Father’s Day

June 16, 2013

Happy Father’s Day to the two best Dads I know! I am so blessed to have both of you in my life.

To my Superhero: Lord knows I could not have hoped to make it in this world without your wisdom, guidance, and hysterical dry humor and wit. I am so proud to be your little girl. Thank you for working so hard, for sacrificing so much to give me so much, and for teaching me the important things in life…Jesus, basketball, and good food. You are the greatest Dad and the funniest friend, and I’m so thankful for all you do for me. I’m proud to be exactly like you, because we are hilarious geniuses. ;) Thank you for bestowing on me your sense of adventure, love of food, and the famous smirk. Love you so, so much Daddy!

And to my hilarious Dad-in-law: I could not have asked for a better father-in-law, or for a better person to raise my husband! I am so thankful to be a part of your family and share in your humor of love of food. ;) Thank you for taking such good care of us and for being such a good example for Andrew. Thank you for randomly mowing our lawn and buying us dinner and chasing and bonding with our psychotic dog. ;) We are so thankful for all you do and for the time we get to spend with you. Love you so much!

Happy Father’s Day to all you Dads out there! Oh, and to this one too. ;)

You are the best Dad to Jackers, and I know you’ll be the best Dad to our future babies. Let’s not talk anymore about that though because I’ll faint from fear. ;)

Today, I’m feeling extra thankful for two of my favorite people and my favorite fur ball.

I’m married to this ridiculously handsome man. He makes me laugh every day, and I am pretty sure I’m the luckiest. He works super hard, prays with me, and buys me cookie cake. And he took me to see Man of Steel last night, IHOP for breakfast this morning, and took me to the zoo today. WINNER. (P.S. Man of Steel was amazing…still sitting here in awe of Russell Crowe’s acting and Henry Cavill’s jawline.)

And this girl. Allow me to brag for a moment. She is the most fabulous best friend on the planet and is such an encouragement to me. I am so thankful for how God brought us into each other’s lives at the perfect time. We have such a great camaraderie based on Jesus, laughter, pictures, and good food. She is a lovely friend for life, and I look forward to the days when we’re pushing babies in strollers around the zoo and being judged by everyone who sees how many photos we’re taking. ;)

And Lord knows I can’t even imagine what life would be like without this fur ball. He has become the most snuggly little nugget, and I adore him and his 85-pound cuddles. :)

Happy Saturday loves!

Because I am really cool, I bought German shepherd air fresheners.

…to match my German shepherd.

Andrew is my favorite. He bought me a running arm band for our anniversary! Now I feel official when I run. ;)

Super. Cute. Boys.

We crossed off one of the activities on our summer list last week and paid a visit to Pops!

So many options.

We are boring and got diet cherry coke and root beer. :)

Jack is still doing a great job of guarding the house.

He is not, however, enjoying car rides…especially car rides that take him to get a bath.

Lunching with my handsome working man. ;)

Carnations. I love them.

Happy snuggles.

Foot snuggles.

Backyardigans.

This fabulous lady comes with me on almost every wedding I shoot and assists me like a rockstar. And because we work so hard, we feast after with chocolate ice cream with hot fudge and Reese’s toppings. ;) (P.S. I’m three weddings down, five to go for the summer, and that means pretty pictures soon…especially from this past weekend’s festivities!)

I ran three miles outside for the first time ever. I need to hire someone to be waiting at my finish line with a slice of cookie cake next time.

Aaaand this isn’t from my iPhone, but it’s going in this post anyway. Just want to brag on the extreme good looks of my handsome men. ;)

God is so. very. good. Happy Monday my loves!

2 Years Ago Today

May 21, 2013

**Before I go into my anniversary spiel, just want to let you all know that we are safe, but you need to keep praying for Oklahoma, especially the city of Moore! Last night’s post has links where you can donate, or you can text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to help with disaster relief. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! God is good, and our precious little state is getting an opportunity to show others His love and glorify Him.**

Two years ago today, I picked up my best friend, and I’m fairly certain we screamed the whole way to our church.

I met this handsome man under a willow tree…

…and I married him in the church I grew up in.

We had the greatest parents to support us…

…and the cutest friends to stand by us.

And I had one of the best (and fastest) days of my life.

I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already. I couldn’t ask for a better person to spend the rest of my years with, and I’m still so very much in love with you, husband. ;) You are the best friend I’ve ever had, and in light of recent events, I’m even more thankful to be holding you safe and sound in my arms. I can’t wait to see what else God has in store for us. Thank you for loving me past my faults and food obsessions. Thank you for doing dishes and laundry on days when I don’t feel like it. Thank you for supporting my insanity and love for adventure. You are my greatest adventure, Andrew. :)

Happy Anniversary!

Home Sweet Oklahoma

May 20, 2013

Thank you all so much for the emails & messages checking on us. We are safe and sound, but so many people here are not, and they need your prayers. My heart is breaking for my state right now. I wasn’t born here, but Oklahoma has been my home since I was 5 years old, and it is most assuredly the home of the sweetest people on earth. The town that was struck today is the first town I lived in when my family moved here, and the place of my very first childhood memories. Please keep Moore, Oklahoma in your prayers.

When you live here, you can often become calloused to tornadoes. Most of us joke about running outside with a video camera when the sirens go off, but the damage is devastating. It has been gut-wrenching to watch the news. Our hearts are hurting for the people who lost their homes and their loved ones, especially those who have lost their children. “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted, and saves those crushed in spirit.” -Psalm 34:18

Please keep everyone affected in your prayers.

If you would like to help, you can donate here: http://www.okdisasterhelp.com/

Or here: www.FeedTheChildren.org/disaster

Thank you all for joining us in prayer.

“Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. Our God is a God who saves.” -Psalm 68:19-20

Here’s to answered prayers and the abundance of God’s blessings. :)

We’ve been in this fabulous little home for a YEAR now. :) Looks like we’ve got one more year to go here, and I’m anticipating more memories in this home. :)

My maniac of a dog is a rockstar snuggler…even if it took a few months for that prayer to be answered. ;)

blogrun01

I prayed for the desire to be healthy. I’ve been running running running like crazy the past month. :)

AND…drum roll, please… my super attractive husband got a full-time, big boy JOB! He has a badge and everything. Lol. ;) SO proud of him. :)

Our God is so good, and our lives are so full. :)

What prayers have you had answered lately? :)

Happy 30th anniversary to the two most hilarious parents on the face of the earth! I could not ask for a better example, and I can’t imagine growing up under the leadership and dry humor of anyone else. ;) I love you both so very much! Thank you for your love, support, humor, food, and friendship. I feel so blessed to be your daughter, and I’m immensely proud that you have stayed married (and cute) for THIRTY FLIPPIN YEARS. Well done, folks. Hope you are having the time of your lives celebrating in Maine! Eat an extra ice cream sundae at Friendly’s for me. ;)

I don’t care if these embarrass you. Consider it payback for making me wear overalls. ;) Haha. LOVE YOU!

Favorite Images

Can you handle looking through 50 pictures? I intended to make this post my top 10 favorite pictures I’ve ever taken, but yeah. We have 50. The first 10 that are labelled are probably my favorites. I say probably because I was exhausted after compiling all of these and couldn’t bear to go back in my archives any farther. ;)

10. This was one of my favorite shoots ever, and you’ll see some more from it after these ten. :) Sarah & Steven are one of the cutest couples to walk the earth, and their pups joined in and made them even cuter.

9. Two of my besties are in love in a flowery field with an Oklahoma sunset. Perfection.

8. I love sunflowers. I love bling. I don’t what else to say. ;)

7. My sweet friends just had their baby, and I’m sure pictures of him will soon be added to my favorites list…but this one. THIS ONE IS GOLD. I love everything about it. I nearly cry just looking at it.

6. I come back to this image time and time again when I look for business card and website options. This was a 4th of July wedding a couple years ago, and I feel the excitement and pure joy every time I look at it. :)

5. This image has been on my business card “forever.” I love it not only because it’s an engagement picture of two of my sweet friends, but because it symbolizes one of my deepest beliefs…marriage is forever.

4. You knew he had to be here, right? I adore this darling dog. This is my favorite puppy picture of him.

IMG_5043small

3. Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs. Proof that God exists and is awesome. ;)

2. The view from our resort room on our honeymoon in Cancun. Must.go.back.

1. My family. My precious boys are the sweetest, and I am obsessed with this picture we took with my remote. It is the sincerest explanation of our family…blonde couple in love, obsessed with a puppy. Lol.

And all these that follow are in no particular order, but each one digs down deep into my heart and makes me smile, laugh, or cry. ;)

Seeing these all together makes me realize why I love my job, and sometimes…I need reminding of that. ;)

Dear Friday

April 19, 2013

Dear Friday, You blessed little babe, you. This week was so strange and long. Welcome. Let’s get lots accomplished today.

Dear Jesus, This world is crazy and makes my heart heavy. Come back soon, please. Loves you.

Dear Husband, I’m glad you had an interview today, because you look so handsome in a suit! I knew marrying you was the right decision.

Dear Boston & Texas, I pray you’re all staying safe and sane! I’m sending you a virtual cookie cake of love. :)

Dear Oklahoma, You need to make it warm all the time now, mmk? It’s almost May. No more random freezing days, alright!?

Dear Jackers, I am so proud of you. The snuggling skills are top-notch these days, and you have come so far! You are the best little ball of fluff ever. As if I didn’t love you enough already.

Dear Mom-in-law, Feel better soon! We have yummy food to eat! ;)

Dear Lovely Readers, You guys are so sweet. Thanks for making me feel special and mildly humorous. I love getting emails from you and finding out that there truly are other people in the world obsessed with dogs, pictures, and food. ;)

Dear Pancakes, I’ll see you tomorrow. :)

Happy Friday loves!

5 Things Few People Know

1. I adore mornings. I love getting up and working out and feeling like I’m being healthy…you know, until I eat my chocolate chip pancake. But that is a delightful staple of my morning as well, along with a small glass of milk and a morning snuggle with Jackers. Mornings feel so fresh and new and lovely.

2. I dream of living in Colorado on a horse ranch. While it might not be likely, there are few days I don’t daydream about moving to Colorado and buying a horse ranch that has a view of the mountains. I dream of a bay horse named Indiana and a buckskin named Diego. I won’t even tell you how many dogs and dog names I have in my dream land. I dream of sitting in front of a stone fireplace with Andrew and a pile of snuggly dogs, looking out at the mountains. And taking lots of pictures.

3. If I could go anywhere in the world right now, I would go to Australia…more specifically, I would go to Brisbane, hold a koala at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, go to the Australia Zoo, and finish the day at a beach with a pizza. Nope, never been. Just done my research. (Any Australian readers out there? Want to give me a place to stay!?)

4. My favorite font is Allura.

5. I never tire of Jack Johnson. He sounds good on sunny days, rainy days, plain days, crazy days, every day. Always.

4 Places to Visit

1. Australia. Obviously.

2. Hawaii.

3. Greece.

4. New Zealand.

(Now accepting donations for the Boswell travel fund.)

3 Favorite Words

1. Love.

2. Happy.

3. Muffin. (I like the sound of it, okay? I actually don’t even like muffins.)

2 Essentials

1. Jesus.

2. Family.

1 Thing that Brings Peace

1. Pancakes. ;) (And if I could choose another thing, I’d say puppies.)
