photos and choices, personal

we had our engagement photos taken last night. It was sticky nasty hot outside but hey, what can ya do. Our photos were taken by Julie Eastwood (Curtis' cuz and my close friend) so Kristin Partin Photography got to be a part of the session. My most asked question about the wedding is 'soooo.....who's going to do YOUR pictures?' well, I'm happy to announce that sam stroud {a fab, well-known photo pro in lynchburg} will be walking with us on june 28. he's funny, has good lookin' kids and helped me out when I first started taking photos.

more engagement photos coming soon, but for now...here's my very favorite. Thanks to Julie for snappin away in the hot hot heat and also to Jessica Simpson of Blackbird Salon for hair & makeup.

coke & diet coke, personal

you know that part when you're right in the middle of it, tears & all...nothing is sadder? nothing makes things better and irony only contributes. You're at the bottom and you can't win for losing. You can't see anything, especially the ultimate plan.

well, when you're on the other side..nothing is sweeter, more beautiful and is infinitely far better than where you were before.

I am blessed with a sweet down-to-earth fiance', a new genuinely sarcastic family, and a support team big enough to wipe out an entire army of idiots. we are planning a sweet southern tuesday wedding in june and I couldn't be happier to start my life with him. He is the ice to my diet coke and I'm the ice to his coke. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, folks.


the wedding kicks.








the wedding blooms.

there ya go.
