MeLissa & Matt

Married 
9.17.11

Her rings & dress were gorgeous!

Yes, she has two rings! One for work and one for everything else!

That's a whole lotta' dress!

Finishing touches.

Matt said he had waited many years for this day.
They were high school sweethearts and 
I even saw their prom pictures.
They are so perfect together!

A very Happy Couple!

They just couldn't stop smiling!

Poking a little fun at the groom...

and a little tickle for the bride!

Down at Fayette...

for a little old-fashion fun.

The veggie cups were colorful AND scrumptious!

MeLissa's beautiful bouquet!

There were so polite!

Dayna & Gabe

Married

8.27.11

Dayna's grandmother gave her the hankie and the pin to wear for
something old, something borrowed and something blue.

The pouring of the sand and "The Two shall become One."

Yippee!!!

Dayna and her bridesmaids.

Gabe and the Guys.

Gotta love Gerbera Daisies!

For better or worse...from this day forward.

Spring Salad

I am tired of winter. Tired of snow.

So in an effort to think positive, We've been preparing spring/summer type foods.

We've been cooking on the grill. Yes, it's pulled up to the patio door.

And yes, there is snow on the deck around the base of the grill,

but I don't care!

 Grilled Chicken & Feta salad

Basically, lettuce of your choice. This is red leaf lettuce.

Fresh berries of your choice or a mix as you see here.

Nuts of your choice. Cashews work well.

Topped with Feta cheese.

Newman's Own Lite Raspberry & Walnut Dressing

mini carrots for garnish

Not pictured is the grilled chicken cut into strips and placed on top of the salad.

Valentine's Day 2012

On Valentine's day, my husband called and asked me out to dinner.

I'm sure he didn't expect the answer he got.

I started sobbing hysterically.

You see, I had been sick for the last 4 days and at that point it hurt to even breathe.

He came home earlier than usual and had bought everything to make Valentine's Dinner!

Nothing extremely fancy but the best Valentine's Day Dinner I've ever had!

Jessica & Mike

Jessica and Mike are a beautiful couple!

They love the outdoors and are very active from biking to kayaking to hiking.

Being in the medical profession, they know first-hand the benefits of an active lifestyle. ;0)

Sometimes the details are in the reflection.

Jessica's dress was absolutely perfect for a beach wedding!

"Let us kiss the pretty bride!"

Giggles with Grandma and a tear or two...

Did I get all the buttons?

Brotherly love!

These three were just precious!

Here comes the bride...

Saying "I do" on the shore of Lake Superior!

The Mr. & Mrs.

A moment alone...

for a stroll along the beach.

Details...

Gorgeous cake!

And cupcakes too...

One little bite...here you go!

Dancing with her favorite guys!
