shooby do

well. maddie. it is 9:46pm on some typical tuesday night....

this has spent a year {roughly} just sitting on my computer waiting to be made in to something. anything. so this is what i did. i didn't spend too much time on it {shockingly..} the most time was spent waiting for vimeo to upload it.

but regardless. maddie, this is for you. this is only for you. any one else who watches this is just a bystander and probably will never visit here ever again.




now, i go and wrap up my second half of the best summer ever.

i had a great day today getting reacquainted with iMovie

its like seeing an old friend for the first time 

inevitably there is a lot to catch up on

we went to the beach

and i took photos

but i also took some video on iPhone

this is what i created today, this is for you:

music:

1. do you love me//guster

2. perfect games//the broken west

3. hannah//freelance whales

4. your easy lovin aint pleasin nothin//mayer hawthorn

goodbye summer

i know. its still "summer" but let me tell you, what makes summer so effortlessly summer.. is gone
{this is where maddie will say 'its still summer in georgia!!!"}

but this just means it is expected that we drink lots of hot cider and eat lots of cinnamon donuts and apples and wear slippers and scarves and really {i mean realllllly} those are all things i live for. 

i want to share some of my favorite moments i had this summer

because each summer that passes manages to be better than the last

that is all i could ask for

how did i spend my labor day?
watching the criminal minds marathon on A&E
and

on my comfy green couch with my feet up {in slippers, fyi} creating this little number:

p.s. my summer is from when maddie left for georgia {may} up until last night

and i apologize for the sideways video.. i need to update my iMovie... :(
and enjoy the 2 minutes of maddie singing to you. 
i know she will...

music:
1. daylight//matt+kim
2. stay//maddie howlett
3. this could all be yours//guster
4. follow you into the dark//elijah richardson (death cab for cutie)
time to go meet madeleine at the movies to see One Day - we make long distance look good!!! 

*update*

i had to wait to post this until i got home from the movie since it wasnt finished uploading. 

maddie. i wish i were literally with you when i saw it. because you would have remembered to bring the tissues {and the twizzlers}. thanks for making me read finish the book. literally.
i agree with maddie and say the redeeming point of the movie was jim sturgess

flashbacks. literally.

waiting for vimeo to upload and i was watching my old videos i have there. this is one of them. hello, 2010



and im sharing this with you because i miss 2006 like WOAH

homemade

iMovie and i have a love hate relationship. when i make a movie, i like to make a lot at once. i used to make them way more often, for any apparent reason. well here are the ones i haven't lost. {yes, I've lost a few.. surprised? me either} anyways. here are 4. they aren't award winning by any means. but they include my best friends and my teenage years... which... looking back, wasn't as hard as i thought it was :) 

"just for rae"

made this for just alexa {because really she appreciates my videos the most}

"wish you were a senior"

being a senior in high school is fun. and you take lots of silly videos and photos

"colton and alexa"

i think i made this before they were engaged? i actually don't remember
just like i don't remember where their actual wedding video i made is...
im not proud of my lack of backing up 

"the gang"

enough said.
