Mike & Steph finally see what it is all about!

Last week my good friends Mike and Steph came to New England to visit!  Dave and I were so happy to show our friends just what we love about living here!  We had a great time!  Here are some of the Saturday highlights...

Fall is the best time to be in New England for many reasons... the number one being the hot apple fritters of course!

The bees ruined a perfectly good picture spot... I am glad Dave made it out alive!

Steph and I have always been friends so it is really nice that our husbands found things to talk about too...

I don't get it...

Neither of us girls wanted to have our pictures taken (we are used to being behind the lens) so Mike was a good sport to let Dave repeatedly take his picture...

Poor Steph got sick... poor Mike got kissed...

There is really no explanation for this pic other than, Dave took it without our knowledge...

Yes its true, Waterfire does = Happy... crazy traffic on the way there, however, does not!

Come back again soon guys!  There is still more to see!

Jenny's Wedding

I have been blessed all my life.  I have been blessed with loving parents, who always encouraged me to go for my dreams (no matter how far away my dreams take me).  I have been blessed with a brother who makes me laugh and a sister who is my best friend.  I have been blessed to find a husband who can put up with me =), and whom I love more and more every day.  I even have in-laws that are a blessing to me.   I could list my blessings all day and still have more to write down.  So, rather than attempt to finish a never ending list, I am going to focus on the blessing that is my sister.

Mindy, I think, embodies the phrase "heart of gold".  She is kind through and through.  I live every day hoping that some day I can be more like her.  She is my sister and my friend.  It makes me sad when I hear of sisters not getting along.  It is something I can not imagine.  I love her so much, and I count her as one of my greatest blessings.

Recently my good friend and former college roommate Jenny flew me out to photograph her wedding.  I asked my sister, Mindy, if she would be the 2nd photographer.  Not only does Mindy have a great eye for detail she sees people as they really are and manages to capture that in her images.  She was such a great help to me all day.  She kept me calm when things were shaky and made me feel like I could handle anything because she was there.  

Thank you Mindy.  I love you!
