Battle Wound

This would be the bruise on my thigh. I think it's from hitting the saddle horn. You can't tell from the photo cause I'm flattening it out, but it's pretty swollen....like a little tumor, lol. My rope burn on my hand is better now, so that didn't warrant a photo.

My body feels like it got hit by a truck. Just like I thought, yesterday when I woke up I was a hurtin' a lot more than Wednesday night. What I didn't expect was to be a hurtin' even more today. Every dang muscle in my body aches and I've developed a weird walk to keep my bruise from rubbing against the other leg. HA. 

All I want to do is lay up on the couch and snuggle with my babies. Too bad I've got a lot to do today house work wise. Our friend is also having a housewarming party tonight, so we'll be off to that as well. As long as I can kick back on his plush couch and enjoy a drink or two, I think I'll be alright.

Tomorrow, as I already mentioned, we'll be heading out of town with our friends to celebrate their boys' birthdays. We're excited to get out of town and enjoy the day and Anthony's excited to play with his "best friends" as he told me the other day. :)

I hope you all enjoy your Mother's Day on Sunday and get lots of hugs and kisses from your kiddos! Every year everyone who lives on my road gets together to help shovel gravel, fill pot holes, etc. etc. This year it was decided that May 8th would be the day to do this. Guess no one realized it was Mother's Day. Poop. I think it's being done in the middle of the day too, so Sam will be off doing that. Maybe a picnic and walk with the family after the road stuff? That'd be swell!

April Photo Shoot

Here are a hand full of photos from my last photo shoot! This was a hard shoot for me. It was a difficult location to work with because of all the houses and cars around, but we made due. Ultimately, in my opinion, seeing the houses in the background in a few of the photos doesn't take away from the gals. The photos I took of them back at the house in their back yard I like better though. The client got his proof book yesterday so now I'm just waiting on his print order and then I can close the book on this one!

Buckin' Bronco

I got bucked off my horsey and I'm a hurting unit. 

*sigh*

I think Nik was testing his boundaries and we were out in the field and he got a little too frisky. Ugh. Not the first time I've fallen off a horse and certainly wont be the last. And yes, I did get back on. Sam came bolting over fearing the worst, and I just told him to hold the reins so I could get back on, haha.

I've got rope burn on my right hand that's making it feel like it's on fire, a swollen left inner thigh that I know will be a killer bruise, and a sore....everything else. I didn't realize how bad I was hurting until all my adrenaline wore off and I was back at home. I know I'll probably be worse tomorrow. Don't fret too much. I'm OK!! :)

Anyway, crap happens.

With love,
