    I love the pictures. Especially the one in Paris where your red tights match your lipstick. But I'm just so curious, why do you have a MAC tattoo? It looks like the same font as the cosmetics company and I was wondering if that's really what it was for.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for sharing a bit of your life. I love Paris. We went there for our honeymoon and have returned several times since, the most current being last May. We rented an apt. and it was fabulous to live like a Parisian.

    Thank you so much! I look forward to making these!

    I adore that you are very talented just as your husband is. There is no shadowing in your marriage! It is such a great honour to be able to read your blog and twitter. I have learned so much already!

    It is wonderful that God brought such talented people together that compliment on another so much! I look forward to their next tour when you all come back to Club Retro in Orangevale, CA! :)

    I really like these pictures, but I especially like the wedding one :) Yall both look very good, and I can only imagine the bliss that you felt on that day.

    PS - Feel free to stop by the DQ in Rincon, GA. You can eat there (almost) any time; my treat.

    Hi :)

    I really like your blog. I love your photos and the pics with you and Josh are awesome! You guys look so adorable ;]

    I was wondering what the tattoo on your neck meant - it's really cool. Who took the pics of you guys together? They came out super nice!
