Trash the Dress!

It was Thanksgiving Day. I had spent my morning cleaning the house, making rolls, pies and brownies, all in anticipation of 22 people coming over. Needless to say, I had worked my butt off! During Thanksgiving dinner, I started talking with my husband's cousin, Charity, and we decided we needed some play time! I had bought this wedding dress back in March from a second hand store, and wanted to do a "trash the dress" photo session with it. Charity had been working hard at school, (she's in the nursing program!) spending all her spare time in the library, she needed some play time too! So, we decided to go do a photo shoot after everyone left! It was so much fun! Also freakin' cold! I think the high that day was maybe 20 degrees. I had a hat and coat on, and I still think that's the coldest I have ever been! I can only imagine what it was like for Charity! My hands were numb, (I forgot to wear gloves!) and Charity's arms were numb too! We happened to find this train on our way to the photo shoot, and we decided it was perfect. Seeing as this is a public blog, I won't go into details about the train and the barbed wire fence surrounding it.
