Dear Friends,  Instead of a post today wearing something really put together and awesome I thought I would continue with the get-to-know me theme of the week and show you what I really dress like on an ordinary day.  Nope, its not super stylish, or pinterest worthy...but it is me.  Dear Husband, this week you confessed to being terrified of dolphins.  Upon seeing a swim with the dolphins commercial our conversation went like this: Me-"Swimming with dolphins would be fun"  You-"No freaking way. I would never do that!" Me-"Why not?"  You-"They are gigantic effing fish!  I am not swimming with a gigantic fish!  Heck. No."   LOL. Dear Bella,  Yesterday I took you out to potty and you peed and then rolled in it.  I repeat. You rolled in your own pee. You get weirder and weirder.  Dear Color Run San Francisco, I am so excited about doing this fun 5k with my husband and spending a little more time just enjoying being in San Francisco.  I bet it might be our last time seeing the Golden Gate Bridge for quite awhile.  Dear Styled Bridal Shoot, I cannot even wait until next Tuesday.  It is going to be amazing. AMAZING! Dear First Family Photo Shoot Ever, I think you went pretty well and I got some great shots.  Check a few out here: facebook.com/ashleyslaterphotography Dear Husband, Thanks for wrapping my sprained ankle up for two days in a row now.  Hoping tomorrow I can put in those 7 miles and that Saturday our 3.1 won't hurt too bad!
Dear Friends, You guys have done amazing commenting on other Friday's Letters linkers.  Let's all be sure to comment and visit at least five other blogs this week again!  Y'all rock!

Over & Out,
A

  8. You're my hero... running with a sprained ankle? I can barely take a walk and my ankles are in tact. And I don't believe it when you say you're not photogenic... because in these pictures you totally are. Have a great weekend!

    How exciting to do a styled bridal shoot. I bet that's going to be the neatest thing ever and you'll rock it! I've done family shoots and they always make me so nervous!

    Hope you rest up that ankle!

  29. HAHAH the dolphins!! okay this is like Kurt and those 5 million leg bugs. I do this at least once every 2 weeks...so what i do is kurt will be standing there and in my "holy crap" voice, i say omg kurt dont move (as if a bug is on him) and he goes APE CRAP and whips his shirt off an jumps around thinking a bug is on him. I literally die laughing every time. I am horrible. but cannot get enough of it hahaha

    and im siding with jmans..dolphins are a little scary to me too hahah i picture their nose just belting into my body over and over because i mistakenly call it flipper or something. But i agree with you in that i would love to try and swim with them!

    psshhh bella i roll around in my pee too...i gotcha girl ;-) kidding but yeah whats with dogs? also after you give dogs baths and they roll around in grass hahah

    love the family shoot pics! gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous :-)

    happy weekend! im off to find fab girls from this linkup :)
    xoxoxo

  30. I'm doing the color run in 15 days... i repeat...my first ever 5k in 15 days.. I want to die now.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Haha, your dog is weird! That is too funny. Dolphins are freaky so I can't blame him.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love the family portraits on your FB page! Perfect! And I love your husband's reaction to swimming with dolphins, too funny :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think Bella needs a treat for rolling in her pee ....

    ;)

  34. One of our dogs LOVES to roll in anything smelly. Luckily the other hates that kind of stuff. ;)

  37. I am absolutely in love with your anchor necklace! You look good even if you don't "dress up"!
    That's too funny your hubs is afraid of dolphins. I think they are so cute, but I'm not sure how comfortable I would be swimming with them.. haha!
    I wish you lived closer so you could take our family photos! :D
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Your "everyday" outfit is awesome! Way cooler than MY "everyday" outfits. :) Totally worthy of an outfit post. Happy Friday!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Love your outfit! Don't you just laugh at how dogs seem to surprise you with their corky personalities

  40. I am signing up for the color run in Houston on Sunday - cannot wait!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I found your blog through someone else's Friday's Letters. Have fun at the color run. I'll be there too this weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I seriously laughed out loud at your dolphin conversation. We just got back from Sea World (Orlando) and I got to feed the dolphins for the first time. It just made me want to swim with them even more! :)

    And have fun with the Color Run! I'm trying to build up my endurance to run when the Color Run comes to Orlando, but I've never ran a full mile before. Luckily I have until December! :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Awww love your letters!! The swimming with dolphins & Bella rolling her own pee cracks me up, hah! I am doing The Color Run in Charlotte in November! I am excited & nervous! Husband wanted to do it too, but there is a chance he may go to OH sometime that month (to hunt!) so we didn't want to waste the $! So he will be there supporting me, if he is in town :) :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love your casual style!!! It's awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  45. GREAT job on your family session! I love those candid moments! Your photography is beautiful! <3

    ReplyDelete
  46. Oh, I missed Friday Letters this week but plan to be back this week.

    Hope your ankle did okay on the run. You are a brave soul to run on it. :o)

    I don't think I would swim with the dolphins either.

    By the way, I see the Kelly Moore bag ad on your sidebar. Did I tell you that our daughter went to Louisiana Tech with her and they were friends. My daughter loves her camera bag and I'm thinking it might make a nice Christmas present.

    Happy week!
