Several years ago I had a revelation moment come to me. I was on the back of a motorcycle. We had been riding all day with good friends of ours. I was exhausted and trying not to fall asleep on the back of this motorcycle for fear that I might just fall off. We were just around the corner from our home and I was trying to hang on just a few more minutes. I don't know exactly what triggered the thought, except that for me, those rides when… Continue
My brother-in-law and his wife renewed their vows and had a baptismal service for their son all in one this past Saturday. Afterward there was a grand celebration at the restaurant/bar that the family owns - Matty's Alley. A great place for authentic Mexican food and live bands on weekend nights. They're located across from Nashville Auto Diesel College on Gallatin Pk. Check them out sometime.
I took these pictures of the boys while we were in North Carolina visiting my Grandmother. We were hanging out in our room before bed one night and I decided to get out the camera and have some fun. My boys are the hardest subjects to take pictures of because they're very busy and I guess because I've had the camera in their face so much, they're not always the most cooperative but surprisingly they played along this time and we had a lot of fun.
Beginning March 6th and going through March 22nd, David's Bridal is having their $99 sale. Now remember, insist on seeing the gowns that are on sale first. They will most likely try to get you distracted with another, more expensive gown first, after all they're in business to make money.
Also, remember to be creative and know that if a dress isn't exactly what you want it to be right off the rack, with a little creativity and your own unique touches, you can make it into something… Continue
This is the second segment of the Unwavering New Years series our pastor preached. Very good, very thought provoking. I hope it's just what you need as it was for me when I heard it. Enjoy!
I am excited to announce that I have been chosen as one of the 2010 Wedding Wire Bride's Choice Award winners! Thanks to the great reviews I received from past clients I was granted this award by Wedding Wire. To view my Wedding Wire profile click here.…
I've been wanting to share this with you and as I was sitting here finishing up something else I was reminded to do so. This is our pastor beginning the New Year's sermon series called Unwavering. This is the first of several sermons on this topic. To check out more you can visit here. There are only a couple of them there now but there will be more added. I think there was a total of four or five sermons in this… Continue

Day 10 and 11 of The Love Dare have made the biggest impact on me so far. They are all wonderful and as a whole, it is absolutely amazing but these two days just left a strong impression on me which is why I'm sharing them with you now.
Day 11 is titled Love Cherishes and begins with the scripture from Ephesians 5:28, "Husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies".
It begins by giving two scenarios for the reader to consider. It says, "A man's older car… Continue

David's Bridal is having this special through March 23rd so it won't last long but hey, every savings I can pass along, I will. There are some really cute dresses here and I love the… Continue
Day 10 of The Love Dare states that love is unconditional. It starts by reminding us of Romans 5:8 which says that "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
It says, "If someone were to ask you, 'Why do you love your wife?' or 'Why do you love your husband?' - what would you say?
Most men would mention their wife's beauty, her sense of humor, her kindness, her inner strength. They might talk about her cooking, her… Continue

I had a wonderful time at the Premier Bride Networking Meeting that was held last night in Nashville. It was held at Events @ 1418. It's a really neat little event venue that I've driven by a number of times and thought, I would love to see inside. So last night I had the chance.
I met a number of wonderful people who also work in the wedding business, vendors in the floral business, the cake business, caterers, planners, paper and stationary designers, other photographers too,… Continue

I am so excited for this post! I love seeing what's new and happening for the new season! We've taken a look at several designers and their beautiful gowns but let's take a slight turn and look at bridal gown trends for 2010.
Higher Hemlines
We've seen a lot of these on here.…
The first few I've chosen here are a bit away from the traditional gown, featuring a shorter hemline. Bethany of M&J's Bridal Blog says, " Higher hemlines have been popular for a few seasons now, but the trend has finally made its way to Bridal. This super chic look is perfect for the fashion forward bride, who isn’t into wearing a… Continue

I found something really neat that I want to share with you planners out there. This is so much fun as well as a helpful planning tool. It's www.bridalcanvas.com. Go there. Create your own Inspiration Board. Below is a board that I put together as an example. The turquoise theme, of course, is my most favorite and so I had to go with that.
Anyway, you can upload your own pictures to Bridal Canvas or they have a large gallery that you can… Continue
