Modeling: My New Career Path

Let me paint you a picture.

Friday, late morning. We're all still in pajamas. Matt's at work. I'm nursing Hawk. Christmas bins cluttering the house. Half eaten bowls of breakfast linger on the dining room table. Beds unmade. Jackets and boots all over the living room floor from the outing the night before.

I go to check my phone and I see that I've missed 2 calls, and 2 texts from Matt. All of which say, "We're coming to scout the house for a Vivint shoot". WHAA???

I call, no answer. He finally calls me back and says they're coming sometime to check out the house. I think I have at least an hour or two. I say see ya later, and hang up. I pick up a few things, thinking I'll get to the other things later, but before they come. I sit down to put Hawk to sleep, and send Matt a quick text saying to text me when they're on their way. He texts back, "Coming."

I scramble. Try to figure out a decent centerpiece for the dining room table. pick up all the jackets and shoes. wipe down the crusty oatmeal that had dried on the table. Who knows, Maybe Todd himself would be coming. (just kidding). I just didn't know what or who to expect so I had to make it the most presentable as possible in the 15 minutes I had. Wouldn't you?

With all that being said, Photographer Weston and Matt showed up and made the decision that our house "would work". Then Weston asked how I felt about our family being in the pictures. I humbly said, "umm, I guess, yeah, sure". When really I wanted to say, "Heck yeah! Totally! My face be on the front page of the Vivint site? YES!". Jk, that's weird to think. But I was a little excited about the shoot.

Monday rolled around and we did the shoot. It was a lot of fun, especially for Cole who got to hang ornaments over and over for like 2 hours.

Thanks Weston and Vivint. Weston, your photography is FABULOUS, and Vivint, your system is AMAZING! Makes me feel safe when Matt's out late at work :)
