Can you believe that it's Friday?? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Last Tuesday we spent the entire day in St. Louis dodging harsh, direct sunlight for Joy's portrait session. There is, however, one thing that I love about those long hours where the sun is in its full glory, indoor portraits. Somewhere unique with large windows and loads of natural light. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We found ourselves at Blueprint Coffee. Their space is just glorious & their coffee can't be beat, (Craving another iced latte as I type this!) but most of all it was filled with natural sunlight. We're talking giant windows, subway tile, natural wood tables, giant windows, and award winning baristas. Heaven. </div>

Zachary bought me this perfectly simple grey dress for my 19th birthday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It continues to be my favorite and a staple in my shrinking wardrobe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am in the process of eliminating a lot of unneeded belongings from my life, clothing being the most overwhelming. While combing the internet for ways that I could minimize my closet and clutter I came across an idea that I absolutely love, capsule wardrobes. (If you haven't heard of it, look it up! It's a grand guideline to basics that you can mix and match. Thanks Pinterest!!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Things I am currently keeping/ trying to purchase</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• grey, black, white, cream, & navy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• Stripes, solids, & heathers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• simple tops: sheer, cotton, button-ups</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• skinny knit black pants, dark denim, boyfriend jeans, black dressy shorts</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• leather clutch & large cognac bucket purse </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• leather sandles, dessert booties, black grey & brown flats</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• Solid dresses, neutrals or pastels</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• Denim shirts, dresses, shorts, skirts, underwear (kidding...!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you had to narrow it down, what would you not be able to live without??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are you a neutrals gal, or does color rule your wardrobe?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A little over two weeks ago I saw a post on Facebook that changed my life. (Really though.) It was about this mysterious mobile kitchen that was camping out around town. Two weeks ago, on St. Patricks day, Zach and I decided to check out Poplar Bluff's first food truck, Lemonade House Grill. It was AMAZING. (Honestly, if you are within a 100 mile radius, you should be eating lunch here.) We had the Gilberto Chicago Dog and the Cincinnati Coney Dog. They were unbelievably delicious, second only to the Maui Burger. The burger was so good that I didn't even have the time to take a picture with our dslr. Thankfully, Zach snapped a quick one on his phone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everything that they make is as fresh at it can get. That means when they run out, they really run out! You have to make sure you get there quick if you want to get your hands on whatever masterpiece they happen to be serving that day. We asked them just a few questions and they were kind enough to answer! </div>

Easy Squeezy Lemonade was born last summer and quickly became a popular treat for Poplar Bluffians. Transitioning to a food establishment was a natural move; the fact that it is a mobile food kitchen is appropriate for our style of menu.</span></div>

There is nothing really like FINALLy achieving the look that you have been searching for! Mastin lab presets, you are my hero. I can't wait to purchase more! This summer is going to be a memorable one for our portfolio! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, hello everything green and warm and vibrant! We are so ready for summer. So ready that we are prepping a "must do" list!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• Hike an all day trail</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• Swim at Sam A. Baker & Current River</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• Visit Lake Ocoee (Again! We love it there!)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• Run in the Color Run! (We're already on a team!)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• Read a few books, on our own time, with no pressure.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• Volunteer at a community event</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• Buy and keep some plants alive</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• Plan for our big move next year! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• Work with more small, local businesses (marketing-wise).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I realize it's a little early. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you crazy like me? What's on your summer "must do" list?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was 80˚ outside today,</div>

<br />
It is finally Spring! Thank the Lord! This is the beginning season for one of my favorite things, photography. The funny thing about photography is that one moment you can be on top of the world, priding yourself over an image that you have produced, and the next you are in a spiraling depression because you see other photographers booking things while you sit at home reading a trillion things about lighting, light room, lens comparisons, and basically anything related to your personal camera. As much as technical knowledge is important, PEOPLE and working with people is where your greatest teaching will come from. Being out there, shooting anything and everything, practicing and learning as you go. <br />
<br />
So if you, like me, are out there and you are just starting out, be encouraged. Keep learning, keep shooting, keep making art, and one day you'll be producing images that you are incredibly proud of. Photographs that show exactly who you are as a photographer. I'm still waiting for that day, but until then, I'm going to just keep making intentional work. Putting feeling and emotion into my shoots. Getting to know people and seeing their lives and hearts.<br />

