Life is better as a picnic table

Meet Katie. Katie likes ice cream.  Katie likes photography.  Katie likes to make you laugh.  Katie likes costumes.
Katie is brilliant and creative and most of all hilarious.  Over the years, she has transformed herself into many different things...including chickens, toilets, flowers, cows, picnic tables and various other costumes.  I just had to put all of these pictures of her in costume into one place and share her with all of you!

 

 She has been a cow and a chicken and a cow chicken on various occasions to promote Chick-Fil-A and get free chicken!!!  There are many more of these photos somewhere out there!

 

 Merlot Wine Box...there was also a bladder of wine inside and she filled peoples glasses all night!

 Hot Dog

 White trash

 Front End Loader, Hamper and Detergent...fave!

 Picnic Table, with dirty plates and flies..she even had fake flies in her hair!

 Toilet

 Easter Bunny

Be wed!

Adam and I finally had our chance for a wedding ceremony, or 'blessing', and celebration/farewell afterwards.  Planned at the last minute, everything was so last minute.  But it turned out to be a great time.  We had a very small gathering for a blessing of our marriage before we made our entrance into the Candler Field Museum in a '59 Corvette playing 'Love You Madly' by Cake...love that!  We also had a blast after the celebration for another mini-celebration on the parent back porch for some guitar playing and conversation with our best friends and family.  Such a wonderful day/evening!
Here are some pictures...not 'THE' pictures but photos that friends took throughout the event.  The real pics will be posted later when the lovely photographer, Katie Anderson, is finished editing.  Her website http://pinkshoephoto.com/

Check it out!

  My best friend surprised me at the wedding!  She came all the way from Portland, and the entire time I didn't think she was coming.  awesome!

 We seriously have awesome friends!

A lot of these photos are from Adam's brother, Jon's Iphone.  Thanks bro-in-law!

Hiking through fire

The fall weather is so perfect for picture-taking..  I had a good visit with two of my favorites, Alicia and Ella.  We went for a North Georgia mountain hike...in hopes of discovering something new.  Which we did!  James H. 'Sloppy' Floyd State Park...we met up with the Pinhoti trail for a while, found a marble mine, and walked through a forest on fire with color...it was amazing.  Not to mention Ella was also decked out in her fall best.

Marble Mine

Ella almost blended in with the woods

We started hiking under a canopy of yellows, oranges, reds and every few steps we would stop and look up...uuuhmazing.

Aww..family shot.  (I'm Ella's god-mother)

Sunset over the lake before heading back for some bbq, mac n cheese, biscuits n honey at Swallow at the Hollow in Roswell...a successful day back in Georgia...

Adam and a Kitty

Love this blanket.
We had a picnic in the yard. Lucy is the kitty in the picture...the curious kitty.

BLIZZZZZard 2010

When the snow has fallen, the air is calm, and the sun peeks through the trees...there is a moment of peace and awe that I cannot describe.


Well...it seems that I spoke too soon...about our snowfall that is. We had a minor snowfall that put everyone into a tizzy. THIS time...we had a blizzard that dropped 4-5 inches out of the sky and turned our freeze into soft powdery snow...please :)
Needless to say, I had a snowday. I romped around in the winter wonderland that is the nature preserve behind my house. Here are some fun snowy winter photos
BLIZZARD 2010 brrrr!


This beautiful stump was layered with snow. I loved this contrast.

Across the river and through the woods...


It sure is amazing the way Georgia Pines hold their snow!

The night the roads closed down in Georgia

Adam loves these pictures...so this post is for you.

As you can see, we had a massive blizzard in Georgia. Roads were closed, schools were cancelled, milk and eggs were sold out at all of the grocery stores.

And then it melted...
