Canton

-
There is a place in Texas that everyone talks about. A place where women and men can walk around all day long and shop outdoors at booths of hand made decor, furniture, paintings etc. It is Canton! My good friend Christin's mom has a booth out there of amazing crosses...she gave me some to give to each of my bride's maids and they are beautiful. I can't ever decide which one i want! In all the 9 years of my living out here i have never been. Christin keeps telling my have to go i would love it. I just had no clue.

Friday i became a new lady. I have been to canton. I have seen and i have loved and i am willing to go back! My friend Sherry and Meg took me. There were some things that i saw that i am actually going to make! I was like i am not spending $30 for that but i can do it for $10!

I found a booth that i fell in love with. This family has beautiful pictures and original art work with scripture on it. I found a piece that has inspired a nursery for me to decorate. I always wanted whiney the pooh and he will be inthis but i saw this and fell in love! The artist has several other original pieces that i will be saving to purchase in the future!
Pictures below are some things i liked and thought about getting..will save up money and see if they are still there the next month...it was fun! I am glad we went and i am excited to see what they have in the future.

Engagment pictures

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics

week not planned

This past week was something i didn't plan or ever hope for. Last thursday during staff retreat i started cramping in the abdominal area...pretty abnormally...went to the er ...andrew left school and got there right when i was being admitted at 10ish...spent all afternoon testing prodding and found something on my ovary...it was burst and i was internally bleeding...so at 8:30 i was in the surgery room having it removed laposcopicly...is that how you spell it? ;) by midnight andrew and i were checking out, heading home. Spent the weekend recovering which was weird in itself cause no one tells you about all the quirky things that happens to your body with all those meds and stuff. The worst one was the constipation that came from it. one word people "stoolsofteners'' ( i know its not one word its a partial quote from a movie) man oh man...if you have had surgery and your surrounding family made you eat and drink things that were nasty to help you recover and you by pas
