1. Work this week has been crazy. However, it has been crazy in a fun way. The first site I worked on goes live today. Once it is announced I'll post it.

2. I am pretty sure I have an ear infection.

3. I am having a wedding freakout today. It is time to review the list and get some stuff done. I think I should tackle hotel blocks and getting the save the dates ordered. I thinking that gwangi should starting thinking about the honeymoon since we are going over a popular time.

4. Serinia made an appointment for dress shopping (May 15th).

5. I have been thinking about the photographer. Everyone has been telling me that it is a good thing to invest in. I also was so blown away by the number of offers that I recieved from people to take the photos at my wedding that I just shut down. However, I have been thinking about it since. I don't know how many of you are friends with melissa_maples but she is one of my favorite people on LJ and even flying her here is cheaper than paying for a photographer. Plus I love her photos. My dad keeps asking if I am going to do this (and has decided that she will stay in their guest bedroom) and Zach thinks it is cool. Am I crazy to say I will only pay $300 for a wedding dress but I'll fly my friend from Turkey to come take pictures at my wedding?

6. I am going to a web conference on Monday. Woo!

7. I have a view of Bachman's (a local garden store) from my desk and it is so nice to see them setting up the spring plants.

8. I broke down and bought some decent decaf grounds for work. SO MUCH BETTER.

9. I am having a clothing swap tomorrow. However, I am pretty sure I am going to have a "sloppy seconds" one in a couple weeks since so many people won't be able to make it.

Okay, time to get back to my crazy pile of work.

I've had a lot of time to think about this today, and putting all the coolness and new friendships and everything aside for a moment, I think I've narrowed it down to a single issue.

If you think that thirty years from now you'll be glad to have had the extra $1500 in your life and you'll never wonder with regret what it would have been like to have had pictures of your wedding taken by me, then you should not bring me there.

If you think that thirty years from now you'll be glad to have my photos of your wedding (and, let's face it, photos of Christmas and the rest of the week as well) and you won't wonder with regret what you could have spent that $1500 on instead, then you should bring me there.

I think that's the question. What would likely be the bigger regret in the long run - not having the photos, or not having the money to spend elsewhere?

I think you have nailed it on the head. For me, money is about experiences, not things. I am pretty sure I am going to do it but give me a week or so to commit to it (I never do anything implusivly, you can ask my family about this when you meet them, HA!).
