Beach countdown......

AHHHHHH!

I will honestly admit i've never been much of a beach bum...

But i blame it on my fair skin, and the fact all of my childhood memeories of the beach include hauling lots of chairs, a cooler, towels, toys... etc for a family of 6.. and getting pushed under the wave and feeling lost on a crowded commercialized beach.

Now, if i wouldve seen blue crush growing up maybe i would have turned into a legit beach babe... but i missed out on the goodness.

I am more of a book under an umbrella kind of girl when it comes to the beach.. and i have fallen more in love with it.. now that its just me/luke or just me.. and i can travel light.

I am headed to the beach on mothers day.. to spend a few days with my family.. (or part of it) and then leaving that beach to meet up with some of my lady friends at another beach.. and spend time with them!

I am really excited.

I never took beach trips in high school or anything so i feel like such a grown up going to the beach alone!

Once i get back from the beach.. i will have only one week left til my man gets back from tour.. and the best summer of my life will start! yayyy

In other news.. My computer crashed.. or something.

It wont turn on and i am super sad. Hopefully i can get everything off of it.. (praying)

Ive backed up a lot of stuff... but not recently.. so there are a lot of treasures.. on there that i would be so sad to lose.

Luckily we just bought a new computer before Luke left.. so i can have his old one.. But i do want my things off my old book.

So- all that to say i had some photos to upload.. but they are all in hiding right now.. in computer heaven. :(

Hope you all have a fantastic cinco de mayo.. (i love holiday's revolving around chips and salsa and margarita's!!)

And a fantastic weekend...

I'll be back with lots of sea-pictures!

love,

Daughter of the sea.

Can't get enough... Water for Elephants

Water for Elephants.

Holy Moly.

This movie was so amazing.  I haven't read the book, but always wanted to. ( dont hate me for being "that girl")  But this movie was amazing in so many ways!

Visually, it was Eye candy, from the colors, the animals, the time period and the wardrobe... oh and Rob & Reese of course.

I could kill for Marlena's wardrobe in this.  You should definitely see it for that alone.  But the story, and acting are also impeccable.

There aren't many movies that i am already dying to see again even before its through. But this one definitely is one that i'll be bringing home.

loved it.

Have a great weekend!

love

Let's be friends!

So I'm sure you've all heard of the most fabulous app called Instagram!  It really is just so great.  If you haven't heard, or seen, you won't hesitate much longer once you see all the different filters you can put on your mundane iphone photos.  It's almost like twitter, but for pictures, and just a really great way to edit photos and export them other places!

And while you're at it, lets be friends on twitter too! I added a widget on the side that has my most recent tweets, and you can follow me just by clicking. But leave me your twitter/instagram usernames in a comment so i can follow you too!

Happy Thursday!

Baby Bump!

Nope, not mine... But my friend Courtney Clark's.

She is a little past her due date, for her precious baby boy.. and we thought, 'maybe he's just waiting for his before pictures..'

So yesterday, in the hot blazing sun, we shot a few, in hopes that one day she could tell that boy.. "you were born the day after these pictures were taken"

So anyways, she is such a beauty and a burst of joy and sunshine. I wanted to share these pretty pictures of her, and have you all say a little prayer that her little boy will get into the right position and make his way into our world very soon!

such, a beauty.

Getting inspired for things in the blog department.

Going to be rolling out some new things, features and exciting plans in the next few months!

Can't wait to share!

Have a happy Wednesday!

the week is almost over.

Easter weekend.

Happy Easter!

Hope you all had a great weekend. I sure did!

I got to go meet by babe for the weekend! I left super early saturday am (3:30am early!) and came back last night, but it sure was worth it. Luke, Carlos, Jeremy and Larry were playing at a church outside of DC for an Easter service, and i just came to tag along, and to spend a tiny bit of time with my man, He's almost half-way through with this tour, about 4 more weeks to go! It can't come soon enough!

Easter Lillies- and hanging with my peeps :)

lots of couple shots:) so i had something to look at when i got home.

Now, that birthday(month) is almost over, I am counting down the days til my beach week!! which isn't too far away!

So thankful I've been getting to do so many little trips lately, its what keeps me going, and keeps me sane.

Cant wait for some adventures to the beach and stuff when Luke comes home!

It's gonna be an amazing summer. i can feel it.

the winds are about to change.

have a great week friends!

love
