It feels like an eternity has passed since I had the desire and will power to do a blog post! I've literally been filling my days with crafting, venue shopping, packing for our next vacation, preparing for the full-time student load, and putting together makeup looks and outfits for 1 of 2 engagement photo-shoots. Why 2 you ask? Well If you haven't already heard, my cousin Joy, of Joy Michelle Photography, is the bees knees when it comes to themed photography shoots! we've both been infected with photo bug syndrome and love to shoot things whenever we can! The pictures that she captures will be used on and all over our wedding website!!! Our second photo-shoot will be done by local photographer Collette Marie Thrasher of Collette Marie Photography. Collette and I went to high-school together and since then she has married, become a mother, and one talented photographer!! Her editing is to die for and I couldn't imagine not having an engagement album taken by her. She also took my nieces baby photos and took the family's breath away! In other news,
it feels like only yesterday my Joybee was days away from getting married and this month marks her one year anniversary. So Happy Anniversary you two! May God bless you even more this second year of marriage! I have to say I've been learning a lot about priority focus these last few months. At times I can feel myself putting others and especially wedding planning before my quiet time with the Lord. What's the result you ask? It has left me worn out, anxious, and unfulfilled. Even the blessings HE gives us can become too high on the priority scale and end up turning into a negative process. Without God I have NOTHING. Everything I "have" belongs to Him and I need to thank Him daily and devote the majority of my time to Him. In this way life becomes balanced, fulfilling, and credit goes to where credit is due. If God is not the center of our marriage then it will be lack luster and not up to its full potential. On a less thought provoking note,
Literally just five seconds ago my dad agreed to our venue of choice! (BIG DEAL) This means the wedding website is a week away from publishing all the details for friends and family. Welp, I've been running around all day and am feeling a little anxious so I think I'm going to call it a night and take a walk with my momma. Till Tomorrow Lovlies!
