Summer Slump

-
I am definitely hit a summer slump. I am drawing a blank on what to blog about and what to do. With kimmel working his pizza job hours i feel like i am single again at nights. I need to be proactive with hanging with my friends. So i thought i might to my top 3 things i like about texas, in no specific order. Yes 3 cause aside from Kimmel his family and friends there is much to be desired when living here :)

1. The sunsets year round are GORGEOUS!
Due to the flat terrain you can see for miles and miles as the sky changes colors and its just a beautiful reminder of God's creativity...and i think mercy cause we don't have much else to look at here haha

2. Seeing Horses with their colt or filly.
We live in a suburban area, but there are pockets of ranches and farms i guess near our home. We even have a boarding place right next to our neighborhood. Just recently i saw some new lil horses out running and playing with their mom's or uncles. Its a neat sight i have not grown up around and i really like it. It always brings a smile to my face when i see it! My niece road horses for a while and i thought that was sooo cool!

3. Downtown Fort Worth
This is an amazing downtown if i might say myself. They have two great events i love to attend each year. Their christmas parade and lighting of the tree and the Arts Festival in April. I love being around all the families at the christmas parade seeing the kids get all excited, and then all the other types of people that come out for the arts fest are fun! The art is great, the weather is typically decent and i love people watching!

I think the 100 degree weather that we have had all week and will remain this next week has spured my thoughts of dislike to this place so i must think positively. Its hard when you come from paradise to this. I guess its how Adam and Eve felt when they left the garden...i kid i kid :)

Enjoy where ever you are cause just like me God has you there for a reason! I love him for it cause His plan and ways are better than mine!! Hears to seeing God's good everywhere!!! Even if i am sweeting hahaha :)

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics
