Old Cape Courthouse Gazebo So the wedding is about a week away now and I am totally excited, but also nervous. Of course! I’m told that being nervous is a good thing because it means I care, I care to do a good job, I don’t want to mess up the photography of someone’s special day. I guess being nervous is the opposite of arrogance. At least I hope so.

I am more than prepared, though. All I have to do is meet with my other photographer (maybe we will go equipment shopping) and buy another big box of AA batteries. At the last wedding, I started with a full camera battery and didn’t even get close to have to changing that, despite about 900 photos or so. I had to change my flash batteries once but I like to have more than just one set on hand!

The one thing that really makes me the most nervous, though, is the weather. This wedding is outside so i am really praying for no rain and for decent temperatures. So far we are looking at a 0% chance of precipitation, 5 mile and hour winds, high of 81° and mostly cloudy. In a word: AWESOME! I could stand for it to be a little cooler, but I would be happy with that weather for sure. I am also checking the weather forecasts obsessively from here on out. (Typical.)

I have lots of ideas in mind though and I hope that everyone is cooperative and happy to participate! Not so much the wedding party – they HAVE to be – but I have a couple of photos in mind that are going to require participation on the part of MANY more people! I know SOME people are going to be hesitant… ahem… but maybe I can throw some weight around. :P

In other news, my brother gave me a ton of stuff to sell for him. All video games and accessories or systems. Stuff that I guess he’s decided he doesn’t need anymore since he’s going away to college and is about to be a billion times busier. So far, sales on Ebay are going well on the systems. I get to keep $100 that he owes me and, he says, a commission of whatever percentage I want. haha! I won’t rip him off, though! I probably will keep very very little to nothing. Hopefully everything sells, though. The last thing I need around here is more useless stuff in the way.

We are still trying to get that “lower” room remodeled and it’s a real pain so far. In the past couple of years, it’s become a catch-all room, not to mention all of the candle stuff I keep in there. A lot of that is in the basement but not everything. I’m going to have to find a place to take more down there. Going to need to keep my wax up here though, I’m certainly not going to take 55 lb cartons downstairs only to have to carry it back up when I need it!

But we’re maybe finally getting some plans laid about some stuff so I really want to get this show on the road and it seems like everything depends on something else and I have yet to find where the chain starts. I can’t do A until I do B and I can’t do B until I do C and D which have to be done at the same time but have to be done after E, F, G, etc. If I could just find the perfect starting point, we’d be good to go!
