Ahhh... to be surrounded by those mountains again.
What are you dreaming of today?

The Married Life
Yep, you read that correctly. Justin and I, without sharing the news, headed up to the local courthouse and exchanged our vows on Monday. In many ways, it's kind of hard to believe that we were ever going to do anything more than don some fancy clothes and exchange those sacred words without a witness. We're sort of known for our epic surprises so this had to have topped them all. Fortunately, everyone was thrilled so no hard feelings.
We pledged our hearts to one another and celebrated with champagne, macarons, and slow dancing in the living room. It was perfect and wonderful and every other imaginable word to describe happiness. Without offering much more, here are some pictures I managed to capture before and after we said our I dos. Enjoy!
Thanks for all the love, friends!

2013 in Photographs
I haven't blogged since October. The tenth of October to be exact. I actually DID blog about books in that post which is saying something because most of my posts before were either a rambling mess or an explosion of exciting announcements.
I haven't been reading, it's true. Well... I have and have not. I only managed to read 32 books this year! However, I have been reading (slowly) and really loved a few novels that I just never managed to write about. I think everyone understands this predicament.
There's a time when you run out of words to say about a novel you've read. Or a moment when you just can't muster the energy after a long day to sit and summarize a plot and then create something that resembles an opinion. It was both of these things. I just couldn't write another post. I couldn't.
I miss the blogging community and still like to read posts (but maybe never comment). I like to follow along on Twitter, and note all the books you're currently reading, or eyeing, so that I'm always in the loop.
2013 was a whirlwind. So much changed. And even though this blog suffered, I know I can always come back and say hello.
Here's a year in photos to celebrate the changes!
1. I launched my own photography business: bethpriddy.com
2. J's sister graduated high school and went off to college. I got to document it.
3. My brother and sister-in-law tied the knot. They are the best.
4. J and I agreed to share a life together. We're obviously crazy.
5. One of my best friends welcomed her first child!
6. I moved to Chicago. J, of course, did too.
7. My entire family stayed at the beach for a week. It was AMAZING.
8. My brother and sister-in-law also welcomed their first child, Canaan. He is ridiculously cute.
9. I was hired to shoot Renegade Craft Fair Chicago!
10. I toured the midwest to see what the fall was like. (This was in Michigan.)
I'm sure I'm forgetting something BUT this is what I've got to show for now. Another of my brothers recently announced that he and his wife would be welcoming twins in April (those maternity shots, unfortunately, are not ready to be viewed). But it's happening and I'm so excited for our growing family.
2013 was good to me and I can't wait to see what the new year has in store! Happy New Year, everyone!!!

A Post: More News!
I'm finally ready to share the news I've been holding in for quite some time! Keeping the move quiet was a feat, but this was definitely harder. When I started this blog, I had just started pleasure reading after four years of nothing but academic tomes and xeroxed sheets of paper. Working in this space has done nothing but inspire me and drive me to do more. Around the same time I started Bookworm Meets Bookworm I got my first DSLR. My pictures were pretty terrible in the beginning (like horribly terrible), but I've consumed any learning materials I could get my hands on, taken courses, and thrown myself into the initially awkward task of photographing and conversing with people I really don't know. I've grown more confident and decided to start my own little business and website. It's a side project for now, but who knows what the future holds! So, if you're in the Chicago area and need portraits, or know someone who does, I am totally available starting in September!
