Weekly Winners

We had a major snow event this week in Nashville, and of course I had to take lots of pictures of its cold, soft beauty. Between the snow and my Project 365, I bring you more photos than usual.

1-10 Snow
My husband is an Oregon alum, and so the day of the National Championship I not only took pictures of the snow, but I tried to get a photo for him showing off his Ducks gear to root on his team. This was the last shot I took. Totally impromptu. And it is definitely my favorite of them all.

065: Sunshine and snowfall
Used on Nashvillest this week... I actually got down in the snow to get this shot, but the cold on my knees was SO worth the results.

Fire-like Sunset
My husband noticed this sunset while I was on the phone with my Mom. I grabbed my camera, stepped out on the back porch, snapped ONE shot, and immediately it became one of my all-time favorite sunset shots.

anniversary, husband, memories

Four years ago

5 Comments

Four years ago my hair was in tight ringlets, with a tiara on top and a veil.

Four years ago I had McDonald’s for lunch, but barely touched my delicious barbecue supper.

Four years ago my cousin did my make-up, and my sister-in-law had to help me make sure my garter didn’t fall off.

Four years ago in the back of the church my dad said, “No tears.” And I replied, “No promises.”

Four years ago a soft rain fell as we stepped out of the church, and my new husband said it was his mom crying tears of joy.

Four years ago we cut the cake, posed for pictures and danced the night away.

Four years ago, my maid of honor and her future husband whisked us away in her new Explorer as confetti flew through he air.

Four years ago I married my best friend, surrounded by our friends and families in a little country church in Texas with a lot of my family’s history. It was a warm-for-January day on which memories were made of a new life together beginning.

I had always heard, “Love you more today than on the day we married.” Now, it is me saying it myself.

Happy Anniversary, honey!!!
