Photography

I just love when a photographer takes "ring shots."  The one below I attempted to take in my backyard.  I think that it turned out pretty good...not to match a professionals version though. :)

Any wedding shots that you absolutely love and suggest?

Engagement Pictures

We are having engagement pictures taken on the 16th of this month!  I can't wait to meet our photographer and see what she is going to do.  She has already mentioned a nice waterfall picture setting.  

Now on to what to wear....I am thinking about one of these...


Just have to figure out solid or pattern?  Color?  What to get Will to match in??

Anyone have any favorite engagement poses?

Giggin'....Interesting Experience

I went giggin' Saturday night.  First experience.  Didn't quite know EXACTLY what giggin' was until then.  I knew the basics but had never seen it before.  For those of you not in the South. Giggin' is when you get in a boat at night with heavy duty bright lights.  And when I say boat I'm not talking about your deluxe party barge...I'm talking a flat-bottom tipsy turvy boat. No cushions here.  

Ok moving on...once in the boat, someone drives slow while two giggers (fishermen) stand at the front and throw a javelin/pole/pitchfork into the water at fish.  See Below...
Good Job Babe!

Well for a newbie sitting in the middle wasn't so smart when Will caught/stabbed his fish and then procceded to throw it in the boat right in front of where I was sitting.  That thing started flopping around and water/blood splashed my jeans and face.  Next time I will know to close mouth/eyes and turn around when this occurs.

We had fun laughing and visiting.  We went with Will's cousins Ethan, and Jake and his wife, Megan.  

Jake and Megan

Not sure why Will is so serious in this picture...


Proof that I did in fact go...


Just when you go...make sure your generator and lights don't go out and you have to float blindly back to the place you need to dock.  Yes this did happen.  Darkness, bugs, critters, unfamiliar noises and Ashley do not mix.  

Curtis - If you are reading this....I can't wait to go with you next time :) hehehe

Till tomorrow-
