Emma and her brother have birthdays coming up as well...I tell ya, I'm caked out :)

The Last Date :)

I was at a restaurant this weekend with my husband Tim, and the booth behind us was on a First Date. Do you remember first dates? Sometimes they can be great, and sometimes NOT. This one I would classify in the NOT category from the way the conversation was going. I thought I would share a little of the conversation we overheard.

GUY: So, what do you like to read?
GIRL: I like autobiography books and poetry. How about you?
Guy: Well, I don't get to read much..but I have ALL of the STAR WARS books ever written!
GIRL: Oh.
GUY: Are you close with your family?
GIRL: I'm an only child. But yes, we're close. You?
GUY: My family is crazy! I have like 40 cousins!
GIRL: Good Lord! 40 cousins!
GUY: Yeah, and now some of them are having Kids and it's nuts!
GIRL: Kids are great!
GUY: Kids are evil!
GIRL: WHAT! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
GUY: No, who would want kids!
GIRL:
GUY: So, should I just meet you at the movies?
GIRL: yeah. Where's the restroom?
GUY: over there.

Girl goes to the restroom
Guy leaves and goes to the movies
Girl comes out and looks for guy...realizes that he left
Girl roles her eyes and leaves!

I don't miss first dates like that...do you?

A Little R & R

What are you going to do this weekend?

Every Friday, as we pack out to head home for the weekend, we all share what our plans are. Anyone going up north? Going out with friends or family? Is Andrew showing his house to anyone? Anyone going to mow the lawn and start raking the leaves? How about go on a date with that special someone?
Every once in awhile someone says "nothing". And every time someone says "Nothing" in that disappointed voice... I think...nothing sounds great!

Nothing planned means that your options are wide open! Maybe I'll go shopping! Maybe I'll finish cleaning out the basement and painting the office! Maybe I'll take the dog out for a swim! Or maybe I'll sleep late and then go out for breakfast with the hubby:) So next time you have nothing planned for a weekend...say a big THANK YOU and enjoy doing everything!

Have a great weekend everyone!

DELIGHT!

Seize the moment! Remember all those women on the Titanic who waved off the dessert cart.

MATTHEW + MARYKAY

Last weekend was Matthew and Marykay's wedding! I have to say, and Andrew is in total agreement, that you two are the most sincere, gentle, grateful and humble people that we have ever met. I feel so blessed to have been a part of your wedding day. Both of you have amazing families and friends.
I was at the reception, and the coordinator came up to me and said " Isn't this couple the nicest bride and groom you have ever met? They are so calm and collected. "

Matthew and Marykay... you have an amazing support system in place within your family. And, I know that you already know that, but because of these people, your marriage will be stronger than most. I have no doubts that you both have found your soul mate. And everyone benefits from know you. Y'all are truly an amazing team and I wish you all the best!

Here are a few images from your wedding. I hope y'all are having an amazing honeymoon in that secret place :)

Labor Day

ASHLEY + JASON
To start off this Labor Day weekend, Andrew and I got to photograph a wedding! This was such a fun wedding! Everyone was really great to work with.
It was a gorgeous day! Sunny, 80 degrees and a little breeze to keep us cool.
Here are some images from the day!
Thank you to both families for having us be a part of this special day!
