sad people who make sad life choices make me sad.

well today's post was supposed to be dedicated to the photos of the bridal shower i took on my canon dslr this weekend--i must say i took some adorable photos of all the little details, but instead someone who is awesomely sad in life decided to rob our house during the only 2 hours of the day we were out. 

so instead of crawling in bed saturday night after a nice movie with my sister at my parents house, we came home to our door slightly open, things moved around in our bedroom, and $800, a camping knife, and (didn't realize this until Sunday) but both our Canon DSLR and Canon Film SLR cameras stolen.

The cops came, and while they were nice, they offered us little comfort, and without theft insurance, we're just kind of out of luck.

I could handle the money i had been saving for a computer being gone, because i didn't already have the computer, so it wasn't changing my life by not being here.

And I could handle the knife being gone, although i felt bad for Marcus since he had just bought it.

But Sunday morning, when i woke up and realized the camera's were gone, i went into total meltdown mode. 

The tears finally came flowing and they didn't stop.

I thought i was okay after a sunday nap,  but then someone called me, and for the first time in my life, I started bawling to a near-stranger on the phone.

As far as monetary possessions, those two cameras are at the top of the list for me.

I love photography.

And those cameras have captured so many memories. 

Inside the camera bag they took, are literally thousands of photos on SD cards of our life, our wedding, our honeymoon, and our holidays with family.

It makes me feel so ill to think that
1. we now have to save up to buy them again, but
2. that someone is either going to look at all those memories we had together, or erase them all with no care for what they mean to us.

Ugh...I'm so over this situation. 

Sorry to be dragging you down with this, it's just that's why there won't be nice photos on the blog for a while.

I have to keep reminding myself that we still have lots of those photos on our computer, and we still have all of them in our hearts and minds.

And that, of course, it all could have been a lot worse.

And it helps that i still have these flowers in my kitchen and that Saved By The Bell is on Netflix InstantPlay.

Thanks for all the positive thoughts via instagram, facebook, and twitter. love you!
