Lifes Lessons

Happy Birthday to me! (well I guess its tomorrow, but my hubby has planned the whole day so I won't be getting on the computer:)) I got to thinking how I will be 22 and all the fabulous years I have had to learn and grow. I was at work one day (so maybe I was, or maybe I wasn't doing my job) , and I started writing a list of 22 life lessons I have learned or am still learning. It was pretty rad to write these truths on paper and see how each lesson has shaped and molded my life in one way or another. Behind every one of these learned truths is an experience or a story that I would never take back. I hope you enjoy, and I hope this provokes some thought about your life and things you have learned during this great journey of life!

1.Submitting to life and situations is the only way for me to enjoy the good, the bad, and the ugly.

2. Men and Women are COMPLETELY different

3. The most important of all the most important decisions is who you marry.

4. There is FAR more good in the world than bad... You just have to search for it.

5. Best book of all time.... Les Miserable.

6. Mitt Romney is the Man.

7. My husband is even a cooler man.

8. Life does not end when a loved one dies.

9. Trying to be perfect is WAAAYY overrated.

10. Shopping cures a bad day. (My Robbie read this list before I posted it, and he agreed with all my lessons, except this one.... I guess he will just keep having bad days till he learns this lesson:))

11. Having faith and devotion in a higher power makes everything make sense.

12. Trying to Balance life sucks! Between serving others, homework, church callings, spending time with loved ones, relaxing, spiritual time, working, cleaning, and getting 8-10 hours of sleep every night.... Who in their right mind expects all that to get done in 24 hours??

13. Seinfeld is perhaps the best T.V. show of all time.

14. I have the greatest parents/step mom on the planet.

15. Losing my mom was the hardest thing of my life.

16. Giving up two years of your life to serve in a cause you know will change the world is the most noble thing you can do.

17. People who have different views and ideas are the people I want to be friends with.

18. To have unconditional love for a person is the ONLY way to get them to change.

19. After being a Pre-School teacher, I now know why we are commanded to become as little children.

20. Chasing my dream to be a photographer has been the most rewarding experience of my life.

21. Losing weight is freaking hard!

22. Being married to my best friend makes my life totally ROCK!

Here are my life lessons... I would love to hear of some you have learned...

Parkinglots and Prettiness

Sometimes when you are waiting in a parking lot for your peeps to show up you can get pretty bored... Oh not me. I had my camera with me and entertained myself by taking pictures of yours truly. I know pathetic?

Here's proof....



I thought this was cute:) The light in my car was oh so delicious!


Okay but now the real point. Megan was the girl I was waiting for. And oh was she worth wait! I knew from the second she e-mailed me I was going to like her. She was so witty and real in her e-mails we corresponded back and forth to each other. I knew she was my kind of girl! Enjoy!

Lucky Me

When I was a little girl I always fantasized about my knight in shinning armor. He was going to be strong, tall, dark, spiritual, funny, all the good things a girl wants. Now after being married for over 2 years. I never even imagined the man I would be bless with. All my girly dreams have come true and more!

Right now as I am writing, Wobbie Man (aka Robbie) is at the grocery store. He went with out me so I could stay and edit and continue making my dreams come true.....

How did I get so lucky?

Here is a preview from my shoot tonight.

Keep in mind she is 13 :)

John and Ashley Preview

Oh words cannot explain the immediate love I developed for you two!!

Aren't they adorable???





They both wear glasses so they wanted some "nerd" pictures. I think they are too good looking to be nerds.

Oh Andrea!

I seriously love my clients! Getting to know them is by far the best part of my job




I am so happy she brought her Student Council Jacket!





I think she looks like a model....

Ballerina Beauty Part 2

I couldn't resist. I had to put one more up!! EEK!!!!

Ballerina Beauty

Im obsessed.

Blissfulness

What does one do when she has a day off?


Well she attends lunch with her girlifriends and sits in Zupas for 4 hours and then gets delicicousness at Maggie Moos (cinamoo bun and pumpkin ice crem mixed with brownie.)




She then plays with the gummies her hubby suprised her with from his Dental interview to AZ





And then tops the night off dominating her hubby at the one and only classic Ticket to Ride.



(So maybe I won one game and he one the other, but I think it sounds better that I skooled his face)



P.S. Europe Ticket to Ride is WAY better than USA. Its got more of a challenge plus you get to be educated on what Europe looked like in 1809... or something like that. You get to learn and have fun! What a perfect combination!!!

Previews up the wazooo.....

Oh my I have been so busy!!! I have loved every second of it though. Seriously thank you so much to all my wonderful clients. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for letting me capture your magical moments! Much love!
