Turquoise Thursday

Have you heard of Turquoise Thursdays? I follow a couple girl's blogs who do this, and they bring some serious eye candy each week!
The first is Crystal Cattle. I particularly love the jewelry and furniture pieces she finds (this week she has some very cute turqouise winter must-haves).
Anna at Life Be Delicious finds the most amazing clothing and home decor items (she's showing off some awesome jewlery this week).
As you may know, this isn't something I do regularly. But, I was just driving my boyfriend's pickup and trailer along last weekend, going to pick him and his father up from trailing heifers off the mountain to their winter home, when I came upon this:



It immediately caught my eye, and I thought of Turqouise Thursdays. Needless to say, I stopped the truck and trailer in the middle of the county road and snapped a few pictures. If we ever buy/build a portable loading chute, I'm going to be lobbying for painting it this color!





I also purchased this neckalce at American Eagle this week. I tried to find it on their website, but couldn't, so I'm not sure if it's available everywhere (maybe it's from spring or something?) or not. It has a really long chain too, and I like the little balls that break up the normal chain, and the flecks of gold mixed in with the turquoise on the leaves! I do a lot of accessory shopping at AE, and have a few other turquoise pieces I've purchased there. A big thank you to my brother, who gave me a gift card for my birthday that bought this necklace!

I'm Back

Hello hello, I have not fallen off the earth. I have been in the Big Horn Basin, celebrating my birthday and partaking in multiple fairs for the last few days.
The above photo is a mugshot for a publication that will be publishing one of my articles in the upcoming months. The key reason for posting it is that necklace, which was part of Adam's birthday present he gave me. I love it, and should have taken a wonderful close-up photo to show you all the details (maybe I'll have a chance to in the next couple days). Those are real stones, and it has a silver chain, and I love it!
He went above and beyond for my birthday, and made it very special. We made a quick trip to Yellowstone National Park one day, which was a surprise to me, and he had a vest and hat embroidered with my photography information. I am very blessed.
I also gave my grandma a ride to her brother and sister-in-laws on the way up there, and we had a great trip and got all caught up. One of my goals upon becoming self-employed again was to be able to spend more time with her, and it's been wonderful fulfilling that goal! She is 89 years old, and acts like she's about 65, and is a blast to spend time with.
Adam was super busy auctioneering county fair market sales, hog wrestling calcuttas and announcing rodeos the entire weekend, which I enjoyed tagging along for. I met a lot of people, saw some great steers, hogs and lambs and enjoyed taking rodeo pictures from the crow's nest.
I also took this week off from writing....kind of...to catch up on other projects, and am diving into those today. Hopefully I'll have time to post more pictures and updates on here too!
