On my mind.
1: Kinfolk Dinner // You can still get your Kinfolk Dinner tickets at Kinfolkmag.com
2: This Weekend // My Best Friend since 3rd grade gets in town tonight.
3: Christmas in Utah // We are coming to Utah for Christmas break! If you want to book a session, just send me a message. I will have the exact days I am available up shortly. Roughly the 22-Jan 3 with the exceptions of Holidays.
4: Offset printing // Learning a lot, and loving it. Getting ready for Birch House has been pretty exciting. If you know any good tips for offset printing- tell me.
5: Walls by Mur // Some of mine and Blake's friends started Walls by Mur, and Kristi (one of Blake's very best friends) designed them. Its funny because Blake mentioned that I should do triangles on the wall like Kristi does. Then they launched Walls by Mur and I am hooked! I cant wait to get mine. Because I dont have to go through the hassle of trying to paint perfect lines, they are removable adhesive. Genius.
6: My Husband // He is so busy with school. Law school can be pretty rough. The other day someone asked me if I was one of "Northwestern's Law Widows". I probably am. But with an amazing husband like Blake, I get time with him. He is so good about having dinner every night with me. And we try to go to bed together every night (This often means me waiting up pretty late for him or going to bed really early so he can get up ridiculously early). But its totally working for us. I am so grateful for him.
7: Annie // Sometimes I am surprised how pretty Annie is. We get compliments on what a pretty dog she is all the time. Why am I surprised? Because Blake and I would have taken home the mangiest mutt at the shelter and some how, we took home this very, very, pretty pup.
My bodies a zombie for you.
Yesterday was probably the last day of warm we will have until next summer. I am so glad me and my sweet husband and Annie Jo got to spend some time together outside. I am starting to feel stressed as this next month is crazy busy. Why do we get stressed about good things? They are all wonderful amazing things.
We have family or friends visiting us every weekend in November. I have a ton of shoots lined up, including a super exciting one I get to do with Kinfolk Magazine. I got a bunch of film in the mail a few days ago, and I got my teaching certificate in the mail that makes me eligible to substitute teach in Chicago. I really am so excited about that. Blake has lots of work this time of the semester, so its good I have things to keep me busy, but I miss him already. Thank goodness I have this pup to soften the blow.
*in the spirit of halloween... listen to Ryan Goslings band Dead Mans Bones- here is a fav.
Cabs with puppy
Public transit with this little pup is a new experience, as of public transit wasn't enough of one. 80% of cab drivers driving techniques (if you can call them that) make me sick. Literally. It's the stop and speed up to slam on brakes kind of driving. Then the turning ten times to skip waiting for lights. I really have been getting car sick. Not sure how Annie survives. But she does.
She also refuses to go number two anywhere but in the middle of the street. Not in the gutter, not in the shoulder but directly in the middle of the road. Then I get to dodge traffic to try to be a good citizen and clean it up.
Disclaimer: that is not a joke, but my life.
The best day of my life...
Was also the most important day of my life. Thats pretty great, and I know its said a lot. And I really hope everyone who says their wedding day was the best day of their life means it like I mean it. Because I like to think everyone deserves a love that is worth celebrating, and committing to forever it.
I cant wait to post more wedding photos, and I almost posted a ton more, but this one stands alone to me. It looks exactly how it felt.
Thank you Kate Osborne for all your beautiful photos.
Also I got to be in a shoot that Kate shot for Sarah's amazing flowers. They got featured on a wedding blog see here on Kate's blog! Kind of fun!
Here is one of my favorites from that shoot.
