An aspiring design student currently in Phoenix, Arizona. Navigating my early twenties with my tall, dark, handsome husband and loving every minute. This blog is filled with fragments of my life, from my greatest adventures to the painfully mundane.
You probably are recognizing all the changes. I have a new name, a new blog, & a husband. My recent nuptials will have to excuse my two month leave of absence. Everything went better than imagined, & don't worry I will be sure to post PLENTY of pictures. I am still waiting to get them all back, but I promise once I do I will share. I figured I would attempt to start the upkeep on my blog with my recent move to Phoenix. I am away from all my family & friends, starting a new adventure but could not be happier. I wanted to start sharing some of the honeymoon photos, because there will have to be several posts due to the amount of pictures. So, let me explain a few things as I go... My handsome husband Stew kept our honeymoon destination a secret for seven whole months. And a well kept one at that.... I did not find out until it was time to go. He couldn't have surprised me more than with a trip to the beautiful AUSTRALIA. I had always wanted to go there so I was naturally ecstatic. We made the long flight from LAX to Sydney, and immediately got into a car for a three hour drive to the Blue Mountains. Our first portion of the trip was a five day stay at the beautiful Wolgan Valley. Secluded in the valley and outback, it was just what the doctor ordered. It was so beautiful and tranquil. One of my favorite things was sitting on the deck eating breakfast while watching the kangaroos hop around just a few feet away. I completely fell in love with the place. In the pictures below it shows a little around where we stayed, a horseback ride we did one morning, a picnic in the middle of the valley, and a hike we did at the Glow Worm Tunnel (yes, the worms all glow in the dark in the tunnel). Enjoy!
Back in October, my fiance and I were able to do an engagement photo shoot with the talented Ben Christensen. He and his darling wife are friends of my sister and I, and we were so excited to take photos with him. I wanted to share a few. I hope you enjoy :)
This past weekend, Stew and I were able to do a photoshoot with Ciara Richardson. There was lots of unexpected rain, but we improvised and found a green house in Phoenix. Here is a little sneak peak!

As the summer comes to a close, I have been finding myself busier than ever. Today was the first day of my last semester in Utah. With a full schedule, work, wedding planning, and Arizona visits, I know now my leisurely reads will have to take the backseat for a while. But before the semester started I wanted to squeeze in this wonderful book my aunt recommended to me...Heaven Is Here by the wonderful Stephanie Nielson from nieniedialogues.com I got so engulfed by the book, I found myself reading any second I could. It is such an inspiring story and really was dear to me. And to add the cherry on top, Nie herself came into my work tonight and I was able to meet her and her darling children whom I have read about the last few days. If you want a good read, read this.
