From Texas with Love

"bow bow da da da daaaaaaaah"
Aaron is playing his steel guitar in the living room as I post this. The man loves him some country soundin' music. 

We are both surrounded by furniture and to-do lists. Our Christmas tree is still up in the living room...we have wedding pictures to send to Aaron's clients...our fridge is looking scarce. 
I suppose the past few months have been busy busy. We are still trying to figure out how to balance our time. 

One way we've kept ourselves busy has been weekend trips. This past weekend we went to Dallas/Fort Worth. Aaron was attending a photojournalism conference (his birthday present) and I was going to Denton to hang out with Britney Bradshaw and then Waco to see Melissa Gruver (two of my best friends). 
We both had a great trip. Aaron had a lot of encouragement from all the other photographers there. I suppose a job that seems "impractical" can get really worrisome. While there, Aaron met a few high-ish profile photojournalists that encouraged him to pursue the things he loves. That would be a career focusing on portraits, rather than photojournalism. Many people liked Aaron's work.

For me, the trip was refreshing. Being around people that have known you for over 5 years and have loved you regardless of how they've seen you is quite an honor. Besides all that! we got to go to IKEA!!!!
There, I purchased an apple corer, an electric milk frother, some cute cute cups, and some other good things (including a plant!)
So things have been good. We trudged back to Jackson through snow and cold on Sunday, and now (thursday) it's 70ish degrees.

Well, that's all for now.
Hope to hear from anyone!
Love
us.
