Today I am grateful for:
1. This picture.
Because for real, people - that is funny. And how could it not just make you a little happier today?
2. Talented and generous friends. My friend, Kyle, has been working on developing his newfound photography talent, and I just loooove his style. He has a focus on nature and the sort of details that I, too, am drawn to in photographs. The growth he has exhibited in the last year seriously blows me away. Right now he is building up his portrait portfolio so he can have something to show potential clients, so he offered to take Josh and my pictures for free this weekend for us to possibly use as engagement pictures. UM, HELLO, YES, AND THANK YOU, OF COURSE I WOULD LOVE TO BE SUBJECT TO YOUR AWESOME TALENT.
I say "possibly" because one of my BFFs, Michael, already agreed to take our engagement pictures and will be doing so next weekend. As you may or may not know, Michael has a BFA in Photography from BYU, has had several projects with national exposure, and is currently working to move to NYC to pursue his dream of fashion photography. He is fabulous. (Or, as he and I might say privately, he is fagnificent!) (Michael, am I in trouble for writing that on the internets?) So now we get TWO photo sessions with TWO talented photographers with TWO different styles.
I ADORE THEM BOTH.
And really, you should too. Just sayin'.
Oh, and because we're discussing Michael's genius skills, I just have to insert my claim to fame, courtesy of him, right here. For his final project he did this amazing murder series, and I got to model for it. Here is my shot:
What, you don't see me? I'm the grandma legs!
I know, I was really flattered when he asked me to model for that role.
I have to say, though, that in other photos I tried to add a certain something to the role by contorting my legs all funkily (and impressively I might add), but apparently it was "too much." Oh, the woe of us models being limited in our creative expressions.

I cant wait to see how Michaels pictures turn out for you guys. I bet they will be great.
I love you a lot. I'd totally be Grandma Legs even if my husband says I have cheerleader legs.
I don't.
Thanks for the thankfulness. It makes me happy today.
oh my freaking crack up. That pic of baby's first WTF moment, had me laughing SO freaking hard I thought I might pee. kudos to you. And awesome that you are the granny legs. I didn't know that. I do LUH_HUV michael's work. BIG ones. I am going to go check out kyle's right now! Good luck with your pics, can't wait to see them!
those are some mighty fine legs! your parents should be so proud of your modeling career!
Love those grandma legs! Lucky girl - two talented photographers, and two photo sessions!
Wow, I'm flattered =) Thanks! I'm looking forward to this weekend, too.
I admit, I did have to do a double-take when you said you modeled for that picture. My computer screen didn't show the whole image, so all I saw was the murderer until I scrolled down further. Then I saw the legs and it all came clear. Oh, and I love that they aren't just 'the legs,' but they're 'the grandma legs.'
P.S. - My other website that I'm setting up can be found here:

love it all. The baby was the tip of the iceberg though, so funny. Kiddo's are sleeping so I only hope my laughing didn't wake them, that was dang funny. and yes, love the grandma legs as you put it. If its your claim, then cling to it babe, you'll get more later I'm sure.
I love you, Heather Mattice.
That's all. :)
