Happy Birthday to the Mister

This is my tribute to Justin, he is 25 today. Here's to the old and the new.

I have always admired the love Justin has for all of his nephews and niece. He has never been able to turn them down especially when there's mud involved.

Justin is able to make any situation fun!

This is Justin on his mission in the Philippines. I believe Justin was called to serve here because the Lord needed some one as compassionate as Justin to do the work in this area where there was so much poverty.

My Mister is better than your mister. This person continuously amazes me with his keen spirit and his passion. What is all so great about him is that he has a very carefree attitude towards life but he has his priorities set which are ultimately his beleif in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, his wife (teehee) and always striving to do good, stay fit and finish school. I have always known that my husband was meant to do great things and whatever he chose to do he would be good at. Justin will only involve himself in something that he can put his whole heart into. A job should be more than just a job to him and I admire his compassion. He is someone you can always trust in, he does not judge. To him, everyone is on equal ground. (He would make a pretty crappy politician.) And to add a little bit more cheese, never did I think that I would end up with someone as great as him. I owe him for my happiness. I've never been more complete. So now that I'm done being so vile...Justin loves the Zoo! So that's what we are doing today in celebration.

Avani Layne: A Creative Collection

I recently purchased these CUTE rings from my friend Danielle Bracken. She has
an Etsy store where she sells them and other pieces of jewelry. For those of you who aren't familiar
with Etsy, here is a word of advice "Hide your money or Etsy will get you". It's that awesome.
I love anything homemade and I love knowing where it has come from and
I especially enjoy supporting people in their crafty hobbies. Alot of times
I will use Etsy for craft inspiration when I'm feeling dull and lonely. It is candy
for the eyes, or uh..eye-candy :)

Below are some pictures I took today after I received my package in the mail
with the rings I desperately needed! They make great gifts (however you won't be receiving my rings) and Dani's rings are affordable! So here is my attempt at advertising.

My Husband, The Shoe Collecter.

Marriage brings on many pet-peeves, that otherwise if single, would go unnoticed. Such as my husband's love for leaving as many shoes as he can in front of our door. Even though this small peeve doesn't make me fuming mad, I still have a little fun with Justin's flaws. I decided to que him in a little by leaving this for him to wake up to. He thought it was cute of course, and he still piles his shoes in front of the door.

The Donnelly Photoshoot

At the End of February I did a photoshoot, and learned quite a bit. It has made me eager for more, the more photos I take the better my skills get!

New camera, a pretty Justin and our messy rooms!

I was playing around with my new camera. Justin was my test subject. He sure looks pretty for camera! He's a good sport. I'm glad he supports my photography endeavors!

These are our two very messy rooms. We haven't fully settled in yet and we
don't have any furniture of our own. We may be moving again soon so what's
the point?! I really look forward to decorating and making our space beautiful
when we do get our apartment!

Back in the day...

Circa 2004: Did alot of 4-wheeling, bonfires, staying out too late. I heart Utah.
I was a clown....what happened? not near as fun as I used to be.
Honestly, I only hung out with maybe half of these girls. 

Senior Year. Man I hated that school. (East Rowan)
I always tried really hard to jump into the photo's that Mr. Bowman at Cedar High would take and pin up on the school bulletin board....It was the end of the school year and I finally managed to ruin one of them!  Even better that I'm with my best pal, Stacy Bulloch.

Everytime was a blast, and perhaps maybe the only good thing that came from moving to N.C. my senior year.

If I wasn't so tired, I'd post more.....not tonight.
