My future in-laws are the BEST!

Just sayin.

Tucanos Birthday date night.

Picture this.

Dave and I ran 4 miles to Tucanos for date night. I wanted to look somewhat fancy so I ran in my skirt with my shoes in hand and hair down.

I bet we were quite the sight for the passing drivers.

High on endorphins, we laughed as we gobbled up everything in sight.

Engage.

My dreams are coming TRUE!

4/27

Being a visually oriented individual has it's perks and it's downsides. Walking outdoors is such a treat, feeling the sun, hearing the breeze is always a rejuvinating experience for me. Sometimes all I think to myself is, "If people could see the world the way I see the world, nobody could find a reason to complain." There are times that words can't explain the way I feel, but the rest of my senses capture *me* perfectly. PS someday I hope I can afford a camera provides my perspective but that will probably be a while.

Unfortunately, this talent of mine creates some issues for myself. Basically, I have an unattainable expectation for my self image. Which makes taking pictures for my wedding the MOST intimidating aspect of marriage for me (right now.) We took engagements yesterday and I was so nervous. I even ran nine miles the day before. First off, the dress I was hoping to take our pictures in didn't come. My toenail came all the way off and it looked like it was going to rain. REGARDLESS of all that, I really feel like God looked out for me yesterday. He has been a lot lately and I'm so grateful for that.

At work, I decided to watch Sabrina. It is one of those movies that I like the remake just as much as the original (which is not average.) Not only was it so romantic but I got all giddy. Then my teeth looked whiter and my mascara went on just how I liked it. Dave....oh I can't even start about him...he looked SO good. I love that beard of his and he wore the colors that really brings out his eyes.

Marco Greis was phenomenal. He was so much fun to work with and I would recommend him to anyone. He made me feel pretty and that's hard to do. When he sent us the first round of pictures my jaw dropped and I couldn't stop looking at them.  I can only dream that the rest of wedding photos will go as well as this last time. I am shocked and amazed with how wonderful this experience has turned out. Thank you.

A birthday party.

It was oh so lovely!

Colors!

First off, I don't know what happened to the other posts on here but I know what I want my colors to be. Yellow, purple and grey!!!! They are my favorite colors and with all of the other possible combinations I had one or the other but it never felt right.  Yay! Finally.

So there. Done.

Also...

We FINALLY almost have our colors finalized. Here is a sample of some of our ideas.

Spring has Sprung! and you know what that means...

Mom

• My mother's parents probably really liked Dr. Suess because her name is Cindy Lou Orton/Richards.
• My mother introduced me to this world and she did it in the loveliest way. I have such a love for the world around me and mom always fully supported me by encouraging me to be outside all of the time as a kid. Nature has brought me a greater appreciate for my blessings and contributed to finding my purpose in life. 
• She has a strong work ethic and taught us to always be involved.
• She looks like a supermodel but beats all the men in sports. 
• My mother would rather receive a letter, do a family activity or  have something she cares about be taken care of  more than receive any other present.
• No matter what I say, she has a trillion more qualities I could/should have included.

I love her dearly and hope she recognizes a smidgen of how much she means to me.
