best friend photoshoot

Soooo....while I was in texas visiting miss Rebekah, we had a super duper fun photoshoot! :) Her momma is a fantastic photographer, so one day after church, we has some serious fun with the camera! Here are some of our favorites :)

this is just so us. sass and all.

 

we're just precious, we know ;)

attitude.

don't those cupcakes look yummy? yeah, I know.

this is my favorite. really tells the story of us....love love love!

and this one...well. I know it's not edited or anything, but I adore it. just so us.

so there you have it! some pictures from our photoshoot :) if you wanna see more of my texas momma's work, head on over here!


happy thursday!

my best friend is so hard to shop for. seriously.

Warning: this post contains proof that I actually act like a real 16 year old sometimes. *wink*

Okay. So this is my best friend.

This is our "OMG WE ARE GOING TO SEE PHIL WICKHAM IN AN HOUR!!!!!!!!" face.

We love to photobooth it up in the car going random places...yeah....

She's the only one I make lame faces in photos with. Really. True story.

Oh yeah. and she's also like 5'11". In case you forgot, I'm 5'2". Opposites OBVIOUSLY attract.

Oh, last year. We were so immature then. ;) bahahaha.

The only cool part about this photo is that we're sitting on a tractor. We have an obsession with the song "Big Green Tractor" by Jason Aldean - because she had an obsession with a boy...who liked that song....and yeah. I'll just leave it at that...we like John Deere tractors. SO much in fact, that we will randomly say in a valley girl voice on frequent occasions, "Tractors! Green ones, yahhh." It's a teenage girl thing, I guess...

Thisis possibly my favorite picture of her ever.....but it's only funny because Sam is sitting in the background, and looks like he's checking a chick out, when in reality, that's how sam looks all the time. He likes to dramatically look off into the distance. And then Becca looks like she's disaproving of the situation. It's just fantastic, really.

Black friday shopping last year...showing off our new lipgloss from bath and body works...we have an obsession with that too. I seriously almost have every single flavor they have ever made. Ignore the fact that we both look like chipmunks on crack, please.

But we're done with photos for now. Kay?

She's the coolest person in the WORLD. And the only one I make lame teenager faces in photos with. Seriously. You can't make me do it unless she's doing it with me.....hahaha. But I suuuuuuuuck at shopping for her....really. I mean, she loves tshirts from C28.com, but I can't get her anymore of those because she has like a freaking million and we REALLY need to work on expanding her wardrobe. That gift would not help with that endeavor, and she agrees...

So here's the deal. I realllllly need your help with ideas. Cause I'm out of ideas. She likes the colors green blue, purple, but not really pink. I'm thinking of getting her some scarves, maybe, or a really cool new wallet, cause her's is in need of retirement. I'm also thinking of getting her a new guitar strap, or making her a reallly cool one. What do you think? any other ideas? Just throw em out there, I could use all the help I can get!

And hopefully today is not the day she decides to read my blog. Hopefully......

confession time...oh dear me.

{Warning: this post may or may not take up ten minutes of your time}

So....I hope that you do not judge me by what I am about to tell you...because it is kind of sad and depressing...

I am going to see the new Twilight movie tomorrow.....

I know. What is wrong with me????

Here's the deal...my best friend LOVES the series. Like...she's not obsessed, but she loves the books and movies so much...And I don't really love it..ha...I tried to read the books, and HATED them..and I hate the fact that the movies are such a big thing, and that everybody likes/loves/worships them...but if I put all that aside, they're not that bad...and the most pathetic part, compared to most television shows and other movies, they're fairly low in inappropriate content...I mean, aside from the whole vampire werewolf thing...for example.

The Notebook. Such a good movie, right? As long as you fast forward through the first awkward scene in their future house where nothing actually happens it's just incredibly awkward...{I said that already, I know..} and then the second scene/scenes when they are both older....Nope, still not a good movie..

Lets be honest. The whole movie is centered around the immorality that the world has deemed O.K. I mean, Noah asks Allie out, they go out, date, break up a million times but then get back together after he or she kisses the other...Really? I personally believe you should date to marry - and that means you have no reason to date in high school, because who gets married in high school?? That's another post though...moving on.

Anyway.

Then she has to leave, and falls in love with another man, gets engaged...but suddenly, there's Noah again, and all those emotions come back...which leads to her being unfaithful to her fiance...ruining her relationship with him, which isn't all that bad, cause it was centered a lot around money, partially from her parents pressuring her to be involved with him for the money...lame. So many problems reside in that short-not-even-close-enough-to-a-full-description blip right there, alone!

Do you see what I mean? It's really sad when a movie placed in the forties is more immoral {for the most part} than a movie placed in the first decade of the 21st century...because you and I both know how screwed up today's world is...Yes, Bella struggles with feelings for both Edward and Jacob, but always knows she loves Edward...right? {I am no twilight expert, I could be getting this all wrong. I just watch the movies..} And they save sex for marriage - something that I can say I haven't seen done in a movie in years. Granted, I don't go to the movies all that often cause they are 45 minutes away, and I don't watch a ton of TV in general, but still.

Look at the shows on TV these days...The Secret Life of the American Teenager? Appalling. The Playboy Club? I have never even considered watching that show, but the previews tell me enough. Terrible. Bones, even, one of my favorite shows ever! Or what about MadMen? That show, I feel, though I love the idea of it, is centered around infidelity. It's terrible. Twilight definitely has it's issues, I know...but compared to other things, it probably won't be that bad...I did read a review done by a Christian site on the movie, and they said there are some inappropriate-for-the-movies scenes, but, it is a different kind of inappropriate because it's done under the blanket of marriage - I have a feeling I'll just put my head under my sweatshirt and tell them to save it for off camera time...gosh.

So I'm going...and I'm a little scared....I didn't go with her to see the other ones...but her and her older sister are "dragging" {not really} me to go with them...I'll letcha know how it goes...

Besides, if I'm going to bash something, I want to know what I'm talking about...that's logical, right? Right.

And I think I just wrote the longest post I've posted on my blog yet...well. I don't blame you if you didn't read the whole thing...
