{Sadie} Class of 2013

I've known Sadie her whole life...... I can't believe she's 18 and graduating from high school. I've enjoyed getting to watch her grow up and become the person she is today. She is beautiful and amazing and I can't wait to see what she does with her life. I know that she will do great things. She rocked her senior session.... She blew me away! I could have spent hours and hours running her from one location to another, taking a million pictures of her! I was having a little too much fun! Thank you, Sadie, for giving me the joy of capturing this time in your life.... Love you.

Finishing the editing on this session and just had to post this one in color... Isn't he just so precious!

YUMMY!!!!!!

Williams-Sonoma has the yummiest hot chocolate! I had never seen hot chocolate in a "salted caramel" flavor, so I just HAD to try it.......let's just say it passed the Kelly Taste Test with flying colors! Both the Salted Caramel and the Classic are delicious! It's still cold enough outside to warm up to a cup o' hot chocolate.....I highly recommend giving theirs a try!

Billion Clicks.org

I came across this website a little while ago and fell in love.... I fell in love with what it stands for.....thinking positive. It's so easy to let the negative voice in our head bombard our thoughts and bring us and others around us down. Just think how good we'd feel if we only thought positive, uplifting thoughts every moment of every day. Billion Clicks.org had the awesome idea of "clicking" your positive thoughts each day to help change the way you think and focus your thinking on only the positive......"We become what we think about. We think about that which we focus on." They have their website set up so you can go in and log your positive clicks, as their goal is to reach a "billion clicks". So, you can bet I ordered my clicker! (It also doubles as a pitch counter for baseball!!) And, yes, I had to have a pink one! I'm such a girly girl! But, I've got my clicker and I'm ready to start counting my positive thoughts each day! So, go to their website and order your clicker and start focusing on the positive!

Make sure you also visit their blog for daily inspiration! "think. click. be......"

Kelly...............

This is my friend, Kelly.... Not only do we have the same first name, but we also have the same middle name. Our friendship goes all the way back to elementary school....back to the days of being in Campfire Girls together and slumber parties. I remember camping out in a tent in the backyard one night, telling ghost stories and playing Light As A Feather....ooh! scary! Then we moved on to junior high and then high school together, where we graduated together. Then she went off to college for awhile, then came back and went to Highline Community College and completed their nursing program. She then married her high school sweetheart and moved in a few houses down, so we've been neighbors for years now. She is still one of my best friends today. She is an amazing person........she's accomplished, and the best mother and wife. She has the biggest, kindest heart and is always there for you when you need her. She has a strength from within that just blows me away, which she would have to have in her nursing career at Swedish, taking care of kidney patients and having to lose some of them to death. And now as a nurse dealing with cancer patients at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. I'm proud of who she is and who she's become and am lucky to still have her in my life and to be able to call her my friend..... Kelly, you are beautiful! Thank you for letting me capture you during this time in our lives.