A man who will pull onto an unknown, back country road, in the pouring rain because he see's an amazing place to shoot, is a man I am so excited to be married to. Your growing love for adventure and photography makes me have serious swoon moments. You're handsome, you're kind, you're courageous, you're artistic, and my personal favorite, you're mine. It's still unreal sometimes. I can remember telling you often how I couldn't believe that I was dating Zach Marion. For three years we had been friends, and for three years I admired you. Eight years of loving you, first as a friend and then as a soul mate. I'm quite sure I'll be loving you 100 more. You and our four children, two cats, one dog, two horses, flock of little chickens, 2 cows, and 1,000,000 illegally owned deer, on our farm, in a cottage, in the PNW, with our family a stones throw away. </div>

This stanza has been on repeat in my mind these last few months. After trying for so long, I'm ready for something completely new. As a frequent traveler, it is hard for me to stay in the same place for long periods of time. Let's sell everything and move. Let's start somewhere fresh. Let's go forward and shake the dust of this place off our feet and go.</div>

All I want today is to take a walk through all of the Christmas happenings in Eureka,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
drink hot chocolate with home made marshmallows from Daily Roast, and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
watch the Christmas Parade & make friends with strangers kind enough to share their blanket.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe all the snow makes me wish for a second Christmas. I'm ok with it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember to take pictures & videos, but most of all, live in the moment. Take a note of the smell of the air, the tone of kindness in someones voice, the taste of that delicious, fresh marshmallow getting stuck forever in your teeth. </div>

In the beginning of February, Zachary and I headed to Nashville to see one of my very best friends, Victoria, & her husband, our newest best friend, Grayson. Apart from being the most adorable, head over heels couples we have had the privilege of knowing, they are also two of the most creative. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Victoria's medium of choice is oil paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(And is excellent at every other artistic venture she attempts.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can remember being a senior in high school and seeing Victoria's beautiful, blush flower she painted on a huge canvas. The beautiful gradient of light to darks. The intricate brush strokes that created the petals and stamen. I've been following her work closely ever since. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are her pieces she had on display, though I don't think these photos capture anything even close to how beautiful they truly are. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Victoria, you are a true talent.</div>

It's February in Missouri, which means random ice and snow. Well, any winter in SE Missouri means random ice and snow at any winter month of your choosing. I can briefly recall those abnormally warm January days that have become an annual occurrence around here. 50˚ afternoons filled with sunshine and open windows followed by a dusting of snow that barely met the morning sun. Is this a state? Have I somehow crossed over into another detention known as.... The Twilight Zone? (Cue intro music. Duh nuh huh nuh, duh nuh nuh nuh. Bwahhhh! Bwahhhh!) </div>

