Celebrating Him!

Last weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating my sweetheart's birthday, with him.  I am just so grateful to have the chance to spend another birthday with him again.  That makes 24 birthdays spent together, so far and it's always such fun.

Playing at the park, a walk around the lake, a fabulous dinner out, car show, another dinner out and homemade sweet potato pie!  I think he had a good birthday weekend!  Here are a few pics from the fun!

JUST BEING SILLY!  IT ALWAYS MAKES ME SMILE TO SEE HIM SMILE!
MY HEART IS FULL!

SWINGING IS SUCH FUN!  HE HASN'T DONE THIS IN YEARS! YOU'RE NEVER TO OLD TO PLAY!

ENJOYING A WALK AROUND THE LAKE.

DINNER AND DESSERT AT THE CAPITAL GRILLE!
GREAT RESTAURANT. EXCELLENT FOOD. BEST DESSERT. SUPERB SERVICE.
When we arrived, there was a card and confetti on the table for him.  Then complimentary dessert and the
waitress took our photo and then printed it and presented it to us at the end of the meal.  Whoa!

Today's Reason to Believe: You'll LOVE Being in Front of the Camera!

Instead of behind.  It gives you a greater picture than you can remember.

I've been a bit busy over the past week.  I was celebrating my husband's birthday.

What a fun week.  On Facebook, I shared photos and fun facts about him for a week.  My friend's loved it because they got to learn a bit more about him.  He loved it because he got a bit of additional attention.  I loved it because I got to share my love and appreciation for him.

However, there was an added bonus.  The day his birthday arrived, I decided I wanted to document our festivities in photos.  I got some great moments and missed a few, as well.  What I didn't expect was that I'd also end up with a few photos of myself that are now my favorites.  If I'm honest, I'd say, I've always enjoyed taking photos...being in the photo.  Photos tell a great story about you.  My current story/photo is a constant reminder of the work I did to get here.  It shows that I lost the weight and how much more I am enjoying being in the picture, trying and doing different things.  The photos you see below of me say...

• I now enJOY wearing heels
• I like wearing make up
• I will allow my arms to show
• I look good in my clothes
• I have fun going out
• I like being in the photo even more
• I can sit in a booth comfortably(I requested a booth...I once avoided booths because they were so uncomfortable).
• I enjoy working out
• I am happy!

Now for a few of the photos!

Reason to Believe: You'll love being in the photo!!!

What do your photos say about you?

Celebrate Love!

This weekend we will be celebrating the union of my girl, Lisa Renee and Patrick!  What a perfect weekend in Atlanta to celebrate love.  The weather is GORGEOUS and love is definitely in the air!

This is one of my favorite pictures from their engagement photo shoot!  It was one of those unexpected moments that the photographer caught! It shows a sense of play, humor!  Both necessary to keep the happiness going throughout your marriage.  It is great to be able to play, to laugh and to have FUN!  Never forget your sense of play.  We all so often feel like we must conduct ourselves in a certain way and we forget to simply enjoy life, enjoy the moment.  Let go!

My wish for them is BIG!  Everyone who knows me, knows that I think I am the happiest married woman, evah!  Well, my wish for them is that much happiness and so much more!  My advice is to be happy, be healthy and be creative!  Date...play...have fun!

Best wishes to Lisa Renee and Patrick!!!
