We are having a girl!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 01:57:00 +0000

I can't say I'm not a little intimidated by having a girl, frankly everything about girls scare me and I am blessed to have found someone that can put up with me and my antics. Girls are an enigma and now I have to raise one? All I know is I am in need of a shotgun, can anyone recommend one? I'm thinking one that can stop any boy in his tracks and will keep any harm away from my little girl. My little girl, that phrase makes me so excited! I think the realization that I am going to be a father and now a father of a girl is very humbling. I try to imagine what life is going to be like... how things will turn out... and who she will be when she grows up... I can only hope that I will do the best job I can possibly do. I hope with that she can become the best little girl she could possibly be.

From this moment on it's no longer all about me... it's about my little girl.

Hello wonderful!

Alison + Joe :: Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:40:00 +0000

Driving up to Khimaira Farm and seeing the wedding site for the first time we knew it was going to be a good day! Alison and Joe are two of the most nice and laid back people I have ever met. We could quickly learn their love for adventure and their wedding day was no exception. It was all about friends and family as they walked down the isle to an instrumental version of Death Cab. Then the party started! Kicking it off was their first dance to Bright Eyes - First day of my life which has to be one of the most romantic song ever written, personally it's a fav. of mine. The dancing did not stop there as all forms were brought to the table... as the night settled down people relaxed with cigars under the stars. Sticking with true Alison + Joe tents were set up on the ceremony field for the perfect end to a perfect day!