What ever causes this weather situation that I can only compare to a bipolar, middle age, menopausal woman, I'm ok with you. If you need us, you can find us here in our home. Brewing <a href="http://www.brickandmortarcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Brick and Mortar Coffee</a> in our French press, cooking soup & chili, watching SNL, preparing to dive into the snow like the super cool adults that we are, and mainly just enjoying this mystery that is our home state.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Emma Watson is woman that every girl should look up to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not only is she beautiful, but she is brilliant and full of insight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In July of 2014, Emma was appointed as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. She was 24 at the time. TWENTY-FOUR. That's less than a year older than I am. It is so incredibly inspiring to see someone my own age making such changes in the way society thinks about feminism. Here you will read the transcript the speech she gave on September 20, 2014. I have highlighted some of my favorite quotes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> "Today we are launching a campaign called for HeForShe. I am reaching out to you because we need your help. We want to end gender inequality, and to do this, we need everyone involved. This is the first campaign of its kind at the UN. We want to try to mobilize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for change. And, we don’t just want to talk about it. We want to try and make sure that it’s tangible.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women six months ago. And, the more I spoke about feminism, the more I realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">For the record, feminism by definition is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of political, economic and social equality of the sexes.</span></span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I started questioning gender-based assumptions a long time ago. When I was 8, I was confused for being called bossy because I wanted to direct the plays that we would put on for our parents, but the boys were not. When at 14, I started to be sexualized by certain elements of the media. When at 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of sports teams because they didn’t want to appear muscly. When at 18, my male friends were unable to express their feelings</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I decided that I was a feminist, and this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Women are choosing not to identify as feminists. Apparently, I’m among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, and anti-men. Unattractive, even.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one? I am from Britain, and I think it is right I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decisions that will affect my life. I think it is right that socially, I am afforded the same respect as men.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But sadly, I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to see these rights. No country in the world can yet say that they achieved gender equality. These rights, I consider to be human rights, but I am one of the lucky ones.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My life is a sheer privilege because my parents didn’t love me less because I was born a daughter. My school did not limit me because I was a girl. My mentors didn't assume that I would go less far because I might give birth to a child one day. These influences were the gender equality ambassadors that made me who I am today. They may not know it, but they are the inadvertent feminists that are changing the world today. We need more of those.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And if you still hate the word, it is not the word that is important. It’s the idea and the ambition behind it, because not all women have received the same rights I have. In fact, statistically, very few have.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In 1997, Hillary Clinton made a famous speech in Beijing about women’s rights. Sadly, many of the things that she wanted to change are still true today. But what stood out for me the most was that less than thirty percent of the audience were male. How can we effect change in the world when only half of it is invited or feel welcome to participate in the conversation?</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: inherit;">Men, I would like to take this opportunity to extend your formal invitation. Gender equality is your issue, too. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Because to date, I’ve seen my father’s role as a parent being valued less by society, despite my need of his presence as a child, as much as my mother’s. I’ve seen young men suffering from mental illness, unable to ask for help for fear it would make them less of a man. In fact, in the UK, suicide is the biggest killer of men between 20 to 49, eclipsing road accidents, cancer and coronary heart disease. I’ve seen men made fragile and insecure by a distorted sense of what constitutes male success. Men don’t have the benefits of equality, either.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We don’t often talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereotypes, but I can see that they are, and that when they are free, things will change for women as a natural consequence. If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won’t feel compelled to be submissive. If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong. It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum, instead of two sets of opposing ideals.<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"> If we stop defining each other by what we are not, and start defining ourselves by who we are, we can all be freer, and this is what HeForShe is about. It’s about freedom.</span></span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I want men to take up this mantle so that their daughters, sisters, and mothers can be free from prejudice, but also so that their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human too, reclaim those parts of themselves they abandoned, and in doing so, be a more true and complete version of themselves.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You might be thinking, “Who is this Harry Potter girl, and what is she doing speaking at the UN?” And, it’s a really good question. I’ve been asking myself the same thing.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">All I know is that I care about this problem, and I want to make it better. And, having seen what I’ve seen, and given the chance, I feel it is my responsibility to say something.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: inherit;">Statesman Edmund Burke said, “All that is needed for the forces of evil to triumph is for good men and women to do nothing.”</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: inherit;">In my nervousness for this speech and in my moments of doubt, I told myself firmly, “If not me, who? If not now, when?” If you have similar doubts when opportunities are presented to you, I hope those words will be helpful. Because the reality is that if we do nothing, it will take seventy-five years, or for me to be nearly 100, before women can expect to be paid the same as men for the same work. 15.5 million girls will be married in the next 16 years as children. And at current rates, it won't be until 2086 before all rural African girls can have a secondary education.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

