Photo Booth Fun!
October 6th, 2011. Published under Events. 1 Comment.
On September 23, we went to Atlanta and had a great time at a Photobooth event put on by Three Pennies photography. The weather was perfect, the company was wonderful and we had an amazing time.
I would consider hiring them for any special event you want to remember well.

Happy Valentine’s Day
February 14th, 2011. Published under Events. No Comments.
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent His only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. – 1 John 4:9
Wes and I have some couple-y traditions, but Valentine’s Day is not really one of them for us. But I think it is a great opportunity to share with Ruby about unconditional love – God’s love for us, and in return, our love for others. Have a lovely day, everyone!
Embracing Thirty-Three
January 27th, 2011. Published under Events. No Comments.
I am more than a little proud of myself. Instead of dreading my birthday like I did the past two years, I’ve decided to just go with it. A few things have happened recently that helped me to realize that I AM GETTING OLDER and I can fight it, or figure it out.
Weird Things/Surprises About Being An Adult
- Jersey Shore and other MTV shows bother me. I used to watch all of them.
- I have an “investments guy.” Because someday I’m going to be (gasp) old.
- I saw a recent headline “Justin Beiber tweets at the little girl who was nominated for an Oscar for True Grit.” This is news, really?
- I love being a stay-at-home mom. I never, never thought this would be me–but it really is a perfect fit.
- There is a scene in the movie “Date Night” where the mom says her fantasy is to be alone in a air conditioned, quiet hotel room with a diet Sprite. I totally get it.
- I miss being bored and lazy Saturdays.
- My favorite material possession is a robot vacuum.
- The most fun thing at Christmas really WAS the gift giving. For real.
- I think that most current R&B sounds the same and I long for the hits of my youth, like Bobby Brown and Janet.
- I miss driving my truck but I am glad we still own it.
- The amount of “multi-vitamins” I take each day. Why can’t they just put it all in one?
Things I Need to Work On (STILL)
- Being secure in who I am and accept that I can’t be best pals with everyone I want to invest in.
- Being disciplined about bedtime and waking (it’s been since I was a teen, so I’ve not progressed here much).
- Asking for help when I need it.
- Keeping up the house/laundry.
- LOTS MORE!!!!!!
It’s time to celebrate, not make a list of all my flaws, right?
Good Things About My Life
- I’m more often able to recognize when to be okay with an unresolved relationship and know that I did what I could to repair it.
- I like my taste in clothes, home decor, music, etc. very much. And I’m less worried if others will think it’s “uncool.”
- My student loan is gone, both cars are paid for, we are working toward the house now.
- I am a MOM and a WIFE! Thank you Lord for these gifts.
- I can better prioritize our family and commitments.
- Working out at the gym 3 – 4 times a week.
- Times when I actually pray alone and spend time in the Word.
There is more I can add to this list. Growing older with Wes, starting a family, everything is full of ups, downs and surprises. But man, am I enjoying the ride!
Zoo Trip – 1/1/11
January 2nd, 2011. Published under Events. 1 Comment.
We made our way to the zoo in 70 degree weather exactly one week after snow fell and stuck at our house. Gotta love the South! We had a great time together and I wanted to share a few (70, haha) snapshots of our day. Ruby loves two things the most, animals and being outside, so this is the perfect place for her.
The new year is off to a fun start. Enjoy!
Sketches of Frank Gehry this week at the Imperial Theatre
July 24th, 2006. Published under Events. 1 Comment.
I’ve been looking forward to seeing this movie since I saw the trailer on apple.com/trailers a few months ago. The interview Charlie Rose did with director Sydney Pollack (Google Video Link) made me even more interested in seeing it. I love getting a glimpse into the creative process of artists… and architecture in general has always fascinated me.
I was sure I’d have to wait until DVD to see it though since the theatres in Augusta will put Little Man on two screens before they’ll give us any real diversity to choose from.
Luckily, the Imperial Theatre is doing a great job bringing independent film to Augusta. Sketches of Frank Gehry will be playing this Wednesday – Friday (July 26-28). Tickets for all of the films at the Imperial are VERY resonably priced from $4-6.
