Oh to Pic....

Day 17: Favorite Picture of Yourself and Why

Ok, so bear with me on this post.  My favorite pictures I have ever had taken of me are from my engagement shoot.  I still remember very vividly how nervous I was.  Nervous that I wouldn't look pretty.  Nervous my hair wouldn't work right.  Nervous I would have zits on my face.  Nervous the trees wouldn't be colorful enough.  Nervous it would be raining.  Nervous I would have weird smiles.  Nervous my outfit wouldn't look cute.  Nervous our personalities wouldn't show up in the pictures.  Just plain nervous about almost ANYTHING that there was to be nervous about.

I have loved engagement pictures my whole life.  I love looking at them, whether it is someone I know or some random person.  I just think they are so darn special.  It is at an adorable exciting time in your life and you are so much in love with your fiance and that always shows in the pictures.  Plus you will have those professionally done pictures for the rest of your lives to display in your homes to remember how good you used to look before you had kids... :)...

What if after all that, I didn't like my own engagement pictures?!?!

Well,  The Lord blessed me yet again.  I absolutely positively adore my engagement pictures!  Our photographer, Emily Rodgers (whom I would totally tell everyone to look up and hire if she wasn't retired), was amazing and captured us perfectly.  I love the colors she enhanced and the ideas she brought to the table.  I was so relieved to get the pictures and to love every one of them.

Sooooo, all that being said.  My engagement pictureS are my favorite pictures of myself.  All of them.  I couldn't choose.  Lucky you gets to see them all.....

And there you have it Folks! My favorite pictures...

Tennesseans Again!

   Well folks, its official- Wil and I have moved!  The past two weeks we have been packing and cleaning and unpacking and cleaning some more, but after a lot of hard work and some amazing help from our families we are officially Tennesseans again!  And man oh man is Chattanooga a BEAutiful city!  We have been happily surprised with the beautiful landscape and fun things to do here, but can tell you hands down that our favorite thing so far is the Enterprise South Nature Park.  At only 10 minutes away from our new house, its super convenient for us to walk Denver puppy.  The park has 2,800 acres of wooded trails for walking/running/hiking/biking and even has future plans for horse trails.   We are blown away at how well the park was done and love that Chattanooga has something like this to offer.  Hopefully everyone that lives here knows about and takes advantage of this free family-friendly park.
