Your handsome husband who looks dashing in a beard and suit and puts his hand on the small of your back at parties

Last night I went to a ridiculously fun party with Mike.  I needed to unwind and it was so fun to get to spend some time with him and a bunch of really warm and funny peeps.  I ran across this post this morning on tips for what to give to the man who stands next to you at parties.  Hopefully it helps you cross one special guy off your list.xoxo Suzanne

Happy Monday! Hope this wet weather hasn't made you too damp and dreary. I am posting today tucked in the basement of my school's library while diligently studying for my finals this week. Looking at the pictures I chose for today's post is forcing me to look at my glass as half full, even though I'm up to my neck in books and papers. SheWanders has the magic touch; they always manage to click the camera at the perfect place and time. These photos remind me that times of stress and confusion are necessary in order to realize the true beauty of happiness and bliss.... xoxo... Jessica of the Wanderersshewanders photography

Anyone see the lunar eclipse on Saturday? I heard it was spectacular. Listen to one of my favorites from The Rolling Stones: "Moonlit Mile"

Happy Monday! I hope everyone was able to relax for a least a little while this weekend. In addition to my fortunate involvement with the wedding and lifestyle photographers at SheWanders, weddings are on my mind. I hope to have one of my lovely sisters engaged soon! One of many questions: Where will the wedding be held? I'm receiving ideas and inspiration from the many of the stunning wedding locations in the SheWanders collection. From quaint backyards to lavish chapels, sometimes I need to be reminded that it isn't the dress, the ring, or the location that's most important; it's the infinite amount of love and happiness between two people that is to be truly celebrated.  Tell your friends and family you love them a couple extra times this week.... xoxo...

If Mr. Right were to come along today and ask me for my hand in marriage ( it's totally plausible, right?) I would choose this song for our first dance: My Morning Jacket's "True Love Waits"

It's that family time of the year again. We have been photographing some of our most favorite families over the last couple of weeks. It's part of the holiday season that you make that extra effort to see your friends and family. I'm most excited for my family and Mike's family to get to town. I was watching Parenthood last night while I was working and remembered how much I loved Bob Dylan's immortal lyrics and thought I'd share some family portraits with you.I hope that this holiday season you get to be near your loved ones.Happy Friday! xoxo Suzanne

Bob Dylan May God bless and keep you always May your wishes all come true May you always do for others And let others do for you May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung May you stay forever young Forever young, forever young May you stay forever young. May you grow up to be righteous May you grow up to be true May you always know the truth And see the lights surrounding you May you always be courageous Stand upright and be strong May you stay forever young Forever young, forever young May you stay forever young. May your hands always be busy May your feet always be swift May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift May your heart always be joyful And may your song always be sung May you stay forever young Forever young, forever young May you stay forever young.
