Sunny Adventures.

Today's high was around 85 degrees and there were times I thought "phew I'm hot" then.. I started thinking, "How in the world am I going to make it in 115 degree weather when I move to AZ???" Yes. You heard me. I am moving to Arizona. Everything is happening so quickly and I couldn't be any happier. The last weekend of July, I will be in a car and on my way. I can't wait to explore once i'm there and see what the AZ has to offer.

Before I go, I plan on spending as much quality time as possible with friends and family. The last few days have been a blast consisting of Arts Festivals, pool time, sunburns, bbqing, baseball games, water parks and eating dinner on patio's. I have needed all of these things greatly. Summer, thank you for finally getting here.

Summer Weddings.

If you are going to have a summer wedding, you better do it right. I'm talkin outdoors with great scenery, wild flowers everywhere, candles and dim lights along the rooftops, an open bar, cupcakes and dancing. My great friend Katie Plank and her new husband Nick Ramsrud did JUST that. What an amazing summer wedding and I can't get over how amazing these two are together. They are lifers! I also had the pleasure of doing Katie's makeup for the wedding. I am hoping the photographer got some good shots and I can't wait to share them with you.
