Hi! I made some delicious cookie sandwiches yesterday!
They were SO easy and SO absolutely perfect. The frosting turned into
kind of a sloppy melting mess, but it was too perfectly gooey to try and fix. I don’t mind eating a cookie sandwich with a fork anyways! It was pretty much heaven. Once I dig up the recipes I will post them here. If you are wanting primo best chocolate chip cookie recipe, stay tuned!

I had the pleasure of attending Erin & Dustin Arnold’s wedding this past weekend. I was supposed to be there shooting but I decided to surprise them with a little video too!

It was at the Arts Center, in Broadripple. (Indianapolis)
Super gorgeous venue. Huge pillars.
Erin came into Anthropologie (my old work place) a year or so ago and we hadn’t seen each other since we were tiny children. She found my photography and the rest is history! The other two shorties in the bridal party, Anna & Ashley, are her sisters. Anna was in my grade and now works as a pastry chef! She made the cupcakes and you better believe I got a shot of their deliciousness.

Their Dad passed away less than a year ago from cancer. Incredibly difficult times. His two best friends walked Erin down the aisle instead, which was way beyond precious.

They walked down the aisle to Beatles songs, but I decided to use this song from Explosions In the Sky. I picked it as my potential wedding song so long ago and pretty much cried while making this. Yepppp. No Lie. Sick sappy.

hi journal!
busy busy busy busy.
shooting a wedding this weekend at an artsy garden with a smokin hot couple. ive got some sweet lenses and everything.
totally ditched that point n shoot for good.
coming back and shooting my cousins ‘senior pictures’…
really bothers me that she’s a senior so im forcing her to wear ridiculously cutesy kid dresses and prance around throwing sprinkles in the air. no mature girl shots for me! she is forever 8 years old in my mind.

my grandma is upset that i am heading out west.
she says ‘why would you want to go be with those loons?’
and by loons she means liberals. my family thinks that only obama lovin
liberals live in the northwest. awwww. tsk tsk tsk. i told her that only
grandma lovin fish live there.

I want to find this magical place.

So lately I have been trying my darn hardest to stop
eating icecream every chance I get. I pass by icecream shops
and the mint chocolate chip hollers at me. It is a sick little thing.
Thank the lord I haven’t heard an icecream truck around here.
Why do those icecream truck guys have to look so gnarly?
Why can’t we have cute grandpas driving those things and tell us
cute stories about the old days. Instead we get a hairy sweaty swindler
who looks like he may very well hate his life and/or smell like rotten meat. Maybe he smells like vanilla, I don’t know. He never smiles though. Maybe he’s just mad that he isn’t selling chocotacossss.

The other day I was watching ‘Bringing up Baby’, an old katharine hepburn + cary grant flick and it was so wonderful and delightful and all other good words. Watch it!

Other recommendations include:
- kashi dark chocolate coconut bars (delicious treat)
- joythigpen.com (event design)
- the book of romans
- standing up for something. i’m pretty sure we need to fire everyone on capitol hill and start over. obama is not my friend. government is total bs. both of them are doing the shadiest crap ever. educate yourself friends. read about what america was founded on. mmmmmk?

Bye!

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] More Than Anything - Hillsong United

Yep. I’m sure I just lost whatever ounce of rad I may have had in your eyes by posting this song, but to be honest witchu I don’t even care. Yeah, thassright. Hillsong is supremely wonderful and this song makes me want to rave for jesus. bahahah. For real though. It really does uplift your spirit. Perhaps if you are having a sad day you could hit that little play button? So much truth in one song.

Barnes & Noble funtime today.
Took some crappy phone pictures of things that made my heart leap a little. Can’t wait to have a house someday! Ohhhh goodness!

I really love the old wooden table and rusticness contrasting with the various florals. Perfect mixture of husband and wife. Har.
Also looks like the best spot for serving the largest and in chargest breakfast ever. Gah. Eggs sound amazing! I am so hungry right now. Going out for some deelish breakfast a few hours. I am a breakfast nut! Also apparently a non sleeping nut!

Note: pretty sure this was from the magazine ‘romantic homes’…of which I obviously need a subscription.
