As you know, my husband is now a business owner. This has been a super exciting time, but also challenging. Being a business owner, you’re CONSTANTLY thinking about your business. You eat, sleep and breathe your business. When it was just the photography business, I only had to contend with school and work in Bret’s thoughts when we had a conversation. Now, there is the personal training. Don’t get me wrong, I am SOOOOO excited for Bret! It helps motivate me to work even harder! That fire when you first start a business is contagious! But, if I have to ask his advice on something, it has to be a very…. ::hold his face and make him look at me:: “Bret! I have to ask you a question!” Sometimes this means waiting until he finishes up what he’s working on. Sometimes it means we have to talk about it later. One of our “don’t talk to me, interrupt me, etc” phrases is….”I’m zoning”…for me this normally means I’m editing awesome picture and listening to Metallica (is it weird that a wedding photographer loves editing pictures with hard rock??)

Anyways, today I was getting a little stressed out about things. So I said, ok, dude, I need you for TWO minutes. I turned up the music and we danced. Hoping, jumping, tossing our arms in the air, dancing. For a good 3-5 minutes. It was AWESOME. I got the stressed energy out and got a mini workout. So! If you work with your spouse….or your family member….or your friend….or even people you don’t really get along with….just dance for a few minutes. It really works. 🙂
