Muddy Sunset on the Beach 9-28-14

We went to Calamity Beach tonight. We brought chairs out by the shore line and read for a while then walked on the beach with our pups while the sun was going down, it was a beautiful night.

Dustin decided to try to walk over some quicksand mud and it wound up sucking him in up to about his ankles, it was hilarious!!

First Love of Arkansas 6-17-14

I was driving tonight and I had to pull over to get a picture of this gorgeous view. Arkansas really does have some beautiful sunsets. The sunsets were one of the first few things that made me fall in love with Arkansas.

Picture Perfect 5-7-14

Every once in a while as your going through every day married life sweet mini fairy-tales happen.

I love our date nights that we have every month on the 7th, but this one was one of my favorite we have had in a long time. After work we drove out to the Bull Shoals city park to play sand volleyball. The park was full of trees, the sun was starting it's wind down for the day and shimmering it's golden rays through the shade of the green leaves and the sand in the ball pit was softer than the sand on any beach I've ever been to. We played for about 40 minutes. Dustin's ability to make me laugh and smile has never gone away from day one to year eight and tonight was no exception. We played until our forearms could take no more.

We played on the playground a little bit and then went and picked up our Veggie Pizza from Bush's Pizza and drove down to the lake. There we had a perfect view of the sunset as we watched it go down we shared our delish veggie pizza and laughed and talked some more.

We brought food for the fish that live at the marina. It was completely dark by the time we made it to the marina and we were not seeing the fish I was looking around in the pitch black water and then one little booger jumped out of the water, simultaneously make my skin jump off my bones. Gave Dustin a good chuckle! Well, we fed them a late night snack and of course I had to try to get pictures! I love how these turned out!

  

Then there is the ending of the date. We walked to the edge of the dock and danced to a Tim McGraw song. I wish I had a picture of that moment complete with the stars that were shining above, the glow from the moon and the ripples of the water, and him holding me in his arms but that was definitely a moment that just couldn't be ruined with trying to get a picture. Although I didn't pick up my camera, I  sure did take a memory picture and let me tell you that shot is picture perfect.

Evening on David's Trail 3-21-14

Dustin and I took the pups on an evening hike on David's Trail. We went to a spot of the trail We hadn't yet checked out. The sun was setting and it was a beautiful was to end a week and start a weekend!

Sunshine Flower 3-20-14

Spring is finally here! We had such a chilly, snowy winter for the Ozarks this year. There was points I thought I may just grow wings, become a bird and fly south for the winter. Even though I am from Colorado, I do NOT like winter. I get cold so very easily, so it's very difficult for me to stay warm and that's only one of the many things I dislike about winter time. BUT SPRING IS HERE! There is HOPE! Smiles and Sunshine, Flowers and Warm Rain, Long walks with my pups! To me, this day just wouldn't be better represented by anything else but a daffodil. They are a picture of sunshine and happiness to me! Happy Spring Everyone!

This one on top here, has been edited a bit to try and get some of the redness of the sun flares out. I just love the way the sun shine at the tip of the Daffodil though!!

These bottom two are completely
un-edited, I love the yellows!
