mr. p


so we have a new neighbor
he's been over two or three nights this week to say hi
i must say he has a bit of an attitude
but we made the best of it

Lauren snapped this the first night he came over
the only thing missing is the sound of him shaking his feathers

1928


they can really swing

the world

i think it's safe to say we all learned a new dance move this weekend
and gained a new appreciation for lemon squares

gator tale

with the help of one of the locals
we were able to wrastle ourselves a gator



Disneyworks

one of the things i wanted to do while we were in florida
was take a picture of the fireworks at the magic kingdom
i had the whole scene set up in my mind
looking up at the castle with falling fireworks overhead in the background

so we are driving to orlando one night with a generic
magic kingdom address typed into our gps
when we had the genius idea of calling chris stephens
he had some friends who he said were disney nerds
and supposedly knew just where to take us to see these disneyworks
so we get to an uber-nice neighborhood
sneak back around a house (whose owner they knew)
and found ourselves on their boat dock
over looking a lake
it was beautiful and perfect
until the first firework went off and it was about 20 miles away
not what i had in mind
but it turned out to be one of those situations
where you wouldn't have planned it that way
but it turned out better than you could have planned
how many people get to watch the disneyworks from a private boat dock
with a live mariachi band playing in the background
yeah, the fireworks were a little far away
but the moment was so peaceful and unique
so the pictures aren't what i had in mind
but i love them for the memory





swine

i thought it very fitting
that while we were in florida



we came upon this cute little creature
he was the guard pig at an air boat ride place
down by the river

this weekend we witnessed some friends get married
reminded us of the day we got married
what a feeling that was standing there
waiting for my bride to walk out
there aren't many moments in your life
when you are more the focus of so many people's attention
and so many things are racing through your brain
i'd do it all over just experience that moment again
