Happy Birthday to my Momma!  People have told me my whole life that I look just like you, but I don't know what they're talking about...Just kidding!  Of course I do!  I'm so thankful for all of the other wonderful things I inherited from you, like the desire to create a memorable experience for the people I love, being generous with time to serve others, and being clumsy in the most adorable way.  I  hope you have the best day.  I love you, and for as long as I'm living, my momma you’ll be.

Happy Birthday to my big brother, Breton!  You are my lifelong adventure buddy, and the best brother a girl could ever ask for.

I commissioned this watercolor painting by an artist on Etsy called Andriy Lugovskoy for my Mom as a Christmas gift.  It's based off of a photo from our childhood, and it's now one of my favorite things.  I love, love, love family heirlooms.  Nothing makes me feel more than a piece of art like this.  Houses, cars, vacations, fancy dinners, you name it!  Heirlooms are the things I treasure most, and the items that will stick with me everywhere I go in life.  These memories are worth everything to me. .

My funny valentine being a cheeseball
When you know, you know.  Love comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, sexes, and ages.  It can show up unexpectedly, and often when you've stopped looking.  You might ease in to it not knowing that you're falling in love because they are a close friend, or you may get swept off your feet by a stranger.  Love is love is love.

Heading to my monthly meeting with @fortcollinsweddingassoc tonight, and looking forward to seeing some of my fellow vendors.  It's been so fun to get to know my community better, and plan local events to serve engaged couples + Colorado wedding vendors.  If you're planning a wedding and looking for some local businesses to help you, I highly recommend looking us up!

Starting the week off with my favorite moment on most wedding days.  Connor's reaction to seeing Leah for the first time on their wedding day had us all breathless.  He truly sees the most beautiful woman in Leah everyday, because that's just the kind of guy he is, and the kind of woman she is.  they know what they have, and they are grateful for each other. There's no doubt that all of the love and admiration he has had for her after all these years flooded in to this moment on their wedding day.  Can you imagine having the love of your life look at you like this?  In truth, at least in my marriage, these moments don't end on your wedding day.  They are just the beginning.  When you feel the emotions swell up in your chest, my best advice is to just feel them.  Be grateful for your partner, for the love you share, and the life you've created. Embrace the overwhelming romance of love in it's truest forms.

Every time I look at this photo I smile.  It's because this couple cared only about celebrating their day authentically - on top of a mountain pass with their closest friends and family.  They have traveled the world together, and live out of a van A LOT.  this day could not have been more "them". We hiked to their ceremony site, popped champagne after they said I DO, and then took portraits against a sweeping landscape of blue, yellow and green on our way back down to their sweet dogs.  It was such an amazing day, and I am so thankful they chose me to be a part of it.  Heather + Eric, you guys rock!  Heart soaring all over again.
