Lets Pretend

So for my sake, lets just all pretend that I'm a professional photographer, because from here on out that's what I'm going to keep telling myself. One can dream right? My parents so graciously gave me the one gift I've been asking for several years.... A CANON CAMERA a T3 Rebel to be exact. The amount of stokedness that exuded from my body after I opened it was at a whole new level. Boys & girls this was a dream come true. So stay tuned for this pretend professional photographer to blow your mind share some of my picys of my favorite people with you!

Let me start you off with a little photoshoot with some of the baddest babes in town......

Introducing my beautiful models (from left-right)

Lauren (Hippy Child), Celina (Brazilian Goddess), Adrienne (Free Spirit), Olivia (Lover of all things Chic)

Oh and then there's me....The little Mormon Mob Wife lol

Tunes

Slightly obsessed with this song lately.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Bolt Up

First Chargers game ever!

It was so much fun.... well the tailgating was at least

It was hard watching the Chargers play so well and then lose it at the end.

Mind you this was the first game of the season so you maybe thinking 

what game is she talking about I swear they just won.

Yeah well like I said my posts are alllll from earlier

and I apologize haha

Stop & Smell The Sea Roses

California is a beautiful place to live and I don't feel like I take full advantage of it.

I find myself taking the quickest routes home from work

and focusing on the destination instead of the journey.

A few weeks ago while I was with my best friend catching up on our crazy lives at our favorite 

coffee shop called Panikin I found myself checking my phone more and more as 

5 o'clock approached 

knowing full well I was going to be stuck in nasty rush hour traffic.

I of course made plans for right after we were done talking so I needed a fast route home.

Then just like that we saw an ambulance race by and in unison agreed the freeway was a no go

So I decided to take the coast..... which I NEVER do.

Once I started off I got anxious because I knew I wasn't going to make it to where I needed to be.

Then I saw the beautiful coast line and literally drove 10 miles under the speed limit to 

admire how gorgeous it was.

I couldn't believe my eyes, something that I've driven past so many times in my life had left me in awe.

God is truly an artist that's all I gotta say!! 

I definitely need to stop and smell the sea roses more often :)

Clearly I had to cancel my plans, but it was soooo worth it.

Safari Adventure

All my posts are going to be throwbacks aka from few months ago

Since I've ignored my blog so bear with me :)

So this girl right here is an animal lover.

I find them to be so fascinating and I wish I could just live in a zoo sometimes

So all summer I continually and persistently begged the boy to take me

and then just my luck he had a work party and won two tickets to the wild animal park

I literally screamed when I received the text that we were F.I.N.A.L.L.Y. going. 

Of course I was so excited so we made sure to go as soon as we both had a day off.....

the HOTTEST day of summer.

So here is a little snippet from our day.

Sneaking some love on the Safari Tram

Classic egg picture

Notice how I can actually fit inside the egg

Obsessed with my Indiana Jones hat

This little dude decided to share all of the nectar I gave him by peeing all 

down my leg.

Sorry for the lack of animal pics I was to busy oooing and ahhing at all of them :) 

Blessing In Disguise

Restless soul

caught in an unfamiliar tide

hurt by her past,

struggling with her pride

Stuck in the dark,

but your light prevails

storm was coming,

but you cleared the skies

Tried to resist your enticing desires

then you grasped my hand and took me higher and higher

resting beside you, on your cloud of love

realizing you're truly a gift from above

Captivated by your talent

as you pluck familiar strings

watch as I fall

with every song you sing

All About That Poncho

I have a recent fashion obsession and I figured I would share it.

PONCHOS

I love the idea of taking such a traditional piece and turning it into a trend.

Lately I've been seeing them all over from street styles to boho and I absolutely love it!

There are all different types too from shirt styles for now and thicker ponchos for fall.

Here are a few that I've been absolutely drooling over

Book Worm

Growing up, the people around me would all always find me with my nose in a book.

Once I got a bit older boys, friends, parties and so many other teenage things seemed to distract me from my love of reading. I would occasionally pick up a book and get half way through or quickly finish a trendy book like the hunger games.... but nothing that really stuck with me.

I have probably read close to a thousand books in my lifetime of only 20 years...

yet the other night when my manly friend asked what my favorite book was I felt like I hit a brick wall,

Out of all of the books I've read I couldn't really think of one and that made me feel absolutely horrible.

He inspired me to read again, he helped spark up that intense urge to find a book or shall I say books that have left an impact on my life. 

Thankfully the whole finding a great book was a lot easier then expected....

soon after that conversation with Ryan my good friend Whitnee suggested a couple books to me. One just happened to be the Divergent series, which mind you just two weeks before someone else from church told me to read asap!

Clearly this girl really needed to start the series and let me tell you 

I. Could. Not. Put. It. Down. 

Absolutely amazing, it consumed my life for a bit to the point of me totally believing I was the main character, her accomplishes and tragedies were mine. I couldn't seem to escape it even in my dreams and I was totally okay with it!

75 days till the next and LAST installment to the series.... Just a tad obsessed if you can't tell.

The next book I read was called Hopeless... which Whitnee also recommend.

This book, wow, where do I even begin.

Lets just say I was expecting a nice little poolside read and found myself reading the most enticing love story with by far most devastating, but highly unpredictable twist.

It left me laughing to the point of sore abs to crying and feeling so disgusted that I literally couldn't sleep. It was such a shockingly beautiful story.

Let me emphasize again that it was literally nothing that I ever expected.

Whenever I bring it up to people the best way to describe it in the most simplest of terms

would be that the story literally bitch slapped me hard across the face with there twists and turns it had!

Apparently, there is a second book and you can bet your bottom dollar that I will be picking that up real soon.

The next series I'm going to start is the Matched series.

I've seen them around and once I saw them on a blog.... sadly I follow so many and can't find the bloggers review that had me sold on the series.

But don't you worry I will keep you posted once I'm finished with these books too!

Here is a few books I have read in the past that have truly had an impact on my life.

So all you readers out there try and find a good book for you to read soon because let me tell you it is sooooo much more rewarding then the Shark Week

yuuuuuup I just went there.
