Engagement Picture Failure

So Matthew and I got engaged in ohhh November, and we have planned to take our engagement pictures with this amazing photographer in Hendersonville since January. It is really hard to take pictures, because we have to travel up to Hendersonville from Charlotte to do it. And it doesn't help that every time we schedule a session, something happens.

The first 3 times, both of us were sick. Once Matthew had like Strep Throat, and then his ear drum burst. Another time we had scheduled, I caught Pnuemonia. Then our photographer was about to have her baby, and I did not want to make her take outdoor pictures in cold weather when she was about to have a baby (because that is not healthy). Then her baby came, and he was very ill and in the hospital for the first month of his life. And I DID NOT want to ask her to take our pictures during that time, because I just felt like she needed to be taking care of her children and worrying over the new little one.

Well, it finally came down to taking pictures today. I had my teeth cleaned this morning, had my eyebrows waxed, packed my bags, and headed up the mountain.

On the way up, I thought I was about to have a meltdown because a State Trooper came up behind me really fast, so I thought I was being pulled over and started having a panic attack. I slowed and went to pull over on the side of the road, and he honked his horn at me. Then I moved out of his way, and he blew by me. A little further up the road, there was a car on the side of the road with emergency flashers on and it looked like the trooper was giving someone CPR or something on the side of the road.

I finally started going up the mountain, and the sky opened up and it poured rain. Matthew and I reached the conclusion we would not be taking pictures today because of the rain.

Well, it turned out the rain was a blessing because it prevented me from having a crying tantrum while getting ready for pictures. It turns out I brought 4 pairs of shoes for my pictures....but left all of my dresses hanging up in Charlotte....Oooops.

Pray that we can get them done again this weekend!
