Right now the smell of sweet potato pie is filling our home while the windows bring in a lovely cross breeze that just swirls around the pie scent. It's in the middle of November and it's 70 degrees outside. Not one bit of me is complaining (only hoping it doesn't mean tornadoes will be popping up in a couple of days) as I'm a fan of Spring/Summer/ ( Read more... )

Back in 1903 "they" built two twin houses for the managers of Dallas Mills, here in Huntsville, Alabama. Fast forward 100 some odd years and we are trying to bring back the restored beauty of one of the properties (our house was cheaply turned into a duplex). Luckily, we are friends with our 90 year old neighbor, Vera, that lives in the identical ( Read more... )

So while at the beach a group of us got into geocaching. I've actually been wanting to do it for a while, so it's cool to finally have started! We found our first geocache while at Seaside, and once we got back to Huntsville, we've been finding all sorts of spots! A lot of the times we go at night, which can certainly present a challenge, but some ( Read more... )

While the beach was certainly a blast, we totally missed our kitties. Who wouldn't? We came home to Sadie's sappy face and Tiny's mischievousness (and Maple's shyness).

Finally...after 4+ years, Andy and I went on a vacation! Although it started like a big party (there were 18 of us!), it eventually settled to be a relaxing trip. We left Huntsville around 4pm straight from our record store. The drive was 6ish hours, but we made it in about 5 and a half. It was a REALLY nice drive...lots of backroads, open skies, ( Read more... )

I feel like I should apologize for my lack of "real photos" on my blog, but it's just SO much easier doing everything through my phone since I usually always have it with me. I actually used to swear I would never become one of "those people" that just blogs about cell phone shots, but now I'm eating those words (and they taste great)! I'm ( Read more... )

A few weekends ago we shot a STUNNING wedding in Big Canoe, Georgia. Jaime, the bride, had told us it was a gated community, but we NEVER imagined just how fancy it would be. Nestled in the mountains about an hour north of Atlanta is a serene setting for a true Southern wedding. While I can't show the photos form the wedding just yet, I do have ( Read more... )

Andy and I made a pact this summer to "do shit" whenever possible. Last year we didn't go swimming at all...that's blasphemy! So far we've had a blast with friends going to the river(s), having BBQs, cheering/heckling at baseball games, started bands, played shows, gone to shows, and we've even made beach plans. I'm so stoked. I haven't been in ( Read more... )
