screaming...

have you ever been around something that made you so excited you felt like screaming?

not scared screaming.

happy, i cannot hold it in any longer, i have goosebumps, i am kid with too much sugar screaming. 

{sort of like when a toddler sees something they are SUPER excited about and squeals}

that was me.

this weekend.

watching the awesome  no, ridiculously amazing Blue Angels fly over my head.

and believe me when i say:

they are loud. 

and so crazy!

i don't even like riding bikes next to people because i am afraid we are going to crash,

or maybe our handle bars will get stuck together...

 let alone fly a jet plane going 700 MPH flying only 18 INCHES apart. 

in case you forgot, that is just a little longer than a standard ruler. 

holy moly.

i was like a kid on christmas morning. 

those crazy suckers bring my right back to my childhood
when i would run outside the house i grew up in 

to watch them race by and fill the sky with smoke.

i love summer! 

{the husband and his dad...we call him 'the todd'}

what are your summer traditions?

magical.

this is the picture i wanted to share. 

amazingly it is completely raw and un-edited.

i think that it is magical...

and i love it!

i told you so.

see...i told you he is going crazy.

this is what happens when i leave the husband 

stranded

for a whole week

at our apartment

without a car...

yikes.

1 year...

happy anniversary to the most handsome husband in all the land! 

one year and counting....

we've only got, oh... an eternity more! 

i am one lucky girl.

o-ficially done.

i did it! 

i am officially done with my master's in teaching program.

phew. 

it has been a long year. 

to say the least.

i have learned a lot. 

prepared a lot. 

stressed out...a lot.

neglected the husband a lot. 

lost sleep...a lot. 

and gone a little crazy.

but it has been oh, so worth it...becuase I AM DONE! 

{hopefully i will be able to teach this little guy some day!}

that's all! 

happy friday friends! 

:) 

me! a photographer?!

the husband and i are taking our friends' engagement pictures today...
have we ever taken any one's engagement pictures before?
well...no.

last month we shot a different friend's wedding video.

i am noticing a trend here...and yikes.
 i am pretty sure wedding photography is not on my resume.
nor do i claim to be a good photographer...
but here goes nothing!

i will let you know how it goes!
{fingers are crossed it goes well!}

wedding pictures.

due to many requests...here are some wedding pictures! 

the fourth.

we are back! after 2 days of tent sleeping, pigging out, and having a blast...we are back home and trying to get back into 'normal' day to day stuff again. 

i love the fourth of july...

spending time with family...

watching fireworks...

 eating s'mores by the fire...

playing on the beach...

it just doesn't get much better that that.

{feeling patriotic!}

{this was the husband and my residence for the weekend...very chic, we know...}

{playing bocce ball on the beach, a favorite family beach game.}

{enjoying the sunshine!}

can't hold it in any longer!!

i am going to be a FIRST GRADE TEACHER next year!! 

i just got the call, and i am literally bursting at the seams. 

this has been amazing year, and i cannot believe i am being blessed with...

 my dream job!!!

inspirational.

i wanted to share a video that the husband made...

he has a video production company and makes boring (but really good) business videos for his job.

however, in his spare time he comes up with videos like this one... i think he has a gift, but then again, i might be a little biased...

enjoy! :)

new camera.

i am so excited about my new camera!

new camera= more pictures on the blog. i have gotten a lot of requests for more pictures...i haven't heard anything the other way, and if you enjoy just the writing, please, let me know! i would love any and all opinions of you readers out there. ;)

anyway, like i said in my birthday blog post, the husband killed me (almost) by buying me my dream camera. now i just like to snap shots of whatever is around me. i thought i w

ould share a few pictures that i have taken...just for fun! :)

{gotta love a man in uniform...and yes that is my man!}

;]

my birthday.

do you remember me? i used to blog. and then i got busy, stressed and had a birthday!

lets rewind to may 28th...

i had such a wonderful, fun filled birthday weekend. the husband took me to dinner and a movie on saturday to celebrate a day early, then about killed me, with shock, when he gave me a new camera for my birthday! i was SO surprised!

saturday, the 29th, on the actual day of my birth te-hee, my dad took the husband and i to dinner. it was delicious! after dinner we went to my father-in-laws where my sister-in-law had made me the coolest cake in the shape of a 24! she's a creative one she is...

isn't it awesome!

again i was in dis-belief when i opened up the gift from her family......the

y got me american idol live tickets!!! no judging now, i am about 12 years old and i am so excited it hurts. now i just have to wait until july 8th. time kills.

that is pure shock right there...

to top off this fun filled weekend, one of my all time life-long dream/goals came true. the husband, brother and i went hiking this morning and we looked up and in front of us was....A BEAR! of course, my dream is coming true and what do i do?...oh i definitely ran the other direction...and i was the one with the camera. drrrrrrr. oops. well at least i got one paparazzi shot for proof.

(although the bear was literally in the middle of the trail, perfectly visible, and i snapped this after it walked away). oh well.

hope you're doing well! i feel like i have been letting everyone down by not posting...life is slowing down, i will be around more :)
