Snapshots of Life

Sevier Park + 68 degree weather + a cute boy & the most precious dog = amazing day :)

p.s.- I'm going to Boston on Friday. I might be just a little excited. Maybe.

30 Days of Photos- Day 6

Day 6: A picture of a person you would love to trade places with for a day-

Jennifer Nettles. I've said for years that I would kill for the chance to be her for a day. There's something about her energy, both on & off the stage that I absolutely love. Not only is she a great vocalist, but she has a magnetic stage presence & a knowledge of the industry to go with that. Sugarland was one of the first bands to really explore the boundaries of social media & they're still at the forefront of innovation with it today. I think a day in the life of Jennifer Nettles would be a blast :)

30 Days of Photos- Day 5

Day 5: A picture of your favorite memory

This one was really hard for me, but I have to go with my last spring break of college. Ana, Erin & I packed up & headed to Nashville for a few days of fun... and I can't even think about that trip without smiling. Each of us was a little down with life situations going into the trip, but it turned out to be the most fun we've ever had. It was simple with lower broadway both night & a little time at the park & shopping during the day... but the time together was exactly what each of us needed.

30 Days of Photos- Day 4

Day 4: A picture of your night-

Since I'll completely forget about this later tonight, I'm going to do pictures of last night. And well, let's be honest here.... I forgot to take any pictures last night so these are internet pictures of my night :)

Shawn & I had a super lazy, low key Sunday night. The highlight for me was going to one of my favorite restaurants in my neighborhood, Burger Up. I've only been a few times, but I just love the food & the atmosphere. It's a very modern feel with candles & these amazing wooden tables that have stolen my heart (I seriously want one in my kitchen!). And the food is killer. They have really unique burgers and even sweet potato fries :). Burger Up is always a good choice in my opinion.

After dinner we decided to hit redbox & be lazy. Somehow we ended up with The Hurt Locker, probably because it was almost the only thing that we hadn't seen. It wasn't my favorite movie of all time, but it definitely wasn't awful either. It keeps you on edge the entire time & paints a pretty sad picture of military life. It's worth watching for the $1 that redbox costs.

All in all, I'd say it was a pretty perfect Sunday night :)

30 Days of Photos- Day 3

I forgot to post yesterday, so it's a double dose today. Enjoy :)

Day 3: A picture of the cast from your favorite tv show-

Yes, I'm being a cliche girl here. But Sex & The City has to be my all time favorite tv show. Sure, I have others (Greys, Gilmore Girls, Private Practice, Parenthood) that I watch a lot... but nothing comes close to SATC. I literally own every episode ever created & no mater what is going on in my life, a little Carrie Bradshaw always seems to make it better. & who doesn't love the fashion?

30 Days of Photos- Day 2

A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest:

Hayden's wedding in December 2001.

Hayden & I after my high school graduation in May of 2006.

Hayden & I on Christmas in 2008.

Hayden, her little girl Libby, & I on Christmas 2006.

Obviously, this has to be my cousin Hayden (or as I more often refer to her, my "sister" Hayden). She's 9 & 1/2 years older than me & honestly like the sister I don't have. She's been there for every part of my life & I couldn't imagine not having her to count on. Hayden is such a great mom, wife & doctor, for all of which I really admire her. I'm so blessed to have her in my life.

snapshots of life.

Sometimes I like pictures more than words. So I'm going to start doing little snapshots of life every now & then. No words (other than this little description on the first one), just pictures of my day.
