bright colors.

I don't know about you, but i love bright colors.  when i'm at a store full of shoes, i'm drawn to the bright colors.  the neons.  and lucky for me.... bright colors are "in" this season.  it's a great way to make a statement.... with a bright watch or nail polish.

I really love this watch, and if I could get it right now, I would.

I've been waiting to find a nail polish this color for a long time.  I think it's super fun and goes with anything.

saturday ramblings.

I like Arizona.

Sure, it's hot.  It's ugly.  I call it Snottsdale.  But I really love it.  

It's where my home is.  It's my favorite place to be.

I like Arizona.

 I like old stuff.

If you know me at all, you would know that I like old stuff.

Old stuff is very intriguing to me.  It's something that someone else owned first.  Someone else loved before me.  And now, I get the beat up, rusty version of it.  And, I love that look.  

 I like people.

People make me really really really really really happy.  I don't know how long I could live without people around me.  

Introducing my new photography partner..........

Otis.

People, he follows me everywhere.  And I don't like it.  I think I need to fire him.  

I changed my blog design.

I needed something new, and I really am liking this.  What do you think?

What are your Saturday ramblings?

Friends.

Hello, my lovely readers!  I am back after a really lovely and fantastic time with my friends!!!   Pictures will be posted soon, but for now, here's a post i've been thinking about for a long time.

_________________________

So this post has been one of those posts that I was going back and forth over.  Thinking about whether to post it or not, how much to say, etc etc..  But anyway, I'll tell you what I'm really thinking.

So, I have these two friends (you know who you are).  These two friends I've known for a very long time in my life.  I didn't actually get really close with them until last summer.  And we all agree that last summer was when God really changed us, and made us much closer.  Not only did it change us, it changed the way I looked at friendships.  It changed the way I thought friends should be.

Let me tell you something.... these friends are absolutely amazing.  They tell me when they screw up.  They tell me when I screw up.  They are forgiving and repentant.  They are hysterical.  And they really define what a true friend should look like.

And these friends, whom I love dearly, who I spent late nights giggling and talking with, who I could talk to for hours, are moving.

They're moving.  And I have finally wrapped my mind around that thought.  When I first heard it, I thought it was such a horrific thing.  Such a terrible thing, and why did they have to go?

But it's sinking in now.  And I keep getting reassured over and over that this is where they're supposed to be.  And although I'll miss them like heck, I know that this is God's plan, and this is the right thing for them to do.

Thank you, girls, for being amazing friends.  Words cannot describe how much I'll miss you.  I love you forever.

-e <3
