Some Wedding Pictures

It's wedding picture time!!!!

My family and friends all worked to decorate for us.  This is the bride and groom  table at the reception hall.


This is when I first stepped through those doors into the sanctuary, and the emotion of the moment hit me.  I didn't know whether I would make it down the aisle without crying.  There is something incredibly powerful about that moment when the double doors open and you take the first step onto the aisle.


My flower girl did such a good job sprinkling the petals so perfectly for me to walk on.

My sisters made the bridesmaid dresses.  I loved them.  They were long and flowing and modest and absolutely gorgeous. 

I love it that we're all smiling here.

The grand recessional of King Garrett and Queen Esther.

Yep.  Just like that, and I'm a married woman.  Kinda hard to believe.  After months of preparation, the entire  morning passed like a blink of an eye.  It's not fair how fast that went.  At the end of the day, I felt like everything happened so fast that I didn't have time to even see the day.  It was one of those "blink...blink...what just happened?!?!?!" moments.  I was glad somebody took pictures.  And I was also glad for  some quiet time afterward to slow it down and relive it.

I really am not posing here.  I'm just glancing over my shoulder as I head down the steps to get my picture taken.  Maybe the cape makes me look serious or something...

Cutting the cake.  Neither of us knew what we were doing, but he pulled it off with the skill of a surgeon.


I know you can't see all the designs on my dress, but there are roses and leaves and fleur-de-les and horses and owls and flowers.  There are three strands of beads that start front and center on my skirt and swoop down to the hem in the back.  For those of you  who remember my previous post wherein I was making a "surprise" applique: it was an owl because Garrett loves owls.  I don't have a picture of it here at my new house, but I will post it when I retrieve it from my old computer.


So many amazing friends were there and so many amazing friends couldn't come.  I am very blessed by all my friends.




     I hope you all are having a wonderful day!  As things slow down a little, I hope to be on here more often soon.  Happy writing, everyone!

Goodbye and God Be With You

It's rather fitting that some things come to a close on this day -- the last day of the year. I submitted my last entry into the Rooglewood contest this morning.  I can hardly believe it took me until the day of the deadline to send it in because I'm usually earlier than that.  And, even with the extra time I took, I still felt a little bit like maybe I could have done better if I had more time. But there was no feeling of regret when I hit "send."  Mostly it was just a prayer that Rooglewood would hear the heart of the message when they read it and that maybe, if I win, they could help me bring the full potential out of my little story.  And there was also a feeling, after working on these stories for more than six months, that it felt good to close that chapter and move on to the next one. I did it.  I wrote them.  And I'm really proud of them. Last year, the act of hitting "send" on my contest entry catapulted me into an anticipatory state....

The Countdown: Eight Days

Eight days.  Do you know what that means?  Barely over a week.  Tomorrow will be one week from the announcement date. Are you excited? I am. So, today, I want to talk to those who wrote something for the contest, whether or not you entered it in the end. What made you start writing your story?  What was the first inkling of an idea that tickled your brain?  What was it that you liked about your premise?  As you wrote, did you have a favorite character or a favorite scene?  And are you glad you wrote it down?  Do you feel like you learned and grew in your ability as a writer as you tried out things for this contest? And, if your story isn't included in this year's Rooglewood anthology (either because you didn't submit it or because it didn't fit with the other four stories selected), what will you do with it?  Will you market it elsewhere?  Or will you lock it away in a drawer?

Rooglewood Countdown: 12 days

     For the next 12 1/2 days, as we do our final countdown until March 31st, I'm going to do 4 posts asking about something you would like to see in the Snow White collection.      There are so many ways all of us, writers and readers alike, can win in this contest.  Maybe a familiar name makes it into the final five -- hurray!  Maybe a story in your favorite genre ended up in the collection this year -- woohoo!  Maybe you finally get to read a winning story about an evil king and his Snow White son -- how awesome!      So, in celebration of all the many things we can root for, I want to know some of the things that you think would be cool to find in this year's set of winners.      Without further ado, here is my question for the day: What is a point of view you would like to see in this collection?  Would you like a story written from the prince's perspective?  A story from Snow White's p...
