a fitting tribute

Love this!

lol

if only my sick day allotment wasn't just chopped in half...

It’s been awhile, sorry!

Over the weekend I finished the Save-the-Dates for the family members coming to St. Simons and slaved over the wedding website. Somewhere in there we went to Bed, Bath and Beyond three separate times (don’t ask), did some spring cleaning and hung up most of the new drapes I bought at Pottery Barn.
I’ll post pics of the STDs once everyone’s gotten theirs in the mail. Plus, I just want to say…
Congratulations to my cousins Charlie and Kris who welcomed the newest member of the family, Emma June on Sunday!

when you enter a contest...

be prepared to win...

Holy crap, I won a contest for a free Boudoir Photo session which now just seems ridonculous!

The point of the contest/session is to "Celebrate Yourself" and help a new photographer pad her portfolio.

I'm loving that it's free, but I'm not sure there's enough alcohol to make me feel comfortable!

What do you think? Should I do it!?

Note: I would rock a Bumpit for Brigitte Bardot hair.

Lafawnda made it to 142,000 miles as we pulled into the work parking lot today.

from A Cup of JO:
This photo essay is heartbreaking but beautiful: "Katie Kirkpatrick, 21, held off cancer to celebrate the happiest day of her life. Breathing was difficult now; she had to use oxygen. The pain in her back was so intense it broke through the morphine. Her organs were shutting down but it would not stop her from marrying Nick Godwin, 23, who had been in love with Katie since 11th grade. Five days later, Katie died." -- Photographer Romain Blanquart.

Such a sad yet inspiring story.
