Dream Chasing.

It was an offhand comment from our landlord....

We had just gotten the keys for our new place, signed all the papers, handed over the rent cheques. I already had a liking for this new landlord of ours because he bent the rules a little to let us rent in the first place. We got to chatting - our winter in Phoenix came up. "I don't mean to pry - but why do you go down there?" He asked. Everyone asks. "To practice and play and really work at improving my golf game so I can compete better in the summer" Scott answered.

"Awesome. I love when people chase their dreams"

....I was a little taken aback that this man we had just met not only put his finger on exactly what we are doing - he commended us for it. It made me pause. It made me smile. It made me happy to have a tiny morsel of support, instead of the usual 'you guys are crazy' response, for our dream chasing life right now.

So, to all you dream chasers out there. I commend you. For being brave enough to make risks and chase your dreams.

Married: Heath & Rachel

This is a wedding I shot with Amy & Jordan Photography.

Heath & Rachel's wedding day was an amazing celebration so full of love and happiness. Their joy is infectious - from their huge smiles to their easy laughter. These two love each other in the most beautiful way - it was an honour to help document their day.

Lifestyle Photography: Kendra

It seemed like just yesterday we got together for this casual session - when grad was still months and months away - somehow the winter flew by and when we recently got together for this session grad is just a month away now!!

Graduating from High School is such an exciting, scary, fun time and I just know that Kendra is going to take this world by storm. She is not only crazy beautiful but funny, outgoing, and smart too. Excited to see just how far she goes.

Unpacking.

We don't have a permanent home of our own. We rent a new place every time we move. Which means we pack - and unpack - a lot. It's kind of overwhelming at times which is why I probably block it all from my memory as soon as its over!!!


My brain is all scattered right now as we unpack our lives in our new place. So point form for all the randomness it is:

- Fairly certain we are single handedly keeping U-Haul in business. I'm starting to think it would be cheaper if we just bought our own moving van.

- Our cutlery has gone missing. Somewhere in our move it disappeared. No where to be found yet. In the interim, plastic is it.

- I have WAY too many clothes. I forgot just how many I didn't take down to AZ this year. Closet purge in the very near future.

- Our new place is way awesome. Granite counter tops with lots of space and a brand new oven. Can't wait to start baking.

- Second story condo means lots of trips up and down stairs while moving.

- I love our summer bed (as in the bed we only use in the summer and store in the winter). It is so comfortable I never want to leave it.

- Our couch didn't fit into this place. Literally could not get it through the door. Super sad about it. Thankful for friends who don't mind switching couches for a few months!

- Contemplating selling our too big couch.

- There is way too much snow here. 4 feet sitting on the lawn in front of our building. No way that is melting very quickly!

- Upside: Since the golf course is all covered in snow I get a little more Scott time before he starts work next week. Sneaking in all the hugs and kisses I can.




Happy to have the move over with and settled into one place for a little while :)
