Goin' to the Chapel...

This weekend was a blur...but a good blur. I was in the role of Matron of Honor for my bestest friend Judith. I was very honored to be the one standing behind her as she entered into the awesome covenant of marriage with her love, Michael. The wedding was so beautiful. After purchasing my new camera two months ago, I couldn't wait to act like a "real" photographer. It was so much fun capturing little details about the day. I really was having fun acting like I knew what I was doing. Here's some of the final product...Enjoy!

THE dress!

This is the most precious picture ever!!!

The colors were brown and green with pink accents. This was her bouquet!

Judith has the most wonderfully long eyelashes and beautiful blue eyes!

Her shoes were gorgeous, but they came off as soon as she became Mrs. Nagy! Ha!

Two become one.

The coolest bridal party shot...an idea from yours truly-taken by my hubby! :0)

The beautiful cake, while bride and groom have their first dance in the background.

The bling!

And Mr. and Mrs. Nagy live happily ever after...

And I'm going to Carolina (Beach)...in my mind

Two weeks late, but I'm just getting the hang of the photo software that came with my wonderful new camera. Here is a short-but-sweet recap of our vacation to Carolina Beach. This was Zona's first time to the ocean...actually first time staying in another house with other people. We went with Mom, Dad, and Granny. Keri and her friend, Tiffany came down for a few days. We had wonderful food thanks to the combined efforts of Mom and Granny. It was quite the sight and sound to see and hear them in the kitchen together. Granny quickly reminded Mom that she doesn't let people in her kitchen. We also got a chance to catch up with some friends of the Davenports...the Cooks. More on that later. Now for the pics...

Zona was very curious about the whole sand thing. Automatically her first instinct kicked in..."I must eat it!" Quickly she realized it was not the delicious treat that she had imagined. Thus the result below.

"That sand thing is so overrated!"

Brian trying to give Zona a shower after her time at the beach.
This was Zona's vacation attitude pretty much all week. She was super well behaved though...thanks to some rolled up newspaper action.
We met the Cooks at the Riverwalk in downtown Wilmington. Before dinner, Brian and I walked around looking at all of the downtown sights. This building was begging to be photographed, so Brian let out his inner-model. We ate at Elijah's...it was a great restaurant with a huge outdoor deck. Very cool!
Then came the ultimate love test. A day of golf with Brian. My sweet, wonderful, loving husband decided to take me along. I was actually excited at first to take pictures, but it proved to be a very warm day and the first 9 took 3.5 hours. Needless to say, our round took over 5 hours. It was a very long day, but I did take some fun pics.
I actually made it up for a sunrise...which is a miracle, as I am not the best rise-and-shine early morning person. It was worth it. It was beautiful, and we got some great pictures. This was a fun picture that I took of Brian, as he was holding up the Sun!


We played a round of mini golf one night, which I won!!! Go Kelly! It was a neat course with lots of water and jungle like greenage. We were the weirdos taking pictures of everything!
I don't like taking serious picture!
Well after a great vacation, we had worn out Zona. She was literally passed out on the couch! It was a great summer vacation!

Time for a face lift!

With summer and my new camera finally here...I'm ready to begin posting again. I got out of it after the wedding updates because I didn't like the camera, but now I have an oh- so- awesome Canon...Stay tuned!!!

Pigs must be flying!

We got the pictures!!! We were so excited to look through them...I am posting a few that are my favorites! Enjoy:

Fall pictures are here!

I have been a bit frustrated waiting for pictures from my wedding...ugh...but that's a long story! I decided that we would take some fall pics and I would try my hand at editing to look like a photographer's work. I was pretty pleased with the end results....Enjoy:

Stepping into our beautiful journey...
Yay! Fall is finally here!
We love each other!
My favorite pic!
My cute little hubby!

Oops, who me?

Of course I had to squeeze in a picture of my new baby!

How embarassing!

I am ashamed to even admit that I have a blog after my lack of blogging these days...I really do enjoy doing it, but I just haven't been setting aside the time...That is all going to change now...I know how it is to want to read a new post on someone's blog! Well, here it goes...a quick catch up on the past couple weeks: we bought a new car and traded in the old Tally...I now have a Murano named Martha...I love her, therefore I named her after my favorite-though often criticized idol Martha Stewart...Martha is a beaut, Clark, a real beaut! She is silver with black interior...yummy! I love how great it is to drive without shifting! Yes, you can tell I'm getting older by saying that! The first six weeks of school are long gone and this week is my first ever parent-teacher conferences...i'm good, i'm good...where's the tylenol...One of my good friends, Toni got married on Saturday, and I had the honor of being a part of the wedding...It was the first wedding I had evern been in that I wasn't a flower girl when I was young...She was such a beautiful bride, and I know that Jeremy and she are very happy! My kids are really getting into school and are amazing me more and more each day...I have a new student from Vietnam, which is a big challenge for me right now...A language barrier is a tough challenge at such a young age...It has proven to be a great opportunity in tuning some of my teaching skills...I am so excited that fall is finally upon us...I plan to take some pics this weekend! Yay! Well, here's to another great week...Here's a school pic just to tide you over until the next post...

If you look closely, you can see that they are wearing elf ears...We were elves for E Week! So magical and fun! They loved it!

Six Weeks later...

I am alive! I didn't forget about my beloved blogging, but I have finally gotten into a somewhat normal routine. I am loving Kindergarten and the kids. I just am thankful each day that I get to work with children. Now, I am very tired and sometimes frustrated...but I love teaching! I can't imagine investing my life in any other profession. I am up late writing today, but I am going to start posting more often. I'm still wanting to take more pictures and get into taking really good pictures. Here are a few...

Blowing bubbles for B week.
Apple pies for A week

Donuts with Dad for D week!
