Wanting this Wednesday...

...A new bedroom set.
I'm loving ALL of these from Bed Bath & Beyond, but can't choose a favorite!
Any suggestions?!

Dreams.

They say the only person to stop you from fulfilling your dreams is yourself...
I don't want that to be the case for me.
I have big dreams and little dreams.
Some crazy dreams and some silly dreams..
But to me they are all worth reaching for.
Now I'm sure you all know I have a little thing for photography.
A teeny, tiny little love.
Just kidding.
I could look at, and take photos for hours.
I'm at the stage in my life where I love my dental hygiene job, but down the road can definitely see myself getting more into the photography side of things.
And when I do, I want to be good.
I want to take pictures that matter, and that are worth hanging on the wall.
So, my friends, I am taking a little trip to Phoenix.
No, not just to warm up....but also to learn.


To learn from a lady who takes wonderful photos.
Photographs that inspire me.
Her name is Nicole Hill Gerulat.

She was the lady behind the lens of the photo below.
Yes, that's Naomi and Josh from that wonderful winter session they did with Nicole.


She is teaching a crash coarse in Phoenix, so a friend and I are heading down there for a long weekend.
We cannot wait to soak up the sun, as well as everything little thing Nicole has to say.
She has amazing reviews from photographers that have taken her classes, and she sells out fast.
Along with taking her Phoenix course, I will also be studying with her the month of April through an on-line program, and I might just be jet-setting this summer to see her again.
I am so excited.
Dreams gotta start somewhere right?



Jace..


You Rock.
I am completely proud of you for passing your National Board exams.
I never thought I could be so nervous for anyone else...
..I had a stomach ache all afternoon just waiting for your phone call.

PS. Don't make me sleep here alone ever again.
It is not fun.
I repeat, it is NOT fun.

Love him and road-trips.


Jace and I headed a few hours east last Saturday to spend Valentine's Day in Billings, MT!
We didn't do anything over the top, but just getting out of town, and being out and about with him is wonderful.
The weather was cruddy, so we made a pitstop along the way to hang out with one of my best friends, Miranda, and her family.
I also got to hold my little "niece" Aspen!
She is still such a doll, and I think Jace loved her just as much as I did.
Once we finally got to Billings we headed to Sam's Club.
I went straight to get a triple-berry sundae.
Please don't judge.
We also got to see the wiener truck.
I didn't even know these things were for real.
You could sing them their song and get a free wiener whistle.
I didn't do it.
Had it been anything other than a wiener whistle...
....Maybe.

From there, we stopped at a few other places doing some random shopping, we had some great food, and spent some time at our favorite place..
Barnes and Noble.
We wish everyday that we had a Barnes and Noble in our town.
We would be frequent visitors.

We spent the night at the Crown Plaza, and we highly recommend using Price-line.
We had a wonderful room for a great price!
It was great just getting away and having some time for each other.
We hope your Valentine's weekend was just as wonderful!!


Don't smile for this one.


There is absolutely nothing charming about passport photos.
In fact, if you want to turn a perfectly good day a little upside down- go get your passport photo taken.
I got up. Got ready for the day.
Had my hair down, make-up on...out the door I went.
Upon arrival I had to wipe off some of my make-up and not smile for my photo.
I'm sure some girls out there can rock that pose....
Not this girl.
It's a good thing I don't head out of the country too often,
otherwise I'd have to look at that incredibly hot photo far more often than I do .
That was a major joke, if you missed it.
Those darn pictures are far from attractive on many people, even if they are serving a purpose.

Please be wrong.

Lord help me if these rumors are true that Jake was spotted with Vienna recently.
That can only mean one thing--and I don't like it.


Jake, you should have brought Ali back, fallen in love, and made a few babies.
Your life would probably be perfect.
At least I think so.

Or pick Tenley. She's about as sweet as they come.

Just not that other thing.
I beg you.
