After the Wedding

I shot photos at my friend's T&J's wedding in May. The day was kind of crazy and we didn't get as many photos of the two of them as we would have liked. So,  last week we got together and they dressed up in their wedding clothes and we took some more photos!
 This one of J kissing T is one of my favorite shots!



Getting together after the wedding was much more relaxed and they weren't worried about guests and what not. So we were able to take many photos and have relaxed fun!

On a similar note, check out the photos on this blog post from Spanki Mills.
The post is titled "Trash the Dress". I love it!!

Day 3 of Changes

Wait, what? Where are days 1 and 2? And what changes?

I've had enough and decided I need to make some real changes in my life. I want to be healthier and more active and whatnot so...

Day 1 of change involved salad. I like salads, but I don't eat enough of them. Apparently, my husband thought we should eat more of them as well because he also bought salad stuff on the very same day. (It's funny how in-sync we are with each other sometimes, despite not having a discussion about it at all.) So, lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes were bought. The tomatoes are grown by this company: Vermont Hydroponic - Big, Beautiful tomatoes and oh, so yummy! Hooray for local!! :)
Day 2 - I got a hair cut. Really it was more of a trim than a cut. But afterwards, I decided it was time for a change in hair color!
Now, these photos don't actually show the true hair color. I don't know what the problem was but I could not get the real color to show through.

This is what the box looked like:
And it really came out like a light-ish brunette/dark blonde color. Whatever, I like it and it accomplished something.

But, Alice, coloring your hair isn't a change to make you healthier. No, but it makes me feel prettier and feeling good is a healthy thing!

Day 3 - TODAY! Today I continue eating better and tonight I am going to a jewelry class! My friend K.L.S. makes and sells beautiful beaded jewelry and occasionally she gets some people together and shows them how to make certain items.

Tonight we'll be making up-cycled soda can earrings:


A necklace from these fun jade beads:

And a necklace with matching earrings from sea glass and a charm of our choice:
(Of the all the items we make tonight, I think this will be my absolute favorite!)

Movie Review-ish, Going the Distance



I love movies! I am an admitted movie-aholic.

Going the Distance certainly has made it into my top favorite movies. I loved, loved, loved it!

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long have a great dynamic. The movie itself was clever and funny. It was not a stupid, groan-funny - it was a laugh out loud, HA HA FUNNY, want to watch again!

More of my top movies include (in no particular order)

There certainly are so many more, but this was just a short list to show you what I like. You may or may not agree with me. I like to be entertained and not feel like crying and staying in bed for a week after watching a movie.

Do you have any favorites that you think everyone else in the world should also favorite?
