Pictures of Avalon

Here are some pictures at last of Avalon...This was a wedding we had out there on May 3rd. They had a Hawaiian themed party because the bride was originally from Hawaii.


Here is our beautiful gazebo...


Here is part of their ceremony...






Here is view of the side of the deck...



Here is a view of the main part of the deck at night...


They put the lights across the open area of the deck and I thought that was really pretty. As long as you don't have any really tall people there... :)

Well...hope you have a great day!

Busy Week

Hello! We are nearing the end of a busy week and I am very glad! Darrin has been busy with Texas School of Professional Photography all week and was the editor for the Dark Slide (the daily newsletter for the school that is full of funny pictures and quotes). So he was busy from morning til late at night. I think I saw him every day for at least a little while so that is good! :) I have been feeding the birds for him and that is a good hour or two of time. But I enjoy them.

We had our sorority party out at Avalon this past Friday. They could not have alcohol at their party because they didn't meet all the regulations given out by their executive offices for the party (Apparently the security officers had to have a $1 mil liability policy and they couldn't find any commissioned officers with that kind of policy. We require off-duty commissioned officers in our contract for events where alcohol is served). But they still had their party. One of the guests was arrested and taken to jail for hitting his girlfriend. That was the only excitement of the night. We showed up Saturday morning and walked in the facility and found it to be very clean and smell very very good. They did such a good job at cleaning it. We told them they could have an event out there anytime they wanted to. We also had a bridal shower that Sunday that was very pretty. It was designed as a tea party and looked great!

We have a wedding this weekend and then two more at the end of the month. I will try to post some pictures soon. Our plants are getting bigger and are blooming in the flower beds and our roses look great.

Otherwise, things are great with us. Hope your weekend goes great!
