Green Wedding Shoes

I was searching to find inspiring wedding blogs
for my sister-in-law-to-be Danielle,

when I stumbled upon this....


I love Jen's blog
Green Wedding Shoes.

And I especially love
these vintage inspired
engagement photos.

Wisteria


I love Wisteria.

It is my dream to one day own a house.
And around that house I am going to grow beautiful Wisteria.
So that I will be able to go outside and pick
a vibrant bouquet of the purple flowers.




When I went to Guadalajara a month ago,
there were beautiful purple Wisteria everywhere.




Especially in the historical district of Guadalajara.
Wisteria growing up on the old buildings and cathedrals.



These were just a few pictures I took while I was there.

On my last trip...

... I went to Las Vagas.


I saw the lights of this hotel...



I saw thousands of flowers in this hotel...



I saw the fountains of this hotel...



I saw butterflies in this hotel...



I took a picture with Rachel here...



I had espresso here...



I walked by this hotel daily...



I also...

1. Saw "The Phantom of the Opera"

2. Bought a new bikini.

3. Got a sunburn because of the new bikini.

4. Decided to go see a movie because the sunburn hurt to bad
to stand outside in the 100 degree weather.
We saw Star Trek. Love it!

5. Had dinner at a beautiful restaurant in the Venetian Hotel.

6. Gambled in the Balligio.
I put 1 dollar in a slot machine
and lost it 30 seconds later.
That was all the gambling for me.

Orphanage

When I was
in Mexico
last month
I had the
privilege
to spend
some time
in an orphanage.

Here are some photos
that I took...













Annie Leibovitz...

...is one of my favorite
photographers.

I love how she
takes fairy tales
and stories...

and makes them
come to life.

(The Wizard of Oz)

(Marie Antoinette)
