Project Life 4/8-4/14

This the first time I have ever uploaded my project life pages to my blog and to be honest this is the first time I have posted on my blog in a very long time.

I have worked so very hard on week of Easter that I had to post pictures to share all of my hard work. You see, not only did we have Easter with hunting Easter eggs, our church put on a Easter production which I received the privilege of being apart of and my 23rd birthday was Monday. There were a few other small events like me mom and I having a  shopping day at Archivers and Travis taking me on a late birthday dinner date. It was a fun but very busy week.

This is the right side which has our family Easter activities. I love being with family on holidays. It makes it much more festive.

We have a very two very special photographers in our church was so happy to shoot our Easter production and I am so very pleased with their work. They are the best photographers in Nashville.

I had to save one of our invite bracelets and put it in project life. We had been passing these bracelets out a month before Easter. It had Keep Your First Love on the front, which was the title of our production and our church website on the inside.

Just some more awesome photos from Easter!

Insert #6. A very girlie lunch to celebrate two birthdays and the company of an out of towner. I knew from the atmosphere of the cafe that I wanted a vintage feel. I knew I wanted October Afternoon.

Back side of insert # 6.

I love the October Afternoon buttons. I love buttons!

Insert # 7. Mom and I made a special girls day of shopping to Archivers for their 43% off all embellishment sell. That was definitely a fun day!

Back side of insert # 7. This was a few highlights from the rest of the week. But I am working on getting a QR Code for a video of a co-worker singing me Happy Birthday. It is so funny it needs to be in project life.

Insert # 8. I only had a few photo left but they were apart of my week so I did a mini insert.

Back side of insert # 8. I love my strawberry bag. It was one of the highlights of that day.



Right Side.

My hubby took me out the Opryland Hotel to the restaurant that we went to the day after our wedding. Solario is a gourmet Mexican restaurant in one of the most gorgeous atriums. We had a lovely night walking around the hotel eating ice cream and watching an amazing water fountain show. If you are ever in Nashville Opryland Hotel is a must see place!

I normally do not have 7 inserts but this was a very fun and jam packed week. I wanted every fun moment in my project life. Life goes by so fast why wouldn't I want to remember every moment.



Travis and Ashleys Wedding Movie Preimere

Everything is a party to me because there is always something to celebrate! Saturday night we had a movie premiere party to showcase our wedding video. It took a while for us to receive our videos due to our extra photo shoots and the fact that it took us forever to choose songs to put them to. But we finally received them and we wanted to share them with our closest friends and family.

There were many laughs and a few tears while watching our wedding video. But everything was beautiful just as we remember. I do have to say tears did fill my eyes when we watched grandad climbed the stairs to pray over us. He was an amazing man of God and I am so glad Travis could see this dream of his grandfather there on our wedding day praying blessings on our life. Such an amazing joy!

 Some of the best parties are the easiest and the cheesiest ones and that is exactly what we were going for.

 These are our beautiful wedding DVD cases with our beautiful picture on it. Just gorgeous!

 All the food was what you would see at a movie theater; popcorn, boxed candy, and the amazing pretzels with salt and butter.

 This is the DVD menu and it is one of our favorite shots from our wedding. Our faces say just how happy we were.

 Travis' best man was the only person missing. Matt holds a very special place in our hearts, he truly is family in our eyes.

 Everybody hanging out and watching the next movie on the list, Elf. A staple in the Christmas movie department. Yes, in November Santa visits our house and fills it with Christmas decor.

I am so happy everyone was here to share this with us. And yes, all parents will receive a copy of our wedding video as soon as possible.

Girls Day!

Mom and I had a wonderful girls day on Thursday. We don't get to spend that much time together now that our work schedules are opposite but we definitely make up for lost time. I was reading the book "Something Borrowed" by Emily Giffin and wanting to see the movie. (I tried to finish the book before I saw the movie but it didn't happen but I did finish a few hours after the movie. It is a must read!) So mom and I planned a day for us to go and see it. But if course any girls day would not be complete if there wasn't lunch and shopping. So first things first, lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. I know it doesn't sound all girly but dang it was good.
Our delicious boneless buffalo wings and french fries. Am I making anyone hungry? Our sauces consisted of Parmesan garlic, Asian zing, and the famous teriakyi. We thought we might have left overs for the guys but that theory went out the window as soon as those wings were on the table.


