Just a litte Tot

Yesterday I took pictures for sweet TOT! Shoots are always fun when your subject is excited about it too! We were able to get really creative so I think we got some really fun shots! David and I also got a new Kitty yesterday! Her name is Miley! :) She and Carson are already pals. They both slept with David last night! Things are going really well! Business is booming and I feel so blessed that God has given me this talent. I owe all my success to Him! To all my wonderful friends you have been so encouraging and I can never thank you enough. I have been able to find something I love to do!

Rehearsal Dinner Dress

Most of you who read this already know I am getting married October 4, 2008! The day before my birthday! The wedding plans are going great but I am really excited about the rehearsal dinner. I feel like it is the perfect time to let loose and really use my creative ideas. We are pretty much inviting all of our families and friends. It's going to be a time to just relax and have fun. So far what we have planned is a old fashion BBQ with a glamorous twist of coarse! This definitely means: sun dresses, cowboy boots/hats, country music, dancing under the stars, ribs, corn on the cob, ice cold punch, and pie! What is not to love? The most exciting part is picking out my dress!!! I picked out the one below, I've had my eye on it for a long time! I love it especially with the boots! The picture in the middle is how I want to decorate, but a little more toned down! Let me know some thoughts!

Sweet Summer

It's was a hot one today! To beat the heat David and I went and registered at Target (with some helpful persuading by Chelsee). It ended up being a ton of fun, and we registered for some really awesome things probably twice! We also went spy style on Chelsee and found her in non other than *COSCO* you know what I mean! Once again Chels and Ryan ended up cooking an amazing dinner and beating us in cards! :) lol ! What a fun night!

my business cards came today! this is the back view

pumped up to register

can you feel the intensity?

Why must you mock me so!? :)

David

what I have found in you:
someone who would rather sit on a porch swing than a bar stool. someone who has an appreciation for life. someone who loves other people more than their self. someone who is driven, by whatever that may be. someone who will tell me to sit down and shut up. someone who understands me. someone who loves Jesus and wont hold anything back. someone who will go on adventures with me, cook dinner with me, and play with me. someone who stands up for what he believes in. someone who has good taste in music, and compassion in his soul. and muscles. and someone who will let me have polar pops when i need them. someone brave. I love you.

Rylee Taylor

Yesterday I took pictures of little Rylee Taylor! I don't usually post business pictures in this blog but she is so cute! :) :) Her mommy Abby is a friend of mine!

Patience is a virtue...

That's it for now! Keep us in your prayers as we get closer to our wedding date and start our marital counseling.

Summer is not complete without a cookout!

Tonight David and I went over to Chelsee and Ryan's house for a cookout! We had so much fun!

This is my beautiful creation of a cake! When I was little guess what my favorite color was? PURPLE!



Beautiful Chels! She loves it!



David and his new best friend!



Chels had to give me some quick cooking tips! MMM!



The GRILL master!

Thanks Chels and Ryan, we look forward to more fun memories!!!

Maryland

We recently traveled to Maryland to visit Davids family. It was a great time of relaxing and hanging out with family. Most of the pictures I took were of little Naomi, Matt's daughter. She is so cute! She is also my flower girl in my wedding! We did a lot of fun things, we went downtown to the zoo, watched fireworks, and I learned how to crack open crabs! LOL. You will see a picture of that below!

Naomi loves juice

Crabs are Scary

I am so cute

Our Newest Project

We took on the task of making a chest for our t.v. to go in. The old dresser was a yellow color and we painted it black. We also replaced the glass with black and white fabric! Let me know what you think!
