Does your time matter?
If you had just one day to live would you make the most of it?
At the end of the day can you truly say you did what you love? 
I found this video extremely interesting. You can view it HERE.

Well that’s all for now...I have a plane to catch.

Hello Lovelies | Update

Hello lovelies.
 Guess what!?!...
(A Self Portrait)

Yup, that’s right! I’m leaving yet again to do one of my favorite things...travel.Where you may ask? Well California of course! The Sunny, warm, and overall wonderful Southern California. It’s home of the best fresh seafood and some of the worlds most gorgeous sunsets. Why Cali? Well, now the most exciting part...I’m turning 18! As an early birthday present/Christmas gift I’m heading down there to see the one and only Michael Bublè in concert. Words cannot express how excited I am! Bags will be packed, and I’ll be Cali bound in just a few days.
Do you like to travel? If so, what is YOUR favorite thing about traveling?


*Pst, if you missed my last post concerning a surprise you can view that HERE.*

Day In The City | A Birthday Surprise

I’m usually pretty good at figuring out surprises. However, this day was not the case.
Hannah, my good friend whom you might’ve seen in some of my pictures was the one who pulled the whole thing off. We talked on the phone about having a girls day and heading to the nearest big city. You see, we have to drive fifty minuets just to shop at a mall. Pathetic? Some may say, but I disagree. I love where I live and that’s truly all that matters. Anyways, Hannah and I agreed to ride down to Spokane together, and do things girls naturally do. You know, shop, eat, and pretty much spend money. Right before I got off the phone with Hannah she asked me to take some pictures of her when we go downtown, and I, being the friend that I am, said yes. ;) The day finally came around and there we were headed to our favorite big city.

 Geez, can you say model?



 Oh hey there. Yep, I’m in front of the camera for a change.







 We probably took pictures for an hour, and then all of a sudden Hannah exclaimed that we needed to go pick-up my older sister Lacey at the Mall. I was oblivious, and didn’t suspect a thing! Especially since the fact that my birthday was weeks away.
We showed up at the mall and met up with Lacey, and just as we were walking out I look up to see my boyfriend Josiah, and the two twins, aka Tevyn and Lukyn. 
I was shocked. Completely confused, yet happy that they were here.
All of a sudden I hear surprise!! I knew then what was going on, and I was blown away that Hannah has pulled all this off for me. Can you say worlds greatest friend? I think so.

We all walked out of the mall back to the park to take some pictures of each other. 
Photo compliments of Josiah.

 Meet Josiah, the kindest hearted, talented, and most awesome person ever. :) He calls me his girl & I call him my man...
We actually met at youth group months ago, but I’ll just have to save that story for another time.

Anna | Fall Photo Shoot | Just for Fun

Hello blogger family! Meet my gorgeous friend Anna Rose. Be sure to check out her website and leave her some love @ Anna Rose Photography. Oh yeah! Also “like” her Facebook fan page... Facebook Fan PageNow you may have seen Anna via the one and only FarmGirlInFlipFlop’s page. This girl is absolutely stunning! Not just on the outside, but also the inside. 
Anna is perhaps the most smiley and bubbliest person I have ever met. 
Just being around her for a minute can brighten anyone’s day.
I seriously can’t remember a time when this girl didn’t have a smile on her face.
 Any who, I’ll stop rambling on about how amazing this girl is. 
 Anna and I have both always wanted to do a photo shoot in the fog. 
We both agreed to take pictures of each other, and venture like any photographer would do.
 However, I had some doubt as to wether or not there would be fog. Soon the morning came, and sure enough there was PLENTY of fog. 


 This girl loves her Nikon camera...perhaps more then most Nikon owners.
 Don’t worry, I’m still in the process of converting her to Canon. ;)
Ok, ok..both are great cameras. 
Still, Canon will forever hold a place in my heart.





 This is the raccoon that we stumbled across. Ok, not literally stumbled, but you know what I mean. ;) We ended up naming this furry little guy Thor.
Pretty good “Vogue” face, eh?












Have a favorite?
