"He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.) When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me... whenever... wherever - in case I need him. And I expect I will - as I always have. He is just my dog." - Gene Hill

There's Nothing Like a Georgia Wedding....

Ryan's long time friend Tyler, was married this past weekend.  The ceremony & reception were held @ the bride's parents farm in Monroe, GA.  I love a wedding full of authentic country charm!  Congrats Tyler & Christyn!!

I LUHUV my Chico.  His ability to love & hate in extremes facinates me.

Less than a year to go....

Labor day weekend, one year from now, we will be married!  We decided to spend this past labor day weekend doing a little wedding research. I had so many questions about what lies ahead.  What will the view be like? How much have the leaves filled in since this spring? What will the day look like? Where will everyone stay? We managed to get a lot accomplished and feel so incredibly excited about our wedding day.

We didnt get to check our wedding site on the 5th because of a rehearsal that was going on so we decided to stop off at Vinnie's @ the lake for a quick cold one.  I'm thinking this place will be a favorite stop for my family......

We took off on the bike the next morning to see if we could finish what we started on Saturday.

Beautiful.

I heart the fall. There is something so comforting about fall weather. It seems like there is no better time to go for a drive with the windows down or take a long walk through the woods. That is exactly what we did last night.
