Pictures, Wedding Dresses, Brides & Breast Cancer

Hello friends!
nothing to exciting going on at the Puhak house this week... all the normal stuff work, pictures, school, church, & pictures...
We purchased a new template for my website so it will be new & improved soon! very soon! I cant wait! I am working on new pictures this month to post on there so when you go to the site the first time you will see fresh stuff!
It would however be nice if it wasnt so stinkin' humid here so that when I go out to do these pictures I wouldnt melt. I think the weather man said it was going to be hot with a chance of hot & a slight bit of hot today. He also mentioned heat advisory so I guess that means maybe I shouldnt take people out at 2pm (the heat of the day) to go shoot pictures?? That isnt very nice of me. Tomorrow I am though, I have plans to take a certain 3 yr old birthday girl out to do some pictures!! Not sure where we are going yet but we will figure that out when the time comes!

I did something fun yesterday... I donated my wedding dress to Brides against Breast Cancer.
Before I get a bunch of hate mail asking why I did such a thing read the website...its for a charity http://bridesagainstbreastcancer.org/
Brides to be buy donated dresses at a fraction of the new cost, the money is given to breast cancer research & best of all I dont have to store this dress any more... its a win win for everyone!
I never want my future children to be plus sized & wear my dress, I have pictures & our memories of the dress, I never plan to wear it again, why keep it? It takes up all kinds of space. I have wanted to sell it but this way it goes to help more than just one person.
I ran over on my lunch break to drop off the dress, I dropped it off & filled out the form, then I had to leave. It was bitter sweet . I was ready to give the dress away but at the same time it made me sad. So of course I cried. (Did you expect anything else from me?)
On the donation form you could elect if you wanted to donate in honor or memory of someone. My best friend Jerilyn who lost her mom Carolyn to breast cancer the year before I lost my mom was who I put down to donate in memory of. Though I didnt get to know her very well before she passed away I have gotten to know her through stories from J. Because of those stories I know she was a wonderful strong woman.

I also have signed up to volunteer to help with this event next time it comes to town! I cant this weekend because of Molly's birthday & other things I have going on this weekend, but If I had 2 hours to spare I would so be there this afternoon! So next year I will! I wanted to take a picture to post today but I didnt even bring the camera with me to the hotel when I dropped off the dress, so you will have to wait until next year to see photos! :)
