nellie's bridals- sneak peak
this shoot last night was a little bit "off the hook". I know kent is not allowed to look (so he better not be reading this) but when he does see these, he might fall over dead...in this girls case, I think looks can kill.happy pioneer day!!
pioneer day during my childhood consisted of the days of 47' parade, amazing fireworks (round 2) and my mom making me wear a bonnet of some sort. today I am older and am sad because I have no bonnet to wear.
In honor of my pioneer heritage I wanted to share the story of one of my most well known pioneer ancestors, mary goble pay. She crossed the plains when she was only 13yrs old and kept a journal. her younger sister and mother died while crossing the plains and her toes had to be amputated. I often thought about her story as a 13yr old and wondered how strong I would have been....now I am much older and still wonder. her story is a courageous one and I hope I can live up to the strength and testimony she left our family.
to read more about her story you can go here or here.
I traveled to england in the fall of 05 and took a day to visit to the small town of burpham england. this one lane village is where a lot of my goble and penfold ancestors came from. the main attraction in NYC is times square. the main attraction in burpham is an old church and graveyard. I spent most of my time there wandering through the headstones seeing familiar names. It was pretty surreal being by myself and spending hours in a graveyard. It felt oddly comfortable and meditative. simply beautiful. I would love to take my kids back there some day...(guess I have to get some of those first).

I haven't been posting as constantly as I would like...sorry about that. I've been busy. busy worrying about the mouse found in my house yesterday. no joke. I'm grossed out...but posting the rest of this wedding by tomorrow will help me feel better.any suggestions for rodent control? seriously gross.
