<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I might be done trying to be a photographer. I can't get people to commit to shoots. I am not in love with the lighting of my photos. I don't know any great locations. I don't know how to better my editing techniques. I think its the universe telling me to do something else. I just don't know what that is. I'm to the point where I am throwing up my hands, ready to just sit on a lifeguard stand the rest of my life. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I always knew I wanted to become somebody when I grew up.

A clear horizon — nothing to worry about on your plate, only things that are <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">creative</span> and not destructive… I can’t bear quarreling, I can’t bear feelings between people — I think hatred is wasted energy, and it’s all non-productive. I’m very sensitive — a sharp word, said by a person, say, who has a temper, if they’re close for me, hurts me for days. I know we’re only human, we do go in for these various emotions, call them negative emotions, but when all these are removed and you can look forward and the road is clear ahead, and now you’re going to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">create</span> something — I think that’s as happy as I’ll ever want to be.</div>

<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">Oh, how I love pretty things! I love shopping in stores. When I see a pretty store my heart melts like butter sitting atop warm toast. Anthropologie and JCrew would have to be my top favorites. I am in love. But to tell you the truth, as of late, I am finding myself loving yet another store....Home Depot. Gotta love that bright orange goodness! The smell of fresh lumber, colorful paint chips you can have for free, and walking down isles with people covered in sawdust and paint. I love the general feeling in the store because everyone going into the store has a project that they are working on. They are fixing something, they are making it better, they are making something pretty, they are accomplishing the task at hand. I love hard working people who are just trying to make the world around them better.<br />

Good change. Life changing kind of change. I got married. Best day of my life. I married my Mr. Tollstrup. But like I said before, it has brought major change in my life. I am learning to grown up even more. I couldn't go to Disneyland with my family this year. It was so hard to see them go and I wasn't going with them. I miss Disneyland so badly. I just want to walk down Mainstreet, sit under the sparkly castle, laugh with my family, eat churros, and ride my most favorite rides in the whole world. I have made so many memories over the years with my family in that park. It's my home away from home. I can't wait to take my Mr. Tollstrup to my most favorite place and begin memories with him. Disneyland is truly a magical place. I can't wait to walk through its gate again. </div>Lizzie Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13481164586908638874noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878768453580212663.post-15957582976049916902011-07-01T22:22:00.000-07:002011-07-01T22:22:38.131-07:00Freckles & Fun<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hIC3oNqPlEY/Tg6q-4vk5NI/AAAAAAAABSI/CK6VvGL1Gdg/s1600/100_1520.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hIC3oNqPlEY/Tg6q-4vk5NI/AAAAAAAABSI/CK6VvGL1Gdg/s320/100_1520.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Somehow I have surrounded myself with redheads. My mom is a redhead. One of my best friends is a redhead. And (my favorite), my husband is a redhead. They make up 2% of the population. They are a rare breed. They are different, they stand out, and they are unique. All the qualities I love in a person! Some might remember how Charlie Brown was in love with a little redheaded girl at school. He would always be sitting on the school bench, eating his peanut butter sandwich, and wishing the little redheaded girl would come and sit with him. How cute and romantic. I think once in her life, a woman is entitled to fall madly in love with a redheaded man. And that's just what I did. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

A bookstore is one of the only pieces of physical evidence that people are still thinking. And I like how these bookstores break everything down real simply for you. Fiction and nonfiction. In other words, these people are lying, and these people are telling the truth. That's the way the world should be I think. I would say the main competition for a book is a video because for some reason people feel they need to bring home a big rectangular block of something they don't know the end of. But I must say the big advantage of a book is it's very easy to rewind. Close it and you're right back to the beginning. I could spend hours meandering through those isles of pages (and sometimes I do) and find all sorts of treasures. I love the smell of an old or new book, I love the crackle it makes when you open it and start to split the spine, and I love that reading a new book inspires me and teaches me all at the same time. Oh, how I love books! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

But to be honest, my favorite part of the movies is going to the movies. You're in the car, trying to make it on time. Maybe you'll snag good seats. Maybe it'll be a good movie. Maybe you'll love it. You don't know yet, and when you're on your way it's still possible. I love that I'm definitely doing something and haven't done it yet. That's a pure life moment. After you get a job and before you have to do it. It's the spaces between life that I love the most.</div>Lizzie Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13481164586908638874noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878768453580212663.post-83763164245203077362011-07-01T20:46:00.000-07:002011-07-01T20:58:05.265-07:00Freshly Canned<div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

