Jackson

Hey Emeralds!  I snapped a few quick photos of my fur baby Jackson. I'm slowly starting to get back into the swing of blogging.  Softball has had me super busy but my guy was willing to take a few pics.  I'll be back to posting more after we return from our trip to Tokyo.

Birthday Flowers from Aniyah! I love them.

First of all, thank you Lord for allowing me to see 33!  I love seeing lists float around the internet so since it’s my birthday, I thought I would share my 33 randoms! 

1.       So thankful for Aniyah.  The joy of being her mommy is the world to me.

2.       So happy to be in Korea but have a slight the desire to go back home.

3.       Nervous about applying for a budget analyst position back home but if it’s in His will.

4.       Enjoying crafting again/project life. It feels good to be creative after taking a break.

5.       Glad to travel the world and excited about our upcoming trip to Tokyo, Japan.

6.       Listening to Usher’s “Plans For You” definitely a message behind it.

7.       Definitely including God in more of my daily routine. 

8.       Need to plan our “to do” list in Tokyo.

9.       Loving my new Iphone 6 Plus even though I haven’t used it yet.

10.   I’m having a hard time focusing on studying.  I need to take the CDFM test plus study for the GMAT but I can’t seem to focus when I get off.

11.   I love that I want to read again (still not finished with Make It Happen, but I keep it in my purse). I’ll read while Aniyah is at softball practice today. 

12.   I’m having the worse case of typos with this post #spellcheck.

13.   I want to work out but can’t find the motivation.

14.   I need to eat healthier but I can’t find that motivation either. 

15.   I miss my mom.

16.   I want a sausage biscuit. #random

17.   I love Instagram and slowing growing to like Twitter again. Too much social media.

18.   I want to blog more for myself and for Aniyah.

19.   I still desire to learn more and more about photography. I just have to pick up the darn camera everyday! #lackofmotivation

20.   I’m ready for marriage.

21.   I love watching the First 48.

22.   I lost the desire to cook like I used to. It’s just not fun anymore for some reason

23.   I only drink water at work.

24.   I love lipton hot tea with a ton of creamer in it. I like it “milky”.

25.   I want to visit Australia, Thailand and the Philippines while I’m here in Asia.

26.   I want to completely redecorate my home but since Korea is not forever, I’m just going to save and wait.

27.   I want to relax and cut my hair again but I don’t want to keep up with the maintenance.

28.   I love Zara.

29.   I need glasses but for some reason I don’t want to get an eye exam.

30.   I absolutely hate doing laundry.  I would rather clean the toilet. 

31.   I want the new Mac Book

32.   I always want to create Youtube videos but I don’t even know what to film. Still trying to discover what would make me different among EVERYONE.

33.   I wanted to be a wedding planner.

34.   For good measure I want to thank God for allowing me to see 33 years and praying that he will continue to bless me and mines!

Love Day Seed - Pocket Page

I created this spread of our trip to Busan! Love how easy and simple pocket pages can be.

Love Day Seed Creative Team + 3x4 Mini Album

Hi Emeralds!  I don't think I've officially announced that I'm on the 2015 Creative Team for Love Day Seed!  For my first post on the website, I created this 3x4 mini album using the new Mini Pack Collection and their White Collection Black & White.  I'm so excited to be part of the team and part of this fabulous company.  The simplicity and clean lines are just a dream to work with.

We're Back!

I've been a bit MIA from the blog but we were on vacation in Guam and since we've been back, I've been trying to get photos edited which is a task!  Also have something exciting to share! I'll be back at the end of the week with some other fun things!

"A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2015."

This week you talked on and on about middle school next year and wanting to play in the band.  We are going to sign you up for beginners violin and I'm hoping you will enjoy it.

Foundation for Vacation

Hey Emeralds!  As you know, we are heading to Guam and since I know it's going to be extremely warm, I decided to pack light and only take my Smashbox BB Cream and my LA Girl Pro Concealer.  I wanted to only carry something light on my skin but still offer enough coverage that I can easily wear it for a night out.  My intentions are to not wear any foundation at all as I'm sure I'll have more in skin care products than makeup!  Hope you all had a great weekend!
