Fun Times With Friends

Andy and I made a pact this summer to “do shit” whenever possible. Last year we didn’t go swimming at all…that’s blasphemy! So far we’ve had a blast with friends going to the river(s), having BBQs, cheering/heckling at baseball games, started bands, played shows, gone to shows, and we’ve even made beach plans. I’m so […]

New Pests…I mean, Pets

Totally kidding about the “pests” part…it was just a silly typo I decided to leave. Anyway, recently we acquired a new pet – my family’s pet cockatiel, Pacino! My mom brought Pacino home from the “bird lady” 8 years ago. However, one thing led to another and now Andy and I are the parents to […]

Bottletree

Last week we decided to hop on the Bottletree train (I wish that was a real thing…) and head to the Spits, TV Ghost, and Really Loud Hamburgers. Since we weren’t driving, we got to let loose a bit more than usual, which made for a really fun night! While the Bottletree is one of […]

River Rats

Our friend’s family has an awesome house on the Elk River, right where it meets with the Tennessee. It’s about a 45 minute drive from where we live, but it’s SO worth it. A few car loads of us headed out there a couple of weeks ago and had a blast. We spent the day […]

Dog Days

For the past few years we’ve gone with our friends David and Ellis to Dog Days Flea Market in Ardmore, Tennessee on Memorial Day. This year we decided to add a destination to our thrifty weekend and we went to the Mountain Top Flea Market the day before. It was two days of early rising, […]

Mountain Top Flea Market

After Steph and I shot an AMAZING engagement session at the Mountain Top Flea Market, I knew Andy and I had to go back and peruse the place in its entirety. During the session, we only spent half an hour there before the heat ran us out. Luckily our friends David and Ellis were eager […]

Weeks ago, our friends Chris and Yuri started restoring a house here in Five Points. They removed a brick chimney and gave away all of the bricks. Andy and I didn’t hesitate to go get a truck bed FULL of bricks to use as garden paths. We’re determined to have a kick-ass yard that won’t […]
