What I've been up to...

So I'm taking a photography e-course on Photoshop Elements.  Brett gave me PSE9 for Christmas, and Rachel suggested I take this class to lean some basics.  PSE looks awesome, but SUPER overwhelming to a newbie like me.
The above picture was taken of us last summer by our wonderful photographer, Crystal, the mastermind behind Crystal Ball Photography.  It was taken in the Curran Apple Orchard Park right across the street from our house.  It's a special place to us, and we love all the pictures Crystal took of us here, especially by our adopted apple tree.  Anyhow...I was doing my "homework" on this photo tonight, playing with "blending modes", "textures" and "adjustment layers".  I have about "this" much knowledge of what I just typed, but it sounds good, right?  And I love the way our picture turned out kinda "retro/vintagey" looking.
