Bridal Shower and Decorations

This past weekend was my bridal shower. And although I wont be including very many shots of people I will share some pictures of the decorations. I do have to say that not all of these pictures are taken by me, some of them are taken by my future sister in law.

It was a great weekend that showed me just how blessed I am and how my friends and family love and care. I am very grateful and thankful to everyone who came.

40 MORE DAYS

40 more days until the big wedding days. More pictures to come. The wedding day and then finally the honeymoon, a much needed vacation.

Elizabethan Gardens and the Beach

This Saturday was an interesting adventure.

Spontaneous.

It was a beautiful day out so we wanted to go to the aquarium. Well, half-way towards the the aquarium we realized how ill-prepared we were. Our phones were both dying (aka GPS was becoming unavailable). It took 3 hours to get to this aquarium only to discover that…

Aquarium is closed for renovations. 

So theIMG_0864re we were, stranded in the Outerbanks with no phones, no aquarium. Only ourselves and my camera. So we explored. We found the Elizabethan Gardens near the Lost Colony theater (no shows were playing but the gardens were still open) the scenery was beautiful and we got a good walk out of it. It was interesting.

$50 later…

We had to stop at an auto-zone to buy car chargers for our phones. We had dinner on a water-front restaurant and walked on Jennettes Pier all the way to the very end. It was very windy but I loved it. I’ve always loved the ocean. Some people find it slightly depressing. No idea why. But I loved it. I could sit there and listen to the sound of those waves forever. But alas we couldn’t stay there forever. We had a wonderful adventure and lots of great memories. But in the end here is what happens when a girl and a guy have nothing but a camera and a remote.

We are dorks.

My Home Away From Home

I realize that by now you must be sick of seeing pictures of the mountains in Tennessee. I make multiple posts a year I know. But you have to understand. I never get tired of seeing these mountains. They have a certain comforting effect on me. The mountains, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Parrot Mountain, I can never wait to see these places.

 

So sorry for another mountain post. I promise I’ll have new stuff in  few months. And besides this time around I have some new faces. Future sister-in-law is a budding photographer herself, but she doesn’t particularly like being in the pictures……. oops.
