Yep, I did !!! P ar tayyy! We had THE best time last night!!! It was MUCH needed. I had a previous engagement, that I was lucky enough to gracefully bow out of ( I know, I am baaaddd ), but there was somewhere that I was wanting to go with my girl.

Dance has opened up a world of opportunity for Paige, but it has also done the same for me. Paige's dance bud's moms are some of my very best friends and we have a BALL ALL the time. Do you have friends that when you are with them, you forget how old you are, or how much weight you've gained, or the fact that you have bills or a job??? I do, and I am THANKFUL for them!

Last night was Shannon's birthday. Her parents have "the party house" with a wonderful salt water (heated) pool, a firepit, tennis courts and.... built in KARAOKE system!!!

I sang a little Cher, I sang a little old school Madonna, I sang some Oak Ridge Boys, a little Celine Dion...and, oh yes, some Buffet, Jimmy that is!

I didn't get home last night until 2:30...it's been a looonggg time since I stayed out that late. I was so very tired today. It was a great day to edit pictures. I have had several photoshoots lately and am awfully behind on editing. I am finding that I take waaayyy too many pics of the families/kids and want to edit them all. That is crazy and I have got to get out of that mindset.

I had a really fun shoot yesterday with a high school friend and her family. They were a lot of fun. She has a five year old and a one year old. I definitely got my activity for the day with them.

Next weekend is my brother's wedding so I will be taking loads of pics and video. I am so excited and nervous for him. It is a very large wedding and he is nervous that he will make a mistake or pass out :) LOL! He and his groomsmen are going golfing during the day and then to get "a beer". I told him that it better only be A beer and not A FEW beers, as we want a nice evening with no problems. :) He's a good boy and he will do great.

I am very touched that in honor of my dad and Laurie's mom, they are donating $5 per guest to the American Heart Association and to the National Cancer Society. That is so thoughtful and has really made me very proud of them. I know I will be emotional next weekend and will be missing my dad dearly. Please say a little prayer for us!

Tomorrow is Labor Day and we are supposed to spend the day with Lala and family, but the weather is iffy. Paige also is feeling a bit under the weather and we have to have her at 100% for the wedding, so we shall see what the day will hold.

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Labor Day!
