day 4 & 5 | #blogtober14

playing a bit of catch up from the weekend here because my internet was not working at home over the weekend!   day 4 | favorite photo you posted on instagram   this is a hard one! I post a lot on instagram & I actually have three different accounts. I have a personal account that is mine | kristinleighh I have one that is my horses & that business | kristin_posner and I have my photography business | inspiregracephotography I have this weird thing about trying to keep them all separate a bit.
they all have different photos on them & they all have some favorite photos in their own unique way.       day 5 | fall bucket list   hmm I hadn't really thought about this one at all really. this time of year is my favorite & I just put a new pumpkin spice wax melt in to my wax melt in my room! I really don't have a bucket list for this time of year but I really do try to just spend as much time as I can taking it all in & really enjoying this time of year.  

weekending...

I am so sad that the weekend is over...especially now that I am really sick and am at work.
it's the worst for sure.
this weekend was fabulous though... I hope everyone else's was as well. however... bad blogger here... I don't have photos from Friday night but I do have photos from Saturday night which was the more important night to have photos from. Friday night consisted of dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant & the brewery with my best friend & a few friends.   Saturday night consisted of Oktoberfest & a couple awesome bands & good beer :)    

this is a band called thumper & the plaid rabbits. they are a local band that has been around forever but they are really good!

and here is the fixx. they were awesome!         it was a really good weekend with friends. we had a lot of fun & made a lot of memories. these kinda weekends are my favorite!     happy monday!

hmm so it is tuesday...

not only is it Tuesday... it is September! YAY fall!!!
granted it doesn't feel like fall but my brain is screaming fall & I had a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks the other day because I couldn't help myself!

this whole having a long weekend & then a horse show this weekend is throwing me off completely! hoping I am not the only one really excited about all of this! gosh was the weekend long but in some ways not long enough. Sunday & Monday felt like a blur... I was so exhausted Sunday from the wedding on Saturday & was sick pretty much all of yesterday.
  anyway... a few photos from the weekend... I will have more as the week goes on since we have the horse show...  

 the pretty ladies from the wedding on Saturday.  

Limb is looking good for the show this week!

day 8... words...

day 8 | words

 

words are very powerful. they can make or break someone in seconds.

I am not the best with words.

writing is not my strong suit & I am dyslexic, which is why I blog.

it actually helps me to get my words right & to make it a bit better.

words in the strongest form for me are in lyrics.

song lyrics are very powerful as well.

I connect with those the most as I used to sing growing up through the first part of college.

always choose your words wisely.

you never know who you can hurt with them.

 



the thankful project day 1 | a person

kenzie over at chasing happy is doing something called the thankful project this month!

I thought this was a really cool idea & decided to join in.

so here we go...

 

today is day one | a person

 

I would have to say I am thankful for a lot of people in my life but my best friend Jess is who I want to write about today.

she has been there through a lot with me over my entire life & is always the person I can talk to.

she has been there for me countless times & every time it makes me more & more thankful to have her as a friend.

even though she does not live close right now & I am ready for her to come home, I am proud she is chasing her dreams.

she graduated from culinary school at CIA Napa Valley this year & is now working down in Florida at Disney for the next year & a half.

as much as I want her home so I can spend time with her, her traveling has made our friendship stronger! 

 

 



weekend shenanigans...

 what a weekend!! it was a great one & I have photos!!! 

here we go....

here I am at the dance studio, halloween party! I have been ballroom dancing for 7 years now!  

Louis Van Amstel from Dancing With The Stars was in for coaching & I got to watch him teach & photograph it!

here I am with Louis, he is super nice! it was really cool to get to watch him teach & dance in person!

 

saturday morning was frosty & kinda cold! it was very pretty & your typical fall morning in kentucky! it did warm up pretty quickly.

I don't usually jump horses anymore since I have had knee surgery, but we have a client whose horse just loves to jump so I try to take her out for some fun about twice a month! it was a gorgeous morning for it!

saturday night I went to one of my favorite bars. some guys I went to college with own it. its a small microbrewery. I went out by myself to go see a good friend who bartends there. 

I was able to get on & walk my girl on sunday morning. hoping that she gets better soon!

 

mom & I went to go see the titanic artifact gallery. it was really cool. I wasn't able to take photos while in there but if you ever get the chance to go & see it I suggest you do.

ended my sunday hanging out with this girl in the grass in the afternoon. :)

 

 

five on friday!

after a long & not so great week, I am so ready for the weekend!

 

1. not so great week. this will be remedied by an awesome weekend let's hope!

 

2. dance studio is having their Halloween party so I am totally going tonight! I haven't really done anything Halloween related since college. I am totally doing this costume again with the exception of the pink tutu because I have no idea where it has gone... & I really didn't have many other choices.

 

3. looking forward to not really having anything I have to do or anywhere I have to be, just the usual.

 

4. there is a Titanic artifact exhibit in town & I think mom & I may go. I love things like this about history.

 

5. going to attempt to photograph this weekend. it is killing me that I have had so much going on otherwise. hmmm let's hope that this happens.

 

 

 



five on friday.

goodness. it has been a long week. so thankful for friday!

one.

sick. I am over being sick. I am starting to feel better but this is ridiculous.

two.

cleaning. that seems to be my Saturday. well this happens to be because it has officially turned to fall in Kentucky. which also means that my closet still has summer clothes in it. so this weekend is the weekend to change them out & put winter clothes in. sweaters are my favorite!

speaking of sweaters I went to aerie last night and found these two cute things:

the sweater is super comfortable & I got the shirt in blue & it is really soft!

three.

UK basketball. need I say more? tonight is midnight madness here in the bluegrass.

I am not going this year but will certainly be watching it on tv.

four.

a weekend of nothing. it is nice to not really have anything to HAVE to do or anywhere I HAVE to be. things have been pretty non-stop for a while now so I am going to enjoy this weekend.

five.

editing. I do have some photo editing to do this weekend from the show last weekend. hopefully I can get that all knocked out & maybe go shoot some fall photos just for fun this weekend :)

have a wonderful weekend!



five on friday.

well. we made it to st louis in one piece which is why I haven't posted but here we go!

1. in st louis for championships & we are having a great time. 

alexa and Cody here with the pumpkins. 

Reagan and I in the indoor arena. 

Ella pretending she's riding Reagan. 

2. I am extremely sick. that is the downside to this trip right now. I was okay Wednesday on the drive down and it went downhill from there. 

3. fall is wonderful. it's beautiful here. great weather and wonderful fall decorations. 

4. my mom has a championship class this morning around 10:30 so wish us luck! 

5. alexa turns 14 today so we are having a little barn party and going to outback for dinner. it should be a wonderful day!! 

have a wonderful weekend. I will have more photos to share! 

a happy list.

I read a blog post from Dara & Rachel today that inspired me to write a blog about things that make me happy.

I really like the idea of this especially so when I am having a bad day I can look back at it & really be thankful for some things. we are all guilty of this every now and then.

happy list:

road trips
fall
candles
fresh sheets
camera
pumpkins

dreams
clean house & car
my dog
surprises
pink
date nights with tate
cards & letters
photos

love
flowers
painted nails
sweaters
leggings
moccasins

I am sure I will add on to this as time goes on, but these are the things that come to mind first.

october.

happy october!!!
