Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less

Is the talk of rising gas prices the center of your conversations lately? Someone around me mentions it at least once a day around here. There is a petition on this site you can sign to voice your concern about the current fuel situation...I hope that my one little signature will help.

Kate and Ben | The Wedding

Gabrella Manor was the backdrop of a special time and ceremony for Kate and Ben. After 7 years as Youth Leader at her church, she is saying goodbye and moving with Ben to Denver to begin their new life together. So within a few weeks time, Kate resigned her current position, sold her house, bought a new house in CO and planned a wedding!! I can't imagine the stress! But with all that, these guys were so relaxed it was evident that each are genuinely happy and excited about their new journey ahead. Even with the early morning rain, all was perfect!

Check out their slideshow here!

Do you see what I had to put up with all day! ; )

I love this moment...such serenity, peace and security.......
This is probably one of my all time favorite cake cutting pics ever!
Their online gallery of images will be ready Friday (use Ben's last name as the access code).

Ashley and Brad | The Wedding

For Ashley and Brad's post I'm doing something abit differently. Instead of posting several random pictures from the day, I'm sharing pictures from their time together only and their awesome relaxed portraits before the ceremony. Don't forget to watch their slideshow for a sneak peak of their entire day!

I think they were excited to see each other. : )

I think this is my favorite.

Beautiful!I think Brad dressed up kinda nice, too. ; )
You can see all of their images in The Gallery and use the groom's last name as the access code.

Go Bears!

Congratulations to the Leroy High School Baseball team for their 2A State Championship victory! The Bears won the title at Paterson Field in Montgomery this week. Mr. Bruce Hansen (Stacy's Dad) snagged this picture of us while we were cheering them on. Leroy is the only school in the state to have back to back football and baseball state trophies! Go Bears!!!!!

Erin and Jonathan | The Wedding

To describe Erin and Jonathan's wedding event as amazing, incredible or even fabulous all seem to understate what a stunning day the 2 of them shared with all 800 of their closest family and friends. I am so honored to have been apart of it.

A favorite shot that Clark caught.
Another favorite. I love the colors and the antique feel to this one.
