worry

last night at small group we talked all about worry. and now i find myself up at 5:00 a.m. because i can not sleep, i'm full of worry. i'm sick as can be from the pregnancy and i know this only makes things worse. david gets home in a few hours--its almost impossible to make it through a full night without being scared while he is gone at work. i laid in bed, prayed, and recited scripture but tonight i feel somewhat defeated.

love love love

these pictures are from last week at the country club in Marion. Congrats guys and good luck wedding planning!

Abbi and I had a blast doing her photo's! She was up for pretty much every thing! We drove around until dark because we couldn't get enough. Abbi has the sweetest spririt ever and made me laugh pretty much the entire time! Abbi is reppin for Eastbrook High School. These are some of my favorite pictures from the shoot...

rehearsal dinner invitations

Fabulous Erin

Today I had the opportunity to shoot one of my best friends. We had so much fun together!! Erin has such a fun spirit and it really showed in her pictures! Here are some of my favorites from the shoot:)

exciting times

today was a busy day!
we had a good meeting with pastor j today!
julie, david, and I finally picked out the paint for the m.i.c.o house! m.i.c.o. is a house in the inner city marion that we are using for outreach. it was really fun. saturday we are meeting at 10:00 to pray over the house before we get started. i am really excited about what God is doing and how he is going to use us. please pray for us and the neighborhood. today while we were at the house my heart was just pumping pumping pumping with excitement. as soon as we pulled up to the house i looked around and new that i was right where I was supposed to be.

all this talk about jobs

yuck

david and i have been talking about the subject a lot lately

pretty much i have come to this conclusion...

what you do, or where you work does NOT define you as a person

we are employed by God to do His work, not to please men here on earth

it sickens me that we judge each other by job status, give me a frickin break

i don't know what the future holds for my career. i just know i love what i am doing now. being around children, families, and all that love. there is nothing better. i want to be different from every one else. i am blessed to have come this far, and i owe every thing to God. i was beginning to think i could never be good at anything-- just then He lifted me up. i am finding myself more and more through this journey.

my heart is overwhelmed with joy. almost one month until the wedding. david and i are continually growing closer to each other and to God. these past few months have been amazing. in counseling last week pastor judy asked me why i wanted to marry david... well the answer is very simple. we can accomplish great things together, more than we could ever do by ourselves. when i am weak he is strong, and when he is weak i am strong. we inspire each other to be better. both of us have a burning passion for ministry and it's amazing to see how God has already started using us. we are hungry.

lately i have been thinking about my calling. what is it? how will i know? I honestly believe that my calling is in the things that grieve me the most and where my passion lies. i am very aware that my calling at times can cause me to suffer, but the major role of that is to help build character. God is not just interested in me, he loves all of us so much that he will NOT let us be comfortable, we can not learn or grow without crisis. God already began the good work in me, he will never leave my side.

maddness!

lately life has been a little bit crazy.
trying to finalize wedding plans.
getting the new website ready for launch.
room cleaning (for those of you who know about my messy disaster of a room) yikes.
sessions/ editing
i just need a second to
b r e a t h e
much better.

Just a litte Tot

Yesterday I took pictures for sweet TOT! Shoots are always fun when your subject is excited about it too! We were able to get really creative so I think we got some really fun shots! David and I also got a new Kitty yesterday! Her name is Miley! :) She and Carson are already pals. They both slept with David last night! Things are going really well! Business is booming and I feel so blessed that God has given me this talent. I owe all my success to Him! To all my wonderful friends you have been so encouraging and I can never thank you enough. I have been able to find something I love to do!

Rehearsal Dinner Dress

Most of you who read this already know I am getting married October 4, 2008! The day before my birthday! The wedding plans are going great but I am really excited about the rehearsal dinner. I feel like it is the perfect time to let loose and really use my creative ideas. We are pretty much inviting all of our families and friends. It's going to be a time to just relax and have fun. So far what we have planned is a old fashion BBQ with a glamorous twist of coarse! This definitely means: sun dresses, cowboy boots/hats, country music, dancing under the stars, ribs, corn on the cob, ice cold punch, and pie! What is not to love? The most exciting part is picking out my dress!!! I picked out the one below, I've had my eye on it for a long time! I love it especially with the boots! The picture in the middle is how I want to decorate, but a little more toned down! Let me know some thoughts!

Sweet Summer

It's was a hot one today! To beat the heat David and I went and registered at Target (with some helpful persuading by Chelsee). It ended up being a ton of fun, and we registered for some really awesome things probably twice! We also went spy style on Chelsee and found her in non other than *COSCO* you know what I mean! Once again Chels and Ryan ended up cooking an amazing dinner and beating us in cards! :) lol ! What a fun night!

my business cards came today! this is the back view

pumped up to register

can you feel the intensity?

Why must you mock me so!? :)

David

what I have found in you:
someone who would rather sit on a porch swing than a bar stool. someone who has an appreciation for life. someone who loves other people more than their self. someone who is driven, by whatever that may be. someone who will tell me to sit down and shut up. someone who understands me. someone who loves Jesus and wont hold anything back. someone who will go on adventures with me, cook dinner with me, and play with me. someone who stands up for what he believes in. someone who has good taste in music, and compassion in his soul. and muscles. and someone who will let me have polar pops when i need them. someone brave. I love you.

Rylee Taylor

Yesterday I took pictures of little Rylee Taylor! I don't usually post business pictures in this blog but she is so cute! :) :) Her mommy Abby is a friend of mine!
