my week in pictures

baby blanket made by me, to purchase a baby blanket email me at alyssadawsonblog(at)gmail(dot)com There’s this thing I have with taking pictures of everything. I love it. And I know I take pictures of everything because my external hard drive is already full. Imagine that. I love taking pictures because I love remembering. I love being able to capture that moment and have it with me to recall the moments that I’ve experienced. It’s like serendipity all in one image. Also, is there even such thing as taking too many pictures? Okay, well maybe there… Read More

when you only have a moment, you take it

I have been sooooo busy these past few weeks and I feel like I haven’t really had a moment to just sit down and write. But, I have a moment, so lets talk. Today while driving home I snapped this picture, yeah I know *no, no, no. Isn’t it wonderful though?! Just look at those clouds and all the spaces where the light pours out.

Traditiooooooooo, tradition. This weekend was one of those weekends where almost everything we did took me back in time. When we first got married Brand and I had a thing for Cheesecake Factory. Okay, maybe a thing is saying it lightly, we were slightly obsessed. So obsessed that almost all the waiters knew who we were, as did the managers, and as did the hostesses… It was that bad. So Brand got a gift card to Cheesecake for his bday and of course we obliged and had a fun date night. We got the usual,… Read More

when your birthday is on a work day you should always have a birthday weekend

Birthday boy turned the big 2-8 last Friday. But let’s take a minute to gasp, WHAAAA? I’ve known this guy for almost SIX years?! Seems like just yesterday when I saw his muscle-y self walk up and sit next to me at Applebee’s. Or when I sat behind him at church and could see his muscles budging out of his shirt… wow, people I guess all I cared about were muscles? NOT TRUE! Haha! I’m only joking, he’s more than muscles. So, because Brand’s birthday was on a work day, *the crowd says Boooooo!* It was… Read More
