So I'm not sure about all of you... but I am eager to get the professional photos of our wedding. It was such a magical night and I can't wait to see how it was all captured by a "professional" photographer. All the pics from our friends and families have been wonderful... but, I don't know, I'm thinking the pro photos will be even better. Supposedly, they were mailed to us a week and a half ago from Mexico. Fingers crossed they come soon!
In the meantime, enjoy these pictures that I took of the flowers in our backyard. If Scott and I have green thumbs, we have not discovered them yet! I dream of one day getting in touch with a secret passion for gardening but it just hasn't happened yet. Our yard is going crazy with weeds and hay... but the beautiful thing is that the previous owners of our home were retired and apparently loved planting flowers. And without any effort on our part, millions of flowers are blooming everywhere (okay, maybe not millions, but I counted close to 30 varieties if you count the weeds that bloom). Pretty amazing. And even more amazing is the fact that if you look at these photos (notice they're all really up close) you wouldn't even know that our yard is infested with weeds. Woohoo!

(Yes, we are waiting for the pictures... but flowers are great while waiting... so here is another translation for our French family and for Americans, "Britts" and Dutch family and friends who may enjoy brushing up or learning french)
En attendant, des fleurs ...
Je ne suis pas sure que ce soit la meme chose pour vous ... mais j'ai hate de recevoir les photos de notre mariage. C'etait une soiree tellement magique et je suis impatiente de voir comment notre photographe "professionel" a reussi a la capturer.Toutes les photos de la famille et des amis sont supers ... mais, je ne sais pas pourquoi, je pense que les photos officielles vont etre encore meilleures. En principe, elles ont ete envoyees du Mexique il y a une semaine. J'espere qu'elles vont bientot arriver.
En attendant, j'aimerais vous faire profiter de mes photos des fleurs de notre jardin. Si Scott et moi avons un don pour le jardinage, nous ne l'avons pas encore decouvert. Je reve de me trouver un jour une passion secrete pour le jardinage mais je l'ai pas encore detectee. Notre jardin est envahi de mauvaises herbes et de paille, mais ce qui est formidable c'est que les anciens proprietaires etaient des retraites et il semble qu'ils adoraient planter des fleurs. Sans aucun effort de notre part, des millions de fleurs s'epanouissent partout (d'accord, peut-etre pas des millions, mais j'ai compte pres de 30 varietes si j'inclue les fleurs sauvages.) C'est vraiment surprenant! Encore plus surprenant est le fait que si vous regardez ces photos (a noter qu'elles sont toutes prises en gros-plan), on ne se rend meme pas compte que le jardin est plein de mauvaises herbes. C'est super!
Incredible! To see these images after recently seeing the yard in its larger state it amazes me your unique and perceptive eye for beauty. I would love to have a couple of the images to print out and frame. Love them!
