On a Sweet Weekend

Last weekend was a wonderful weekend full of a lot of memories. On Friday, Ricardo and I went on a harbor cruise with The Citadel. 

On Saturday, we celebrated a year of dating. Time has flown, but it has truly been a blessed year full of a lot of wonderful memories. 

Most of Saturday morning we spent working in the yard to get everything ready for my uncle's memorial on Sunday. It was a BEAUTIFUL day and I took the opportunity to take pictures of my babies who absolutely love the sunshine! 

They're definitely my favorite subjects to photograph :-) 

On Sunday, we had my Uncle's memorial. It was very bitter-sweet, but I feel like it was truly representative of who he was. It was beautiful and I know he would have loved it. He will be greatly missed.

On Life, {Love} and the Pursuit of Happiness...

It's been a long time since I've blogged. And I've never blogged anything without a true purpose. For some reason, this is something I've wanted to do. An outlet for me, I guess. A way to document life. So here it is:

Life is in the fast lane lately. I can't believe how quickly things change, and yet every time I turn around, I find myself wishing away the present and hoping for the future. In the future I've accomplished all my goals and become the person I want to be. Everything is perfect. It's funny how easy I forget that everything is a process and everything takes time. One step at a time. So in order to live in the present a little bit more, I've made a list of things I want to do. Things I want to learn, ways to be more creative, things that I just think I would enjoy. Kind of like a bucket list, but more skills than experience, although it will be a little bit of both. The first on my list is photography. It's something I really enjoy, but I would love to learn more about. I feel like the best way to do that is to, well, do it. I'm on spring break right now, and my goal is to get out there and take some pictures. Hopefully I'll learn some new things and, most importantly, just have fun with it. Until then, here's a little bit of what's been going on in my life:
