ANGST, ANGST [lil] BABY

OH angsty teenage years,

do you ladies remember those?!?!

Back in middle or high school

and thinking you KNEW everything?!?!

How that one boy's smile could 

make or BREAK

your day?

How your parents were

RUINING YOUR LIFE?!!?

How no one COULD POSSIBLY

understand what you were feeling.

[happy, joy, sadness, angst, fear, puppy love]

 No?!?!

Well I do, for sure. 

I remember finding solace in music.

Papa Roach

My junior year of high school my dad was deployed to South Korea while the four B ladies stayed at home in the USA. 

That was hands down the worst year of my life. 

My grades plummeted, my mom and I were fighting constantly 

[sorry mama b] 

and I was just so upset my dad wasn't home.

Did I mention I was 16 and thought I knew EVERYTHING!?!

Yeah, we won't talk about that now, haha.

But, we can talk about the bands that helped ease my angst.

That made lil young pinky feel tough and hard.

Or emo, depending on the mood. 

I listened to some old Goo-Goo dolls

and Papa Roach recently

and immediately was back in high school

and all angsty. 

 All I can do is laugh at me back then.

What I thought was important.

What I thought was right.

And HOW MUCH I thought I knew. 

Bless my teenage heart, but lawd I was a mess ;)!

I'm glad I'm no longer angsty or emo-y. 

I'm so happy to be so happy!

But, I have to say thanks to the angst musicicans

that helped me out when the 

WHOLE WORLD WAS AGAINST ME [winkwink]!

Do you have any angst music?!?

Wedding Wednesday: Formal Portraits

YAY Wedding Wednesday is back!

Sorry for being out last week y'all, I was home sick and did not have this prepped before I went on vacation.  Never fear though, I have lots of wedding day pictures to share today.

Today I'm sharing all of the formal group shots before the ceremony, after the ceremony and the wedding party pictures at the Jefferson Monument in DC.

Again, be ready for a picture heavy post because I JUST
COULDN'T choose just one of each picture.

The girls took our 'formal' pictures on the deck at my parent's house
and the boys took theirs in a cute courtyard at the church.

After we took all the family shots we jumped into the limo for some drinks while we were driven into Washington DC to get pictures at the Jefferson Memorial. Luckily traffic wasn't too bad and we were there with plenty of time.

love my girls

LOVE the colors!

WONDERFUL GIRLS! SO MUCH FUN!

Silly boys!

It's a WEDDING PARTY ;)!

I love all the group shots and the colors came out exactly as I imagined. The pinks and the greys looked amazing in the church and popped PERFECTLY at the monument.  I'm so happy I was able to get the happy, fun, bright colors because they perfectly describe our day.

All of the family pictures turned out fabulously and I'll be giving them as Christmas presents this year. It's nice to have such happy pictures, makes looking back that much more fun.

Check back next week for the bride&groom photoshoot!
