speaking of loving...

i know he's my husband
but man i love this guy!
this shot is from our dear and talented friend
okay he's not officially a sir but he should be
not only is he a photographer for fossil
he also moonlights as a freelance photographer
who wakes up for his art
literally
that were all taken in the wee hours of the
morn at white rock lake
the way he captured the light,
the hubs' sexy 5 o'clock shadow
the whole bit
genius sir dalton
genius!

why is taylor having oh so fancy photo shoots
in the fields of white rock at sunrise
sporting the latest and greatest in mens' wear?
because we have to make mortgage people
kidding..ha- kind of

ACTUALLY...
these shots are to promote
something pretty major
his second album
releasing 10.22.11 on itunes!!!!

tell
like i said before
it's pretty major!

hope you all enjoy it as much as i do

happy birthday laura!

happy birthday laura!
for a chic that rocks
literally
not only does she rock out with the black frames...

she rocks a romper at the winspear AND she rocks at being a friend!

we started out as co-workers, then we became friends
now i'm lucky to call laura more than just a friend-
yoga bud, book club gal, music maven, fashion femme(the girl has style!),
brunch, lunch & dinner date, fellow crafter and neighbor

(and for the record- those are just a few of her roles- she is multi talented
and wears many hats- seriously it's pretty amazing- i can only take notes in hopes to keep up)

happy birthday buzz
hope you have a beautiful day!
love ya!

let it go

and
LET GOD
this passage
tugs at my heart strings
it speaks to me
and my everyday struggles
with needing to control,
plan and yes.... worry&stress
about life
no matter how many times i read it
believe it
and meditate on it
it still is difficult for me
to put to practice in my own life

is such an amazing book!
i'm smack dab in the middle of it
and i love how challenging it is
of christianity
of faith
and of god's love in our life

i love yall' like crazy
:-)