We are struggling for a uniting word, but the good news is, we have a uniting movement</span>. It is called HeForShe. I invite you to step forward, to be seen and to ask yourself, “If not me, who? If not now, when?”</span></em></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After a pretty drastic change of plans, Zach and I found our selves in the heart of a city we have come to love, Springfield. The few times we have visited, I have wanted to stop into this gorgeous creperie. So, naturally when Amber suggested that we should have a girls brunch there, I was thrilled.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To say that it was amazing would be an understatement. Aviary has so much to offer! We had the best waiter ever, Ryan! He made sure that our coffee cups were never less than 3/4s full, and was more than accommodating to my taking pictures of anything and everything. Our food was incredible! (I personally recommend the chicken salad croissant. And the crepe. Just wow.) But my favorite part was the style the cafe was decorated in. We don't have to talk about the birch logs, because I could literally write an entire post on them. Someone get me some birch logs, stat! I will most definitely be making many more brunch dates at this darling little gem. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">You know those homes you see online and pin because they're so dreamy? Well, somehow one of those dreamy spaces is just a few streets away in my beautiful friend Kaila's house. Kaila and her husband Tyler are two of the most incredibly kind, generous, and talented people we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. And they're stylish. Way. Stylish. We house/pet sat for them a few weeks ago and I was loving their New Years decorations! Thank you for letting me share your gorgeous space, friends! I hope to feature more of them in the future!</span></div>

Have you ever found yourself happy? I mean just truly happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pure joy radiating from your fingers and your toes? Spilling out of you like sunlight? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That has been this week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After working seven days straight, our days off coincided, the stars aligned, and other things that rarely happen and are subject to awe and wonder were also going on at the time. I am happy. Truly happy. A small cappuccino. A walk in the frigid wind when I shouldn't have worn a dress and tights, but he thinks they're pretty, so he holds me tighter as we walk from antique store to antique store. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to really live in these moments. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to soak in the feeling of being young & totally head over heels in love.</div>

Most of you have probably heard of the movie <i>Gone Girl </i>starring Ben Affleck. If you live in South East Missouri there is no way you have escaped knowing that it was filmed in our very own Cape Girardeau! We had seen "The Bar" painted on this building every time we took our frequent Cape Antique and Downtown excursions. We had no earthly idea that it would be playing a part in movie! No knowledge that the movie was being filmed at all, let alone in this town we visited so often. After the street had settled down, we decided we would stop in, have some coffee & apple pie, and try to sneak a few pictures without looking like a couple of tourists. I think we were successful! (Except for the apple pie. They were out. On National Pie Day. Sometimes life isn't fair, ya know?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They actually have a official tour you can take to see all of the filming locations, but we were on a tight schedule! Maybe next time, Cape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have yet to see the movie, but am incredibly interested in the book! I hope to pick up a copy soon so I can compare and contrast. Nerd alert! Have you seen it? Do you have a preference between the two? </div>

