life through photos

since i'm terrible at starting a post and never finishing it, here is a series of photos showing what Sean and i have been doing.  here goes:

Sean & I's engagement sunrise photo shoot at railroad park

photos were taken by the lovely Sherei Jackson.  She did a wonderful job.

we visited the Sharpe family in Tyler, TX & had some good tex-mex. too bad it wasn't taco bueno.

we visited Sean's friend Bethany in Houston, TX.

 and we got to experience Sprinkles Cupcakes for the first time. so delicious.

we had a wonderful time visiting with her & visiting her church (Houston Worship Centre).  it was a refresher for me to be able to just soak up the Lord's presence and be poured into.  i haven't had that in a while.  so much healing comes when you sit in His presence.  it's a wonderful feeling.

Next stop: CHICAGO!

 i'm freaking out on the inside...

 we found our new tradition: to find a sprinkles cupcakes in every major city we go to & get a cupcake.

 our main reason to go chicago... my best friend got married!  so happy for the newlyweds :D

we have gone all over the place these last couple of months visiting friends.  we definitely loved it!  but i am glad to be in one place again for a while. 

hope you enjoyed the photos!  have a blessed day!

weddings, weddings, weddings

How i love weddings!

within two weeks, two of my close friends got married. they were both gorgeous weddings too. both weddings were inspired with antiques and the vintage style. (will post more pics if requested)

first one: Bethany & Shaun (April 30,2011)
Bethany and i have known each other since she was three and i was five. we met at church and have been close since (for the most part). Shaun and i have known each other since i was two and him 3 (i guess). His mom babysat me and my sister. we went to a different church together. they met in high school and it was really weird to see two different worlds come together but i'm so glad they met and finally got married!

second one: Heather & Ryan (May 14,2011)
Heather and i went to Alabama together and met in the Social Work Department. a fun friendship we have. She is a great friend and we planned all of our classes together and had weekly dinners with some other friends. I was honored to be in her wedding and i adored her antique decor.

I truly enjoy weddings. it is always wonderful to see how the Lord unites people that are compatible for each other. i can't wait to see who i will marry. it will be so exciting!
i am so thankful to have Jesus as my Husband. I am His bride and i seriously can't wait to see who He has, for me, as my earthly husband.
