Wedding Wear

I attended the BF's little sister's wedding a few weeks ago- where I doubled as a guest, sudo family member, and photographer. I was supposed to wear black or red, this was my take as I wanted to blend without standing out much since I kind of think that's the photog's role. Can I just say it was FUN! I'm going to buy a nice SLR camera like the one I borrowed, they are worth the splurge! One day these pictures on this blog will be awesome...just wait another year or so!

Sincere Apology

I haven't been active in the blogging community in the past few months, and I really apologize and thank all readers who still check my blog from time to time! I can't tell you how crazy it is going to school full-time and working full-time as a teacher! In addition I have a special friend who happens to be an extremely attractive boy I have spent all my free time with. I am on summer break for a few weeks and I feel like the only time I dress up right now is for church on Sunday. I have a TON of pictures I never had time to post from winter, so if a few boots and sweaters pop up in the upcoming posts you'll know why! Thanks for your patience, sometimes life gets in the way of hobbies doesn't it?

Coral+Turquiose=TLA

Yes, I just typed that as the title. Yes I do think Turquoise and Coral together equal true love always. Yes, I'm considering decorating a room in my future house using this color scheme. Yes, I'm still a year from graduation, but did I mention I did finish my first year of my master's successfully? Yes, I do think graduation and home ownership may be realistic dreams and thus color combination for decorating are necessary thoughts ;)
