And just like that, it's busy season at my real job and with photography.  Here's a quick update.  Our weekend is low-key, so I'm hoping to post about our trip to Disneyland soon! :) Until then, head over to Instastories to follow along.
{making}  the kids travel journals
{cooking}  all the fall recipes.  Fall snack mixes, mini apple pies, apple crisp, soups & more.
{drinking}  MTN DEW.  Stress is up and sleep is down, which always means more mountain dew, but I need to get by booty in gear and get back on the water wagon!
{reading}  See Me by Nicholas Sparks.  I just finished Crazy Rich Asians so I could go see the movie!
{wanting}  a week off work {paid, without taking PTO of course--haha!}
{looking} at it rain.  We have had so much rain the past 2 months.
{praying}  for clarity about a missions trip and healing for a couple friends/family members with sick parents
{planning}  Jordyn's 7th {!!!} birthday party. LOL themed {Lord help me!}
{wishing}  I had more time to get caught up on blogging, the kids' photo albums, travel journals, etc.
{enjoying}  all the fall things -- the leaves changing, the new fall clothes, the festive foods
{waiting}  for Saturday -- it's Adam's birthday!
{wondering}  if we'll find time to get to this exhibit at all weekend.  We went back in 2016 and had a blast!
{hoping}  to get to the apple orchard before it closes for the year!
{needing}  to plan our Pumpkin Carving Party & the kids' Halloween parties for school
{smelling}  oils diffusing {Cinnamon Bark, Wild Orange, Clove & OnGuard today}
{editing}  Disney photos & client sessions {family & senior}
{wearing}  this new jacket {on sale, runs large} and shoes {also on sale, run small}
{noticing}  how long my to-do list is getting
{knowing}  how badly I need to get my butt to a gym soon!
{thinking}  how fun our impromptu family pajama premier party was on Wednesday night -- we watched Chicago PD, Med, & Fire
{dreading}  the funeral we're going to on Saturday -- to say I don't do well at funerals is an understatement
{loving}  my  new cookbook -- yes, I'm the last one to purchase this!
{missing}  our Ankeny/Des Moines friends and the kids' teachers from last year
{listening}  to JJ Grey & Mofro on repeat
