The Last of the October Photoshoot...

I am sure all of you are tired of looking at pictures of me from the photoshoot last Friday so tonight I am going to upload the rest of the pictures. Like I said I couldn't be happier with how these turned out! Great job by the talented Ms. Alyssa! Peace and Love,

Outtakes...

Before I post some more of the great photos from our Fall photoshoot, I thought I would share some of the bloopers! Here is what happened behind the scenes. Downed my Pumpkin Spice coffee every 5 seconds because it was freezing!

This is our prom picture

October Photoshoot...

Yesterday Alyssa, Heather, and I headed to Belvoir Mansion to do a Fall Photoshoot! It was so much fun and I couldn't be happier with the way the pictures turned out. It was cold and we downed a lot of coffee but it was well worth it. I will post a majority of the pictures in the next few days but for now here are a few of my favorites.

Peace and Love,

Weekend Update...

This weekend I spent Saturday with friends. Heather and I met for lunch where we had amazing Caesar salads!!

Then we went to do some shopping. I found this glam sequin dress but I wasn't willing to pay the $100 for it. Was that a mistake?

Heather found a lot of things she liked. We probably spent 20 minutes trying to decide what sweater she should get.
Then we headed to Goodwill. I was hoping to find as many treasures as I did last time but I came away empty handed. I did find out that our Goodwill has a pretty decent supply of used books and a lot of them are in good condition.

Heather and I jammed to Sweet Thing the whole car ride home. I have a video to prove it (which I will post later.)

Then we headed to a friend's birthday party in downtown Annapolis. It was really fun. After the party I helped Suzanne take our friend Betty home. It wasn't exactly smooth sailing seeing as we got lost in Bowie for about 10 minutes. Suzanne and I ended the night with soft serve Ice Creams from Micky D's. It was a pretty wonderful ending to an incredibly busy and fun day.

Peace and Love,

Baseball...

Today was the Orioles last game of the season. I went with Heather and my dad and we had an awesome time! We ate some amazing pretzels and drank the best lemonade ever! Although the O's lost later on in the game it was still a great game.

Why do I love baseball so much? And why the Orioles? I began to follow the Orioles because Baltimore is my home team. The first couple of years I watched them they sucked. So why watch? Well, despite having a major crush on second baseman Brian Roberts, I fell in love with the game. I wanted to learn all the rules and the words for everything. I adored that baseball was America's favorite pastime and it soon became mine. It didn't matter to me that the Orioles lost more than they won. They were my team and it was all about loyalty. This season we got a new manager and with that we became a new team with a winning record. But I was there for them during the good times, the bad times, and the even worse times. You know that line in Fever Pitch where they talk about you being there for the team but the team not being there for you...it's so not true. The guys on this team really care about there fans. They want to win for them. You can see it when they play.

I got teary eyed at the game today. It was the end of a season. I am not going to see my boys for months. I won't be able to come home with a load of work and feel the comfort of knowing that the O's are playing that night. I won't be able to walk down Eutaw Street and smell the hot dogs cooking, hear the crack of the bat, and listen to Gary Thorn's commentary. I will miss these boys (especially Luke Scott and Brian Roberts) but I will see them again. There will be a little hole in my heart during the off season but I will fill it by reading Baseball books and dreaming of next season. Let's go O's!

Peace and Love,
