blog accountability

matt and i got married and officially settled in atlanta this past august. since then, we’ve painted (twice), our numerous empty frames have filled up, we’ve installed a glorious new shower-head, and our little place has become home. there is one thing left that is bothering me. we have a large blank canvas that peeks out from behind a neutral colored couch with a space on the wall above it that screams, hang something here! The key word is this is a blank canvas.

i first painted this canvas in high school. i painted over it in college and it now sits waiting to be painted again. i’ve been through many ideas since we’ve moved in: painting it solid, matt and i painting it together (haha), covering it in fabric, etc; it’s now time to actually do something. with this blog and you all as my witness, i will paint this canvas within a week! i’ve really fallen in love with hand-drawn wallpaper lately and i’m running with that idea, a subtle pattern, but hand drawn so a bit uneven, hold me accountable, you’ll see a picture of it in seven days!

moving on!

grant, lucy, matt and i were excited about how the ‘pew shots’ came out, but they weren’t easy for any of us! cars kept zooming up behind them and between every shot or two we’d have to drag the pew over and let a car by, it was nuts! Here’s a funny sequence to brighten your day:

good morning friends! -it’s a beautiful one here in atlanta! after a weekend of relaxing and rejuvenating, i am totally ready to take this week by storm. (i’ve already planned what we’re eating for dinner tonight and tomorrow and i’m about to track down all the hangers in the apartment and reorganize the closet!)

our saturday began with a late breakfast, followed quickly by a desire to get outside and enjoy the day. it was beautiful walking around buckhead; it’s no park but it’s just fascinating to see the way sunny and 65 can transform a city. people were walking everywhere and dogs were abundant, it really reminded us why we live here.

sunday matched saturday’s glorious weather and after church and brunch with friends none of us felt like going home. because we all love dogs (and none of us have one) we decided to head to the packed and crazy dog park at piedmont park. matt and i found the love of our lives (of course) in the form of molly, a spaniel-maltese mix with a little golden retriever. how perfect is she??

we spent the rest of the day enjoying the sun and just before heading home grabbed some rita’s ‘ice-custard happiness’ (yup, that’s their official byline). here are a few pics we shot while enjoying friends and sunshine:

it’s been really exciting for us to shoot engagement sessions the last five weeks in a row! getting to know our couples is top priority for us and we’ve certainly been blessed to do so much of that lately! it has been thrilling to watch our little business grow; every time we’ve received a contract from one of you we’ve done a little dance in your honor (so thank you! ;)). just last night matt and i were musing

what if this time last year we’d known this is where we’d be today? would we have believed it?

i’m not sure i would have! thank you all -clients, family, friends- for being so encouraging, loving, and understanding. our ’08 calendar is filling up fast and we have your incredible word.of.mouth advertising to thank! you all are the best!
