I AM … happy
I WANT… to decorate for Christmas.
I HAVE … an amazing family :)
I KEEP … procrastinating
I WISH I COULD …get up at 6am and go to spin class 3 times a week.
I HATE … liers
I FEAR … forgetting the little moments
I HEAR … the boogie man.
I DON’T THINK … I am in shape like I used to be.
I REGRET … nothing.
I LOVE … spooning, pj pants, and Matt's smile :)
I AM NOT … a pessimist.
I DANCE … in the streets.
I SING … as loud as I can in the shower.
I NEVER … pee the bed.
I RARELY … lose my temper anymore.
I CRY WHEN I WATCH … P.S I love you
I AM NOT ALWAYS … energetic.
I HATE THAT … there aren't enough hours in the day
I’M CONFUSED ABOUT … why a lot of people don't like the snow.
I NEED … to sleep more.
I SHOULD … eat more chocolate :)

Oh yeah, we got a foot of snow on the weekend and I went for a photo adventure. Will post the shots soon!!

Big snow, little snow... Little snow, big snow!

So we got the first snow fall of the year! Now normally I would be super excited except I don't get my winter tires on til tomorrow. But it doesn't looking like it is staying so I think I'll be able to drive home. Phew :)

After reading through some entries on Jasmine Star's Blog I decided I wanted to start using my 50mm f/1.8 lens again. So the other night I was playing around with it and caught a really awesome photo of our cat Squeaky. I decided with the posting of the photo the store of how we got her would be appropriate...

Matt and I were looking to get a cat. Then when we were in Wentworth for his sister's wedding, we came across Squeaky. Matt's dad and sister went for a walk in a park one day and Squeaky just followed them home. She was living out of his garage for about a week and he was feeding her when we went to Wentworth. His dad called her Squeaky because when she meows it actually sounds like she is squeaking. We fell in love with her instantaniously and after the vet said she was fine we decided to take her home :)

Twilight

Soooo.. Yeah..... About the exercise thing.... ummm... To be honest, I kinda didn't get up early enough. In my defense I was up until like 1:30am ish editing and the spin class I was planning to attend was at 6:30am. Yikes! So Matt and I are going to bed early tonight and he is going to do everything in his power to wake me up nice and early tomorrow to go for a jog. So we'll see if that works or not. Wish me luck!!

On other news, my mom just got me into reading this amazing series. It's called Twilight by Stephanie Meyers. I fell in love with this series at the end of the first chapter. Stephanie is an absolute genious. She completely draws you into her book by giving you the thoughts of the main character Bella. I recommend this to any girl (and guy too) that likes a good chick book. The REALLY exciting part is that they have turned this first book into a movie. It premieres this Friday but my mom and I are dragging Matt to an advanced viewing on Thursday night!! Can't wait to see it! I'll write about it a week after I see it to give everyone time to go watch it if they are interested.

Here is the book cover..

And the actors :D

A New Start

So I have decided to start something new. I have been wanting to get in shape for the past couple of months but I have had a lot going on and just never got around to doing it. So I figured if I posted my progress out here on the world wide web it would motivate me to keep it up and work hard.

I have decided to start easy by going to some exercise classes at my gym. I used to go to a lot of spin classes so maybe I'll start there. YAY for getting up at 6:00am! Ha ha ha. I'll just get Matt to push me out of bed. Think that will work? Maybe....

So in light of the new start I figured I would post a little comic about exercise, one that should catch Matt's attention, AHEM.



Have a good week everyone!

Oh Rainy Days....

I have decided to try posting every day. If I have new photos you bet they will be up here but if not I'm just going to talk about anything on my mind.

Today there is a few things....

*1- Rain... I absolutely love the rain. There is nothing better than a warm summer day with lots of showers. Not to mention it puts me to sleep. There is something so comforting in the consistent drip drop of rain. Maybe I'm just weird but who knows? Ha ha ha.

*2- Matthew... Not so long ago we just started to work together and who would have thought we would fall in love. The thing that drew me in most about Matthew is his smile and his humor. He is always making me laugh whether it is from acting silly or pinning me down and tickling me. I still get butterflies in my stomach when I think about seeing him. As he would say, he is my ying to my yang. I am ecstatic that I have finally found him and I have become happier than I could have imagine now that we are together. :) I love you babe.

*3- Jasmine Star... So I love blogs (although I don't post much in my own). Jasmine Star's blog is absolutely amazing. She post her wedding and engagement session photos on there and also just about anything else that is going on in her life. She is an amazing photographer and an amazing person and I hope to build my own portfolio to the caliber that hers is at. Check out her blog here.

Well, here's to hoping I post more and get my butt to the gym. :D

Jacki & Jeremy

This beautiful October I had the chance to photograph Jacki & Jeremy making their vows. Jacki is actually Matt's sister so I had the privilege of already knowing most of the family there. These people are absolutely amazing to be around. Jacki, Jeremy and the whole bridal party were very easy to work with and were open to any ideas I had.

The day was gorgeous, sunny and warm with a little bit of a breeze. So unfortunately we had to go in the shade a lot. Ha ha ha. But even in the shade you could tell how happy this couple is :) I am very honored to have helped document this important event in their lives and wish them the best of luck in a long, happy marriage.

Thank you two so much for giving me this once in a life time opportunity :) I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.
