We went for a mini date night to the Garden Lights at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens last night. They put this on every year and it’s been getting bigger and bigger, and is pretty amazing. There are over a million lights and they do a really good job. I don’t have enough skill to capture it on camera and being there in person is a pretty immersive experience. They have everything from lights/snowflakes hanging in the trees, to the rainforest exhibit done up, to music with dancing lights, to a gigantic christmas model train. Highly recommended if you are in town.

Cathy had a conference in Dallas last week, so we decided to make another mini-vacation out of it. We had some friends in Dallas and we’ve never been, so it seemed like a great idea.

While visiting and hangout out with our friends was pretty awesome, the rest of Dallas was a huge meh. People aren’t lying when they say “everything is bigger in Texas”. Everything from the distances between cities, the huge excess in terms of city/urban sprawl, to the amount of back fat on display. Wowie!

We went out around town, hit up some bars/restaurants around Deep Ellum, and visited the Arboretum. The Arboretum was pretty damn cool and we did find some super good food (Celebration, Angry Dog) around town. Otherwise, I doubt we’ll ever be back. Certainly wouldn’t want to live there!

Here are the best 40 photos from our wedding. Was such an incredible time and there were so many great pictures, but we had to narrow it down a bit. We also have a gallery of about a 100 that we’ll post a bit later that have great portraits/photos of pretty much all the guests, but for now, enjoy our favorites!

It’s been forever since we’ve been to Savannah together. I was sort of “over” it because of all the trips to Roebling Road, and Cathy got a bit tired of it after all the St. Patty’s days we’ve been to. Cathy had a work conference in town though, and I decided to tag along right at the end and we made a mini-vacation out of it. We did a carriage tour around town, went on a house tour, visited the cemetery, biked around town, hit Tybee island for some beach time, and spent some time in town eating pizza and drinking. Great weekend!

We got engaged about this time last year (10/30 to be exact). Even though that was forever ago, we didn’t get “engagement” pictures taken until we picked out our wedding photographer and got us a package deal. Worked out great as it was a chance to meet our wedding photog and make sure he was pretty awesome before we paid him a metric ton of $$ to photograph our wedding. I think they turned out pretty awesome. We finally have some “good” pictures of the two of us!
