Birthday Month.

It's my birthday month! ♥

Hurt.

Betrayal, pain, hypocrisy.
Always the victim...right?

Life brings the unexpected, the unimaginable.
Perfect world turns upside down.

Deserved? Or is life really this unfair?
Continually growing stronger in my pain.

I give it all to You.
I would crumble trying to handle all this on my own.

Desiring the happy days of old,
how did life take such a turn?

I'm a survivor.

Weddings.

Thinking about tomorrow's wedding, here are some of my favorite wedding photos... ♥

Ahh, the weekend!

I love Fridays. I love the weekend. I'm such a planner. I always have my weekends planned out and attempt to avoid as much idle time as possible; except for Sunday afternoons - those call for naps and lounging.

This weekend will proceed as followed:

+Paesanos for dinner and opening night of Eat, Pray, Love with my girlfriend, J. {I loved the book & am super excited to see the movie!}

+Gym, shopping, & errands Saturday morning.

+My friend, B.'s, wedding on Saturday evening. {I love weddings. They melt my heart.}

+Church on Sunday followed by lunch & hanging out at a friend's house after.

NYC Dumpster Swimming Pools.

New York City went green by converting city dumpsters into swimming pools for NYC residents during the summer months. How fun is that?! :)

Summer Fiesta Wedding.

Aren't these wedding photos just delightful?

So fun, so unique, so green! ♥

I am very much into unique, non-traditional weddings like this. It's all about details.

Hillsong LIVE!

I went to my 4th Hillsong concert on Wednesday night! I oh-so-love them. It was a great worship experience. I always get so encouraged at these events. I love Jesus. ♥ OH! And my friend, Jonathan, and I actually got to meet a few of the members of Hillsong!

Here are some pictures.

Weekend in Pacifica.

Here are some pictures from my weekend in Pacifica.

Nature, family, beauty.

Bliss.

I arrived Friday night and enjoyed some girl chat with my aunts and cousins along with some zumba dancing and tons of laughing! Saturday morning we went to this cute diner for breakfast and stopped in a little surf shop to browse around. Then, we headed over to my cousin, Tyler's, play performance. He landed the role of Aladdin in the this oh-so-adorable version of Aladdin. We all headed back to the house for the celebration of four recent family birthdays - food, cake, dancing, and fun. A few of us headed out to the beach to enjoy the ocean, watch the surfers, and hike up to a beautiful view of Pacifica. Late night, I went out with my cousin and some of her girlfriends to SF. Fun times. Sunday consisted of church, seeing some friends, and some more hiking and beach time. All around a great weekend. ♥
