Evening Walk

It's just hard NOT to constantly go for walks around here.


Surveying the surrounding beauty
New dance moves? I like 'em!

Eddie's new kilt

We finished Eddie's kilt and and fly plaid, and are now working on the shirt to go with it. This is what is planning on wearing to our upcoming wedding. :-) (With our unfinished house in the background, hehe)

Va Ren Faire, closing weekend

It's been a little over a year now since Eddie and I met at the VA Ren Faire at the Lake Anna Winery. This was the second time we had gone back this year, the first being on the anniversary of the date we met, May 26, 2006. It was an eerie feeling (in a truly awesome way) to re-visit the spot where it all started. What an amazing year it has been, too, with so many ups and a lot of downs, too, we made it through it all together. Thank God.




That's my love. :-)




We had a visitor awaiting us on our porch swing when we got home that night. :-)

Gaelic Storm at the Birchmere

Brynn actually got all of the excellent photos of the band, hehe,
I was too busy dancing.

The new space

We have our work cut out for us! Grabbin a bite to eat as we start to unpack Ceilidh chillin' on Eddies feet :-) Our side view from the living room... From the front bedroom (currently a store-room, hehe) There is still much to be finished. It's great fun though! The just-moved-in look of our bedroom :-) The front bedroom...this house is SO old... The backyard fully overgrown Holy moly, will you look at that grass! Can we say Jurassic Park? Duhn duhn duhn duhn "Does our push-mower have enough HP for this grass?!" Ceilidh expressing her profound glee at being out of the city at last Our first pic outside our new home..still looking like Jurassic Park in this shot though

Home sweet home.... :-)

We moved out here one dark and stormy night (pardon the cliche!) in early June and awoke the next morning to a crisp clear-blue day to find ourselves surrounded by the most breathtaking views of unsurpassed beauty.
Like little kids on Christmas morning, we scrambled out of our slumber, itching to get outside and explore our new horizons.





Oldragon (Old Rag Mountain)












Our neighbor's field just around the corner from our house...


Same field, different elevation. It reminds of living in Vermont,
I feel so at home. :-)













Messy morning curls...hehe
