Tara & Rodney got married yesterday and I can finally show off her Bridals.

Tara, you made a gorgeous Bride and I had such a great time with you around the Long Center! Your smile is infectious!

I think my Brides & Grooms are pretty great! I may be biased, so what, they are the best!

I’ve been wanting to make my packaging my OWN and it turned out perfectly. I wanted to give my Bride & Groom something that LOOKS great with their finished product.

Who doesn’t love opening pretty presents?

These gorgeous boxes came from DNL Photo Packaging

Their DVD/CD with a Millers Accordion Card

They even have an option to order CD “hubs” and I loved that!

I had a BLAST with all my sessions from today. A Bride, a Baby, and some Best Friends. CAN’T wait to post those…

BUT until then… I’m going to do my weekly iPhone Dump.

This past week (really since before my birthday in July) I’ve been fighting this sickness. It’s evolved from a sinus infection to an awful cough and I am DONE with it… I want it to go away… for. good. Well, the other day I was feeling pretty awful. I came home to this…

 I love that my husband makes me laugh when I don’t feel good.

If you don’t know what his drawing is… check out our text convos.

The above was the “introduction” of the whale. I saw it on a website and thought it was the funniest thing.

Just google iphone whale and you’ll fine all kinds of whales :)

 Yes, we’re weird, maybe even funny… but I love that it’s “us”

I had so much fun with this precious girl earlier today. I worked with her mom when I was at KVUE. Noelle it was good to see you! Your girl is too cute!

My husband and I picked out some couches while he was still in college. These would be “our” couches once May 23, 2009 came around. And, rightly so, I went with him to pick them out. We can’t leave these decisions solely to the men ladies!!

The ONE thing I did NOT like about the ones we chose, were the pillows… Ladies, you know what I’m talking about. I didn’t love the pattern, I mean, they weren’t THAT bad… just not my taste. like. at all. So, ever since then, I’ve always wanted new ones.

Derik said “but they MATCH the couch.” ummm… babe, not everything has to “MATCH“… it can also “GO“. There is a difference. Well, It turned into – we’ll get them when we get married… to – we’ll get them when we get a house. Mmhmm – it’s been TWO years!

So, I told Derik, I’m getting pillows… and he said ok. Wow.

After I got home, I looked at them on the couches… and I was excited. NEW pillows. You know what he said next, oh so sarcastically lovingly

“I’m soooo glad we got new pillows…”

Yeah, me too babe. Me too.
