LIIRA MUSIC
as most of you know my man (@jamesliira) has been spending many, many late nights working on his music project- LIIRA.
he has poured blood, sweat and tears (ok maybe not tears) into this project and i stand behind him 100% as one proud wifey.
he launched his website yesterday and will be continually updating it (hello blog posts!) and his first show is THIS FRIDAY!! (at the you&her launch)
i’ve obviously heard every song, so i’m kind of biased BUT i believe that you will love it!! his first single will be available soon on itunes, as soon as it’s out, i’ll let you know.
but for now, check out his website www.liiramusic.com and buy your tickets for friday’s show!!
stay gold,

GOLD PLANTER DIY
my obsession with gold is getting a little out of control. actually, i take that back. i am 100% standing behind my love for that sparkling colour. thankfully, i have an incredible husband who fully supports my desperate urge to spray paint everything in our house.
i have a wee little diy this friday morning. it did not require any crazy prep yet had spectacular results.
supplies needed: planter pot, gold spray paint, drop cloth (see, so easy!!)
so all you gotta do it spray on the pot. yep, that’s it. one tip would be to spray evenly. i got a little too excited on the sprayer and found the paint dripping a little bit. let it dry & then plant your plant. #boom
oh gold, how i love you.
happy friday!

#YOMOROY2013
= you only marry once ryan & joy 2013
what a beautiful day saturday was. james’ sister joy married her love, ryan. joy was one of those breathtaking, absolutely radiant kind of brides. i had the privilege of doing her make-up and honestly, she didn’t need very much. the girl is stunning. and not only stunning on the outside but even more beautiful on the inside.
she married her college sweetheart, ryan. it’s incredible how good God is. ryan is just right for joy. honestly i don’t think there could be anyone better suited for her or better suited for him. they’re just meant to be.
i had so much fun celebrating the incredible couple. it was a bit of a bittersweet day because we said goodbye to them, not knowing when we’ll see them next. they flew to their honeymoon the next day then after that, will be residing in austin. we’re praying we’ll get to see them within the next year…!!
check out #yomoroy2013 on instagram for more photos from the big day!

AN ANNOUNCEMENT + A FEW PHOTOS
just got back from an incredible night at our church. we made the jump from 1 sunday night service to 2!!!! it’s all about making MORE room for MORE people to enter into God’s house. as pastor andy was making the announcement, my heart was racing, not knowing how the congregation would react but as soon as he said it, people clapped and cheered. it made my heart swell. i really love my church and it was great to know that other people really love it too. can’t wait to see what this next season unfolds…i am SO expectant that God is going to do GREAT things!!
here are a few photos from our weekend…lots of my girl, coco…. :)
how cute is she!!!???
james got this gem of a shot!

shake it out

THAT CAKE SAYING
you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
i have always hated that saying because firstly, i love cake. secondly, of course i can own a cake and then eat it, it’s my freaking cake. but then i wikipedia-ed the saying and read this "it can be used to say that one cannot or should not have or want more than one deserves or can handle, or that one cannot or should not try to have two incompatible things.”
i learned that this was a little bit true last night. i like to have a lot on my plate. i’m obsessed with multitasking. the only time i can just sit and watch a movie is when i’m in a theatre and they force me to put away my glowing phone (sorry!). if i’m at home, you can make sure i’ll be painting my nails, texting, pinning, etc…all while watching a movie. i also like to do everything with excellence…aka i’m kind of a perfectionist…
so last night, i started the re-haul of my blog. i’m planning on doing a MAJOR reno. i signed up for the hosting site & downloaded their templates and started playing around. my goodness, it was so stressful. sooo stressful. i practically bit all my nails off (my coping mechanism) and was a total wreck when james got home. i realized that in this circumstance, i couldn’t have my cake and eat it too.
i realized last night that i had a bit too much on my plate. there was no way i could enter the busiest season of my church (work + volunteering) life, finish my distance ed class, AND reno my blog. oh and don’t forget about Jesus time, marriage, family, coco + fitness.
so i’m putting the blog reno on hold for now. sorry about the plain look of everything, but it’s going to be that way till i finish the summit course and until conference is done. i will continue blogging as much as i can though!
thanks for reading!!
