Good Friday

One of my favorite blogs is Jones Design Company. Emily combines so many of my favorite things: design, pretty things, crafts, decorating, & Jesus. For Easter she put together this gorgeous "He is Risen" collection.

I think it's so pretty & could be on display all year ( all it also happens to come in my favorite - turquoise). Such a great daily reminder of the price Jesus paid for us & that he conquered death.

Happy Easter!  Hope you have a great weekend! 

Road Trip

Back in January we took a road trip to Colorado Springs. We went to visit my Hubby's grandparents. We had a lot of fun and spent half the trip at the casinos. His grandparents love to gamble. And to say his grandma has good luck is a huge understatement. Every time I'd turn around she was winning money. Thankfully the second day we went her good fortune rubbed off on me a little & I came home with a little shopping money.

I'm ashamed to say these were about the only pictures I took the whole time we were there. And more ashamed that I just now got these guys off my camera... 2 months later. Better late than never I guess?

Happy Valentines!

Happy Valentines Day! Hope yours is filled with lots of love & sweet treats!

Yesterday I stopped by Walmart on my way home from work... I don't think I've ever seen so many men there in my life! And lots of Dads with their kiddos. It took forever just to get my few things. Note to self: avoid Walmart on Feb 13th & 14th.

How cute is this picture? I think it'd be so cute in a little girl's room. Could practically design a whole room around this baby.

Styled Shoot

 Our friends, Phil & Andrea Chavanne have an amazing ranch here in Brady, called Selah Springs. You've always been able to rent it for exotic and deer hunts, retreats, or just a fun weekend. But now you can rent it for weddings. Their gorgeous lodge, with a huge wrap around porch (with an outdoor fireplace!) sits right above the San Saba river. We love any excuse to hang out there. It's so beautiful & relaxing. It's the perfect place for a Texas Hill Country Wedding.

A couple of weeks ago, Tim & I and our good friends, Will & Jes were asked to bust out our wedding wear for a "wedding shoot" at Selah Springs. Shuffield Photography & a couple of their photography friends put together a styled shoot for Selah Springs' new wedding page. It was really fun to wear my dress again, Tim didn't think it was quite as fun ;) but he was still a really good sport. He even left his golf tournament early, that he was winning. Now that's love people.

Christmas Pictures

A few weeks late but here is our Christmas session. Shuffield Photography took them... which also happens to be my place of work! Tisha & Jim (my bosses), are seriously talented, and wonderful people to work for. We shoot weddings, engagements, families, & seniors. And you can get all sorts of fun & fancy products with your photos on them. Click the link above to check out more of their work, or you can find them on Pinterest.

I insisted that the girls needed to be in our photos & that we needed a proper family picture :) They were surprising well behaved (as well as Tim for that matter). Below are just a few of my favorites. There are still about 100 more than I'm in love with.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my sweet hubby, Tim! He's turning the big 2-7 today. When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, his reply was "for my birthday, I want you to not spend money". How not fun is that? But it makes birthday shopping very easy, especially in a town where your only options are Walmart, Bealles, or not to procrastinate & online order. And unfortunately the Walkers put the Pro in procrastinate. So per Tim's request we'll be having an at home date. Can't say I make my birthday that easy on him. (It's month-o-birthday starting in March).

Tim- Time sure flies and I look forward to all of our future adventures together! Love you & Happy Birthday!
