Currently || February

February came and went so quickly, I'm still trying to figure out how it's already March 5th! Here's a recap of how the month went.

Eating...cucumbers with hummus like it's going out of style. I also went on a deli meat and cheese kick made into little rolls and dipped in spicy brown mustard.

Drinking...all the espresso now that we have a legit espresso machine! Unfortunately I got a nasty head cold earlier in the month so I was also downing a natural remedy that cleared me up in 4 days flat! It's good for a nice little detox, too. Mix juice from half a lemon (or other citrus), an ounce of raw honey, an ounce of Bragg's organic apple cider vinegar, a pinch of turmeric, and about a teaspoon of freshly grated ginger. When I was really stuffed up I threw in a pinch of cayenne pepper for good measure. I added crushed ice and drank it twice a day. So good!



Reading...tutorials for projects to make with my new Cricut Explorer! I have yet to get it cranking up since my computer is on the fritz but the list of things to make keeps growing.

Watching...Night Watch on A&E on Thursday nights. It's a good one.

Cooking...on the grill since we have been blessed with some awesome weather lately. The hubs grilled some delish chicken that still makes my mouth water.

Baking...my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe from Martha Stewart. The cookies are more cake-like and chewy--my fave.

Loving...the chance to spend time with my grandparents who came to visit for the month. I hadn't seen them in 5 years so it was well overdue. Bonus: Josh got to meet them for the first time and they loved him, naturally.

Wanting...a new computer since mine is hanging on by a thread. I gifted myself a 15" MacBook Pro when I graduated college 8 years ago (whoa, I'm feeling really old right now!) and it has hung in there for far longer than expected. It is trying so hard to keep up with the few programs I run on it, but it is killer trying to get anything done, especially editing. Just hang in there little buddy, my money tree is still growing!

Wearing...my new favorite jeans, the sexy girlfriend, from GAP. I loved the first pair so much I had to stock up before they were gone!

Trying...to keep up on my cardio schedule and picking up a bi-weekly private yoga session with one of my girlfriends. This along with my 2 regular weekly yoga sessions should get me ready for the river this summer, hopefully!

Feeling...nostalgic about my wedding day since we've been working on our wall collage for the living room. I ordered a couple canvas prints and now just have to figure out which prints to frame.

Swooning...over the delicious dishes at Nikki and Matt's new downtown Tucson breakfast/brunch/lunch joint, nook. From the food to the urban rustic decor, this place is amazing! I'm doing their photography work and could not be more excited nor more proud of this great endeavor they've included me in.

Making...time for long walks and dog park visits with Mr. Ricardo while the weather is still tolerable for his easily overheated body.


Organizing...my external hard drive and realizing I take far more (non-client) images with my iPhone than with my DSLR. I should work on that.

Pinning...inspiration and tips for improving my hand lettering.

Celebrating...5 months of marriage to my favorite!

Our Wedding!

Sound the horns, our wedding images are here! 

Marcos did a fantastic job capturing our big day and I'm so excited I get to relive it over and over again! It's also fun to see some of the moments I missed while being secluded in the bridal suite pre-ceremony. One little twist I hadn't mentioned before (and why delivery of the images was delayed) is that not all of the finished images were shot on our wedding. Say what?!? That crazy storm wreaked havoc on Marcos' flash equipment which made it hard to complete some of his planned shots. So a few weeks after our wedding, Josh and I hopped back in our wedding attire, got all done up again, and did a fun little shoot downtown with Marcos and his wife.  I love both sets equally and can't wait to get our favorite prints framed on the wall.

Without further ado...



Talking to my abuelita

If Lola didn't cry at least once, it wouldn't be right!


The chaos behind the scenes!




Handkerchiefs with our names and wedding date wrapped in a "For your happy tears" note.

The moment my dad winked at me and all the feels started flowing!

She was perfection!

So full of emotion and happy to have my dad by my side. Not pictured: the really ugly cry face just before this!

That face staring back at me was everything.





Nikki cries a lot, too!


This must have been the part about spark plugs!



WE DO!










See, more Lola tears!









My something old and borrowed was my mother-in-law's mother's wedding ring that my seamstress incorporated in my dress with blue thread and a cute blue ribbon. I think it was a success!








Redo shot!

Redo shot! And perhaps my favorite!

Redo shot!

Redo shot!









Yup, we cut the wrong layer. Doesn't matter, I ate both layers anyway!




I melt every time I see this image. Definitely a favorite.














The end!