I do have a kitchen, I've been in it. To me, a kitchen is just a room to hold a toaster and a microwave. That's the way I think of our little place. Bedroom. Living Room. Toaster Room. I wish I could cook these amazing dishes and beautiful meals, but quite frankly, I just don't have the time. And when I say I don't have the time, I really do have the time. I just don't have the patience to spare 45 minutes to prepare a meal and end up with an empty plate. I love good food and I really admire someone who can cook. To carefully add ingredients, time everything just right, and create a beautiful and yummy masterpiece is a work of art. But at the end of the day, I am very satisfied with my bowl of Spaghettio's. </span></div>Lizzie Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13481164586908638874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878768453580212663.post-51550572199308951612011-06-16T16:21:00.000-07:002011-06-16T16:21:29.476-07:00LIFE<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don't like something, change it. If you don't love your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV. Stop over analyzing. All emotions are beautiful when you eat, and appreciate every last bite. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things. And people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, seize them. Life is about the people you meet, the relationships you make, and the things you create with them. So go out and start creating. Life is short. Live your dream. And wear your passion. </span></div>Lizzie Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13481164586908638874noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878768453580212663.post-75852463012434510262011-06-07T23:21:00.000-07:002011-06-07T23:21:52.086-07:00Lizzie Love Photography<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">Hello <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Friends</span>!!

</div><div style="text-align: center;">My Mr. Tollstrup and I are so in love and so alike. We love, like, and enjoy so many of the same things. But he thinks in <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">numbers</span></span>.

He is left brain. I am right brain. I stumbled upon these two sayings while surfing the internet. They explain almost exactly how we work and operate. So different but still one soul. I love my Mr. Tollstrup. </div>Lizzie Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13481164586908638874noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878768453580212663.post-75571209446646718942011-03-02T02:05:00.001-08:002011-03-02T02:08:44.542-08:00Stuck With Me<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a231a; font-family: Courier, monospace; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Ya know sometimes I compare myself to others. No wait, I always compare myself to others. And I always put myself down in the process. I know that by doing this I become vain and bitter (and i hate that). There will always be a prettier girl than me. There will always be someone who is more creative than I am. There will always be someone who has accomplished more than me. Basically, I need to suck it up. Instead of thinking about what I am missing, or how ugly I am, I need to think about what I do have and what I am blessed with. There is a couple who live in Provo, Utah who are both returning from a nearly fatal plane crash. The wife,(Stephanie Nielson) burned 80% of her body. Her husband,(Christian Nielson) was burned as well, but not as severely. Stephanie looks like a completely different person. She compares herself to Sally on 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' and needless to say, she looks very much like her. It is so inspiring to read about this woman and her husband on their blog. They struggle everyday but they look for the positive in everything. She is beautiful. She truly is a beautiful woman. She may look like a stitched up doll to the world, but to her husband, she is the most beautiful thing in this world. He loves her for her. Not her face. He loves her for her spirit. She may not look like Audrey Hepburn or Natalie Portman, but she is beautiful because of her spirit and her faith. And most importantly, her husband is in love with her for being her. Her posts are very inspiring to me. She has taught me that we are not our bodies. We are our spirits. I am learning to ignore my body's many faults, and focusing on making my spirit beautiful. I need to be the best me that there is. I need to love me. I might not be very beautiful or the most talented, but I am me. No one is the entire world can be a better me than me. </span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a231a; font-family: Courier, monospace; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

