I'm ten days away from being a married woman. Overwhelming? Just a bit. But I thought you should all meet my knight in shining armor. My Indian. My boy. But hey - no drooling, k? He's mine.

He's an amazingly attractive man. I mean - come on! Hot stuff, right thar!!

And I, for one, think we make an adorable couple. Don't we look good together?  (Bird beak meets triple chin.)

Especially when we dress up for double dates. Now THAT is styling. He takes me on the BEST dates. (Ladies... you're jealous. Admit it. )

Our story? Well, it's a long one. I've known this man for 7 years. I'll tell it someday... just not tonight. Tonight I'm thinking about the day when we won't be long distance anymore. The day when we'll actually be in the same room and I'll just be able to look at him and know what he's thinking. The day when we don't have to say painful goodbyes anymore. That day is only 10 days away.

Sunil, I love you.

I'm not dead. I promise.  

I'm just getting married. In two weeks. So I'm slightly busy. (Just a bit)

Busy with life and wedding plans and work and fundraisers and chemo and trying to sleep and photography and moving states and packing and getting sick and changing diets and everything else. Everything else.

But it just so happens that dad just finished his chemo round. And my wedding plans are planning themselves. And the fundraiser is done this weekend. And my last day of work is on Monday. And photography will have to wait. And moving states will happen one way or another.

So I'll just be here. Being. Being in the palm of His hand. Taking each day as it comes. (And writing thank you notes like mad!)

I am blessed. And I'll never be too busy to just be.

So this is me. Just being.

In other business news... I'll be back in Minnesota quite often this spring/summer, and I plan on staying busy shooting my brains out(not really... but kinda)! I'm planning on being back in May, June, July, August and possibly September.

As of yet, I don't have specific dates for all those trips yet, but once I know them, I'll post them here! Stay tuned. :)

If, however, you'd prefer to know right away, I'm going to send out an email (as soon as I know) with my available times/dates for shoots. Shoot me an email at: amanda.joy.norman@gmail.com, and I'll add you to my list of "special people that I should contact first"!

Until then... stay warm.

And dry.

And pray for me. And my groom. :)
