WE had severs storms pass by us too last night. I think we are in the same area of the country more or less. I live in Mt. Airy, NC. Can you share with me what state you are in? Many of your post speak of places I am familiar with.
Frosting: I think I've posted this go-to buttercream before. It's 1/3 c. softened butter, 2 c. powdered sugar, 1 t. vanilla, 1/3 c. cocoa, and 2 or so T water. To get it nice and fluffy, use the electric mixer.
Hi, I tried posting this before I don't think it worked, so I'll give it another try ...
Just wanted to say that I love your blog, Anna. I really don't even know you, but your blog was passed on to me by a co-worker. Looking at your beautiful photos and creations is a bright spot in my day.
That sounds like a wonderful day. I am not to far behind you, I will be 40 in a few months. :) You inspired me to start running again, now training for a 5k. Thanks Paula
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

Love your BLOG!
I love blue.
Where was everyone else?
A perfect day and a precious memory...
What a luscious looking cake slice! May I ask if the frosting is homemade? If so, would Bella be willing to share her recipe? Thank you!
Yes, I'm 40 now!

Dress will show up this week--it's gorgeous.
Anna, Happy Birthday! You don't look a day over 32! May the Lord bless you always!
And thank you for sharing that recipe. I'm just going to copy it into a document and save it. I always forget to do that. Thanks again!
Oh, that does sound like a perfect kind of day.
Happy Birthday Anna.
Happy birthday Anna! It just gets better once you reach 40. :)

Such a beautiful day and post. I even read it aloud to my husband, which I never do.
Love how you share your talents with each other in such a special way. :-)
Happy belated birthday to you!
Blessings,
Katie
What a perfect day! We'd love to see pics of the dress. I had severe storms that day too. I'm in GA.
happy belated birthday!
