Mitch and Danielle : Wedding

They were married in Bass Lake, CA a little over a month ago. I’d never been to Bass Lake before, but I fell in love as I rounded the curving road up to The Pine resort. Tall, majestic pines surrounded the little lodges all nestled together just feet from the lakes edge. It was calling...

Amber - Abi, these are beautiful! I love how calm and serene the pictures feel! Great job!

Corrie - We all have funks. I am just about the queen of funks. Sometimes I just need someone to tell me to snap out of it. Do something that makes you laugh, smile. Or just do something that makes you cry. Get it out and hopefully tomorrow will bring cheer. You are in a new place with a lot of adjustments, go easy on yourself.

Lindsey - Is your funk still around? Or has it passed onto the other funky world? I know something that will make you feel better. New Moon comes out in less than two months. *insert sigh here*

September 24, 2009 - 5:11 am

Amber - Abi, I hope that your funk won’t last too long. It’s never fun to stay down…there is always a silver lining right? ;o)

Lesley - Ugh, funks suck. They make your whole day/week/month just feel like crap.
Put on some fun music….(I’m going to suggest Angels and Airwaves) and put on a mini dance party for yourself…there is always reason to celebrate! :)
