Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

I know this is a day late, but HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Larry and Wanda

I'm a little late on this.

I got the opportunity to perform at Larry and Wanda's reception on Friday the 2nd.

I love these two. They are my neighbors (well, Larry is now that they are married). They had the room decorated in Fall colors and everything was A1!!

Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your day!

Pumpkin Carving

I've never, in my life, ever carved a pumpkin. My son wanted not one, but two this year.

Here's my first attempt. It's supposed to be a bat:



My second was a little better. I found a template online. Sorry my photography isn't better. I'll use a tripod tomorrow night. It was about 49 degrees while I was outside doing this.

See if you can figure out who it is......

Fall is here!

This is awesome! I'm sitting out on the front porch, drinking coffee, writing in my blog and it is 56 degrees! It's supposed to be around 44 in the morning. I LOVE this kind of weather.

I have an outside event tomorrow at Mercer. It should be nice weather.

Well, I really don't have much to say. I just wanted to gloat about the weather to all of you in Orlando, where it is still in the 90's!

Later,

Katie and Jonathan

Well, my camera has been in the shop for the past 2 weeks, so I don't have many pics from the last 2 weekends.

I had a blast at Katie and Jonathan's wedding this past weekend. It was one I was looking forward to. Hassel and Bene' took some awesome pictures and I wanted to share them with you.

This is my favorite picture!

Sorry! It's been a while!

I have been so busy, I can't see straight.

Things have been going well. I'm on the committee to plan our 20 year class reunion. It should be fun. Guess who the DJ is???

I can't say anything about it yet, but it's gonna be rockin! I 'll be there, what more do we need!? LOL

Hayden's birthday is in a couple of weeks. I can't believe how fast he's grown up!

I'm going to Vegas for a DJ convention. Should be cool. I'm going to see what little gems I can pick up to make weddings even better!

It was great to talk to Michelle again today. She graduated a year ahead of me and I saw her again when we lived in Orlando. She is still in Daytona and she is in the wedding biz too. (There, I didn't give out too much info!)

Wow! Guess what just came on the radioio80s channel on Itunes? Q-feel - Dancing in Heaven (Orbital Bebop) Great tune!

Here's today's positive thought:

Skeet

I went and shot skeet last night. I'm hooked!! It was really cool.

I've got to start on the Hunter's safety course, so I can go turkey hunting this winter.

We took my truck through some mud the other day. It was just a big puddle, but Hayden thought it was pretty cool. I forgot to take pics. Next time, I guess.

Keep it real!

I'm back!

Well it's been awhile since I've had the time to write. I'm humbled how God is working in my business. It just keeps getting better and better.

I had a great wedding last weekend in Warner Robins. Daniel and Angela were a blast to work with!

DeDe's brother and his family have moved to town. Hayden is very excited that he will see his cousins every Sunday now.

I'm going skeet shooting again tomorrow night, I think. I had fun last week when I went. I'm hoping my neighbor will go with me.

I know I'm rambling. Sorry.

Here's the quote for today:

Long Weekend

Well, I'm finally getting around to this. I had quite the long weekend. Friday night found me at First Presbyterian Day School for a back to school dance. Good times! Thanks to my nephew, Boone, for helping me out on that.

Saturday, I was in Peachtree City, where I performed at Matt and Jennifer's wedding reception. We had a blast!!! The dance floor was never empty! Thanks to all of Matt and Jenn's friends and family for such a good time!


Sunday morning, I was up and at 'em, heading downtown for the Macon Wedding Ring's Bridal Show. We had 71 brides registered. Great turnout! For those that don't know, Rebecca, my sis in law, has come aboard as my wedding planner. She did a great job at her first bridal show. Thanks Rebecca!!

Right after that, I headed to Mercer for the orientation celebration. What a great group of freshman!!! We had a blast!

Monday afternoon was Bear Fair and the back to school party at Mercer. Another great crowd. I had fun!!! Good job, Beth White, on setting it all up!

Well, I'm off to finally unload the truck. It's just too hot, but I gotta do it.

Quote of the day:

Thanks,

Why can't I sleep?

I can't understand why I can't sleep at night. I've cut out the caffeine after 6. I lay back and try to relax. Yet it still takes me at least an hour to fall asleep. I envy Hayden and DeDe. They're asleep almost as soon as their head hits the pillow.

I guess part of it is trying to remember everything for this weekend. Really the only events I have to prepare for is the wedding on Saturday and the bridal show on Sunday.

Business is picking up. I'm really excited to see where the Lord is going to take this thing next.

Feel free to comment on my posts. It would be nice to know it's being read.

I'm going to bed!!!! I'm beat!

It's Tuesday

Well, it's still in the 100's. Guess who's not cutting the grass! I don't go outside if I don't have to.

So, I'm on MySpace the other day and a guy I knew from 20 years ago at Calvary (the church I grew up in) adds me as a friend. This has led to an onslaught of people I haven't seen in forever. It's good times to catch up. I love where I am in my life and wouldn't change it for anything, but it's good to know where you came from.

To all my old friends, I'm having a cup of coffee just for you!! (since I don't drink.....)

This weekend is going to be a busy one. 5 events in 4 days. Friday night is a high school dance.....those are some of the hardest to do, especially since this one is a Christian school.

Here's today's quote:

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined.
Henry David Thoreau


Have a great day!!

Hayden's first day at Sprindale Elementary

A picture of Hayden on his first day of school

It's Friday!

You know what stinks? Lots of stuff, I know, but how am I supposed to function when this allergy medicine makes me so sleepy? Arghh!

Anyway, Hayden and I are going to see Justin and Stephanie (friends of ours) ride in a barrel racing contest tonight. It should be fun! DeDe is scrapbooking tonight.

It's going to be 104 degrees today!!!! I can't wait for cooler weather.

This is cool....I got a call from a bride, who I'm meeting with next week. We were in the same German class in high school!!! That was 19 years ago and she remembered me!!! I'm not sure how to take that. I'm glad I'm memorable...I just hope it was for good reasons!!

I didn't have much to say today. Sorry......


Here's today's quote:

" The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer."

Allergies

Well, here starts another week of allergies. This gets old real quick! They started a few months ago, coming and going, but now they've been pretty bad for about 3 weeks.

Hayden started Pre-K today. He was really excited! It was touching to see how much he has grown up. He'll be 5 in October. DeDe did well. She didn't cry at all. Neither did I. I'm proud of him and everything he's doing.

What's up with the heat?! It's going to be 100+ all week! I'm glad August is slow for weddings. I'd hate to be loading in, in heat like this. It almost felt like Orlando. It rained for about 10 minutes and then it was a steam bath for the rest of the day.

Well, here's the quote for the day:

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."
Albert Schweitzer

A weekend off!

This weekend is a welcome treat. I have a weekend off! I plan on spending time with Hayden and DeDe. Maybe we'll get some of the projects around the house completed. That would be nice.

The Macon's Wedding Ring bridal show is coming up August 19. For more details go to www.maconsweddingring.com .

I'll leave you with some words by Aristotle:

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

Pictures of setups

Here's a collection of pictures from various events I've done in the past year. Hope you enjoy it.

Start of another week

Well, this past weekend was a good one. I had a wedding in Augusta, GA and it was about a 3 hour drive. I had not met the bride and groom before the wedding, as everything was done online and over the phone. They live in SC. Sandy and Stark are some very cool people. We had a great time. Check out some pics here.

This is my first time doing a blog and I'll try and keep it updated.

Remember, your name and your character are all that you have. No one can take them from you but you can lose it. Be truthful, be honest, but above all.......be yourself!


Later,