We went to the wonderful Target across the street because I wanted a certain floppy hat that my friend Kortney told me about at work. I found two hats that I loved but only choose one. Can you guess which I one I picked?

Hat A or...

Hat B?

I picked hat A. I love the colors and also the second one looked to floppy and covered what hair I have left. But I did decide that mom looked great in Hat B. But she disagreed. What do you think?

Here are the two goobers with the big hats are isle 10 who are taking pictures of everything! Who cares we were having fun!

And off to our movie we went. Mom brought the famous bucket she got roped into.

Isn't movie popcorn the best? It is so salty and buttery. Delicious! A movie is not a movie unless you have popcorn in your lap. Preferably in a bowl or a bucket!

This was a great movie and even a greater book. I hope you watch and read "Something Borrowed". It is a great story.

Happy Hour

Sometimes at work we need a happy hour. Its not the kind of happy hour you are thinking of, it's Starbucks happy hour. Half off frappacinos, oh yeah baby! I had to step out of the shop today and upon my return I had two wonderful drinks in my hand that would allow us to get through the four walk in brides (who all entered at the same time. No joke!) I brought my friend Kortney her strawberries and cream and I had a mocha coconut frappacino.

Here is my friend Kortney. We get along great and talk about fashion almost everyday.

The wonderful drinks! There is nothing more to say!

High Fashion Models

We were asked by miss Tanya to help her out by modeling some clothes for Sears her in Bellevue. We had so much fun that I had to take and post some pictures of this hilarious adventure.

We had exactly an hour to find an outfit that we liked and that fit. It turned out to be much harder to find an outfit than we thought it would be. We walked around for 20 minutes just looking. We finally just started grabbing clothes and went to the dressing room. Katy and I finally found outfits that we thought were actually cute and wouldn't mind taking exchange for doing the fashion show. (We got a $10 Sear gift card instead.)


When you think of a fashion show you think of a long runway with lights and music. Here is the Sears fashion show....walk up the broken escalator and pose while Tanya announces over the loud speaker your name and what you are wearing. We couldn't keep from laughing and feeling stupid the whole time. All I kept telling myself was this is for the wonderful Tanya.

Look at that my man is a hot model!! Haha!

Katy in her adorable sundress and uncomfortable white flip flops. Oh yeah, we even had to pick out shoes.

Plaid...nice choice!

There we are. The whole gang who was in this amazing fashion show. Don't we look snazzy!

Most of you don't know this but this is the Gateway Life Band's famous pose. Oh yeah, take it all in. We know you want to stand like that.

These are the adorable boys in their works boots. They wanted the rugged Adam Lambert look.

And these are the lovely ladies. Aren't we gorgeous Sears models. Hehe. You can make fun, we made fun of ourselves.

So this was our wonderful evening at the bustling Sears here in Bellevue. Even though we felt stupid we did have a fun night.

My Sami

I love my girlie so much! She is so beautiful inside and out. For so many years I have always tried to watch my life choices and actions because I know that this young beautiful girl is looking up to me. If she is the only life that I made an impact on then I have done my job as a young woman of God. I will always and forever be a strong and confident woman for this young lady to look up to. I love you Sami and I will always be there for you.

Travis and I took Brooklin to McDonald's after a long day of running around on a Saturday afternoon. And of course she wanted a sweet tea. She was so excited because I told her she could have her own sweet tea. I love seeing Brooklin smile, she gets excited over the smallest things.

Brooklin and I had a race who could finish their ice cream first. Travis also told her that if she finished her ice cream he would give her a dollar.




Brooklin with her very own sweet tea. I tried to fake her out by giving her half sweet half un-sweet but she was too smart. The first thing she said was this is not very sweet.


Our day ended with Brooklin getting her dollar. I love this little girl so much and I hate to see her go home. She bring so much fun to our lives.
