Shabby Apple Christmas Line

Here are the final photos of me that made the cut from the Shabby Apple shoot. :)

Lights. Camera...and a little action.

Here is your sneak peak backstage at the Shabby Apple shoot... :)


Shabby Apple clothing line shoot.



Quick...pose...!

These are the unedited backstage pictures from one of my photoshoots last month. I will post a couple of the edited ones once I get the OK.
Isn't my supermodel boyfriend hott? haha.

SO much snow. :)

One of my best friends shared a quote with me today that I want to share with my readers.

“Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?”

I ask myself that question just about every day. One final down and three more to go! :)
Call me a dork but I love school. PS. I decided to shoot for my Masters Degree.

The happier kind of happy.

Today I locked myself in my room for about 6 hours in order to finish 5 essays for my Philosophy class. In between essays I was able to get my laundry done, spend time with my girl friends, actually eat a bit, and later found time to make hot cocoa and cuddle up with the sweetest boy I know next to our lit up Christmas tree (mmm!), before getting back to the books.

K- Note to self; Never have the person you are dating, (...especially if they are very smart, graduated from BYU Marriott School, good with grammar and writing (and really really good looking)), edit your papers unless you are a GREAT writer. If I was brave enough to post my essay on here with all of the edits he made with the "review feature" in Word, I think you would see what I mean and laugh as hard as I did when I saw my "suggestions."
Really this was EXTREMELY helpful and I am grateful to be dating someone who is willing to take the time to do things like that for me. :) (eh?)

I have about 10 math problems left before I am DONE for the semester. That wasn't so bad at all! For those of you have known me for awhile you know that I have a pretty serious math phobia. (Yet I am studying bio-mech. engineering??) Why am I doing this to myself again...?

Regardless, I feel like I have discovered peace within myself the past few months. I have received closure on the things I needed closure in, I have grown very close to the church and solid in the things that I know, I am learning to really stand up for myself, and I am doing well in school. I may actually pull of a 4.0 again this semester. (Depending on if my professor likes those edits made to my paper!:)
Going to school full time and working full time this semester was overwhelming, but totally do-able. I am excited to do this all over again next semester!

Only 3 more school days left this semester!!
Counting down the days until Christmas.

CONGRATS to my friends Whitney and Jason, Amy and Dusty, Ali and Jared, and Jami and John this week. It is baby week! Welcoming Maylin, Colton, Rachel, and Jacob into this world!!!

...I wanna hippopotamus for Christmas...

My roommate runs a dance studio and teaches 22 kids several different types of dance forms.

Break dancing

This one above was the best act. My hot date was laughing sooo hard that I couldn't hold the camera strait!! ...really!

We went to the mall today and picked up some sweet hats. :D K really...NOW we are ready for Christmas...

Ready for Christmas!

She thinks we are absolute dorks. (mmhmm!)

We didn't really know what to do with our hands...

Acting sassy for lover boy photographer.

I LOVE this season. :) We had some roommate bonding time today after church. Our home is full of so much love and true friendship.
Happy Holidays to you and yours. I am enjoying being me and spending time with mine. ;)

Holiday Shopping

After a 6 hour photoshoot for ShabbyApple clothing line, 2 showers to scrub off makeup and paint, very little food, and the knowledge that my plan of a "Saturday study day" failed...we went a little 'Christmas shopping crazy' at Target.
