Perhaps telling them to paint whatever they wanted wasn't the best thing. But it was fun!

Trinity + Braedon // Engaged
Now this was one fun couple! I had to smile during the shoot each time they'd incredulously say "I can't believe we're actually doing engagement pictures!" It didn't take long to see that they just really love being with each other. Which only strengthens my resolve that best friends make for the best couples :)

Yes, I'm sure! I think.
Sayonara chocolate molten lava cake. And raspberry cheesecake. And cookie dough on a spoon. In a little test with ourselves, Anna and I are going off all sweets until the marathon. Actually, it's already happening - I haven't had any treats since Sunday! To some people this is probably called normal eating ... but not this girl. It's not as if I'm eating Reeses and cookies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner but I do have a hard time saying no.
So far this week I've said no thanks to dulce de leche cake (that looked AWESOME, by the way), lemon meltaways, chocolate nuggets, cookie dough & brownie cookies, gingersnap cookies, and a few more things that I won't bother to list because it's making me hungry.
Technically this is only for about 1 1/2 months. And let's be realistic - I'd never be able to cut treats out completely. We just booked a cruise for June and my willpower can only hold out for so long. But maybe I'll have more power to say no to mediocre sweets and only settle for quality stuff. And say yes to all sorts of awesome fruit options. The real test will be this weekend when I have to make a cake without eating any of it. If I can pass that test, I think I'm golden! Wish me and my willpower the best of luck.

Look out - Curlie is ready to pop! I have my fingers crossed for Wednesday night or Thursday ... but I think Curlie has her fingers crossed for ASAP, PLEASE.

The First of Many:
Springtime downtown has got to be one of the most beautiful things. White blossoms everywhere and that crisp spring smell in the air. And Anna and I have this in common: we love to take walks and take pictures. Usually at the same time. So of course we ended up at the Capitol where we hit the tail end of the beautiful blossoms.

Downtown has risen!
We walked over to the new City Creek Center today on our afternoon break. Very exciting! And a nice man even took our picture and emailed to me. I'm sure my email is now on the City Creek mailing list, but whatever. It's an opening day souvenir that cost me zilch! And having just walked through the new Tiffany & Co. store, I find that zilch is much more within my price range. Now if only we'd chosen a different frame for the pic ...

I made it through St. Patrick's Day without wearing green and only got pinched once! Not that I dislike the holiday at all. It was just a busy day. Oh and I also ate a lot of these in the process of baking ...

Karlee // Expecting
So awhile ago, as in 10ish years ago, we were at Thanksgiving dinner with our extended family. Karlee and I were in the kitchen cleaning up and we started joking about being pregnant. Then we started taking pretend maternity pictures because ... well, I don't know. Just curious to see what it would look like, I guess. We predicted that this is what Curlie would look like:
I considered including my pretend maternity picture, but then I saw it again and realized that no one else should see it. Ever. Mostly because of the excessive eyebrow overplucking stage I was in at the time. But Curlie? Nice! Pretty much a bump on a log. Fast forward to the present: were we right about her "pregnancy look"? I think the real thing looks good on her!
I like to call the above photo
GIT.IN.MAH.BELLEE!
Am I right or am I right??
Real-pregnant Curlie looks a little less basketbally and a bit more baby girlish. Does she just look so happy? I can't wait until April when we get to meet that cute 'lil thing!

Makes me happy.
And a song that makes me happy too. I can't seem to get enough of Andrew Belle lately.
