Tidbit Tuesday #120

Oh Internet, there is simply too much to SAY today! And I’m going to start off with something a little unexpected. Okay, a LOT unexpected. Yesterday, before an engagement session, I was chased by a homeless man who was indecently exposing himself. (That’s one way to say it, right?) Another chase immediately ensued by three cops who tackled him, got my official statement, and then shipped him off to jail. It was an EVENTFUL day to say the least. There was a bit more to it than that, but suffice it to say I am extremely thankful for my safety, and for REALLY fast cops! And please don’t hate me for telling you all. My dad said it might be good therapy. :)

Speaking of outlandish scenarios you never thought you’d find yourself in, who watches House?! I don’t usually watch much TV apart from my handful of shows on Thursday night, but House is quickly become a favorite. Who knew even tape worms could be hysterically funny when tackled by that amazingly witty Dr. House?

Okay, okay… I KNOW I’m basically 87 years old. But, I am a documentary addict. Thankfully, Dylan is as well! This weekend we watched both Being Elmo (the story behind the puppeteer Kevin Clash) and Holy Rollers (the story of a Christian card-counting blackjack team). Both were INCREDIBLE. And since you’ll probably never get a solid book recommendation out of me (I don’t read books…) you’d better take my documentary advice. ;)

Song of the Week: Mighty to Save by Hillsong. Of course you’ve heard it before. But that’s okay. Because it’s still my song of the week. :) The craziness of yesterday’s events have reminded me of what a mighty God we have! He is good. And He is PRESENT. And He is mighty to save. Bam! Listen to it HERE, y’all!!

Also? (I wanted to save the best for last…) MY SISTER IS ENGAGED!! Brent popped the question on Sunday afternoon on a beautiful hike in the Colorado mountains. Our whole family couldn’t be happier with the man Lorae picked to do life with. And now all the fun planning can BEGIN! I’m on Matron of Honor duty. Should be slightly more exciting than when I was an eight-year-old junior bridesmaid with bangs starting halfway back my head, buckteeth, and a completely pink lace dress that fit like a nightmare. YAY weddings!! :)

So I shot this couple last week who I wouldn’t mind being best friends with for the rest of my life. Too much? ;) Merideth and Patrick were so much fun! I can’t wait to share the rest of my faves with you tomorrow! Stay tuned…

Happy Tuesday!!

    Jessica - Fate!!! I was thinking, I have a friend who is a puppeteer whose birthday is coming up this weekend and I don’t know what to get her. Meanwhile, let me read Alyse’s blog. Oh my, Being Elmo???
    Thank you!
