So, I’m supposed to have a baby any day now, but for some reason the lil guy or girl doesn’t seem to want to come out. I’ve been meaning to take photos of the nursery for a while now. So, today instead of sulking around and waiting, I finally got up to tackle this task. Sorry this is so late everyone, but don’t worry it’s totally worth it!
I love this nursery more that the entire house right now. It makes me super comfy every time I step foot in it. I feel like there is so much personality. This is in part, due to some of the wonderful pieces people bought or created for the baby. I feel like without even knowing it, every person who pitched in on something for this space, were working secretly with every other person to make sure it came out so perfectly. Great job everyone! haha! You guys sooo get me!
Du and Bao did a courthouse wedding earlier this year. I have a love for courthouse weddings because I myself, had one with my husband. I love the spontaneity of them, not to mention saving all that dough! They needed some wedding photos, so I was really excited when we set it up. I knew they’d be great! They are a fun couple and you can definitely see the connection.

This was taken near the border of Oregon and Idaho, when Ryan and I moved to Texas from Washington last year. This is my favorite view from the entire trip. Its a road referred to as “Deadman Pass”. It’s called that, because around 1895 there was a number of accidents and deaths, some of which were due to Indian attacks. Fun! This photo was taken about halfway up the pass, the view is even better at the top, but unfortunately, when you’re going up the hill, you don’t get access to that view. Of course, as you can see, its still pretty amazing even at the halfway point.
The reason its one of my favorites, is because it was just as beautiful seeing the second time as it was the first. See, the first time I saw this view, I was by myself and moving to Seattle to pursue a job. You get to see a lot of gorgeous landscapes on the journey, (I was also a fan of Colorado). The reason this view is one of my favorites is purely because when you’re traveling north on 84, it is one of the the biggest visual surprises you’ll EVER see.
Let me paint a picture for you. You’re driving out of Idaho going north on 84. You’re driving on a straight road up this gradual incline with heavy woods on both sides. The next thing you know, you turn a long corner with a large hill to your right, when you simultaneously reach the edge of the hill and the edge of the curve, there it is. This mix of soft blue skies, a pastel pink and purple haze over the horizon line, and a mix of lush green and gold farmlands scattered to the edge of tan, navy shadowed hills. It’s pretty breathtaking, especially when you don’t expect it.
When I found this image the other day, I remembered how symbolic it felt at the time, while driving back up it on the way back to Texas. The first time, my journey was full of unknowns and surprises. I had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. On the way back, I knew what to expect, only this time I had more experience and knowledge behind my journey. I also had a new husband. I was so glad I got to show it to him.
I got to 23 weeks this week. It’s going by sooo fast these days. I woke up yesterday to my pregnancy app reminding me to turn on the radio and sway to the music because the baby can sense the movement. I was already kinda doing this anyways, since I’ve been getting into all kinds of new tunes, but I haven’t really felt like having any photos of me taken since I got pregnant. I’ve already gained more than I’m supposed to, and now I’m just trying to maintain. But you know what? Who cares! That’s what! So I set up my camera, and danced.
