christmas

this is one of my favorite tilly pictures from christmas. we had 2 other dogs at my house the day after christmas, and tilly generally does well with other pups...but she does have some only child tendencies. which is why i love this pic. i dont know if you can tell, but she has a rawhide in her mouth, but her foot is firmly placed on her raccoon toy.

just in case anyone got any ideas.

sweet friends

these are my friends jenny and eric:

oh..and callie and hobbes too. i had the pleasure of taking their pics a few weeks ago, and LOVED how they turned out! ive been wanting to take some pictures on the train tracks, and they were the perfect guinea pigs! here are a couple other favorites.

love them! 

eaton memorial chapel

i've been spending a lot of time in galveston lately, because of a fantastic man named ryan. not only do i love hanging out with him, there are new places to take pictures of! i've lived in the houston area for the majority of my life, so i've spent some days on the island. but, it's different with someone who lives there. when i go, i trek right to my spot on the beach, usually stop at the wendy's to change and get a big diet coke, and then head back home. ryan knows lots of cool places, and in getting to those cool places, we pass other cool places. like, this...

this is eaton memorial chapel. you cant read it very well, but the last pic is of a 'storm survivor' emblem. this church stood up during the storm of 1900, and ike. pretty amazing. i love things that have been around for a long time. makes me not freak out as much about the small stuff. 26 years is nothing compared to 100+.

i had the pleasure of taking my friends christmas pics! they may look familiar to you, as they have been featured in a few of my posts:). they are a precious family!

one of my FAVORITE things to eat at my grandparents house is this. fried okra. i dont know WHY it tastes so good here, but it just does. my sister and i always tease my grandad about eating it all, and usually manage to sit by it whenever we gather for a meal. it looked so good, i of COURSE had to take a picture. 

mmm...okra. hope your thanksgiving was filled with good things!
