Take me out to the ball game

Caleb and I love baseball. Growing up in small town, Kansas, we lived and breathed baseball and softball in the summer time. As a kid, I took, “you can be anything you want to be” to the max, plotting my future career as an MLB player. The plans didn’t exactly pan out. My twig arms never got strong enough to bench 90 pounds, let alone hit one out of the park, but that didn’t stop my love for the game.

As freshmen at the U of Kansas, Caleb and I fell in love (or at least like) on the intramural field. What can I say, the man has mad slow-pitch skills.

Last weekend we road tripped down to Atlanta to see the Braves take on the Phillies. I’d been dreaming about seeing a game at Turner field since I was 12, and it was just as cool as I expected it to be.

So, here we are in Atlanta, and just for fun, I’ll throw in a picture of us in Pittsburgh last summer (yes, we wore the Pirates hats that they gave us the entire game). Baltimore, you’re up next summer.

I’ve also got to give props to our own Durham Bulls for winning the AAA championship last night!

If you remember back in February, Cheyenne Schultz hosted a photography competition on her blog, and Caleb and I were the lucky winners of a photo session with Cheyenne and Geoff. Recently, they came over from Charlotte to photograph our session in Durham. Thanks so much, you guys!

You can check out Cheyenne’s blog here.

I spotted this old truck last summer and had it tucked away in the back of my mind for the perfect occasion. Cheyenne did an awesome job with it. I love these.

I need your vote!

The rocking Charlotte-based wedding photographer, Cheyenne Schultz hosted a Valentine’s photo competition on her blog last week. Because I am Valentine’s Day’s number one fan, I jumped at the chance to dress Caleb up in a pink tie to create an awesome photo (first, I had to buy the pink tie and then promise that I would never ask him to wear it again).

Now, dear blog readers, I need your help. Voting is taking place today over on Cheyenne’s site and I desperately want to win. So, please take a minute to pop over and vote for us! Vote here UPDATE: Thank you so much for your votes. Our photo won the competition: check it out here.