So inhale........and go! So before I get to the big stuff, I'll start with the sweet little tid bits first; This last week I have been seeing heart shapes everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE! From the bubbles in my sink, the burned splotches on my french fries, the cracks in the sidewalk, and even a heart shape in my bowl of cheerios. It was a week full of love! Now on to the big stuff. A new chapter in my book of life has opened. Two days before my birthday (which was over 18 minutes ago) my Mr. Tollstrup of almost 2 years proposed to me! It was a total surprise and I had no idea it was coming so soon! (although I couldn't be more overjoyed) My heart is still pitter pattering. The love of my life wants to spend the rest of his life with me! I could never ask for anything more. Needless to say, I can't sleep much because my mind is jumbled on everything wedding! Love really is better than anything. I am going to start a new blog along with this one to write the next chapters in my and my Mr. Tollstrup's life. I will have all the delicious details about our proposal story on it, along with engagement pictures, wedding pictures, etc. Stay tuned! Lots of love fellow bloggers! </div>Lizzie Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13481164586908638874noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878768453580212663.post-20235877819806942832011-02-15T00:13:00.000-08:002011-02-15T00:13:48.105-08:00You, Always<div style="text-align: center;">This has been an amazing day. My Mr. Tollstrup gave me a beautiful bouquet of fresh roses wrapped up in a red velvet ribbon. (I can never be uncheered by flowers I've decided.) He then proceeded to make me dinner and he even hand dipped chocolate covered strawberries. I love him. Plain and simple. I love him. Sometimes I think that we are so fairytale it could make people sick. He just gives me the feeling that people write novels about. I honestly don't know what I thought about before I met him. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Love is better than other stuff, really.</span> Happy Valentine's day friends!</div>Lizzie Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13481164586908638874noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878768453580212663.post-21360833718584459362011-01-31T03:12:00.000-08:002011-01-31T03:12:50.179-08:00Cupids & Hearts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QjIKr1igD00/TUaZAKZ5GPI/AAAAAAAABPg/rwW_pV69ti8/s1600/il_fullxfull.205315180.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QjIKr1igD00/TUaZAKZ5GPI/AAAAAAAABPg/rwW_pV69ti8/s320/il_fullxfull.205315180.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia, 'bookman old style', 'palatino linotype', 'book antiqua', palatino, 'trebuchet ms', helvetica, garamond, sans-serif, arial, verdana, 'avante garde', 'century gothic', 'comic sans ms', times, 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Valentines Day is coming up! The holiday filled with flowers, chocolates, sparkly hearts, and stuffed bears. I never really cared for V-day growing up. I never shared it with someone special. It was just another day of going to school and seeing the popular girls getting bouquets of roses stuffed into their lockers. But now that I have found my other half...well...it's my turn to be wooed. My man was living in Africa last year, but this year I get him all to myself. I don't understand how he does it, but somehow </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia, 'bookman old style', 'palatino linotype', 'book antiqua', palatino, 'trebuchet ms', helvetica, garamond, sans-serif, arial, verdana, 'avante garde', 'century gothic', 'comic sans ms', times, 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">he </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia, 'bookman old style', 'palatino linotype', 'book antiqua', palatino, 'trebuchet ms', helvetica, garamond, sans-serif, arial, verdana, 'avante garde', 'century gothic', 'comic sans ms', times, 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">makes my eyes sparkle, my heart beat just a little faster, and my lips to pucker.

So here comes the downpour.... This time in my life is tough. I am trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. I am trying to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">create </span>myself. I know that people often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">creates</span>. Everyone tells me to model, and quite frankly I don't want to model for a living. The industry is wonderful and I love it a great deal, but it is also chalk full of stupid little stick figures with poufy lips, who think only of themselves (thank you Edna). It is a very materialistic world. I don't want to be surrounded by that. I want to be around people who love who they are, who don't need people to tell them how pretty they are to value their own self worth. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: georgia, 'bookman old style', 'palatino linotype', 'book antiqua', palatino, 'trebuchet ms', helvetica, garamond, sans-serif, arial, verdana, 'avante garde', 'century gothic', 'comic sans ms', times, 'times new roman', serif;">The value of identity is that so often with it comes <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">purpose</span>. I want to have a purpose in my life. I come to the conclusion that t</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: georgia, 'bookman old style', 'palatino linotype', 'book antiqua', palatino, 'trebuchet ms', helvetica, garamond, sans-serif, arial, verdana, 'avante garde', 'century gothic', 'comic sans ms', times, 'times new roman', serif;">rying to define yourself is like trying to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">bite your own teeth</span>. I think at times our Heavenly Father hides things from us by putting them right in front of us. Sometimes I feel like I can reach out and touch what I want to be, and where I want to be going, but then there are times I sit and stare in a stupor, trying to rethink my whole perception of my life. I have a good idea where I want to be, unfortunately, I haven't hit the jackpot yet. I haven't heard the clattering of the gold coins rushing out of the slots of my heart yet. I haven't jumped up and down in joy yet. When I graduated from high school a friend of mine gave me a brown metal bird and attached to it was a light blue ribbon with a tag saying "it's your time to fly". That little gift holds dear to me and I will always treasure it. Unfortunately, it seems to me that I haven't found my wings yet. I know <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I will find my wings</span>.

We would always giggle to ourselves when we watched him paint. He had a very patient and calming demeanor. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Each painting would start with simple strokes that appeared to be nothing more than colored smudges. As he added more and more strokes, the blotches transformed into intricate landscapes. I will have great memories of watching him paint because it was precious time spent with my mom, and precious time appreciating art and how it can influence your life. </span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers. But when I get home, the only thing I have power over, is the garbage.</span><br />
