a picture is worth a thousand words.

This time seven years ago, I was anxiously anticipating my high noon walk down the aisle to the most amazing man. And seven years later, I'm anxiously anticipating the arrival of the Sears repairman so that I will not have to hand wash my dishes much longer! Honestly, I had planned to make this blog post full of love for my husband, but who says I cannot love a working dishwasher, too?!
So, yes, it is our 7th anniversary. If by any chance my husband would actually read my blog (doubting it!), I would like to tell him how much I love him and that I'm the luckiest girl in the world! While I'm on the subject of my husband, I had just a couple of weeks ago promised another giveaway that actually involved him. Some of you may know that he rather enjoys photography and happens to be amazing behind the camera. Well, he has offered the readers of my blog a chance to win a free spring photo session (1 - 1 1/2 hrs.) at the Athens Botanical Gardens. Now, this is huge! Most photographers would charge at least a $100 location fee, and you can win a free session right here on my blog. In addition, he will be offering a $25 print credit to the lucky winner. Again...huge! All you have to do is register your comment before this Thursday at midnight. A winner will be selected and announced Friday. This would be the perfect opportunity to have beautiful spring pictures of your children (even senior pictures), your family or even multiple generations of your family. I hope you will all take time to register a comment to win. In addition, you can sign up as a follower of my blog (on the right-hand side of my blog page.) In a separate comment, please share with me that you signed on as a follower. This will give you yet another chance to win! So, you have two chances to throw your name in the hat. I have included several of his photos to give you an idea of his work. I am sure one of these will look a little familiar to you!
I guess you get the "picture." Go ahead and comment! And, good luck!

Lannae - do I have to follow you here or does my google reader count????

I love Burke's pictures and would love an opportunity to wokr with him --- do I get to choose a spot? I'll explain even if I don't win.

Love you - the Picture of the Bowen's jumping is my favorite of these.

I'm so "impressed" (I can be punny, too) with your talent - both you and your husband! I would love some Spring pics of Maddie; she is growing so fast! Consider me a follower!

I always feel so funny posting Tammie's posts for her, but rest assured I would never say these things about myself! So, here goes...

So many compliments on my earring with my kids birthdates and my bracelet and my necklace. My mother lovers her NANNY piece and my daughter loves her SISSY piece too!

Hey Lannae!

I really want to get a new picture of the boys outside. Botanical Gardens is one of my favorite places to take photos. I hope I win. If not, I still may want to get Burke to take some pics.
