Virginia State Fair with Hollie D. Photography

My wonderful, super talented friend Hollie took some great photos of us at the state fair. If you haven't had a chance to look at her work, check her out HERE. Once you check her out, I know you'll want to book your session at the fair next year-and any photo sessions you'll ever want to take again! We are so happy to have Hollie in our lives. She has taken photos of us that I will treasure forever-couple photos, engagements, wedding photos-wedding photos-and more wedding photos... post wedding photos, and now-at the fair! 

Thank you, thank you, thank you Hollie for such wonderful pics, and we had a blast with you!

Okay, okay, on to the goods....

My brother is all grown up!

For the past year, my brothers David and Dylan have been living in Blairsville, Pennsylvania and going to school at Wyotech. I'll say its to learn about fixing cars because I know nothing about cars, but I know they learned more than that. This past weekend was their graduation. David decided to walk and I am so glad he did! We made the trip up there-it is COLD in PA in case anyone was wondering....I wore jeans and long sleeved shirts and sweatshirts the entire time aside from the graduation ceremony. Blairsville is a TINY town in PA in the mountains. They have a Walmart...that's about it. I am happy to say that I actually got to see the boys almost every weekend. They came home quite a bit since there is not much to do up there. After doing the 5+ hour drive, I'm not sure how they did it! 

I am SOOOOO proud of them and all they've accomplished this year!  Little David is all grown up and I guess eventually I need to stop calling him Lil' David because he's clearly grown up. I can't believe the baby I used to carry around the house and pretend he was mine is now a college graduate. 

All grown up!

This is from his HS graduation in 2009. I found it funny that we took a similar

See?  :) Love him!
