the big news

for starters, 

remember that wedding in april that i helped lesley ann shoot?

well the pictures are ready! (this is where you say wooo hooo!)

even though the link is over to your right... 

and i hope you all have visited the website.

ill put it here just in case...

okay, so i just realized i have posted the wrong link to her blog over there. oops.

here is the right link.

i am very excited about the way they turned out.

i cant wait to shoot with her again.

so the big news of the week, well more big news.

i finally got rid of the crackberry and got an iphone.

the keyboard on the berry just decided not to work anymore,

so i used it to its full potential.

and of course you have got to have a cute cover, right!

just a little advertisement.

(sorry its a little yellow.)

remember me telling you that the lousiville slugger field had a beautiful entryway...

well here ya go.

and of course i had to make it b&w because im obsessed.

but isnt it just gorgeous.

i cant wait for one of my friends to have their reception there...

hinthinthint.

alright... im going to attempt to go running with my husband and brady (hinthinthint).

see you guys on the flip side...

or at bdubs! 

woo hoo.

a lesson for friday

my husband was not amused with me pouring cold water over the shower.

so he locked the door.

then i tried to take the door knob off, but he said he wouldnt put it back on.

now we are going to five guys and a movie... aka: a date.

just a little household rivalry for a friday night.

on another note, a lady at my job... 

well old job, it ended today... 

asked me to take pictures of her precious 15 month old.

hopefully they will all look like this.

have a wonderful friday evening friends!

and next time you try to throw cold water over the shower at your husband,

make sure he cant see you sneaking in the bathroom.

wedding pictures!

i took this one...

and lesley ann took this one.

yayyy. i cant wait for her to finish editing them all.

im back in wilson, but not back to louisville yet.

sorry for the lack of creative juices.

if i do something fun, you will be the first to know.

ps... since i know you are reading this...

i miss you husband!

on the road again.

so as you all remember, because im sure you do, this weekend is  the wedding that im shooting with lesley ann. i checked the forecast and they are calling for rain unfortunately. so i found this photo on none other that pintrest which i think is pretty appropriate...

but here is one that i would rather see!

but either way it will be a beautiful day.

and their wedding is in a church so it will be okay if it rains.

also, i have heard it is good luck... but who believes in luck! :)

see you in NC!

lazy saturday afternoon

so i promised you a recipe for those brownies i made earlier this week.

i would recommend to try them without the oreos... which arent even in this recipe.

this saturday has definitely not been as exciting as the past couple of saturdays, but im okay with that. we slept late and by late i mean 12:30. it was so wonderful. i was exhausted and j just doesnt have an excuse. :) we have been lazy all day and watched a lot of law and order... in case you didnt know we are obsessed thanks to netflix which gives us way to much access to it. this morning shortly after we woke up- shortly enough that we were still in "sleep wear"- there was a knock on the door. j took off running for some clothes and grabbed what he could. when he opened the door there was no one there, but there was the perfect size box waiting for me. now, i forgot to tell you guys that i finally ordered my much coveted- i know, very sinful!- camera bag [note: same camera bag, different pattern-which is new and i love very much... ehh!] that i have been wanting since ohh september when i got my camera. since im shooting this wedding in a couple of weeks with the lovely lesley ann i of course really NEEDED this camera bag. there is that word again. so he finally let me order it on monday... and i should really say the budget finally let me order it. 

j decided to open the box and make a big to-do about unwrapping it and surprising me.

and it was very fun actually!

behold the beauty.

i suggested a monogram but j said "why would you do that?"

i guess maybe i shouldnt monogram everything.

my wonderful husband and i also spent time reading the Bible together and it was just so encouraging to hear him read to me and pray for me and our family. i am incredibly thankful for such a Godly husband. i am blessed to have a man that encourages me to have a strong walk with the Lord and also helps me pursue that walk. i love you very much for that j!

and now we are trying to decide what church to go to tomorrow. 

ill be glad when we have a church here.

if you live in this area or even if you just know of a church here,

 we would love some suggestions!

now off to bed because my allergies are also rebelling against this city.

you lie like penny in a parking lot at the grocery store.

if you havent heard the band perry yet you should really check them out. pretty catchy... and fun fact for the night, j knows the drummer- who used to be the drummer for december radio. check them out too! and what ever happened to shedaisy... 

"i will, i will, i will be your everythinggg"

okay enough of the music review.

we gotta get down to it.

i took these lovely pictures on the campus of southern today.

as you can see the weather is gorgeous.

i was supposed to be meeting my husband to go for a walk when he got off at 6 and we were supposed to be making homemade pizza for dinner (maybe you will see pictures of that tomorrow night). well, he had called me a bunch of times but i didnt hear it and by time i got to my phone what do you know the radio tower was off because the battery had gotten too low. now you say, m why dont you charge your phone at night? you see, i do. my blackberry is so old i have to charge it twice a day. (i hear voices in my head saying "you need an iphoneee...") anyway- i couldnt call him so i went and parked by his car thinking he would eventually come to it while my phone charged. that is when i couldnt help but whip the camera out. to make a long story short, i finally got some battery and called him and its a good thing because he was calling to say he had to work late. (in fact he just walked in the door) side note- he was setting up all the sound stuff and things that go along with that because JD Greear and Shane and Shane will be here this weekend. you bet im going to hear that awesome preaching and hopefully some north carolina accent! and of course some amazing music!

i should go spend some time with my husband since we have an hour together tonight. but ill leave you with this amazing project. i really want to try these very soon. 

and i like how her husband helped her. do you think mine will? mhmm...

its almost friday loves!

brilliant idea

i had a brilliant idea today... as you can tell. :)

in april one of my best friends lesley ann has asked me to be her second shooter for a wedding she is photographing, which im totally beyond excited about. i started thinking about this and how i could prepare. there is alot of emotion in weddings and important things to capture, right? well i have decided until the wedding i will post a picture a day of something that is very important, meaningful, or just stuck out to me that day.  it will help me capture small things and also things that i wouldnt normally think about, and it will help me to be more grateful. it will also help all of you get to know me more and see our everyday life. 

so starting tomorrow... haha... i will post a picture. 

i hope this inspires you to come back!
