A Wedding Continued . . .

Here are a few more pictures of the cutely (which is the marriage of two words, cute and newly) married couple I got to take pictures of.

This is one Kimbrey expertly photoshopped. Isn't it enchanting?

This one is moments after they exited the Temple. Do they look happy or what?

And just a cute shot of a cute couple.

The beautiful cake and the cutting of the beautiful cake . . .

Now that a few days have gone by and the stress is gone, it was kind of fun to do. And it inspired me to finally upgrade my camera. Because that's what Dave wants for Father's Day. For me to get a new camera. Really. He told me so himself. What a great guy, huh?

A Wedding . . .

When my friend Danny asked me to take pictures at his son's wedding, it was the closest I have ever come to saying no to something. But I just couldn't do it ~ say no, I mean. So, after making it clear that I was NOT charging for the photography, but "You get what you pay for!" And after he told me that I only needed to take six pictures, and if ONE of them looked good I was fine, I consented to be their wedding photographer. Considering that I don't have the right equipment, the right knowledge, and the pictures were going to be taken at 11:30 AM when the sun is at it's worst AND I would be photographing a girl in a white dress standing next to a white Temple, I was really, really, really nervous.

But now that it's over, it was kind of fun, and some of the pictures turned out not too bad. After having gone through only one of four memory cards, here are a few of my favorite so far . . .


Whew!! I don't think I ever want to do that again.

These Fergalicious Shoes

Last fall when Marie-Laure, our French guest was staying with us, she and I went shopping in Grand Junction. They were having one of their BOGO sales at Famous Footwear and I convinced Marie-Laure that if she would let me buy her some shoes, I could get some for half price. Great reasoning on my part, don't you think? So cute, hip, stylish, 19 year old Marie Laure picked out these shoes . . . Fergalicious brand ~ and although I knew a little about Fergie the rap singer, but only because Marie-Laure was living with us, I had no idea these shoes were hers, too. So, I started looking around the store for some shoes for ME! Now, shopping with Marie Laure always went something like this. Me, "Marie-Laure, look at this. Isn't this cute?" Marie-Laure, ( with a French accent) "Pfff, is for old person." Me, "How can it be for an old person? We we are in the juniors section of the store." Marie-Laure, shrugging, "If you waannt!" And that would be my cue to put whatever I thought was cute back and walk away. Looking for shoes was no different, so when Marie-Laure suggested I just get another pair of the same shoes she picked out so we could have matching shoes, I followed her suggestion. That was last fall, and since then I have become just a little bit obsessed with these shoes!! They are cute, comfortable, cool, you don't have to bend over to tie them, and every day when I'm getting dressed I look in my closet at my millions of pairs of shoes and inevitably I pull these out and wear them. They have become by far my most favorite pair of shoes. Ever. So today when I slipped them on my feet yet once again and realized they were starting to . . . . wear out ~ YIKES!!! I jumped on line to try and find another pair JUST LIKE THEM. I didn't find another pair in my size :( but I did find a review several people had written about my shoes, so I read the reviews just to see if these people loved my shoes as much as I do. One of those reviews went like this: "I really love these shoes, although my husband says I am too old to wear them (I am 27)" . . . . Wow! If she only knew.
