Journal Entry – Day 2

Whew!!! What a day!

I woke up this morning…unfortunately breaking my sleeping in habit..at 6am!! I set my alarm but I think I slept through it I was so tired! The reason we had to get up so early was because we had to do a…..PHOTOSHOOT!!! Yeah!! My aunt went down and picked two of the girls up at 6:30 and brought them up to the house to get ready! We started with the easiest ones first(they didn’t have to straighten their hair…LOL)

I was still asleep for the whole first shoot so I’m actually not sure how I got any pictures…but I think we might have been able to salvage a couple;) LOL! The girls were so sweet and I love getting to know each of them and their personalities! It’s so much fun!

We shot around and found some incredible places to shoot including the town! Which-side note- BTW remind me next time I come to the DR to NOT have red hair or WHITE skin….these men are CRAZY!!! Wow! ...I guess the whiter your skin the more prominent or rich they think you are....soo I guess I'm VERY prominent...LOL!

After the first shoot we decided to head back to the house and we were just going to do the next shoot at 5pm! Then it started getting overcast so we grabbed 3 more girls and did a photoshoot with them! They were HILARIOUS!! Oh man! I didn’t have to tell them hardly anything! They had the poses down! It was great!

After that shoot we had lunch which was soooo good and super healthy too because it was just fruits and vegetables! Hmm!

After lunch we had tons of energy so we were like “Let’s just grab two more girls now and then 3 more tonight and finish all the shoots today!!” Right after we decided that it started pouring rain…sooo we went up to the house and SLEPT!!

Tonight we did 3 more shoots which means we only have 3 more of the girls in the next 2 days! Yeah! I’m so excited! This was a super awesome day and I’m staying up for the next 7 minutes until I turn…..yeah…I’m not saying how old I’m turning….that’s for me to know and you all to figure out …..wellllll I’ll give you all a hint because I like you so much…it’s between 1-100....and somewhere around 19!!! Yeah!

I hope you all are having an awesome night sleep as I’m posting this…because I don’t know if I will…because there’s a home birth happening here right now!!! Sooo exciting!! No…It’s not my aunt …or me…or my cousins…or even my uncle!!(whoa..I need to go to sleep…) it’s their adorable dog Maggie who just went into labor!! Can’t wait!!

…oh yeah..sorry I can’t post any of the pictures from the shoots today until I get release forms…that’s how they do it down here!! Can’t wait to show you all!!

LOVE YOU!!! - Sar

Hey Sarah,

Andrew told me you were in the DR and he kept asking me if I'd read your blog yet, so I had to read it. It sounds like you're having a lovely time. Happy 19th Birthday! Great pictures, too.
