How awesome is this?

I am very fortunate in my life to be surrounded by creative and talented people. One of my 2008 brides, Marta Rosas, is also an artist (and an amazing one at that). Back when I initially saw Marta's paintings I knew I wanted one for my house. So, after her wedding in October, Marta began working on a painting for me. After Marta completed the painting she e-mailed me to let me know that she was re-doing it because it was very important that she delivered her best work. So, after painting #2 was completed I couldn't wait to see it. Well, last night I picked up the painting that she did of Austin and I and I can't believe how awesome it is. I LOVE her style and she even threw in a pink background for me because everyone knows how much I love the color pink. I can't even explain how excited I am about this painting! I can't wait to hang it!

Spring Time

Spring time brings good and bad things, good things being baby animals and bad things being allergies. I used to count baby bunnies in the good things category until recently. My beagle (that comes from a 30 year bloodline of rabbit hunters) wants to catch all the baby bunnies. Therefore, I have started a baby bunny saving mission at my house. I know that if Lola (beagle) is gone for more than 10 minutes at a time, I have to go outside and find the latest baby bunny that she has cornered into a wood pile and save the bunny. As if I didn't have enough on my todo list as is, now I'm a bunny saver....

Here's one from this morning... this little guy could have fit in my hand...

9 down, 1 to go and I'm free for summer!!!!!!

As most of you know, I'm almost done with getting my masters degree. I have completed 9 out of the 10 courses, meaning I only have one semester/1 class to go. After some convincing from Austin I have decided not to take the last class this summer because we need some time off... It's pretty bad when you get a phone call from your mom telling you that you need to go out and spend some time with your friends and not work so much. That being said, I am officially free of schoolwork for the summer and will be taking my very last class in the Fall.

Jackie and Mike

On Saturday I went down to Newark, Delaware to shoot the wedding of Jackie and Mike for Thomas Lunt. After a week of rain, the sun finally emerged just in time for Mike and Jackies wedding and they ended up with a beautiful day. Mike and Jackie had wedding planner Erin Proud of Proud to Plan to make sure their day carried on just as they had imagined. The wedding reception was held at Clayton Hall on the campus of the University of Delaware. This day was even more special to the couple because not only was it their wedding day, but it was also their 6 year anniversary together. Jackie was all smiles throughout the entire day and she and the girls were so much fun to be around. Thomas and I had a great time shooting Jackie and Mike's wedding day and we even got a chance to hit the dance floor for a little cupid shuffle.
