bloggers are SO inspiring. i just continue to become more and more fascinated with the creativity and wit and wise words that lies at all of our fingertips. the eye for beauty that individuals have is pretty incredible.

thank you to my top 5 favorites at the moment (suprising that most of them have to do with wedding photography).

thanks for the chat tonight. love you with all my heart.



good luck on your tests!

2. working from home in bed.
literally on/in my bed all day long while the rain came down quite hard. i don't think it let up all day long. so cozyyyy.
3. phone replacements.
poor little phone trapped in the rainy gutter for an hour. thankfully i was able to transfer to a new phone before she fully shut down. and, it was f-r-e-e. my oh my i'm l-u-c-k-y.
4. lulu beanies.
loving my new black lulu beanie. i originally had a green one until ames claimed it for herself. thank you, meg!
5. gratitude wrap.
not only is the name perfect for me, but this warm cozy wrap has been my bff since the night of october 4th. thanks mom!

i've always had an obsession with quotes. i blame it on mary engelbreit...a childhood fascination that started with her calendars in my stocking every year. i remember spending countless hours snipping out quotes and designs from all versions of her calendar - daily, monthly, desk - and pasting them everywhere. lockers, pencil boxes, mirrors, doors, frames, bulletin boards. there really were no limits to where one could paste a quote for a healthy reminder to be happy.
i guess i've always craved those reminders wherever i am in life.
i've collected and accumulated thousands of quotes along the way. in fact, my word doc adding up to 12,000+ words and 37 pages doesn't even do it justice.

one i will leave you with today that i keep repeating in my mind and even picturing the ms. engelbreit design pasted above the handle on the back of my childhood room door...

"time eases all things."

believe in this.

i am so thankful for my guardian angel best friends. if i have learned one good lesson lately it is that i am surrounded by amazing friends. how does the lulu manifesto read?
wake up and realize you are surrounded by amazing friends.

i am, indeed. thank you for making my birthday week so incredibly special. i am thanking you with all my thanks.

xoxo.
