Hole in one!


Congrats to my mom for getting her first HOLE IN ONE today! I was at work and got this picture as a text message and I was so proud! Sorry for the lack in posts but we have been super busy as usual. Nick sprained his ankle last week pretty bad playing soccer but has been healing very quickly. Pibbs has been doing great out here and enjoying walks around our apartment complex and seeing all the other dog neighbors. I have been super busy with work and convinced my boss to do an awesome photoshoot with my friend Matt. We took a bunch of amazing pictures and ended the shoot with Matt in a a tux sitting in his hot tub filled with bubbles. We printed a sixty inch of it for outside of the studio... we think it might bring more people inside to see the other work! Things have been going great and we are looking forward to having my best friend Kristen come out on the 11th and then my Dad and brother Jamie are coming out on the 18th... now I just need to take a few days off so that I can hang with everyone. Nick has worked with the mens wearhouse for 5 years now so he is getting a sabbatical (sp?) which is 3 weeks paid vacation...not a bad deal! Hope you are all doing well and we miss you!

FYI my boss is 6"2

So Nick told me this great story today about how some people were a little confused with the picture posted below of my boss putting my new desk into the back of his car. Nicks mom (whose name will remain anonymous) though that Kevin was a "little person" which would be fine but he isn't. So just to clear things up the guy holding the desk in this picture is on a tall ledge and my boss is just standing on the ground and I have included a photo of him next to a normal sized woman just so you can get and idea of his scale. When I told my boss the story he laughed until he cried! On a more serious note my business cards came in today and they rock. xoxo

Long days

Hi everyone sorry for the lack of posts on the blog but we have been very busy. We just got memberships to the Y and Nick has been getting up early to play soccer in their indoor soccer fields, he usually has it all to himself! And I has been working 12 hour days and moving the photography studio from one place to another which is a workout in itself. Things have been going great aside from a pretty bad ear infection that Pibbs has been working through. Below is a picture of my new computer at work and a picture of the bulldog at the beach since he has started to feel better and another shot of the sunset on the drive home from work. It's funny but Nick and I always drive along the coast to get home instead of taking the highway...even though it takes much longer. I guess its worth it for a sunset like that! Hope all of you are doing great and we miss you.

And the earth quaked

Earthquake!

So a mini earthquake hit us last night at around 8:30...I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth and saw the glass shower doors start shaking and thought to myself that I work too much and I am seeing things...that or the lady that lives above us was really stompin around that night. But when I came out of the bathroom Nick looked like he had seen a ghost and said that he was laying on the bed and felt it rock back and forth and he thought someone was for sure under the bed and he was going to have to beat them up. It wasn't a big deal but they think some more might be on the way...don't worry we know how to swim if we fall in the ocean.

New looks

Not sure if we told you guys about how Nick is trying out a few new looks...let us know what you think...we are leaning more towards the pinched face look.




6 hours of shopping....

My boss and I spent six hours shopping today for new furniture for the new photography studio that we are moving into this weekend. Here is a picture of crazy Kevin who aside from having his picture taken...is a professional. The second picture is my new muy expensive desk being loaded into Kevins truck....I think it will go nicely with my brand new computer.  Tell me again how I got this job? Nick has been trying to get through prom season at work which has been annoying but the good news is that I can choose what days I want off so that means Nick and I can have days off together finally!  We spent a few hours at the DMV yesterday and I finally passed the written drivers test after my second try...I should get my Cali license in a week or two! We celebrated with snow cones and a day at the beach. Miss you all xo

Becca with her friend and her otter friend!

Just got an email with the best pictures ever! Becca and her team recently visited the Long Beach Aquarium and she got to hang out with some of these cool animals. Bec told me about the otter who quickly became her new best bud.  AcousticlyBaM (10:46:23 PM): i sat there with him while everyone else had to leave... we got to go up in little groups and i never left his side. and i got to do tricks with him and feed him his yummies for the day.. yahoo ...  
She also said that the woman at the Aquarium offered her an internship! So now all we need to do is find Bec a car and a place to stay in Long Beach at some point.

A day in LA

Today we headed up to LA with Katy (Lynnies cousin) to watch one of Becca's softball games at Loyola Marymount University. Her team played great this weekend and won the PCSC Title which you can read about HERE  The title was a huge achievement for the team and it also means a HUGE championship ring for Beccas finger...we couldn't be more proud of her. She is amazing to watch at these softball games and everyone always comments on how you can see her smile even if she is way out in the outfield. We finished up the day by heading into West Hollywood which Nick had never seen before and later told me "he never wants to see it again" so it looks like we wont be heading back to LA anytime soon. It was a fun day and even though we all came home with sunburns we were happy to see our Bec.

The Design District/Lynnie's new gig

It's official. Lynnie has a full time position at Coast Highway Photography on Cedros Ave in Solana Beach. Cedros ave is also know as the design district which is  2 ½  blocks of more than 85 shops and galleries. Check out http://www.cedrosdesigndistrict.net/ to see more info about this awesome place! You can also check out http://www.coasthighwayphoto.com/ to see some of the work that Kevin Conners (Lynnies boss) does. The studio will be moving down the street in a week or two which means Lynnie will be getting a brand new desk and computer... a desk job had to happen for her at some point I guess, but this one will be more than fun!
