{ Picture Perfect Sunset }

We celebrated our nephews high school graduation last weekend and his party was held on the lake where we got to enjoy the most amazing sunset. I think a sunset like this every evening of my life would be the perfect ending to each day. These photos are all SOOC (straight out of the camera/no editing).

{ Leap Brother }

It always impresses me that my little brother Charles can do some really cool tricks on the trampoline, on a skateboard or just in general, I wish I had some talent (heck, at this age I'd take ANY talent). We took this series of pictures last weekend that show just how high this white man can jump, he's jumping over myself and our little brother Jared, and he makes it look easy!

{ I'm a Winner }

I recently won this beautiful bracelet in a blog giveaway from one of my favorite fashion bloggers, The Budget Babe (http://www.thebudgetbabe.com/). I couldn't believe out of 182 entries that I had won, especially because it was such a beautiful prize to win! The bracelet is the Bardot Spiral Bangle by Stella & Dot and I love it, I've already worn it and I've only had it a week! I'm so glad to have this beauty to add to my jewelry collection, so I give the Budget Babe and Stella & Dot stylist Jenny Ratkovich a huge THANK YOU!
