Boo at the Zoo

Tonight T and I went to Boo at the Zoo with my friend Karen and her husband and then out to eat at the Macaroni Grill…YUMMY! That zoo was so over crouded there was hardly any parking so we left early to beat the traffic and headed to dinner. We did get some pretty neat pumpkin pictures though!

Photography workshop

A wonderful, sweet friend named Ginger did a photography workshop today at her house. I cannot express to you how talented she is! I feel so honored that she took the time to teach me and four others all her skillz! I know I definately learned a lot today and now I don’t feel like such a camera dummy! Thank you so much Ginger!!!! You all should definately go check out some of her work HERE .

Here are some of the shots we took today….

My day today…

Today we got a cold front! Yippppeee!!!! I’m so happy for fall and all the changes that come with it. I haven’t posted a Starbucks pic in awhile….it’s pretty bad when you walk in the door and they already start making your beverage before you order because they know you that well! Then again, it’s kinda nice too 🙂

I also broke down and bought the Twilight official movie guide. It’s awesome and the pictures are amazing and it’s perfect for those who are as obsessed with everything Twilight like ME! ha..ha..ha..

…and it’s the perfect time of year to read it! So go on and get yourself a copy already!!!

I’ve been taggy-poo’d

I’ve been tagged by Shannon to tell you six things you may not know about me. This may be hard..hmmmm……I’ve never been tagged before!

1. Winter and Christmas time is my favorite time of year. I start counting down the days in July because I can’t hardly stand it! As a teen I would start playing my Mariah Carey Christmas CD in July. The whole feeling and atmosphere of Christmas just puts me in a mood that’s indescribable. I want to live somewhere cold all year round so it will feel like Christmas because I don’t like shorts or hot weather…but I love sweaters, scarves, hats, and anything remotely soft and warm.
2. I bought eggnog at the grocery store today! 😛
3. I am into dark DARK nail polish and no, I am not a Gothic person Mom!
4. I love cooking and baking TV shows such as the Ace of Cakes and Barefoot Contessa. Someday I want to bake a 10 tier cake with chocolate ganache frosting and delicate flowers just to say I did and hopefully it will actually taste good!
5. One place on the earth I HAVE to go is Ireland….I just MUST go there!!!
6. I worry so much it causes me to have extreme anxiety. I know this is an issue and it always has been. I wish I could just live life normally and not worry about every freakin thing around me and stress about the future or what people think of me and just surrender it all to God, but that is the hardest thing in my life to do. That and I am an extreme pushover….I feel like people always get their way when they are around me because I feel like I want everyone else to be happy EXCEPT me! But my strongest desire is to see those I love happy, so it doesn’t bother me too much 🙂

So, now it’s my turn…My turn to tag people…Who am I tagging? How about… Bonnie, Karen, Summer, & Tiffany!
