...okay, not really, but she went to her first college football game. Natty is short for Natalie, and she is one of Millie's favorite cousins. You might remember her from here. This TCU game was special. It was sweet to see Natty truly enjoy the festivities. Bounce houses, face painting, hot dogs, running on the football field before the game, meeting the cheerleaders, purple popcorn, high-fiving the team mascot, and being with your buddy...it doesn't get much better than that...am I right? Or am I RIGHT?!

...but I just can't. I waited a long, long time for us to get together again after rediscovering you on the internets (remember how I found you on Entertainment Weekly's site?), but you were not at all like you used to be. Where was your charm? Did you leave it back in 1993? Where was the subtle romance and the chemistry? I felt NOTHING. You couldn't even keep your facts straight on your story, Shady McShadypants. (I mean, did you graduate from Harvard FIRST in your class or FOURTH or FIFTH?)
I'll give you one more episode, The Firm, but after that, we are done-zo. Our next date is this Thursday, and you'd BETTER put out.

Because I am a sick, sick, twisted individual, I asked my family to participate in a strange science experiment today. At Sunday lunch at my mom's, we all sat staring at the gingerbread house we had created just weeks ago. We were ALL thinking the same thing. Now that Christmas was over and done with, just WHAT would become of our tiny mansion? Would it end up in the trash? We couldn't donate it to the Samaritan Inn Thrift Store like we do with everything else that becomes too tight/holey/faded or looks like it was worn by the cast of Saved by the Bell. I mean, we can't live in it, we can't wear it, and we can't ingest it at this point, so WHAT ELSE is it good for than an experiment? It took about 30 seconds of convincing, and then everyone was on board.
Starting today, January 8, 2012, the Meffords (and Nana...my mom) placed our tiny mansion out in nature to see what critters discover it. Will it last a day, a week, or a month? Which parts will be eaten first? (My guess is the awesome landscape job...gee, I wonder who did that part?) Will it get stolen by the punk teenagers who just moved down the street? Make your predictions below in the comment box, and I'll be updating my Facebook page daily to keep you in the loop.

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
Cause there was a time when all I did was wish,
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought a chance had passed
You go and SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST
Yeah. I wrote this for Gina + Jason to show them my love. Not really. It's a Vanessa Williams song, circa 1991, but as I was compiling the images for their slideshow and then ultimately this very blog post, I couldn't get those lyrics outa my head! Damn. It should have been the song I chose for their slideshow, but I had to go all "new" on it with M83's Reunion.
Anyhoo, I feel like I did save the best for last. I ended my wedding career on a COMPLETE high note! This wedding was full of personality and warmth, through and through, and Gina and Jason are tops, m' friends. TOPS. I love them dearly and feel that these images are like little gifts. Let's all help them unwrap them. Leave Gina + Jason loads of comments. We've gotta go out of the whole wedding photography thing with a BANG! Do it!

Beautiful couple and AMAZING photos, as usual, Miss Cake. So glad I got you to shoot my wedding before you retired! I know Bobby and Mills are so excited to have you home! Love you!
Debra Gulbas says:
Something about the post reminded me of the Seinfeld episode "Constanza leaves on a high note" episode. You can just throw your arms up in the air after this AWESOME wedding collection and say, "Alright, that's it for me!" Kate, I ALWAYS love your photos - no matter what the subject. They are like chocolate cake -- only without the calories!

No matter what the profession, only the very best have the guts to walk away when they are at the top of their game. You have outdone yourself once again - absolutely stunning pics! I can't wait to follow your next adventure!

Ok. Don't judge. These frames are from Millie's Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast which---I KNOW---was two months ago, but I've been L-I-V-I-N', y'all. I've been either working like a dog or have been SOOO on break that Bobby was considering checking my pulse. ON or OFF. Actually, more like ON or ASLEEP. That's how I do. But in all of my light-switchiness, I can always count on my Mills to keep me grounded. Little homegirl gives me perspective. I am so thankful for that. And, I have to say that I am SUPER thankful that she is a ham. Millie has personality for miles. I'm not really a fan of robot/yes-men children, so it pretty much worked out for me. I win.
Be honest and candid!
PS---I'm also thankful Millie has big blue eyes and freckles, loves fashion like it's going out of style (did you see what I did there?) and that she can imitate/mimic accents and voices better than anyone I know outside of Bobby. Now, show me yours!

Thankful that Jack's little cold wet nose nudges me everyday around 4:30 to tell me its time to step away from the computer and go out into the sunshine and play with him.
