Photobomb Friday: Cute Animals

I realize this is really, really late.  But I had no internet all day.  And then there was an evening commitment...

Anyway... here's some adorableness for you!  From domesticated to wild animals!  Awww.





















All wild animals were photographed last year at the Phx Zoo, where my future sister-in-law works.  I got to meet a lot of animals really close up!  It was awesome!  You can also buy prints of many of the images, as well as others I have taken,  here!

As Promised... a Lack in Posting

As I mentioned before, this week is crazy, so I won't be posting as often as usual.  I hope you lovely readers will stick around anyway!  I promise a big reveal of all we've been up to... it's gonna be a virtual tour of our apartment!  Yay!

Today I was pleased to discover my LibertyBelt I bought from Etsy arrived!  I am so excited about using this for the wedding... it's even one of the wedding colors!  Since I will be wearing nice dress pants with shallow, useless pockets, this will provide me storage for extra batteries, filters, SD cards, and lens cloths... and other small necessities.  I am so excited to use it!

I ALSO received my cat nip felted fish from Claire of Nothing Happens Unless We Dream!  Sinful Cynthia and Zia Maida gave the fishy a trial run... Zia was completely perplexed, but Cyn was in love.  In fact, we decided we have to keep the fishy away from them unless we supervise their playtime, since Cyn is determined to eat the fishy up!  She was adorable while attacking, though.  (Please excuse my bedroom... it was a catch-al while we were cleaning, and is the last room to get organized!)

haha, she was so hard to capture in her crazy cat nip frenzy!

Father's Day this past weekend was wonderful!  I escaped the weddingness took some time to treat my parents to brunch on Sunday and spent some quality time with my dad.  Mom took the best picture of us to date, I think!  I am so happy with this shot!  I can see that resemblance people always told me about in the past...

Then Bear made steaks and fries for his dad for dinner, and Tori made some veggies.  We picked up the quarter keg for the new keggerator, so draft beer was the beverage for the meal!  It was a good day all around!

Keep tuned... this week will feature a series of posts giving you a virtual tour of our newly purtified apartment!  In the meantime, I am working while these focused helpers work around the house... see how attentive they stay?  Clearly, they never get bored or distracted...

Even our nephew-kitty Trot is on the job!  Or... sleeping on the job.

 Hopefully, Bear is a better supervisor than I!  Haha

Photobomb Friday: We have MiFi!

Again, I bring you Friday's post on a Saturday... but I can because we got Mifi!  Which means I have internet at home (at least whenever Bear doesn't take it with him to work...)!

We are still working like crazy getting this place ready for guests and weddingness... the countdown is at a WEEK.  I've been having crazy stress nightmares that are simultaneously frightening and hilarious.  Bear is also setting lights for the Local Theatre's current show, so a lot of housework is falling to me right now.  It's so stressful, but it will all be worth it!

I am so lucky to have two jobs that are graciously letting me take time off for prep starting Thursday, but I probably won't be posting here as often as the wedding looms nearer.  I have a lot to do, from making decor to organizing my photo equipment and meeting with Patchie who will be my Second Shooter (her first wedding gig!).

So, today I am Photobombing adorable kitten photos to promote smiles and relieve a little stress.  Aw, kitties!

 The Scottish Fold above is was my Aunt's beloved Angus.  Sadly, he passed shortly after I took these pictures.  But, they are getting a new Scottish Fold Kitten, named Cooper!  My Aunt is from Scotland, and apparently the Scottish Fold breed were discovered in or originally bred in Coupar Angus, Scotland.  I have such clever family!

And because they are so darn difficult to photograph, I am reposting these images of Rummy and Dart:

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

PS- Notice a lack of Grateful posts?  I am the worst at keeping up on one of those photo-a-day challenges.  Hopefully sometime soon it will make a comeback.  I am so ashamed... and just plain busy!
