Mom and Dad

Today is my parents' 36th anniversary! Anyone who knows me knows that I am slightly obsessed with my family; they are probably my favorite group of people in the world and I never get tired of laughing with them. My parents are absolutely amazing-- my mom(Debra) is the sweetest, most caring and gentle person I've ever met, she is a walking-talking personification of unconditional love. My dad (Rex) is completely devoted to his family and works his tail off to take care of us; he's also incredibly goofy and I LOVE watching him make my baby niece laugh.

I have been blessed with incredible parents, so I just wanted to acknowledge them on their anniversary!

**(I discovered this yesterday) If you click on any image in my blog it will open up a much bigger version, which is quite handy for making the teeny tiny collages better for viewing! (I'm learning so many new things with this whole blogging thing...)

***We took these pictures of my parents out in our backyard the other day, but unfortunately I was trying some new settings on my camera so quite a few of the pictures didn't come out quite how I want them. These are some that worked, and my parents are precious in them but I see quite a few backyard shoots in the future as I learn more :)

Great job, Jess. I LOVE the pic behind the plate and I love the closeups of mom and dad individually.

Love you!

About Me

I'm 22. I'm a girl. I just graduated from Texas A&M. I hate (and am allergic to) peanut butter. I like taking pictures. I watch too many movies. I hoard music and take great pleasure in finding new artists. I get annoyed with work because it doesn't allow me enough time to read for pleasure. I have a love/hate relationship with exercise, depending entirely on the time of day. I love movies based on comic books. I get really freaked out by E.T. I'm a big, big fan of food. I think anything remotely related with Aaron Sorkin is genius. I can't stand pro football. I have an unhealthy obsession with fall and Christmas. I love, love, love laughing with my family. I try to be a good follower of Christ and I falter a lot, but the beauty of Him is that I don't have to save myself.
