This past Saturday, I spent 8am to 3 pm enjoying life on a pontoon boat, and it was bliss! It was my first time on a bigger boat. I’ve canoed (at girl scout camp) and paddle boated (with my dad, uncle and cousin), but I had never been on a “real” boat before. After Ryan …

Showin’ Some Love: Some Blogs I Love
I have sat here… I kid you not… for at least an hour trying to decide what to write about. I have some ideas for future posts, but they aren’t quite ready yet – most are only half-formed. So I thought I’d do another Showin’ Some Love post and focus on other blogs I love. …
Listen and Embrace
Ryan and I went to see X-Men First Class with his family last week for my brother-in-law’s birthday. I love the X-Men movies and the theme behind them: It’s okay to be different – celebrate and be proud of your differences. I love this theme – this idea of celebrating our differences, of being proud …
This Weekend’s Wedding…
As Ryan and I were going over the plans for the weekend, I reminded him that we have his cousin’s wedding on Saturday. I laughed and teased that I won’t know what to do with myself just sitting at the wedding since I’m not the photographer for Andy and his lovely bride. Ryan teased right …

Moving Forward… Joel’s College Graduation
Yesterday I was lucky enough to be able to take the trip down to Greenville, IL with my family to watch my younger brother, Joel, graduate from college. It was a very nice ceremony in one of the gyms on campus. The only downside is there was no air conditioning in the building and it …
Choices…
Every day we are given the opportunity to make a choice. Actually many choices. When we get up in the morning we choose whether to get up with the alarm or hit the snooze button. We choose what to wear, how to do our hair and make-up, whether or not to eat breakfast. There are …
DIY Project: Paper Bag Butterfly Wreath
I can’t take credit for this idea… I found it on a DIY Blog called MaryJanes & Galoshes. But I loved this beautiful wreath so much I wanted to give it a try and I enjoyed it so much I thought I’d share it with all of you! So what you’ll need: • 1 Foam …
Showin’ Some Love
It’s been a while since I did a Showin’ Some Love Post, so here’s some things I’m loving this week! • My Painted Kitchen Cabinets As you know, we’ve started working on our kitchen… as inexpensively as possible. So for now we’ve painted our cabinets. What’s funny is I photoshopped a picture of our kitchen …
Meet Kit… | Pet Photography
Meet Kit…. Yes. This is my dog. He very much enjoys tearing around our yard at top speed… especially when he know I’m trying to take pictures of him. He’s an ornery little dog… I managed to get this shot during the 5 seconds he sat still. Notice how he’s not looking at me? When …
