it’s friday y’all

Two days ahead of bliss…and this week even more so because it’s Mother’s Day weekend!

I’ve got a really, really great mom. One who deserves the world for putting up with me for the last 25 years, but more on that another day.

I listened Jasmine Star’s talk at the OC Summit yesterday (if you’re a photographer go watch that), and she talked a lot about getting your personality out there on the internet. Some people get really thrown off by this, others, like me, think it’s an incredible way for future clients to get to know me before we even talk. She suggested doing a bi-or weekly series on our blogs. I loved the idea and tried to brainstorm all the catchy titles I could think of.

Friday Favorites. 
Wonderful Wednesday. 
Tubular Tuesday.
Things I found Thursday.

They were all that bad. So. I just decided on “It’s Friday Y’all“.

Call me crazy, but I’m diggin it.
I have no idea if anyone (but my mom) will be reading these, but hey. We’re doing this anyway.

So Friday!

I had a big week! If you didn’t see, I got published in the Denim + Grace 2014 Posebook. I cannot even begin to explain how excited I am to get this book in the mail. There’s no doubt tears will be in the presence of opening that box. I am so, so thankful to serve a God who’s so amazing.

This weekend I’m attending a women’s conference and the speaker is Lysa TerKeurst. I did a study on her book Unglued and loved every chapter. She’s one of those women that you just know “gets you”, her writing often felt like we were just chatting over coffee, which I love.

I loved this post by Holley Gerth.

Chelsea posted put Duke in her blog. And duh, I read all the comments to see the one’s about Duke. #proudmama
Also. If you haven’t bought her book yet. Go do that now. It was such a great summer read!

Last night the Cleveland Browns drafted Johnny Football. A call I made on Twitter earlier on in the day…but we won’t go there. Poor Johnny sat around for 22 picks, something I don’t think anyone in the sports world thought would happen. He waited, and waited, and waited…for Cleveland. Welcome home buddy! Little fun fact for ya, the Cleveland Browns have gone through 20 quarterbacks since 1999. If we make Hoyer 21, then that would mean Manziel would be 22, ALSO the number he was drafted! Maybe I’m getting way ahead of myself here. But it’s a thought. Also. Turns out the owner of the Browns got his draft day advice from a homeless man. Classic Cleveland. Super Bowl Champs.

And here’s a little inspiration for your weekend. Happy Friday y’all.
