I follow this one blog, Design*Sponge all the time...they have like 5 + new posts everyday of different project they work on. One of my absolute favorite kind of posts they do are the before and afters. They take old nasty looking furniture and turn it into pieces of art!
Well, I was feeling a lot inspired and did a little spin off of my own. Here are some of my very own before & after shots. Using my Totally Rad Actions, I gave each photo some good love and care.

Blessed. That's all there is to it.

Mount Haleakala
Today has been a suuuuuper long day. We woke up at 1:30am this morning and headed up Mount Haleakala to watch the sunrise. It was freeeezing up on top of the mountain! We then biked 27 miles down the mountain with speeds topping 35mph. We had breakfast in Paia and made our way back to the Villa to take a much needed nap.
Needless to say, the day was extremely long, but totally worth it!

Destination Oahu ::The Wedding::
OK, so literally...I'm sitting in front of the APPLE store in freakin Oahu "stealing" their internet. But I do this only because I got some awesome blog post coming your way...I just wish I had a little more time to write about them...which I will...but I'll do that when I get back to the LBK.
So for now...I bring you the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Gray...this was such an incredible ceremony...I don't even think I can find the words to express the love these two have for one another.
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Gray!

A Perfect Proposal
I really wish I was an expert writer right now, because I don't even know where to start with these two love birds :)
One thing I do know is that its been a blast watching and hearing about their love story come together so perfectly.
So where do I start? How do I even put into words the amount of love these two have for one another? I just hope my images will show just a glimpse of how excited these two are that they found each other :)

Dear Blog,
I'm so sorry for neglecting you.
Love,
Linda
No, but really! Blog readers/followers/friends/family...let me tell you what. This month has been SO incredible. God has been working in so many different ways, it just blows my mind.
So, I've got this amazing and super hot boyfriend named Grant, which by the way I'm going to marry at some point down the line ;) But that's besides the point.
Well, Grant's got this super wonderful family. Well, Laurie, Grant's mom, met this awesome christian guy named Leffel...Needless to say he just swept Laurie off her feet. It is so refreshing seeing a man of God treat a woman with such high respect, because like my boyfriend said...he's pretty much almost a dying breed.
This past week, I brought my camera over to the apartment and got to take some super cute pictures of this lovely couple. Ahh, yes...and you know what? Laurie had NO idea that Leffel had a ring patiently awaiting to fit her little finger.
So here is PRE proposal pictures...I'll be posting the pictures of the proposal night here shortly, so check back soon!

Being a 2nd Shooter is SO much fun!
I owe all these pictures on behalf of Jennifer Bella Photography. This lady has been in my life ever since I came to Texas Tech.
A mentor for CRU, a friend, and truly someone to look up to.
Jen, thanks for such a wonderful time shooting behind you. I can't even put into words how much I learned from watching you OWN that wedding. You rocked it!
Here is a little of what I got of that day.
P.S- I'm still up in the air as far as my logo goes...so I apologize for the inconsistency on this post.
