Ok, so there was no Week 3…I missed last week’s edition.  So, on with Week 4.  I have a lot of faves, but narrowed them down to six.  Enjoy & Happy Friday & a very Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Friday Favorites  #1:  San Fran!

I have to put this as number 1, because in about an hour I am headed to SF for the first time.  My husband is joining me there tomorrow.  Tonight, I am going to a dinner & wine tasting with a good friend from High School.  I am so excited to finally spend some time in San Francisco.  I am determined to have lots of photos to share on here as well. Would be lovely if I could get a shot like this.

Friday Favorites  #2: Pirate’s Booty

Yes, that is what it is called.  If you have never heard of it, you should really try some.  They are all natural, Gluten free rice & corn puffs…my favorite is the Aged White Cheddar.  They are much healthier than grabbing potato chips & they taste way better. You can thank me later.

Friday Favorites  #3:  California Plates

This is kind of boring, but for me it was huge!  I have never ever had a car with a license plate other than Nebraska.  I was a little hesitant to even switch, but I’ll get over it.  I always loved having my Nebraska plates…always proud to say that I am from Nebraska.  However…don’t go thinkin I am not sporting something Nebraska related.  I have to represent!  PS—my car needs a good wash, but you get the point.

Friday Favorites  #4:  Design Aglow

I should have done this one last week.  {It’s been a busy week}.  I was pumped when Design Aglow showcased some of my products on their blog.  Design Aglow is an awesome place for photographers.  Especially one’s like me.  I handle everything with my business & sadly have little time to design everything {although I enjoy it when I do get time}.  They have amazing templates for basically anything under the sun.  The best part is you can completely customize them.  I even used some things for completely different marketing pieces.  It definitely helps out when you need something cool, fun & easy to customize.  Here is one image I took of them, click here to see the rest.

Friday Favorites  #5:  Regis

I love love love Regis Philbin!  I have watched the show for years (like many of you) & today was his final day.  I watched & seriously, was tearing up within the first 5 minutes.  He is such an awesome man.  I was extremely lucky to have gone to a taping of the show about 10 years ago.  It was just a couple months before Kathy Lee was done.  As soon as they taped I bee-lined it straight to Regis & with my camera in hand (I’m pretty sure that I was using a disposable).  I shook his hand and got a picture with him.  Only bad thing, is the flash didn’t go off.  It still turned out decent, but I was too chicken to ask for a re-take.  I gave him a quick hug & that was that.  He was a total sweet man, just like you think he would be.  Anyways, I wish I was posting that photo, but I’m pretty positive it’s somewhere in a box at my parents house.  So instead, this will have to do.  And, this is the worst photo-shop job ever, but I had 5 minutes to do it.  LOL!

Friday Favorites  #6:  My husband

Not to be cheesy, but yes this week my fabulous husband makes the top!  He is literally the most amazing man in the world {aside from my Dad which goes without saying–haha}.  This week he begins his journey of learning a new language here at DLI in Monterey.  He is learning Arabic, which is going to be tough, but he is incredibly smart and I have no doubt in my mind–he will do this with flying colors.  We have been enjoying being able to cook dinner together {some new recipes even} and being able to go for jogs & just explore our new city.  We will still be able to, however I think things will be busy for him.  I can’t wait for our next journey in life together.  And, on an even cheesier note…I saw this recently on Pinterest.  It is Paul Newmans words to his wife of 50 years on their wedding day.  I just wanted to share a couple lines.  It reminded me of Simeon & what an amazing journey we have been on so far & I thought these words were just lovely .  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

“Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens. A good marriage must be created. In the Art of Marriage, the little things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold hands. It is remembering to say ‘I love you’ at least once a day. It is never going to sleep angry. It is at no time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon; it should continue through all the years. It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives. It is standing together facing the world”

I almost forgot a favorite photo(s) of the week!  I am editing this wedding & getting the full blog post up on Monday, but here are 2 faves.  Love this wedding!  Colors were amazing!  Until Monday…
