how happyness happens.

do you ever go an extended period of time without thinking about how awesome it that you still love your husband/boyfriend/significant other and then one day you're just driving home and BAM, you look over at them and are flooded with happiness and gratitude that you God gave you the ability to just keep on loving--more and more even?

that happened to me friday.

and that made me happy.

and when marcus looked over at me with a big grateful smile on my face, it made him happy. 

and i guess that's how happyness happens.

How does it happen for you?

How NOT To Be So Awkward On Camera:

You guys...let's talk about things you should and shouldn't do when being filmed. We can all learn from our own awkwardness, right? 1. DON'T sway side to side over and over again just because you feel terribly awkward. 2. DON'T continue to stare directly into the camera with an unwavering smile as someone right next to you graciously describes and compliments you-- 3. DO interact (at least as much as possible when talking is prohibited)! 4.  DO buy that shift dress immediately and at all costs--in fact, i've got to run now...anthropologie is calling my name.... 5. and DO subscribe to Reachel's channel to discover your signature style!
