The Traveler's Wife: November 2008

Breann and Dave Hawkins

Okay so some good friends of ours got married Saturday on very short notice and it was beautiful!! I was very honored that she asked me to take some pics for her. By no means am I a professional but this is one of my biggest hobbies, that is a HOBBY taking pics for a living would not be my cup of tea. I get to frustrated and I still do not know how to use all of my gadgets and settings on my wonderfully confusing camera. I wish someone could teach me because the book is way too confusing. Well on to the happy couple.

We have known Dave and Breann for a couple years now. Dave started out working with Matt and now that we took over the business he works for Matt and he is such a great person and Breann is a wonderful friend as well and I am soo glad we got to know them and become such great friends. So here are some of the shots I got and like I said they aren't professional but it suites me and I think I did okay.

Happy Halloween!!

So Halloween is getting better every year and next year Dana will get to go yay!!! Well we started the night off going to my grandma's house, then off to Aunt Joyce's and then to town it was a long night and we kinda got started early to be able to make the rounds but we have always made it to everyone's house so they could see the girls. Olivia had such a great time and She is such a big girl and wasn't scared at all to go knock on the door and say trick or treat. But the only down fall is that my 3 year old would say thank you and be polite and 95% of the people that hand out the candy never said your welcome. What is wrong with that picture?

Grandpa's 75 birthday party!!

So I am not a good blogger at all really I like looking at other people's more. Recently it was my Gpa's 75 Birthday and we had a get together at my Aunt Joyce's with family. It was so much fun I always love for all the cousins to get together. I remember back when I was young all the get togethers we had with my cousins and it was such great memories I just wish we seen each other more to make more memories. Being with my cousins were some of the best memories in my childhood when I was young we lived so far away I always cherished every minute I had with my cousins even though I was always the youngest I was most of the time included. But now it is all about making memories for all the little ones and I love when they get to spend time with each other which is not very often. Here are some memories of the party and my handsome grandpa.

I LOVE my granparents sooooo much that words cannot describe how much. They are the best a person could ask for. They love their grandkids and more importantly they love visits from their great grandkids it lifts their sprits to be able to see them grow. They have become and important part in Olivia's life and I make every effort to go out of my way to see them when I can. I just love them and could not have asked God to give me better grandparent, Thanks Granny and Grandpa for always being there ang loveing every one of use even when we were being Brats!
