it's no secret that my man works a ton. his work ethic and stick-to-it-tiveness allows me to stay home and raise our babies...for us to live in this fairytale of a house...for us to eat splendiferic meals every night with all our friends. if our relationship consisted of just the work week, it would be a sad, sad thing.
luckily, my man is my secret weekend loverman. each weekend is something to look forward to, even if we don't have plans. no working on the weekend for him- just us, and just us plus kiddies.
this is our only wedding photo. john got it made for me years after our actual wedding, from one of the proofs we were lucky enough to snag from our deadbeat photographer. we paid in full, she shot our wedding, and then skipped town. claimed bankruptcy and we never got one stinkin' picture (or our money back). but even though at the time it kind of stunk, it's almost more special just to have one picture, hanging in an out-of-the-way special corner of the house. it hangs at the bottom of our stairs, where not many of our guests can see it. but every time i walk down from our bedroom, i take a quick glance at it, and know that even though my man is away, he's always coming home...and there's always the weekend.

Fabulous photo, fabulous writing, fabulous love. Great post - namaste!
That photo is incredable, and what you wrote is sweet as pie. Love it!
Nice photo and thank you for sharing the story behind it. Yes, it's beautiful that you've got just the one, it makes it more magical you know?
This was adorable!
And our photographer did the very same thing?!!! We got a lawyer and ended up with some negatives at least. Crazy!
Yeah, for weekends! hope you enjoyed this one :)

I love this.
The picture.
The story.
From now on when I say 'have a good weekend' I wil REALLY mean it :)
such happiness in your words.
and what a gorgeous photo to have.
This is such a sweet post for him. ;) And your photographer story is SO sad! I'm so happy, though, that you've found a way to find the joy in it - in celebrating the one special photo you DO have. That sounds just like your attitude.
so sweet. great photo!
i don't get that about the photog. what a heartless thing to do.
