Embrace the Camera

I was looking over to see what the most popular post of all time on this little blog.

 It happened to be our engagement pictures at Antelope Island.

Then yesterday, I was cleaning out some of our boxes and working my way through them.

I found these that you may have never seen before.
{with some added borders ;) }
It's great for me to look at these photos.

We've come so far and made it through so much.
Thank you for still reading even while we went through a separation. 

I'm so glad that we worked through it all and have found that same love again.

Embrace the Camera

Sometimes, I still have dark and gloomy days where the world just doesn't feel right.

The pictures below were taken on what started out as one of those days.
But thanks to my friend Erin and some giant ballons it was turned around.

We searched for sunshine and definitely found it, along with my smile.
Now every time I'm inching toward a dark day, I look at these and smile.

Hope they brighten your day too!

Embrace the Camera

This year I wanted to make real goals and ones that I would remember.
After such a difficult year, I want to have goals of hope that will not
only benefit me, but help those around me as well.

The hardest thing I've had to learn,
is that I have to take care of me first and then help everyone else.
First and foremost, I need to be a better wife. We had a bump, a
hiccup and I'm committed to making our marriage strong. With
that being said, the goal is to make sure we have lots of quality time
without spending lots of money.

This is the year we need to start eating healthier.
More lean meats, more vegetables, less processed food.

Exercise. I hope that we can run a half marathon together.
Since we live in Arizona, we need to walk outside more.
Especially, while it's not too hot.

Savings. I have never kept a solid savings account.
Ugh, typing that makes me cringe. In the world of
economic unrest, we need a savings, emergency plan.

Both of us agree, that it's time to start a family.
It's a hope of ours that infertility will not be our friend.

Most importantly, I want to just "be there."
Meaning, be there for family and friends.
Be there for those important moments, have quality time and conversations.

It's also time to let go of being shy and say hello.
Again, just being there even if there's not a special invitation.

Then not to forget, never stop loving.

Here's to a wonderful 2012!

Embrace the Camera-I am Equal


I believe that no matter what race, color, sexuality, religion all should be loved and accepted.

Love those for who they are and the unique talents that they have.
Everyone has a purpose and a place in this world.

Life is too short to not love those around us.
If only we looked with love first and not judged,
we would see more beautiful hearts and wonderful people.

A stranger is a friend in disguise.
We need to just say hello and that's where it starts.

Embrace the Camera

My sister-in-law attempted to take a picture of Aiden and I.
I love Halloween.
However, I'm really not into fancy expensive costumes
and things too scary.

Even though I'm grownup I still felt that
I needed to dress up with the kids to help
make it fun.

This year was nice, because I let KMart
do all the work for me.

Nice, not too scary and fit my little budget.

I may have to use this costume next year too.

Do you dress up with the children in your life?

I'd love to see. Be sure to post a link in the comments.

Embrace the Camera

An old one of Katelyn and I at our favorite frozen custard place, Nielsen's.

It was funny, Katelyn saw me posting this picture and said,
"Can we go back?"

That's my girl. Love my niece, can't believe how much she's grown up.

I think we'll have to go soon,
we haven't been back since this picture was taken.

Embrace the Camera-Harry Potter



Okay, I know this happened awhile ago.
But I was flipping through some pics and smiled when I found these.

Call me a nerd, I am such a big Harry Potter fan.




Midnight showing in 3D with Jen
Then, when I went to go see it again. . .

Sami and Oriahna, having some fun!

Loved that movie. It kinda marks the end of childhood for me.
The books started when I was in junior high and now the movies end my last year of college.
Good times.

Embrace the Camera-Zombies


Okay, we all know that it's not nice to graffiti but this one was just hilarious.
So much so that my sweet friend Devon said, "We need to take pictures by this!" 

It says, "University of Utah Research Park, technology creating industry, creating jobs,  creating zombies"
Katie and Devon acting normal but beware. . . 

AHHHHHH!!!!!
It was quite fun.

Embrace the Camera Day-Katelyn's birthday



I can't believe that our Sunshine Girl turned six!

She's so grown up.

Last night for her birthday,
the family gathered to watch her soccer game.
She was thrilled.
With Nana

With Uncle J
Then we went to dinner
where she was able to open up
her princess dresses from
Kevin and me.

They're from the Little Dress Up Shop.
Believe me, she loves it and they'll last her until she grows out of them!
It was sweet.


Kevin and Katelyn when she was four.
Happy Birthday Sweet Katelyn!

Embrace the Camera Day-Wedding Memories


Today I some have magic up my sleeve.
We're going to be celebrating as if it were our anniversary
{it's really not for another month}.

I just realized the actual day of our two year anniversary,
I'll be in California and Kevin will be busy working in Arizona.

Why not celebrate, when you have the time?
My point exactly.


And they still LOVE each other.

By the way, the cake was delicious and the best I've ever had.

Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth FIGHTING for, being BRAVE for, RISKING everything for.

Embrace the Camera Day-Pago


One of our favorite things to do is go out to eat.
The main factor is that in our {almost} two years of marriage,
we have not had a kitchen table.


Yes, you read that right, no table.


When we eat in our teeny apartment it is on our little couch which only fits the two of us.
The food goes on the coffee table (if there's room).
Sometimes there isn't room because our table looks like this.


I'll admit it's pretty bad in the picture. But we're just busy college students making it by.
So if we have a choice to eat at a parent's house or a restaurant, it's pretty obvious that we leave.

One of those random nights that I didn't want to cook in the teeny kitchen, we decided to try Pago.
Friends, it was heaven.


The location is easy to access, on 9th and 9th right next to the Children's hour.


Unique food, wonderful ambiance, excellent service, I felt like I was in New York.
The restaurant only serves food from local farms which puts my mind at ease.

Hooray for a fun night out with wonderful food!

In our marriage, we live for date nights and love them.
I highly recommend this place for a casual date out on the town.

Embrace the Camera Day-Serendipity

I love the movie Serendipity.
It's filled with love and excitement.
{source}
The cute little cafe that's in the movie happened to be inspired by Serendipity 3, the restaurant.


When we stopped in Vegas over spring break, I couldn't help but 
want to stop by and get a frozen hot chocolate along with lunch.


Can you blame me?
Oh yes, it was that good.

The perfect treat on a warm day.
Want some? You can find it here.

You still have a great chance at the giveaway here, it's really just in time for spring!
