Leave the top on...

What a busy, fun weekend! It started off, not so great when my hubby got sick :( I was selfish and didn't really take care of him for fear of getting sick and ruining my working weekend! I managed to skip the flu so far and had a fun working weekend, of course mixed in with some fun!
Saturday I had a batmitzvah at the Heritage Hotel in Southbury which was a lot of fun, everyone there seemed to have a blast!
Later that afternoon I met Tara and Steve (aka my Aruba couple) yes if you haven't heard I'm shooting a wedding in Aruba this summer, and I'm so excited. My family has traveled there quite a bit and I'm so excited to finally photograph this adorable couple in this beautiful setting!!! Anyway... I met them this weekend in Elizabeth Park for an engagement shoot. It was so awesome to finally meet them and they are so adorable and so easy to work with. I can't wait for the wedding day and our shoot after it too! Although the weather wasn't perfect and the scenery surely wasn't Aruba it was great to see what kind of things they were up for and get to feel them out a bit... let me add there there wasn't much they weren't up for... you'll see when I post the photos! :)
Saturday night my sisters, brother in law and husband, when to my parents new house and had our first real gathering and the start of many happy memories at their new house.
Sunday morning we (my husband and I) were happily headed to church to witness the baptism of our beautiful God daughter (Cierra) It was a really nice mass, followed by a great lunch with family and friends.
And now to get to the point of the title... leave the top on!!!
Sunday afternoon at 3:30 we decide we should try to take the top off of our jeep wrangler... hence TRY... we get the hard top off, with very little trouble (only one trip to home depot) and about an hour later it's off! Nice... so we start with the soft top, where at 7:45 we hop back in the car speeding back to home depot, and coming home to realize we just simply can't do this tonight. so we clear out the garage (which has started to be filled with our house things as we prep for this addition!) and put the jeep in the garage. Sooo this morning I called up jeep and at 8:30 I layered in sweats, a hat, a good and my husbands winter coat, along with gloves, a scarf and of course the umbrella in hand and I headed down the highway with the top off to the dealership to have them help put the soft top on. It was such a site... if any of you saw me... I hope you got as good a laugh as I did. I laughed the whole way there, now thinking that if I wasn't laughing I'd probablly be crying at how ridiculous this whole episode was. So the point of the story... wait ti it's warm til you take your top off :) (the jeep top that is :))
On that note... have a great day!
