long time gone...

wow. sorry guys! I totally haven't disappeared completely! life was insane last week with work! we had our huge championship that my office runs & last week was pure insanity. I was up at the crack of dawn and working from about 6:30 to 6:30 or 7 at night.
to top it off my birthday was Friday so let the weekend shenanigans begin!
I spent the week hanging out with some of my best friends from all over the country that I only get to see about once a year so it didn't really feel like work.
it was kinda like celebrating my birthday all week long which made 26 not feel so bad. my birthday dinner was spent at my favorite Mexican restaurant with some friends! the guys played on Saturday night so that resulted in a lack of sleep but a fantastic night. last night resulted in another lack of sleep but a great night watching homeland & now I am hooked!   all in all a great week with my favorites even though I have been running on fumes... I now have tons of photography work to catch up on before photographing a dance comp on Sunday!!   lots of pics below from this week!! enjoy :)
