Can you say “KICKING MYSLEF?” OMG..we were invited to a small wedding of our good friend’s daughter this past weekend. It was in the late afternoon and not a clue it would be any different than an average wedding celebration.

I grabbed my Canon 40D two different times and both times said “nah”….it will just be in the way and I will be in the way as well with my white stick and camera trying to take pix.

Well the minute we arrived at this stuning park on the outskirts of Portland Oregon I turned to Steve and said DANG DANG DANG…the photo opportunity of a lifetime. All the wedding party were in fairy wings !!!!!!!!!! Arrrrrrrrrgh!!

So thank goodness for the iphone . I became the official iphone wedding photographer and the REAL photographer was having a ball.

I so envied her having a REAL camera ….but with that said, I did catch some fun moments with a lot of old school grain that added to the medieval feel.

AND OF COURSE THE BRIDE WAS HAVING A “FLING” AT HER WEDDING!!!

I’ll tell ya…Steve and I had such a great time last weekend buying a car!! We drove everything from sporty little coupe’s to boxy utility vehicles.  From our favorite color (and Blings) Orange to red to everything inbetween.  When it came down to it the car we  loved the  most only came in neutral colors and black………so we went totally STEALTH…black car..black leather, black windows!!

This is our new Honda Accord EX-L Sedan  V-6…waiting for the paperwork to get done!!

Here is Steve and our super nice sales guy figuring out the GPS and Bluetooth system.  Wow things have changed a lot in the 4 years since we bought the Escalade.  Love being able to talk hands free from the cell phone.  Felt like an episode of Night Rider!!  David Hasselhoff..eat your heart out!! His talking car “Kitt” has nothing on our GPS gal…… LOL

While we were out test driving cars today, Bling took it upon herself to wander off and surprise us with her lovely new purchase.  Now she’s on mission to get an orange scented air freshner thingie to hang from the rear view mirror and I’ve heard giggles and whispers between her and Fling Fling about a new car bra and seat covers too…whoopie cushion style!  An orange crate trailer isn’t out of the question eithher

She stole our thunder to say the least but our new car will be cool too.  Will update here with some iPhone shots from the car lots today.  We are keeping a short leash on Bling…shes got a mind of her own.!!!

YES WE ALL HAD FAR TOO MUCH FUN FOR ONE DAY AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE VIDEO BELOW
