Fortunately/Unfortunately

When I was in 5th grade, my teacher, Mrs. Richardson, had us write a book entitled Fortunately/Unfortunately. I don't necessarily remember what I wrote about then, but I've come up with a newer version -- a true life tale of my day yesterday.

Fortunately, I've been busy lately with work.
Unfortunately, I've been busy lately with work -- which apparently makes me a little distracted and all over the place.
Fortunately, I had a wedding Thursday night.
Unfortunately, along the way I realized the black dress shoes I needed to wear were not in the car like I thought. And then when I dropped the kids off, Aaron mentioned he could see my stripey bra through my two layer shirt. (Is it okay to talk about my bra on my family blog?!)
Fortunately, I was able to make a quick stop at Cato, where I found perfect shoes and a perfect bra both on clearance for cheap. In and out in five minutes.
Unfortunately, when I arrived, I was horrified to discover that in my rush to get out the door while helping a frustrated and tired Abby with homework, I somehow left an entire case (one of three) containing a crucial piece of equipment at home. (I am a total idiot. I can admit that.)
Fortunately, my wonderful photographer mother-in-law lived close and brought me hers to borrow.
Unfortunately, I was 35 minutes late because of my mistake.
Fortunately (for me. Unfortunately for her), the bride was 30 minutes later than I was.
Unfortunately, my eyes were itching like crazy.
Fortunately, they waited to get really bad until the wedding was over.
Unfortunately, my husband was asleep when I got home last night. (I always love getting to hang out with him when I get home.)
Fortunately, I have convinced him to shoot tomorrow's wedding with me. #1 Because he's actually really good. #2, I really like having him around. And #3, he will help me make sure my head stays on straight! (No small task!)

Fortunately, two people committed their lives to each other forever yesterday. And it was beautiful. And they chose me to document it... and I get to do it again tomorrow for another amazing couple. And at the end of the day, there's nothing unfortunate that can really overshadow that.
