snips and snails or sugar n' spice?

sorry...no "puppy dog tails" here. it looks like it's gonna be "everything nice"!

meet ballard baby. i think she has my nose.

sorry charley...

5 years ago hurricane charley decided to bust through florida and attempt to wreak havoc on our wedding. while he succeeded in creating a sweating bride rather than a blushing bride (no air-conditioning during the ceremony); making us wait 6 hours in traffic back to tampa; not necessarily making, but definitely influencing my brother-in-law (not to mention any names...mike) to take a "short cut" only to be turned around half-way back, running out of gas and having kevin and i turn around for the rescue (what's another hour added on to the 6?); making us late for our own reception; and completely ameliorating the island we were supposed to go to for our honeymoon...he couldn't stop love in the end, baby! they say rain on your wedding day brings good luck...well we had a hurricane, so here's to the lucky years ahead. let the good times roll!

we went over to st. augustine and stayed at a cute little bed & breakfast

overlooking the bay. we enjoyed some great eating, shopping, and sight seeing.

casablanca inn. highly recommended.

the spanish fort.

as if we needed a reminder of our wedding day.
