Welcome to the photo blog... *finallogowhite25.jpg
Here's where I chat about photography (SURPRISE)...  weddings (of course)... helpful ideas I hear about...  and cool things I find along the way. 

Things you can expect from me...
    Laughter (I write how I talk if you haven't noticed.. :)
    Advice (I don't claim to be an expert...but I do claim to hear expert ideas and share them)
    Stories (but only good ones)
    Contests (gotta keep you guessing somehow..)
    Cheers (meaning good wishes to good people I meet)
    ... and a little bit bit of babbling (but hopefully always ending with a big laugh)

While this blog may not be perfect in color, shape, or words . . . I promise, it'll all be written from the heart! More than anything else... I hope that you have fun, get inspired, enjoy reading and maybe even gain a little knowledge along the way (that I'm not promising though)...  

I'm so glad you've somehow navigated your way here.  Now... don't forget to bookmark it..  and come back and visit again!! 

Love,
A

Today I said goodbye (for now) to my new favorite dancing queen little miss Lexi  and of course Katie & Luke.. who I cannot wait to see again in the states.

On my way to Luxembourg I had a great 2 hour tour of Brussels with Susan which included an AMAZING Belgium lunch, chocolates, cookies and a quick running tour of all the important pretty buildings... (obviously I have to return)... but it was great

Then,,, it was on to Luxembourg where I walked into a home that smelled amazing!  Emily made the best dinner before we went for a great walk into the old center of town and had a Kir Royal at a local pub.

Tomorrow.. who knows...  a little touring of Luxembourg... possibly a trip to Germany... but whatever it is lots of pics for sure... of course!

Love,
A

BTW.. .notice the pic of ChiChi's .. really in Luxembourg... I didn't even think they still had them in Michigan...

I must say this trip really has been very little about seeing the "sights" visiting museums... you know the usual "touristy things".. and all about walking the streets shooting lots of pics... DEFINITELY visiting with friends.. and EATING.. I swear that is all I have been doing. Well today, Katie, Luke, and Lexi... continued with the trend with their own little "food tour of Antwerp".. or should I say SUGAR tour of Antwerp.. from Beligium Waffles... to cookies.. to candies... and OF COURSE Belgium chocolate... these pics may not be so pretty but they sure are funny.. .and will probably give you a cavity just looking at them...

In true Detroit style... we're heading out at 2am to go watch the Redwings game... SOOO STOKED.. just trying to get this last blog entry in so I can catch a tiny bit a sleep before...

Then tomorrow off to Brussels for lunch and on to Luxembourg to meet up with Emly & Gerry!!

I'll take one of everything!! Never knew I could get such a craving for sweets from pictures, but your pictures captured everything so well, I could almost smell the chocolate...

So this was a completely unexpected stop along my European Adventure... about a week or two before I left the states.. I discovered on the wonderful world of Facebook that my dear dear long lost friend from college Katie (and her adorable family Luke and little Lexi) were living in Antwerp for the year...

I talked to her for the first time the night before I arrived and it was like no time had past we were still the two sweet talkative giggling girls we were ten years ago... its hard to believe that its been that long

So after a few hours of catching up over some strange Belgium liquor we wondered into the streets with Lexi for a little tour of the city.  I'll admit I really had no idea what to expect from this city ... I thought it was some big industrial city but boy was I wrong its flipping adorable.
