onward- to the ranch!





i am currently waiting for taylor to get home so we can leave for the ranch. i am soooo excited to be getting out of town to clear my head a bit. i'm so glad to get away. i'm in a bit of transition right now...without going into to much detail and putting it all out there- let's just say i'm trying to decide how to move forward and leave it at that. what better way to ease my mind, reflect, and spend quality time with the fam with the beautiful backdrop of the texas country? highlights this weekend will include swimming- floating in the pool, reading by the pool, maybe shopping in town, spotlighting at night, stargazing and chilaxin on the patio. yes i just said chilaxin- can't believe i use that lingo..if you can even call it that. i'm bringing the 'puter' to design a bit because there will be plenty of down time and if that means i pick up the mouse and get some work done so be it. no pressure though- this is a holiday:) and if i'm lucky mister man (aka- baby luke) will come for a visit monday!!! everyone have a fun safe weekend!

motivational monday






sometimes on sunday you need a little motivational monday.
because isn't the dread of monday on a sunday a little worse than the actual monday? :)

ellen and travis- married!

this weekend we went to not one but two outdoor weddings. the first was on saturday in rockwall at a beautiful home- almost an estate if you will. i hope my amateur shots do it justice. the whole evening was lovely! i loved the floating white lanterns and wild bouquets in watering cans on the tables. the food was southern down home cooking served family style at the table. one of the most exciting parts of the evening was when taylor and i learned that in lieu of wedding cake was moon pies and harrys' frozen custard. if you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing the crack/what dreams are made of that is harrys' then really don't bother. honestly you will never be the same. stay away :) anyways---got a little off track- back to the lovely wedding. it was such a nice and informal and intimate ceremony. the landscape was beautiful and matched the fun loving personality of ellen and travis. enjoy the pics! we are so happy for you both! sorry- i did a kind of play by play with my camera during the ceremony. i swear i'm not a stalker-
