Have you ever seen "The Waitress"?

Welcome to my new re-vamped blog all about pies and maybe a few other things I figure out how to make along the way :)

It all started when my best friend & now sister-in-law, Kerren introduced me to the movie "The Waitress". Its hysterically quirky and fun and it's all centered around pies. I recently re-watched the movie and decided that I need yet another hobby to fill up my non-existent free time...I want to make pies, I want to be "The Pie Lady". Somehow I was able to convince Kerren to join me in this pie-making quest (seeing as how she's the one with all of the kitchen talent and she makes everything fun) and here is the result of our first trial pie run.


In honor of the movie, we bake according to inspiration.

Kerren's pie: Bleeding Heart Pie (Cherry, Chocolate Ganache Pie)

My pie: Wish There Was More Time In The Day For Chocolate, Pie :)

We decided to keep our recipes the old fashioned way!

This is our rolling pin that we signed... for good measure :)

Here is the result of nibbling...mmm... they were good!

Mr. & Mrs. Barker!

Joseph and I were married on September 20th of this year! The day was perfect and it even rained a bit (they say it's good luck). Other than that, we had blue skies and wonderful family and friends surrounding us as witnesses to our joyous day. I would do it all over again! Here are some photos - enjoy!

If you didn't know already... I'm getting hitched!!!

Here are a few of Joseph's and my engagement photos from a week or so ago. We've actually been engaged since March 28th...so we're a little behind on these. I am so thankful to have David Molnar photograph our wedding - he has already been such a blessing to us, we can't thank him enough for his hard work!

We're thrilled to be marrying each other on September 20th, 2008 :)

Steps toward a dream...

I think anyone who really knows me knows that I have an absolute passion for weddings. It doesn't matter whose wedding it is, I want to know the most intricate details of the day. I used to photograph weddings for about eight years and always wanted to do more. I decided that I was ready to move further into the wedding world and begin coordinating. I assisted several brides over a few years but I never really had the opportunity to study under a professional... until now :) I have been asked by A Delightful Day (www.adelightfulday.com) to join their team as an assistant! There was no way I could have turned the offer down, so it's official - I'm assisting Mary Alice Sublett and Amber Housley! God has truly blessed me with this job and I am so grateful to the Delightful Day team for asking me to join them in their adventure!
