Three Years
Three years ago I married my best friend and the love of my life. Marco, I am so lucky to have you as my husband and partner. We fit together in every way and I fall more in love with you every day we are together.
Happy Third Anniversary!

Dog Swim
At the end of every season, just before they are going to drain the community pool, all of the neighborhood dogs are invited to have a two hour pool party. How could we not go?!
It was an official event requiring registration and proof of a rabies vaccination. There was even someone always manning the entrance gate to ensure that no dogs escaped.
All of the dogs were allowed in the pool, but they mostly ran around together through the surrounding lawn. (You can spot the occasional floating lab in the video.) We plopped Hops into the shallow end of the pool a few times. He loves swimming but it was a little busy with all of the big dogs diving into the water.
At one point, there had to have been about 50 dogs there. Since we don’t live near an official dog park, this was the first time Hops has been around more than three or four other dogs at once. He had a blast and was very popular with the humans.
It was a perfect fall afternoon spent with our community, watching kids and dogs play together in the warm sun on the last day before the final symbol of summer is closed for the season.
Wore my new shoes for some good luck at our zoning board review for our upcoming remodel.

First Haircut
Hops gets a haircut. The summer heat was getting to be a little too much for our mop of a dog, so we took him to get his first trim.

One of my fall weddings was featured today on the beautiful wedding blog, 100 Layer Cake. I’m so proud to be there with so many other amazing wedding photographers and vendors!

No Photos.
I didn’t take a single photo at our BBQ yesterday, opps. I always seem to forget to capture what happens at our own parties. I need to remember just to take a break and grab my camera. Although I can’t even manage to remember where I put my drink.
We’ll just have to have a lot more parties until I get the hang of it.
Faux Tilt Shift
I’m playing around with fake tilt-shift for a photo or two for this wedding. Which made me investigate tilt-shift lenses. Now I really want to rent one sometime this summer.
Me & My Dad
Dad, thank you for this past year with all your help around our house and being the handy helpful father I needed to teach me about spackle, grout, gardening, and everything else.
Happy Father’s Day Dad!
♥ your little girl.
Happy Birthday Marco!
Happy Birthday to the love of my life and best friend, Marco!
Here are two photos of Marco doing the things he loves: drinking good beer, talking about the internet and roasting coffee.
I love you honey! Happy 29th!
Eggs
A mommy robin decided to build her nest on my Dad’s farm equipment. Now he can’t use it until they hatch and move out. He’s sweet like that.
