Purchased our first kayaks May 28, 2019. A new beginning of fun in the water.
Our first trip out was to the landing at Belvoir. We took the dogs with us to try to see how they liked it. In less than 30 minutes Jim had turned over 3 times. Some help with Pink our dog. We decided maybe our first test should be without the dogs so we took them home. We had so much fun kayaking and chilling in the river.
Next trip was in Whitaker's. We had awesome company. Around 20 were kayaking and we had a blast!
Rainy weekends slowed us down for a while but finally we were able to get in the river on July 4, 2019. We drifted from the Ol Sparta landing to the Bevoir landing.
Well....I don't know if I'm a blogger but what the heck! I'm going to give it a try.
So what to talk about today? Surviving the cold weather! lol To a certain extent, I like the cold weather
it makes hard work a little easier since you aren't sweating to death.
I was working on a client’s pictures this weekend and I must say it was so heart felt. Not only are the pictures beautiful but the love that was shared and open for all to see was outstanding. I literally cried looking at the pictures and the love two families and friends shared that day. Dana and Kensil your life is truly blessed together.
Crawfish Shack Fear Fest 10-28-2017
So much fun on our photoshoot this past weekend. Started on our way to the Crawfish Shack to shoot their annual Fear Fest and made it about ½ mile down the road when the truck started only going about 25 miles an hour max so we turned around and went back home. Got home truck started acting fine so we started out once more. We made it to the big bridge around Edenton when we had a blow out on the trailer. We limped down the road until we could pull over. No jack so we rigged up something and finally got the tire changed and on the road again we went. Made it to almost Hertford when we had another blow out! Pulled into a church yard and looked at each other wondering what to do since now we have no spare. The preacher of the church came out and we told him what was going on and he was so nice and said everything was fine and do what we had to do. Oh! by the way let me tell you how I was dressed. We were going to a Halloween event. I had pink hair and a Halloween shirt on, not something you want to have on in the church yard! I explained to the preacher where we were going so he wouldn’t think we were freaks. He laughed and said everything was fine. We called our friend, Teresa, and she came and picked Jim up and took him to go buy a tire. We changed the tire and on the road again we go. We finally made it to the shack with plenty of time. Good thing we left early! Lol
Now let me tell you about the Fear Fest at the Crawfish Shack. It is a very cool event with lots of scary things! I am not a scary person at Halloween events but let me tell you there were a few things that made me a little scary. People showing up from nowhere, walking behind you. Clowns that looked like they would eat you. Scarecrows staring at me with bad looking faces. Nurses working on mutilated bodies. My helper, Brooke was running from these scary creatures. They definitely, scared her to death. Shrew! I didn’t know if I would make it. But I survived to tell the story. Oh, and you could also dance with the witches. If you didn’t go to this event you better make it next year because it is a blast!
Another beautiful wedding that we were so blessed to be a part of. Twenty-two people in the wedding party and they were all so beautiful! Words can not express the love between these two. Also the love between the whole bridal party was amazing! The preacher was also the preacher for Dana's parents wedding. How cool is that!
I was there when her dad saw her for the first time in her dress. I think it is the first time I have ever seen Danny Hardy speechless! The love and admiration in his eyes at that moment could only be described by the best poet. For a moment I thought everyone would have to have their makeup redone. Too much love in that little room. Well there is never too much love but I thought the walls would explode trying to hold all the love in that room for the moment.
The bride arrived on horseback with her Dad. Can we say WOW! The look on the groom was priceless as she walked down the grassy isle. I love these two people so much. I have known Dana and her parents for a long time and was so blessed to do their wedding. The wedding was just like a fairytail.
Words can't express the love I saw between bride, groom, parents and friends. The weather was beautiful as if it had been ordered.
Looking forward to the next chapter for these two because I see so much fun and love in the future.
Enjoy your honey moon!
