I really didn't mean to be gone this long. And I didn't realize how much I'd missed it until I opened this blank page. A lot has happened. I've been shooting along the way and I'll share parts of the journey! I have been living in Norfolk, Virginia for a little over 2 weeks now and I can finally sit at my computer without looking at nagging boxes waiting to be unpacked. I must say that this city is much more than I expected. I had fallen into a pretty big slump in the weeks before our move. I wasn't ready to leave Bloomington- it was comfortable, our friends were there. . . it was home. I got here with a pretty rotten attitude. I'm not sure that I even WANTED to like it. But I have undergone an attitude adjustment and we are settling in quite nicely here. There is just so much to do. We haven't even put a dent in it yet! My husband has joined me here finally and life just might get back to normal. A new normal anyway. It is quite different than Bloomington which makes it almost easier- there is just no comparison! I will miss, quite desperately, the friends I left behind and to that I can only say, "THANK GOD FOR THE TELEPHONE!". Mama Mia wasn't the same without my girls.
I have a lot to catch up on with my fellow bloggers- you guys have been BUSY! I've been around a little and am already enjoying what I see! I'll be by to comment soon. I just finished editing a shoot that I shot the day before we moved. So I'll post those first. I may be back tonight with a few more from the area- just for my mom!

Glad all is well, despite the sadness of leaving friends behind. If you like Norfolk, you'll really like Virginia Beach...though I guess you might be considering them one in the same already. I go there about once a year and have quite an affinity for it.
YAAAY! Lacey is back to blogging! I've checked nearly everyday in the hopes of seeing a new post, and it has finally come. I'm glad to hear that you're settling in to a new kind of normal. That will most likely be me in a year... yikes. Possible in Virginia as well, although not Norfolk (and VA is a HUGE state -- you never seem to leave when you drive through). I look forward to hearing more about your adventures and experiences since your last post!
Welcome back to the land of blogger and welcome to the Tidewater!! I am still making the adjustment here in Williamsburg myself but if I can be of any help let me know and I will do my best for you guys!!
YAYYYYYY You're back!!!!!!!!!!! I've been checking and checking just waiting for you to post!!! I can't wait to see what shots you've got in store for us! I've missed your blog I'm so glad you're back! Lots of exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the shot of the two boys. It's one of those great "in the moment" captures.
YAY! You're back! And I love your images of your shoot! Very nice. I am posting a few more tonight of one I did the other day as well!
As far as the move, take it a day at a time and you will bloom again...it takes time and patience....
So glad you are back here my friend!
Welcome back! You were missed! But I'm so glad to hear you've gotten settled in and are liking your new city. Good luck with the transition!
I do love the last one done in black and white. It speaks volumes about the comfort of a hug when a little one is hurt in some way.
Great photo.
These are a wonderful set of images to return with. As you can see by all the other comments, you have indeed been missed here. So a big WELCOME BACK is in order. :)
