Drums, Dancing, Feathers and Love

This Sunday the fam and I went to the annual Pow Wow at Savannah's Park. We love to go and take in the music and culture. It was very overcast and in the middle of a dance it started to pour rain so I wasn't able to get too many pictures of the dancers in their feathery costumes. I think one of the best parts of the day is when we sat at a picnic table so the girls could eat their blue snow cones and my hubby his fried gator! Sitting next to us was an old couple. (probably in their 70's or 80's) They both had motorized scooters. They were enjoying some food and each others company and talking to us about other Pow Wow's they had attended. In the middle of eating, the man reached for a bag and took out his camera with all types of lenses on it. This was a serious camera! She had food on her face, giggled and said, "I knew you were going to do that!" He smiled and snapped some photos of her. It was just so heartwarming- you could see them as young kids giggling. Still enjoying each others company after all these years!!
Here are some pics of the day.

Our 5th Wedding Anniversary

About 6 years ago, I had given up on dating. I was done! Had too many boyfriends that treated me less than what I deserved- and I took it for some reason. I was ready to focus on me- take care of myself. Then it happened. I was singing karaoke- Me and Bobby Mcghee-Janis Joplin. (LMAO) I met my future husband. I was 33 and figured it would never happen and I was willing to accept it and be a strong independent woman. Little did I know that I could be a strong independent woman with the support of a wonderful man! January 20, 5 years ago we were married.

The sky the day of our wedding.

My brothers and Rich and I

It was important that my mom was there. She arranged everything and it could not have been more perfect! I think huge weddings are overrated and are more about the pomp and circumstance than the actual meaning of the ceremony. My family was there and that was the best! Also, nothing could be more awesome than getting married under a 100 year old Magnolia tree!
Until next time- Hope you have or find the love you deserve!
