NEW BLOG!

After much research and thought, I have decided to get and design a new, more professional looking blog! I am so excited! I have been wanting a blog that allows (1) me to post BIGGER pictures, (2) people to leave comments without totally confusing them about whether or not they need to have some sort of an account, and (3) me to completely customize and make it my own! I have found the answer! My new blog is www.swparkerphotography.com/blog. Check it out! There you will find my newest post from an awesome shoot I did last week and all other posts from now on. I am still making some minor adjustments, but feel free to subscribe so you can be notified every time I post something new! Thanks for your interest!! :)

College DAZE!

Two of my good friends turned 25 this week. They had an awesome party last night. The theme was College Daze- you had to wear something you wore in college. Happy Birthday to Katherine & Alison!! Love you guys!

There is actually a story behind this picture which came from a previous birthday celebration (Karin & Ryan's) in January...CLICK HERE to read it :)

The cake:
An AWESOME shirt Karin got Katherine for her bday (courtesy of shirt.woot.com):
A close-up. Yes, it is so good, it deserves 2 pics! Karin promises to get me one this cool for my birthday...
Sweet Couple:)
We played some pretty fun, yet intense games: 'V' for VICTORY
Both birthday girls won their respective matches
One of the winning teams:
The Scoreboard!
Wes and Dylan were a team and they won as well! Here are some fun shots of them:

I love the Dylan's intense look top right...


Kati came in town with her boyfriend to hang out this weekend! We were all so excited to see them!
Ha...I thought about showing up to the party in a leotard because I spent most of my time dancing in college, but I am so glad I didn't...I would have looked like Elle Woods from Legally Blonde when she showed up to the party in a skimpy bunny suit. YIKES. Glad I stuck with the Tridelt shirt. 

Random Eye Candy :)

It was a good day. For once, I had time to be BORED, so I started taking random pictures of things in my house. I LOVE taking pictures of anything and everything; especially random stuff...I think it tells a lot about the person behind the camera. For once, I came home from work and found that I had NOTHING to do. Ha...there must be SOMETHING to do. Nope. Nothing. This is very new for me. I don't know what to do with myself. All I know is it's awesome because I get to do nothing with my best friend...my husband:) and maybe I'll even get to spend some extra, unplanned time with Jesus!

Here are the goods:

Some old windows I painted:

Yes, I am organized and yes, I am O.C.D. 
Shells we collected on our honeymoon in St. Lucia:
Giving presents is so much fun. One of my favorite parts is making them pretty :)
Work has been slow for Wes, but it has been good because, for once, he is able to work on the projects he has been wanting to finish for weeks or even months. I come home from work and find things like this around the house:
And this...and...drumroll please...
THIS. 

Holy Cow! He built us a park bench!! So cool. Several weeks ago, he found the iron parts for the bench in a dumpster at work (he works in construction...not like he goes digging through the trash on a regular basis) and brought them home. He was finally able to finish it today. On top of being Mr. Fix it, he is also very creative. I love it. Tomorrow he might build me some adirondack chairs! Sweet.
