Strike a Pose

After we stopped feeling dizzy from all the roller coasters, we were supposed to have our engagement pictures taken with Skye Blair Photography. Unfortunately, the week we picked had rain the forecast for the entire week. So, the day we had scheduled them, it of course was overcast, thundering, and just looked plain yucky during the afternoon. Skye and I decided to postpone them for a week and keep our fingers crossed. (Of course by the time we would have been doing our pictures, it was BEAUTIFUL!)

So, last week we met Skye downtown at Coolidge park and took our engagement pictures. We started at 7:30 and finished up at around 10:00. So we have plenty with sunlight, dusk, and night time. We had so much fun playing in the park and being models for a day. We also went over to Bluff View Art District and took pictures with all the gorgeous scenery up there and got a few shots at the actual spot where Josh proposed. We had so much fun and are still waiting for our disc of images. I know they are going to be beautiful and I will cherish them forever. And I promise, as soon as I get them, they will be posted so that everyone can see them. But for now, here is a little sneak peak.

Loop-de-Loops

The week after we saw Stephen's band play, Josh and I decided take a spur of the moment trip to Six Flags. We got to the park around 1:00 and spent all day riding roller coaster after roller coaster. After 8 hours of being at the park, we had been on every roller coaster, except one. The Georgia Cyclone was the only one we have left, and if you are not quite so familiar with that one, its the old wooden one by the front gate. Lots of fun, but beats you up. We decided that since we already got beat up on The Ninja, we would skip the Georgia Cyclone.
It was a perfect day. Not too terribly hot and the lines were the shortest I have ever seen them. The longest wait for a ride was only about 30 minutes. I think at one point we waited in line longer to get a drink than for any of the rides. The best part was watching Josh on Superman. He had no idea what he was in for and I just laughed the whole time we were on the ride. All in all we had an absolute blast going fast speeds, upside down, and just being with each other. It was a great break from all the wedding stuff we have been taking care of on our days off. We are already talking about going back and maybe even getting season passes for next year.

Ded Baby Robots

About 5 weeks ago, Josh and I went to see our friend's, Stephen, bank at The Honest Pint. The night started with a band called Baby, Baby. They played 4 or 5 songs and jammed out to each one. The lead singer cracked me up the whole time with his facial expressions as he was singing. But they were pretty good, and Josh really liked them so we ended up buying one of their CD's for $5. Then it was time for Ded Baby Robots, Stephen's band to set up and start playing.

If you like jam bands, this is the band for you. They write their own music and love every second they get to play. Stephen is an amazing guitarist and his vocals are really good as well. I had no idea he had so much talent. We danced and had a blast watching them play. After they finished their set the band Machines are People Too got ready to play. Unfortunately, we couldn't stay to listen to them, but I have heard nothing but good talk about this band. They even get to play a set at Nightfall in the next couple of weeks.

Here are some shots of Ded Baby Robots. Forgive the quality, they were taken from Josh's phone. And we did have some video, but it has gone missing since then; which means you just have to be on the lookout for when they play again around town. Trust me, this is a band that has some special and it's a great time to see them play, plus you get to have a night out and support local musicians, what could be better?!
