, is for everyone to take time and chill outside. Enjoy your weekend and Monday too. If at all possible don’t work…just relax. Get a tan! It may be one of your last chances this summer. And if I could suggest one more thing it would be to laugh out loud! I know it sounds weird but laughing out loud is so therapeutic!! I highly recommend it.
