One of these mornings, we'll be home.

Everything is beautiful

My heart is a bird whose thirst is quenched by a drop of dew. 

Thank you for this new day

You are the one who carries me

I am in your arms like a sleeping child

I know you will take me where I must go

Thank you, the path you choose is full of flowers

The Sun is rising to embrace us, my love.

Slumberland

We were so proud this weekend when our friend's movie, "Slumberland", debut at the Little Rock Film Festival and won the "Made in Arkansas" award.  They have been working on the movie for like three years now and we were happy to see the finished product for the first time up on the big screen.  Mark even makes an appearance in Murdock's birthday party binge drinking scene.  

Here are the stars of the film, Rhett and Dirty Zach.  Rhett is amazing.  He is a good friend and a good writer, and now I can say a good actor too.

The first time I met Dirty was Halloween 2005.  He was dressed as a diner waitress wearing a wig, short skirt with fishnets and tripping balls on chocolate mushrooms.  I knew that night he was a special guy.      

This is the director, John Shafer.  

I lost my phone at his house for 6 months.  He just recently found it in the lazyboy.

  

The guys plan on entering Slumberland in the SXSW Film Festival and maybe they'll be able to put something new together for next year's LR Film Fest.  Hopefully my part won't be cut out next time and I won't be asked to step aside when the paparazzi try to get photos of the cast.  

Last night we attended the last event of the LRFF at Dickey Stevens Park and watched "Field of Dreams" on a blanket in the outfield.   The weather was perfect and there is a beautiful view of downtown from the park.  Although I often complain about being bored here in Little Rock, I know I am lucky to live in a place where my friends and I can be successful at the things we love to do.    

I Hart Jones

After 10 years together, our good friends Kristin and Shaun finally took 

the plunge and got married last weekend.  Like every other day for the past two months, it rained non-stop and forced them to move the whole ceremony from outdoors in the Baker House garden to indoors at the NLR Chamber of Commerce.  Kristin and Shaun are pretty amazing people already and the rain inconvenience didn't seem to phase them at all.  I was way more freaked out by having to do photos inside than they were about all their plans getting changed at the last minute. 

Here is Kristin's Dad coordinating dry car rides for the wedding party from the Baker House to the Chamber.  

He also set up an amazing trolly ride for everyone after the ceremony.  

I have always enjoyed hanging out with the Jones family since I met them almost nine years ago, and was sad when they moved to Ft. Worth.  I miss the backyard fireworks, birthday dinners, and the "red light" game, but feel honored that they asked me to do photos for the wedding.  I have only shot a few weddings before this and definitely do not consider it a strong point but here are some of my favorites shots.
