Asheville, NC

Hello all! Yesterday I got to spend the day with my sister and her her boyfriend driving over to my old home town. We left early to so that we could go to church, drive up and see the old house, the old school, and go and visit my Mother's aunt, who is not doing well. It was so nice to all the faces of my childhood and some new ones. No matter how long it has been since I left, it is still going home to me. I love you all and yall will always have a special place in my heart.

Talk to you soon!

This Time of Year

Hello all! This time of year is always exciting for me, because I love love love Christmas. And this year I am even more excited with the fact that one of my cousins is back for the holidays from Australia, another cousin and her husband and kids is coming out here from California and one of my best friends in the whole world is coming home with her husband from England for Christmas. To top that, and yes it can be done...lol, I am pleased to announce that my cousin Amanda has just given birth to a little baby boy, Baby James 6 lbs 7 oz 19 in, this afternoon. Baby's first Christmas! Christmas is truly my favorite holiday. No matter how old I get, in my mind I revert back to the little kid who would just get soo excited by all that was going on, and would end up telling the family what they were getting from him for Christmas. (Granted I don't tell them now, but I still get excited its hard to not tell them, lol.) I am not sure if I remember this because I did it or because we have on tape, but I was about two years old and just was soo excited about Christmas that it was hard for me to sleep. I ended up down stairs with Mother and Daddy eating Cheerios watching my sister's bobble Santa under the tree. All the time tickeling myself with the tree. Christmas is my favorite time of year. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas this year.

Atlanta Weekend

Hello all! I had a fun time in Atlanta with my friends this weekend. Thank you so much Amanda for letting us invade your apt. and your life for the weekend. I was disappointed because I could not sneak my camera into the Atlanta Civic Center Sat. night for the concert. So you will have to go to Celtic Thunder's Website to see and hear what they look like and sound like. Before the concert we went to one of my new favorite Italian restaurant called Buca di Beppo. After the concet Amanda, Jeremy, Lindsey and I met up with Roy, who came down with us, and our friend Ryan who lives down there. We met up at Suno, which is one of the best desert places. This morning the others got up early to go to buy tickets and go to a football game, while I stayed back at the apt. to study and just chill. After they got back from the football game, and before we headed out, we all went to eat at this really cool Malaysian restaurant called Penang, and I ordered their Golden Fried Eggplant, without the dried shrimp on it. Well I have to head to bed now, I have a busy day in the morning with school.

Long time no Blog

Hey all! Wow it has been a long time since I blogged. I have been so busy with school and work and just being a senior. But this week I am in Atlanta with friends. My parents, this last summer gave me money for tickets to a concert for this weekend to a relitively new group called Celtic Thunder. I am so excited to share this experience with my friends. I will blog later with pictures of this weekend.

Elevate 4 2008 Workshop

Hey all! I just thought I would post a couple of photos that I took at Garrett's and Joy's Elevate 4 2008 Workshop. This is Annette, and she was gracious enough to come up from Atlanta, where she and her husband and sister-in-law run a medspa, as well as modeling and designing dresses, and model for us.

New Book

Hey all! I just starting reading Nicholas Sparks' new book "The Lucky One." It is so good, and I am glad that fall break has started and gives me a chance to start it. This week has been busy with mid-terms and Garrett and Joy's Elevate 2008 Workshop. Today we had a shoot, and tomorrow Garrett and I are going to do my senior portraits. I am looking forward to that even though I prefer to be behind the camera. Well I went out and bought another book to sit on my shelf until I finish Sparks' new book. This summer Garrett had me watch the movie P.S. I Love You (2008), and I fell in love with that movie and story. Ever since then I have been looking for that book, and every book store has been sold out. The other week I broke down and ordered it. I am so excited and I want to start that one too, but I have to wait. But, if you have not watched the movie you need to go and buy it, not just rent it, but buy it. I guarantee that you will love it.

Talk to you soon!
