life is too short.

{via papertissue}

life is too short to be unhappy.

life is too short to feel taken advantage of.

life is too short to not get what you really deserve.

life is too short to continually let someone walk all over you.

life is too short and precious to waste.

i'm not wasting it anymore.

i'm just going to trust that the Lord will have something else for me.

and will take care of me.

{i know he will}

BRB

The family I work for is taking me to Florida for a few days.

{this is the sixth time i have been to florida with them - in 2 years}

anyway, i'm not bringing my computacion.

since my phone can access the internet and i want to board the flight in somewhat ease.

see ya tuesday!

xo

forgive me.

i suck, i know.

i have completely avoided the blogsphere for the last week for not really any good reason.

i've just been up and down and up and down and didn't really have anything to talk about.

if you didn't know,

i have been desperately trying to find a second job.

i've gone to like 5 interviews and turned two down and rejected by the others.

i have one more on friday and if i'm rejected for that i don't know if i can handle it.

ryan had to take his weekend job back to help get us back on track with all this student loan crap and i have been picking up odd jobs like nobody's business.

i just hope things start looking up soon.

hope things are well with you babies!

BUY ME!

Still trying to find a home for my 1950's restored wedding dress,

you can get more info about it here:

oncewed

If you love me and this dress, repost to your blogs so I can sell this baby!

oh and ps. just reduced the price!

a little list.

i don't think i have mentioned this before,

but i am OBSESSED with christmas.

not only because my birthday is the day before,

but because it's the most amazing time of year.

this year ryan and i are going back to my home in lake tahoe and i can't wait to be surrounded by 6 feet of snow and actually have it feel like christmas :)

sooo, of course i've been making my little christmas/birthday list, which gets to be twice as long since i have two gift receiving days.

{trust me, i'm a firm believer in it's better to give than to receive and i give some great gifts}

but here's a little HINT list to ryan, my mom, my sister, and whoever else.

sorry charlie's but these are all on etsy and most one of a kind, so i'm not linkin any of em!

because i want them all :)

but family,

ask me for links,

and you shall receive.

i'm back!!

mannnn, what a long week we had.

it originally seemed so open and relaxing but things really picked up and i ended up doing things literally all day everyday.

i worked on a new FX show called "Outlaw Country",

i filmed a short film thing with ryan about nashville, we had to make out on camera, which was weird ha...

on top of working, i was working later than normal too,

i had two separate job interviews and an audition for a student film,

and spent time with friends and such.

it was a very busy week.

ryan left early this morning for seattle, so i'm alone all week again.

and today is open, all day,

i slept in and am looking forward to having some time to write and read and just relax.

even though it's nice to be busy, it's also nice to be able to reflect and work on things you love.

i'll probably go blog happy today and do multiple posts, just to make up for my absence last week ;)

dun dun dun

i am currently in a blog rut

uggggggh,

or maybe it's because i have had a million things to do this week.

still processing,

taking me free time and relaxing,

maybe in a few i'll actually get back to posting.

maybe not.

maybe...

xo

oh how the years fly by.

aren't you all happy to know that my anniversary special series ended today?!

no longer will i be posting 5 posts a day about little things i remember for you to enjoy,

or maybe i will,

somedays i'm a little blog happy.

anyway, hope you all learned a little more about ryan and i in my pre-blog days.

he's awesome.

but back to the real life thing, yesterday we woke up a little early {for a saturday} and drove thirty minutes away to gentry's farm for a pumpkin patch.

of course, we were the ONLY people there without children, but we worked with it.

there was a corn maze, hay ride, petting zoo and a pick your own pumpkin patch.

and being the impatient person i am,

i insisted we carved our pumpkins as soon we got home, and after i went to an audition,

so we did while watching back to the future three.

amazing,

here's ryan's vvvv

and our totally 70's not so cute house, but cute fall decor.

and these are those weird things i wrote about a little while ago,

oh over here,

and that's my pumkin.

his throat thing fell off when i carved out the mouth and owen grabbed it off the table and tried to swallow it before i could reach my fingers down his throat and grab it...

and then super glued back on.

happy fall!

Anniversary Special: Timeline

i know we're now only suppose to count our wedding anniversary as "the" anniversary but it doesn't feel right.

here's to, so far, the best three years of my life.

thanks for being my best friend, dressing like me and laughing at my insane humor.

also making me think i'm good at comedy and improv because i bring you to tears {the laughter kind}

and for loving me more each day and pushing me to be the best i can be, but understanding of my own process and giving me room to grow.

i love you.

Anniversary Special: First Photos

The first photos we took together.

right in the beginning.

Anniversary Special: Grillz

happy valentine's day to me circa 2008.

ryan gives the best presents.

yes, his is gold and says "pimp"

{don't be offended puhhhleeeez}

i'm all serious in this photo.

thug life fo' realz.

Anniversary Special: Owen in Tahoe

yeah i know i have something in my teeth.

my absolute favorite place to go swimming in tahoe.

and the first time we took owen there,

he destroyed a family's fun noodle,

and then took a fat dump...

in the water...

right in front of them.

you know,

because he didn't want to get out of the water, and do it on land, like a normal dog.

Anniversary Special: The Salt Flats

after three full days of driving from nashville, tennessee to truckee, california.

it totally makes sense to stop at the salt flats in utah,

in 95 degree heat...

to play frisbee with owen.

Anniversary Special: Halloween

ryan was a youth pastor.

i was rosalie from the twilight series.

he was always wearing a sweatband on his other arm.
