Blue Christmas

Pickles & Chapsticks. Need I say more? This is what my brother got me for Christmas this year. Thanks Blue!

"Foot Loose" & Fancy Best Friends

The day before the best day of fall I have been able to capture in a while, one of my closest friends, Andrea, got married on November 1, 2008. I was lucky enough to be a part of it, along with 5 other great friends/sister (Crandall, Lauren, Emily, Kendall and Brook). I had SUCH a good time during the whole planning and the actual day. It is so nice to be a part of a wedding where you can really tell and feel that the couple is in love and meant for each other. I've never seen Andrea happier or more beautiful than she was on that day! Thanks for letting me be a part of this day with you, Andrea. You did a great job planning; I know you worked very hard on it. Def' props. Here are a few pictures of the event. I am planning on posting about the night before, but I am waiting on my brother to "find some cord"...so more to come.

Sunday Cruising Ozark Falling Bluegrass

After a very long, tiring, somewhat fuzzy and oh-so-much fun weekend; we went out for a drive on Sunday to catch the fall colors before they disappear. I dont think the weekend could have had better weather! Everything seemed to be almost neon; did anyone else think that? Here are a few snaps that I took and a link to some others if you are interested. I dont think the pictures do the view much justice, but for those of you that dont live here anymore, these are for you. Andrea's wedding was this weekend, so I'll be posting some of those pictures soon. My feet still hurt from Saturday, but all worth it b/c we had such a blast.

Ode to: Skyline Sunsets & "the crane"

Happy Halloween Eve!

I had always wanted to live up on Mount Sequoyah for as long as I could remember. In July of 2007 Jay and I finally got the opportunity to rent a house that not only was on the top of the Mountain, but faced the west! However, 1 year was about how long it lasted. As with all great things you want, there are always the negatives, which are not worth mentioning for all purposes of this sentimental post. The deck was where we spent most of our time and I even kind of grew fond of the big crane because when I would look at the pictures in the future, I knew where I was and it made it part of our story.

This time of year makes me miss it a little more than usual.

Here is my ode to 111 Skyline Sunsets and the infamous Crane:

Friendly Remodels

Hello friends and other people. So I did it. I jumped on the blogspot bandwagon. I guess since Andrea and Emily had my "blank blog" on thier blog list, I best put at least something on it. Well, as you may, or may not know, Jay and I just bought a house over on the west side of Fayetteville. We've been there for about 2.5 months now and did a little remodeling. Here is a link to a short video for some before and afters. Enjoi!
