The Book

I just made an amazing discovery and thought I should share! =) I was on facebook and saw a link to a group about this new book called... "The Book new testament." It's a magazine style bible illustrated with modern edgy photography and written in magazine style columns. This is sooo me! Such a cool thing for all of us artsy people that connect with God on an artistic level. I am definitely adding this to my christmas list!

Check it out!

Tonight I went to the Woman's Christmas dinner at Cornerstone Fellowship. It was really weird to be back there since we no longer attend Cornerstone. I was glad I went though. Meagan was so sweet and bought me a ticket. Thanks Meagan! Her table looked so gorgeous! I just got my new camera in the mail right before I left so I took it with and shot some pictures of her beautiful table!

Things have been soooo crazy lately. I've been to Texas and back for a wedding, we moved from dublin to mountain house, celebrated my 25th and todd's 30th bdays and....we got a dog! We have been very busy and I must admit Im almost ready to fall over from all the craziness. Im so thankful though for the house that God provided for us. We had a stressful month before we moved. The house we were supposed to move into fell through leaving us with no house the week we were supposed to be moving out. We prayed a lot and trusted that God would provide and he did! Of course. This house is better than we imagined and we're soooo blessed. Not only are we saving a lot of money but we get to live in a house in a great community. We love going on walks and riding our bikes since we have tons of trails and parks only blocks away from our house. I even built a home gym in our garage.
We had a busy but fun weekend. We hung out with our good friend Meagan and Garrett yesterday and took our dogs to a park in Livermore and had a picnic. It was so chill and fun. We just ate our food, sat and talked, played by the playground and soaked up the sun. =)

Disney World!

After a long and VERY busy summer Todd and I went on a much needed Vacation to Disney world! It was very fun! Boy was it hot though. I wouldn't recommend going in the summer. It was soooooooooo humid and gross. We stayed at Disney's Caribbean Beach resort and we visited all the parks Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and spent one morning at Typhoon Lagoon water park. Lots of walking people!! Here are a couple of our photos from the magic kingdom!

A couple weeks ago we went on the U.S.S. Hornet to see the Glen Miller Orchastra. It was so much fun...except for my painful high heels!! Haha. We dressed up for the occasion, went out for mexican food (my ultimate favorite) and hung out with good friends! The band was awesome! It was so cool to see everyone dressed up.

It has been way too long since I have written. I need to do this more often! Life kind of caught up with me. Our business is doing really well. I cannot wait until I can do it full time! So far we have 6 weddings this year and have had many portrait shoots. I will attach some of our recent wedding photos. This is our new logo.... website coming soon!!! My husband is so talented =)

We celebrated our 1 year anniversary in March! They are right when they say the first year is the hardest! If you really want to know who you are inside and out GET MARRIED! I learned a LOT about who I am. God is teaching me so many lessons all the time! I'm pretty stubborn so you know it takes awhile for them to sink it but I'm learning! Patience and unconditional love are big lessons for me! Todd is such an amazing husband. He's so kind and caring. God has really blessed me with him.
2 weeks before our anniversary Todd's company sent him To Las Vegas for a company convention. They put us up at the 4 seasons in a massive suite! It was so much fun! The second and third night we stayed at the Venetian. I love the Venetian! We ate lots of good food, went to see STOMP and did lots of shopping and walking around. I won $65 on the nickel slots! That was fun. I know I'm such a big gambler! =) It was fun but also sad for me to see so many people in Vegas who were there for all the wrong reasons. It's sad to me that there are so many woman there selling their bodies for entertainment. Such is the world we live in now a days.
I'm still nannying for the boys. The oldest is 6 1/2 and the youngest is 3 1/2. They are a real handfull!! Its enough to make me want to wait awhile for our own kids. I know having my own will be much different than raising someone else's kids. I love them a lot but I know I'll love my kids the most! =) We just got back from the pool. They are napping so I get a little break! Phew!
Well I'm off for now. Even when I'm taking a break I'm usually working.... Photography editing, printing and all that is involoved in that keeps me busy a lot!! Below I will post some pics I took recently. They will be wedding, portrait and event photos. Enjoy! I will write soon!!

Roadtrip to Southern California

My good friend Candace and I took a road trip down to Irvine and Anaheim to visit some high school friends and go to Disneyland!! We had a blast. Disneyland looked so beautiful in all it's Christmas glitz and glam. Enjoy the pics!
