the day after....

Yesterday marked one of the greatest decisions and moments of my life. It was four years ago yesterday that Pearl and I committed our lives to each other till death do us part, for better or worse, and a list of other conditions that basically means SHE SAID YES!

It’s been an absolutely wonderful four years… four years! That’s a college degree! I have a bachelor of Pearl.

So to celebrate our special day, we had special events.

It all started with flowers (note to all guys, start all things with flowers!)


That led to a cup of Pearl’s favorite drink

(Starbucks whole milk, no water Chai)

Which only naturally could be accompanied by breakfast in bed.
(Bacon... yet another one of Pearls' favorite things in life)

(biscuits... mmm)

Here’s the spread… All this prepped by 7:00am and hot to greet her as she woke up.

It was a great morning… Pearl really appreciated the cheesy eggs, Chai, etc but mostly she just loved being the center of my attention and knowing that I was trying to love her… even if my cooking was not so great.

Shortly after, Pearl scooted out to work and I went to the gym, talked with my crazy funny old neighbor Barney for a little while,


(that’s not sweet tea he’s drinking… he tricked me one time in to taking a big gulp, only to receive a big surprise)


we talked a lot about photography, our new business was going and then places he had photographed. He showed me some really nice work he had done, surprisingly nice work.

After I wrapped up our conversation, I was finally was greeted by my lovely bride in the afternoon to start our evening date.

We went to Strawberry Hill Restaurant, which I will now be telling everyone to give a try. It was a wonderful time. The food was amazing and my company was breath taking.



She looked so fine… so I had to take a picture.

but she thought I looked fine too, so she had to take a picture

Here’s the rest of what our evening looked like. A wonderful meal, then a great time at the movies (we give StarTrek 2 thumbs up).
