I apologize for the nastiness that is about to ensue. HOWEVER-this was one of those things that is too ridiculous not to share, I think. Chris and I moved into our apartment in the frigid month of December before we got to go to the not so frigid beautiful country of Nicaragua. (Good gosh, I want to go back.) Anyways, clearly it was too cold and terribly unnecessary to turn our AC unit on. And we totally didn't use our heat at all (all winter) because we are beastly (truth) and also because are apartment is relatively small and we own an awesomesauce little space heater and we also cook a lot using the stove which happens to heat the whole apartment quite nicely and ALSO we're married now so we can snuggle all the time for warmth(truth. Thank God.) I apologize for that run on sentence. It was necessary information.
That is besides the point. The point now is that it is getting SUPA hot around here and considering it hit like 120 degrees in March this year, I'm pretty sure we are going to FRY this summer. Well, yesterday we decided to turn the AC on for the first time for a few minutes to cool the home off before bed. 3 seconds later I wanted to puke as well as temporarily lose my sense of smell because our AC was pumpin' out moldy-poop like air. This is a HUGE exaggeration. But it did smell moldy and dusty.
I turned that bad boy off in a hurry and ran around like a crazy person trying to get the windows open. And then, AND THEN-I opened the little vent thing...and this is what I found:

A couple of things:
1. Seriously? Gross.
2. The yellow thing is a part of a cup. Clearly the people here before us had some crazy ragers and thought
that this location would be nice as a cupholder.
3. Gross.
So, I snapped this work of art and went with my fine hunk of a husband to turn in a maintenance request. I showed the secretary the picture. Her face probably looked the way yours did just a second ago when you looked at this. She said, "Hmmm, we might possibly need to service that." I said, "Good observation, Dr. Watson," in my head but in reality I said, "I agree."
Informing all of you of this situation is and was my study break for the day. You're welcome.
*Side-note, I'm super thankful for our apartment, I love it. If we didn't love it we wouldn't have broken our lease to move here. I'm also thankful that I even have the luxury of an AC system. I would just also love it if I didn't die early of mold poisoning.
and it is my last finals week ever.
and I have 3 more to go.
and Chris is the best guy EVER for getting up with me every morning and making me coffee and breakfast. (Not just during exam week, either..I hope I never take that for granted)
I've been getting a lot of photography business lately, and I'm still hoping I get enough to fill up a good portion of the summer. Doing this full time=my dream.
Patience is key.
In case you were wondering, Chris and I totally failed at our first attempt to make a video of our day (Saturday.)
We watched videos of others who have done this and it made us mad that we failed. I think we're motivated now. It's going to happen.
But not this weekend, because my sweet friends are finally getting married! Celebration! I'm so pumped to photograph it. The location is SO dreamy looking. Can't wait to post some. (Speaking of, I've had her bridal portraits done for a while and it has been torture not to share them.)
I know people like to hate on cats because dogs are cooler and whatever, but I'm really thankful for our little kitty. He's super hilarious.
I still can't wait to get a dog.
Chris will be applying to nursing school soon! (Fingers crossed for MUSC) but we'll be happy no matter what happens.
I still have a secret desire to open an esty store, and Chris says I should..but I just want to focus on photography for now. (Patience is key.)
Every once in a while though, I find myself making new save the date samples and other fun graphic projects...one day. At least I can still make them for some of my favorite people, like Mandy who is getting married next year!
Off to study! Video up soon! Maybe.
