Ooooh what a great day. I didn’t know Mondays could be so good.
I had a long wedding on Saturday, so I took Sunday and Monday off. Yesterday Mike and I took a hike with Ally and then came home and made a comfy dinner together. Today I treated myself to a spa day. My first! I got my hair cut and styled, my nails done, and then a massage. It was my first manicure in a few years, and my first massage ever. Mmmmmm…. massage… it was heaven. I couldn’t believe how quickly an hour went by. I was just glowing with tranquility and joy afterward. I think I have to become an addict now.
I brought my new hairstyle and inner peace to a photo shoot afterward. This evening Mike and I had our engagement portraits taken! We met my friend and colleague, Sean, at Red Rock Canyon, and took an hour and a half worth of photos. It was so much fun! He had us rolling in the grass, running through fields, leaning sexily against rocks, and laughing pretty much nonstop. Sean is a brilliant photographer, and I just know he’ll blow us away with the portraits. He showed us some pictures as he took them, and wow, they are going to be gorgeous.
Mike was pretty uncomfortable posing for the pictures, but he was a trooper and smiled and kissed and pranced on command. Personally I loved it. Sean made me feel like a supermodel. I have total faith in his creativity and skill, so I gladly followed whatever direction he offered. I never expected to enjoy being on that side of the camera as much as I did today!
After the photo shoot, we went to Amanda’s Fonda for some fajitas and margaritas on their patio. What a fun day. I’ll post the pictures as soon as we get them (probably Wednesday, but maybe next week). I owe many responses to emails and comments, so I promise to get back to that tomorrow. Good night, all!

spas are the best! Can’t wait to see what will be, I’m sure, phenomenal pictures!
Okay, I read this at 5am and was skimming…I missed the part about the massage and saw “new hairstyle and inner peace”…read it as “inner piece” and was thinking “okay, she has thick hair…why did she need a piece put in her hair?”
Gah!
sounds like a wonderful day. i hope you share your photos with us.
I can’t wait to see the photos!
We should go together sometime! It has a wonderful patio right next to a stream, which makes for a really fun night out. We live really near there, so maybe afterward we can head over to our house for additional drinkage on our own patio.
Fantastic! Maybe sometime next week? How does your schedule look?
Just got them back, and they’re beautiful! Will post some today.
Thanks, Mickey! I think everyone needs a day to relax and pamper oneself.
Aw man, I’m going to turn into a spa junkie, I can feel it. Maybe sometime when I’m home we can do a girl’s spa day!
lol… All this wedding stress has caused me to pull my hair out.
I just got them back, and they’re amazing. I’ll post some today!
I got them today, and I think you’re going to love them! Sean has mad skilz. I’ll post some today.
It looks like I’m unemployed! So whenever.
Well, unless Petsmart suddenly calls, but I’m not holding my breath.
Oh no… bad day today? I’m sorry the employment situation isn’t working out yet. Job-hunting can be so demoralizing. Hang in there, though, and remember that all of us have rough times finding jobs!
Next week works for me!
Nah, I’m just bored. I’m not really looking hard for a job.
So any day is good for me next week.