We live in 500 square feet of cozy home. More often than not, you can hear me tromping around the house begging the Lord for an extra 100 feet to poof into existence. Maybe then we could have more than a small couch and fit maybe a dresser or two. But hidden in our little house are a few corners that I love. The dining room is one of my favorite spaces. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Colors I want for this room:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• Olive green</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• Dark brown</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Goals for this room:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
About five years ago, I went to Zach's house and met one of his friends, one of the coolest guys ever, Shawn. I didn't know it at the time, but Shawn is a spoken word poet, and a good one at that. We got a chance to catch up just a bit and here's a little of what we talked about:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I NEED GRACE.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Q//: Okkk so for starters tell us who you are and what your passion(s) is (are)!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">A//: </span><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I'm Shawn Asbury. I'm 31 and sell shoes for a living. I love JESUS. Shoes. And all kinds of music. From christian hardcore to Taylor swift. I like making stuff. And love writing poetry and lyrics.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Q//: </span><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">What was your "aha" moment when you realized that you wanted to start writing?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">A//: </span><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is funny. So a girl I dated in high school actually got me into writing. Which is wild because she is a published writer now. In high school I was into tons of different music so I took an interest in writing lyrics because I had this grand idea I was gonna start a band.</span><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">And English classes were always one of the classes that I didn't have trouble with. So having teachers who pushed me to actually not suck at English in school helped out too.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Q//: </span><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Your stuff is pretty awesome! We love "I Need Grace"! What is the story behind the concept?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">A//: </span><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I was reading a book by Shane Claibourne called The Irresistible Revolution. In it he talks about a homeless man with a sign that just said "I need grace" or something similar. I thought that the idea of that was awesome. And how we all need grace. And Grace being JESUS. So my buddy and I actually took some random pictures in the snow around town in my hometown of Glasgow, Ky. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">So the whole concept or idea behind I need grace, is just that we had human beings are in need of something that JESUS can only provide. And though I know I have grace because of JESUS, the idea of the phrase "I need grace" is a reminder. </span><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I wrote I need grace on a piece of cardboard and used that sign in those pictures. And when we were done I put the sign in the back window of my car and it's been in the back glass of my cars since about 2007-08</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Q//: </span><span style="line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">That's a great realization. Now that phrase is a daily reminder to you, I'm sure. Where can we find your work/ mercy?</span></span></div>

It all started when we were Christmas shopping for our sweet sister-in-law Emma this December. I perused the arts & photography section at Barnes and Noble looking for the perfect book to give her. Isn't it such a hard thing shopping for books? Well, at least for other people. That delicate balance between a "just for reads book" or the daunting and intimidating "DIY" section. Also, trying not to spend a small fortune on what ever book does draw your attention. When I found the perfect book, Zachary brought me another that was well out of our budget: <u>A Kitchen in France</u> by Mimi Thorisson. I "oohed" and "ahhed" at a volume that attracted the attention of quiet shoppers who happened to be within a 100 foot radius. You can imagine my surprise when I unwrapped it Christmas Eve. I've always thought cook books were neat, but most of the recipes are incredibly unhealthy or not worth the $30 in ingredients I have to buy because they are SO not in my house already, but this book is different. Not only are the recipes simple and filled with ingredients I've never tried, (You can buy them without a Whole Foods around the corner. Thank God!) but the whole book itself is a work of art. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the first recipe I made!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(SUCESSFULLY I might add)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">INGREDIENTS //:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• 1 1/4 cups of c<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 1; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">rème fraîche</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(If you don't have any at your local grocer, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can mix 1 table spoon of buttermilk for </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
every 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• 1 shallot, thinly sliced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(These are like a garlic/onion hybrid. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can find them in the garlic section!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• A large bunch of fresh parsley, leaves removed and chopped</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• A few sprigs of fresh thyme</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• Fine sea salt & pepper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• 1 whole chicken (3 lbs)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(Giblets removed) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Substitution: I used two rock cornish hens, 1 lb each. They were $6-7 at Walmart, but I later found some for $3 at Aldi! Score! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">PREHEAT YOUR OVEN</span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> </span>//: <span style="color: red;">350˚</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In a small bow, mix together your c<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 1; text-align: center;">rème fraîche garlic, shallot, parsley & </span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">thyme. Season with sea salt to your own taste preference. (I omitted the salt.) Pour half of your mixture inside of your chicken(s). Tie the little leg bones together securely with kitchen twine (I also omitted this) Pour the remainder of cream sauce over your chickens. Sprinkle sea salt over the top. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Roast your chicken until it is golden brown, about 1 hour -1 hour 15 min. WARNING: Your house WILL smell amazing. Check your pan about half way through and add a few table spoons of water if your pan is looking a little dry. I didn't have to do this. I had more than enough cream to cover my chickens and the whole pan bottom. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Let your chicken cool for 15 minutes and enjoy!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">I'd like to post a few more recipes on here, considering it is part of my 2015 new ambitions! Cooking real meals and not my go-to baked chicken and vegetables. So I'll be documenting any success, and maybe warning against my own disastrous mishaps! </span></span></div>
