May 20th 2006 (re-visited)

Our three year anniversary was yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to make this post until just now. After three years I finally got around to processing our wedding photos*. I didn't do a whole lot to them, but gave them the look I visioned.

So three years (and one day) ago I became a Mrs. to such a wonderful Mr.
























































































HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ANDY!!!

*Our photographers (Beth and Richard of Downtown Studios) gave us a great deal since I requested they just give me the RAW images straight from the camera and I'd do my own processing. So I thank them for giving me such fabulous images to work with!

And here's a list of all the music that was played throughout the ceremony and reception. We made discs of all the ones listed as "801 Franklin" for our guests to take home. Apparently they were a big hit and I have friends that tell me they still listen to whatever disc(s) they got.

Record Store Day Celebrations





Thanks to all that came out to celebrate Record Store Day with us at Vertical House Records. On Thursday night, we had in-store performances from Goodnight Loving and Andy Dale Petty. The crowd was great, and really loved the show! This was Goodnight Loving's second show in Huntsville, and it's always great to see them. They'll also be back for this year's Bamalama Fest (CAN'T WAIT!)









Unfortunately, I didn't get a lot of photos on Record Store Day (Saturday) because we were so busy. The Dastardly Do Nothings, The Mosied Posies, and Christian James and the Coyotes (pictured below) played in-store throughout the day.





On Sunday, we had a BBQ with a few friends (and our bunny ears!) on our porch before the Nobunny and Rock N Roll Adventure Kids show in our store. Right as we finished grilling, the tornado sirens started going off. We finished the pre-party inside before heading up to the store. Luckily, we still had a great crowd despite the apparent false tornado alarm. Oh man...Nobunny, Nobunny...how much I love you. Let me count the ways! This was seriously one of the greatest shows I have ever been to. The entire crowd was hopping (yuk yuk) around to the music and signing along. Justin (Nobunny, himself) was excited to see that so many people knew the words and were having such a good time.
