Not quite Kelly Clarkson ...

but still CUTE!

I know I've asked before....

Looking for a change.... yes or no? (cut, not color)

* Edited to add... anyone else think I kind of resemble Kelly Clarkson from that picture?

The Wedding

My friend W got married this past weekend and I got to play bridesmaid for the first time. The wedding was held at Brookside Gardens which was GORGEOUS... I'm taking T there next weekend to take pictures. The ceremony was in Mandarin, Cantonese and English so that was interesting as was the pastor who said women should be submissive and make her man some meat. After the ceremony I walked around while the bride and groom got their pictures taken and got to bond with one of the two photographers... that was nice. I may go as a second shooter with one of them just for fun.

The reception was at Mrs. K's Tollhouse-- a really quaint place with gorgeous gardens and good food. I had to change after the photo walk because I was drenched in sweat (gross!) so I ended up wearing the same dress I had worn to the rehearsal the day before.

In any case, good times, tired feet and a sunburn is all that was had :)

Me, W and M

Beautiful bride :)

Me on the left... ended up wearing my hair up with two flowers because it was HOOOOOOOT. Photo curtesy of C.

Beautiful garden :)

Cutting the cake!

Beautiful centerpiece...

I'm at a loss for words...

I found out yesterday my mom has cancer. It may have been caught early enough... it may not... we don't know yet. Please pray for our family as we go through this.

YOGA

Thanks to my walking buddy J, I tried a yoga class today. I signed up for two trial classes thinking I wouldn't be into it but it would be fun to try. When I saw the instructor I thought it was going to be a joke... she was exactly what I'd picture a yoga instructor to be like... spacey and earthy with a singsong voice.

Well, the class was AMAZING. I left there feeling so refreshed and relaxed and now have a newfound respect for yoga. I'm trying to convince C that he needs to do it too...I really think it'll help him with his back! I'm going to try my second class and most likely sign up for the year... this is a good "ME" thing to do. I must say though, I AM feeling the effects of class now... haha, muscles I didn't know I had ;)
