June 29, 2010

Today, tomorrow, and always you are love and wished the best the future brings. ~Best Wishes Saying~

Mackenzie just turned 16 and graduated school so she wanted some pictures to remember this special time in her life.

she also told me she wasn’t photogenic and i would have my work cut out for me… of course she was totally photogenic and i had so much fun talking to her and taking pictures :)

thanks so much for letting me take these special pictures.

well a lot has certainly changed since the last time i blogged!

on may 8th matt & i got married! the wedding was wonderful, the weather was lovely everything was just amazing. we went to St. Thomas for our honeymoon and it was beautiful and we had a wonderful time, but there is truly no place like home!

arriving at the airport. neither one of us had ever flown before, needless to say my nerves were about to get the best of me. DSC_7535 so matt calmly waited while i did anything but sit still! ha-ha

August 4, 2009

I’m sorry I haven’t blogged this week, but Rosebud our puppy survived a rather tragic event in her young life the other week she was run over by a golf cart. But she is good now and back to her normal self and chewing things up and some of the things she has been chewing up is the cord to the computer that I use to download my pictures to! So we are having to get another cord hopefully we will have it soon! If not I will just have to use our other computer that doesn’t have my Photoshop on it! Yep I got photoshop for my b-day, wait you guys probably didn’t know that I even had a b-day considering I didn’t blog about it! Well I downloaded the pictures to photoshop and i’m trying to figure it out and I come home yesterday to find that Cecily left the computer where  Rosebud could get to the cord and she chewed it apart…  I did ask Bobbie to come take pictures of my Birthday party, so i will post some of them when I get them :)

I promise this is no “the dog ate my homework “excuse! Seriously the dog ate the computer cord!!

I have not had much to photograph lately, so Monday out of desperation I went and had a little photo shoot with Mom’s flowers & Cecily’s many kittens, would you like a kitten? She is selling them :)

Last night I was going to take some pictures of the flowers over at “our house” (by our house I mean Mine and the boy’s house) they are so pretty and yellow.  Well not so smart little me let my camera battery die so it wouldn’t take any pictures!   I just got around to putting it on the charger, all of this is to say that I downloaded some pictures and found some that I had forgot about! Don’t you just love when that happens? I do, it’s like finding a dollar in your old pants pocket! So here is a few of them I hope you enjoy them!

I debated about uploading this picture but I love it… sorry if it offends anyone.

Well that is all… better than nothing right???? I thought so :)

 

 

Warning: there are a lot of pictures in this post so grab you a tall glass of lemonade and enjoy them :)

While I was going through these pictures of Cecily the song “Cinderella ” by Steven Curtis Chapman is playing in my mind and I feel like it is  fitting.

She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I’m sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders

 Hello blog world! I hope you are having a wonderful sunny day today! :)
After my awesome class that I mentioned in my last post I headed to the beach with my Sweetie and my future in-laws! Man was I excited to go be lazy… And lazy I was; sleeping late, laying on the beach all day. It was the life and I lived it up for a week!  Just a warning: if you do not have a base tan DO NOT, and I mean DO NOT use tanning bed lotion with intensifier in it! I rubbed it all over Matt (my fiance) and he boiled like a lobster. Red. I don’t think he was very happy with me! (Matt, I’m really, really sorry! I promise to never rub any suntan lotion on you ever again.) I feel much better now that I have apologized to him on here. Why didn’t you tell me dear blog, that it would help my guilt if I let you apologize for me?

 

But back to the good parts of the vacation. We were at Surfside Beach for 5 days, and then it was on to Georgetown for 1 night where we toured the little town there and hit up the local Antique Mall, where I got a glass vase I  have been wanting for the small price of $7! You heard me correctly! Usually those things are $40-$50. I was extra excited!!!

 

Ok, I’m sure you don’t really want to hear all this rambling that I’m doing! So then after Georgetown we went to Charleston. If you have never been I seriously suggest going! We stayed at the Indigo Inn, which I recommend. Charleston has so many neat things to take pictures of! If I had only had the lens that I learned about in my class. Oh I fear I would have never left. We took a carriage ride, toured Fort Sumter and visted the market. I wish the market was within walking distance to where I live…my checking account is very glad it isn’t near though.
 

 

Perhaps you are thinking: Just get to the pictures already. If so, shame on you for not wanting to read all my ramblings!

 

With no further ado, here they are:
