the trenches.

Posted on April 29, 2008

Do you ever just feel like you are stuck in the trenches and if only you could dig yourself out everything would be better?

This capital campaign work is just so exhausting! Rewarding, but totally exhausting.  I’ve been sitting with this computer since 10am, it is now 10:42pm which makes this one long long day of thinking in design mode.

Anyway, I do want to share the newsletter my amazing print team and I put out last week though. I think posting the accomplishments will make me feel like I’m actually making progress.  It’s not going to be a big deal to anyone but me, really, but b/c this is my blog and my big deal, here you go.

So that piece went out last week and right now I am working on an 8 page brochure. We still have another newsletter to get out and some other smaller pieces. I did the design of the logo and all the design work on the layouts, but my teammates did all the writing and placing of text, order of items, organization of the team, etc.

The next three days the girls are at Grandma’s house or GoGo’s house so that I can work non-stop on getting these pieces done. And although parts of me love doing all of this work, the other parts really miss having the girls all day. Just goes to show that the grass is always greener!

Soulard

Posted on April 29, 2008

Last weekend I got to do two senior photo shoots down in Soulard.  I love that area for photos b/c it allows me to find different spots to shoot and the lighting is great (building shade is always better than tree shade b/c it’s so solid).  Not to mention just walking around that neighborhood is fun b/c of the wonderful old buildings and alleys and nooks.

I will say that after two shoots that require a lot of walking I was pretty sore!  But it was totally worth it!

Katie was my first senior that day and we actually threw in her family for a bunch of shots so when you look at her album it’s not just her.

Thanks for a great morning Katie!

Today:  Our day started out great, the girls slept through the entire night with no crying so at 6am I was happy to get up with them!  But then at 7am Parker threw-up EVERYWHERE which sort of turned the morning for me.  Grandma is on her way to pick them up, sick kid and all, so that I can work all day on the Emmanuel Campaign materials… I’ll post the big project we finished last week for it later.  So hopefully Parker will feel better and Grandma’s day will go smoothly.  Either way I am going to work as fast as humanly possible to knock this sucker out.

This day will NOT kick my butt!  I’m all over you Tuesday!
