Photos, Words

August to December

As promised, I finally have a photo update! It’s jumbo size too.
Feel free to check out my Flickr account (I usually end up posting a lot of pictures there way before I get around to posting in my blog).

I never got around to posting pictures from our honeymoon (except a few polaroid)s, so here they are!

Fontainebleau Resort in Miami

afternoon mojitos

balcony views

rooftop pool w/ pina coladas

“8th & Ocean” aka – a short lived MTV series.
Coincidentally, two months later I passed one of the twin models from the show in Vegas.

Miami Dork.

We got the very last photos from our wedding – all of the True Love poses. Here are just a couple, but check out Flickr for the rest.

A little over a month after our honeymoon, we flew to Key West for Katie & Caleb’s wedding.

Early morning flight out of Tulsa.

I bought my ticket late & had to fly separately. Somehow got to Key West a couple ours before the rest of the crew & let a Memphis Belle poster keep me company in the dusty little airport bar.

Dinner boat ride

Our sweet lil’ hotel

Breakfast by the pool

And of course the beautiful ceremony!

Laura and I took a girls trip to Las Vegas !
I still can’t believe how much fun we had. We’re going to make it a yearly routine.

Our hotel on the strip – Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon. Heck yeah.

Madame Trousseau’s Wax Museum

Dinner & drinks at The N9NE Steakhouse in The Palms
one of the best meals of my life.

Danced at JET…

Now that I’m out of school for good, I’ll be able to concentrate on Bittersweet Styles. So be sure to check out all that’s up for grabs in the store!


I’ll also be starting an internship in January in the external affairs department at at The Walton Arts Center (which just so happens to have hosted one of my all time favorite concerts – Wilco). So, everything is coming together! Exciting stuff.

Till next time…

wedding polaroids!

Thought I would go ahead and post the Polaroid portion of our wedding photos. Big thanks to the lovely Erin Abbott for almost all of these shots!

For those of you all who don’t know, we got married in a little old house right next to the University of Arkansas campus. It just so happens to be the house where Bill & Hillary Clinton use to live (and where they were married). Plus, we just so happen to be the first couple to get married there since them, hince all of the Clinton references below and the newspaper article.
