Our Favorite Southern City...So Far!

The great thing about the South is that there are a ton of great cities within a few hours from Charlotte. One of our absolute favorites is Charleston, SC. We love the history of the city, its cleanliness, its quirkiness, and the fact that the beach is right there--In fact we liked Charleston so much that we visited it twice during the spring! The first time we went for Easter and the second time we took James, Jac, and Mom with us! Enjoy the pics!

Forth of July Fun, Family, and Fireworks!

Tim and I were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to make a nice visit home over the 4th of July weekend. It was so nice to visit with our family and friends! The 4th is one of my favorite holidays and I couldn't resist taking some fun action shots of our crew! It was so nice to see everybody! Hopefully, we can make it back again soon!

Jac started the party right by opening the fireworks!

My see-sters!!! A great picture of the girls!
So there is this really fun game that we love...it is called light the explosive firework and run like heck. We all played and we got some great action shots of the game. Here are a few of my faves!!!

Keely's turn at the game!

A fun take on Keely's shot playing the game.

My Jac...she looks very athletic playing the game! Great form!
Mom got some fun hair playing the game! Les is just having fun with the game.

Kozmo the Model Dog!

Tim and I recently got to "dip our toes into the water" of what dog ownership feels like. When my friend Lauren, from the office, asked us if we would babysit her dog while she was on vacation, we couldn't resist. Kozmo was the perfect little six pounds of fun. We loved having him around--especially Tim! Tim totally spoiled him with multiple walks a day, hours of fetch, and lounging around on our couch. We hope that Kozmo comes to visit us sometime soon. In any case, in addition to being a lot of fun, Kozmo is highly photogenic! Enjoy!

Hi! I'm Kozmo!

I love cuddling next to people!

I also like to strike a pose...can't you tell I own the place!
Now its time for my headshot! Do you like my Mona Lisa smile?

Epitome of a Lap Dog :)
Like my smile! It's for real!
What do you have there???

I am ready for my nap!

And we're out....
We had so much fun with Kozmo! Check out our full gallery at the following link!

Colts in Charlotte!?!!

Nothing makes Tim and me feel more at home than our favorite football team! When my co-workers asked me about my weekend today, I cheerfully replied that we went to the Colt's game. They were very confused and I remembered that I had to tell them that we went to the Panther's Game. Overall, it was an enjoyable game...the Panther's Stadium was really cool--if you can't tell from my pictures, I love the view of the skyline. While the Colts will always be Tim and my first love, we will cheer for the Panther's this year as our NFC Team (So long as they don't meet up with the Colts in the Superbowl!) Anyway, enjoy the pictures and some of my random comments!

Woo-Hoo!!! Tie Game!

2.) If you do not like some of the photos or layouts, give me that feedback and I will change out photos. Keep in mind it is so easy for me to switch things up so do not think twice if you want to change something.

3.) Leslie: You will need to write the front flap and back flaps of your book cover. I can go through some suggestions for you. You can make it different for whoever you would like.

Order Prints From Our Wedding!

I have been doing a lot of catching up lately in terms of little projects! As you have noted, I am working on my wedding pictures! We had AWESOME photographers in Carpenter Photography and Design (http://www.carpenterpd.com/). Mel and Jeremy (a husband and wife team) were excellent in capturing all of the details and candid moments of our special day--What's more...they were SO MUCH FUN!!! If you are in the market for a photographer in the Indianapolis-area, I definately recommend them!

Being the Intellectual Property-saavy person that I am, we bought the package that includes the digital rights. In any case, I have loaded all of the images to http://www.walgreens.com/ where you can purchase prints for as little as $0.12/print. You can request to pick them up at your local Walgreen's store or you can have them mailed to you! Enjoy looking at them and feel free to order a few if you would like!

P.S. You will have to create a Walgreens Photo Center Account.

My Wedding Album Designs!

Okay...so I have found this new website that I absolutely LOVE!!! It is called MyPublisher.com and it has everything that I need in terms of design of great photobooks. (No, I am not being paid by them to endorse anything.) I am not really a scrapbooker, but I have had a great time making these...I have definately been able to be artsy and creative! The best part--The quality of the physical book product is excellent, and it is a great price! The digital designs do not do justice to how the final product turns out. Tim and I gave photobooks to our Mothers for Mother's Day. Not only did they LOVE them, but we received compliments from so many others. In any case, I have made three separate designs of my wedding via the links below. Enjoy! (P.S. Click the link above each album to view it!)

Yippee!!! Mom, James and Jac are Coming!

It is 4:04 pm. and I am barely able to concentrate. I am so very excited! I get to leave the office in 10 minutes to go to the airport to pick up my Mom, James, and Jac! I am so excited because i have not seen them since Christmas. It is really weird as I reflect on things...it feels like it has not been that long, but when i think about the period of time, it seems like it has been forever.

I really look forward to having them to visit. We will probably go to Charleston...maybe the beach...shopping...race shops.

Most of all, I am just excited to be spending time with them!
