Carrie and Russell

I am so excited to announce that I shot my very first wedding! It was such a wonderful experience.

I have to tell you I was quite nervous because it was on a boat! I remembered as soon as I stepped on board the Lantern Queen that the last time I was on board a boat I got seasick! But luckily that was on a small cruise ship, and this was only a river boat!

Carrie and Russel are an amazing couple. You can not reproduce such joy and happiness even if you tried. These two have been through a lot, but they have such a zest for life! They had some amazing stories to tell and I loved listening to all of them.

I think the best part of the wedding was meeting so many incredible people from all over the country and the world! A good many guests were from New Orleans, so of course I was ribbed plenty about my name. I used to really like my name....... I got to spend some time with a woman who was from Korea and her lovely husband. Then of course there were the 2 sons of the bride. They were the liveliest of them all!

So I hope you enjoy some teasers from the wedding..........

Spring Chicken

These chicks are just too cute. They are great amusement! They will scratch at the ground, pecking for any tiny morsel that may have fallen, as well as a few unlucky sugar ants who have gone in to investigate. They run around with each other, and then out of the blue one will just fall asleep where she stands. Her head will slowly lower and she'll be standing with her head on the ground fast asleep. Then 2 minutes later she's off and running. Talk about a power nap! Boy I wish I could do that. Though I would be then diagnosed with narcolepsy!

What a beautiful week we are having for Holy week/ Spring break. How many of you are on Spring break this week? How many have it off next week? Have any special plans, or day trips in mind? My children and I are just enjoying the beautiful Spring weather in our own backyard. For two days I have been attacking the weeds in my gardens, saving the gorgeous flowers that are already coming up, some already having bloomed. Also getting the raised bed vegetable garden ready to be planted. Are you planting anything this Spring?
