Three years today.  Oh my, how time flies! Some days he just gets me. Others, I feel like I need to hit him on the head with a frying pan so we can see eye to eye.  But how fun would it be married to someone who knows what I’m going to say before I say it?!

Is it sad the only time we pull out our camera is when we’re traveling?  Nonetheless, Europe was what we had been planning and saving for for years.  Aside from traveling, we’ve gotten to do a lot these past three years.  Both together and as individuals, and I am so happy with where we both are in our lives.  I mean, three years ago I would have never thought I’d be making dance videos and posting them on youtube…

We are going for earth tones in this room: greens, oranges, browns, soft yellows.  Ooh it’s going to be so warm and cozy I can’t wait!

I like to think my niece gets her sass from me, but this picture just screams her mom. :)

*side note* I don’t know why I feel so inclined to share this.  But as a child my mom would only let us have twenty pieces of candy.  That’s right, we came home with our pillow cases full, dumped all our candy on the floor and picked our most coveted twenty pieces.  The rest went to my dad’s work.  Somehow my sister could savor those twenty pieces for what seemed like weeks (when in reality it was probably one week), but I always devoured mine within the first two days. And I never once got a tummy ache.  Ha! I showed you mom!!

Some highlights:

• brand new, hand scraped laminate hardwood floors
• huge front living/dining room area
• single attached garage with TONS of extra storage space
• ideal central location (15 min to Provo, 30 min to SLC)
• master room has private bathroom
• condo complex has pool, hot tub, fitness room, theater room, garden slots, walking paths, plenty of playgrounds…

I disappeared the last half of the week and took off to San Fransisco.  Yes, the rumors are true.  Mick and I will be packing up our bags this Christmas and relocating to The City by the Bay.  Quite an exciting time for us.  For those of you who don’t know, Mick is one of the founders of Zinch.com, a website that helps connects high school students with colleges.  Things have been going very well for the company and we feel very blessed and honored to be a part of the changes.  I’m in a mad rush with my current clients to finish projects before I move, so blogging might be a little slow for me.

We will be living in the city, close to Zinch’s new office.  So if anybody has any advice or recommendations, we’d be glad to listen. :)

I’m really excited about this addition to my clientele and widening my market to Utah!!  I love what I do and it shows through my personal approach to each client & event. Life is for living in the moment, spreading love and laughing as often as we can!  I feel fortunate to be able to share my passion for making art and capturing the moment through photography.  I love shooting the candid and key moments that create an intimate record of your wedding day or your family at each stage of life.  Check my website and blog to see my recent work and contact me to check availability for your upcoming wedding, engagements or family session.  Utah clients who book in 2009 (for any date in the future) will receive a discount or product credit!!  Don’t forget to enter to be the lucky WINNER of this amazing giveaway!

Not very original, but it only took me about five seconds.  Now, my friends, BE WARNED: the pricing is not cheap.  With a combination of Jonathan Adler’s prices, custom, and wool materials, these rugs can get pretty high in price.  I don’t know if I’ll ever actually use this service for a client, but it’s still fun too play!

but that goes to this:

to this:

From the designer Dana Karwis’s website:

Party Dress functions as a pavilion worn exclusively by five women that seamlessly injects architecture into fashion by using the body as space. The dress begins as a shared, bustled garment that gradually unfolds to create a temporary, inhabitable structure. Each seam, each dress, and each body are interconnected by a single, amorphous surface of flowing material.

It’s pretty cool, but I just think of the five women.  Wouldn’t it be cumbersome to stand there all night?

And check out the yard…such a lovely sitting area.
