Startin Off Right


The weather has officially shifted from chilly to perfect & we’ve been taking full advantage of it. The front of our house has gotten a makeover, lots of playing with our new pup, get-togethers with friends, lots of wedding celebrations, & even a lil’ picnic on campus Sunday afternoon. Here are a few shots from the last week (just click ’em to enlarge).

A Few Months Worth

Ah, it’s been so long since I’ve made a real update. So what have I been doing? Good question.. let’s see.. there was Christmas in Memphis, Todd’s birthday, a roller skating party, the beginnings of wedding planning, winter break (which is just about over, but at least I’m technically now a college senior), the take over of Guitar Hero, Bittersweet Styles becoming even better thanks to working w/ Todd, oh and so much more. I should just let the pictures do the talking… (btw – now you can click the images if ya want to see them bigger).

We got a new camera for Christmas and it’s amazing.

New Years!

Just a few from the last week or so..

While I was in Memphis I went through some old photographed & scanned some of my favorites.

This is when my friends and I stood in line to meet Jonathan Brandis, who sadly passed away a couple of years ago. I remember we were upset because we had to pay $5 for this Polaroid and not only was he licking his lips mid-flash, but there’s a big finger print on it too. My mom, however, was upset because I got him to autograph my blue jeans. I totally wore them to school the next day… hopefully not with that purple silk shirt in this picture though.

Speaking of my mom, I also found my favorite old photos of her:

That’s all for now, except for one last picture of a junior high dork:


Byeee!

Autumny

I’m long overdue for an update, so here one is. The summer fun is over & now I’m a month into the semester taking 16 hours. Classes are ok.. two writing courses (one dealing with Public Relations, the other being more reading than actual writing), Marketing, German, and Biological Anthropology. All my time hasn’t been spent studying though – here’s just a peek at what else I’ve been up too..

The most exciting thing is that I have a new little sister! Lilah Caroline Reese Mcgregor was born a little less than a month ago. She’s so beautiful!

Little Lilah

So teeny.

Proud Papa

Sister Sister

After a trip to Jonesboro to visit the new family addition, a group of us enjoied a wonderful French meal cooked (and instructed) by Laura.

Afterwards, we saw Dr. Dog play a free show.

It’s fair time again..

That last picture was for my friend Seth‘s MySpace Photo Challenge. Check it out & play along!

That’s for now. I’ll update sooner next time & might even start posting videos, since I just bought my first video camera!

Till then..
