General Patton and Wonder Woman. We did have to negotiate whether we took my invisible plane or his Jeep to this party.

Baby got back...

My honey and I had a wonderful time at a friends wedding last Friday. The best part for fun was the joyous reception - lets just say that there was lots of dancing.

Labor Day weekend - Dillard, GA

We went RV-ing courtesy of Mom and Dad Harmon, up in the N. GA mountains. We didn't rough it, we had a luxury liner with all the comforts of home. It was great to get out or Powder town and explore the mountains. Here are some highlights...

It takes a village...to build a shed

We need a place to park our snapper. We also need a place to store tools. So, we needed to build a shed.

Here’s the shed:




Currently we have one wall up, but, as the true visionaries we are we danced and celebrated at the completion of our 1 wall. It’s wonderful.


My favorite part about the shed – it’s red. But I have one unanswered question...does the shed come with the cheesy little horse applique shown in the picture? This totally makes the pseudo shed look like a barn.
Even if it doesn’t come with the horse sticker, I’m still excited about the our shed.

Painting again

Over the last 6 months I have missed painting, and because of a friend's upcoming new baby, I was able to force myself to put everything else to the side. I had so much fun, enjoy.

Honeymoon highlights

No not those kind of highlights Jen.

Just some memorable shots from the NC mountains.

We're married!

I am so happy!

Saying good bye to a name

After 31 years I'm in my last few days with the name I was born with. Since I'm getting married in 7 days, and I'm in advertising, I'm, referring this to a new marketing/branding campaign.

Six months ago after becoming engaged I was conversing with my Mom on how Women are born with one name and leave with a different one. Not meaning to be morbid at all but it's a true statement. Change is good and it's how we renew ideas and keep things fresh, but it's good pay your respects to a good name.

3 great things about my maiden name:
• Maiden name falls in the middle of the alphabet
• Irish surname
• Are you related to Angie Harmon?

3 great things about my new married name:
• Youngblood will look lovely signed in the corner of my paintings
• Easy pronunciation (I've see what's out there)
• I share it with Bart


Farwell maiden name, you've served me well.

Widgets are important

Everyday, the first thing I do at work is turn on my computer and check my email. The second thing I do is hit my F12 key so that my widgets appear. I have 2 important widgets that I keep visible, one is my daily bible verse and the other is my daily count down to my wedding day.

Here's today's:

01.2007 Update

Just a brief post to log what's gone on since my last post. This first month of the new year is flying by!
The holidays were great but busy, this year it was wonderful spending it with my Bart. Everything is much more fun because I have him to do everything with. My favorite memory from Christmas was worshiping with him at his parent's church program. Just sitting there, snuggled together, thinking of the joyous season. Each time he squeezed his arm around me I would look at him and I knew we were so greatful.

We also welcomed new babies into our friends and family circle. Our good friends Sunny and Matthew welcomed their new daughter into the word on my Birthday and we can't wait to meet her. We've seen the pictures but I can't wait to hold her.

And Bart's brother Dan and my future sister-in-law Mindy had their first child just a few days into January. Bart's excited about being an uncle and just hate that we live so far from them. They named their little boy Mckinley.

December also marked Bart and I turning a year older, with all the celebrations in the past month I am so glad that we are getting married in April.

by the way, I sorta kinda have a wedding site at the knot website. I've put the basics on site but I havn't expouneded on many of the topics and items you can fill in. But there's a page out there.
And I'm close to getting the invitations printed so things are moving along and I'm excited about everyday ahead.

more later...and photos to come.
