2 Whole Years!!!

Time seriously flies by. Where does it all go? I swear it feels like Jeff and I have only been married 1 year. 

Yeah, but its been two. Yeesh! 

Well, we've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly and we still love each other... even more than when we started. 

We celebrated our little anniversary in Vegas. It was a fast trip and a long drive but over all a good little getaway. 

We stayed at the Encore part of the Wynn hotel and it was gorgeous! 

I seriously loved these garden sections they had. So pretty with all the lights and floral balls. 

We spent our time relaxing and exploring. 

One of my favorite things was when we went to eat at Serendipity 3 in Caesars Palace. 

Nom nom nom! 

The frozen hot chocolate you always hear about it TOTALLY worth the trouble!

The AMAZING frozen hot chocolate. I really wish I had some right now!

There you have it. Here's to 5 million more great years. 

CuTe LiSa'S bRiDaLs

My cute friend Lisa flattered me greatly by asking me to shoot her Bridals for her upcoming wedding. 

I immediately said yes and then excitedly told Jeff that we NEEDED to go get that camera we have been really wanting.

 Jeff loves gadgets so it wasn't very hard to convince him that we should get it. 

YAY! 

Let me just tell you how much I love MY...I mean...our.... new camera. 

L.O.V.E.

Any way, this past weekend I shot her bridals. She wanted them done at Joseph Smith Memorial building and we were lucky enough to have the rain stop long enough to get some wonderful ones outside with all the gorgeous flowers. 

Also, let me just give a shout out to my amazing and wonderful assistant Amelia. 

I LOVE Amelia!!! 

She is like a posing guru. She is so creative and knew just the right ways to pose our little Lisa.  

Here are some of my favorites. 

HaPpY bIrThDaY LoVeS!

April is a busy month for us. Easter, Freyja's birthday, Jeff's birthday and our anniversary. 

It definitely makes it go by fast. 

We have something going on every weekend. 

FUN!!!

Over Easter weekend Freyja turned 1. Yay! 

What a year it has been. 

I never thought I would be one of those crazy dog ladies,

 but I totally am. I am pretty sure I love her more than I will my own children. ;-) 

Happy birthday my 86 pound, fluffy lap dog! 

Now, this past weekend Jeff turned....34! 

Holy smokes I married an old man!! ;-)

On his birthday, Friday the 13th, I surprised him 

with an awesomely geeky birthday gift. 

The FX Darth Maul light saber.

 Yeah I think I am regretting encouraging this one....

on the other hand,

 doesn't he just look like a little boy 

with his bedhead and big toy? 

Later that night I surprised him with dinner at 

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. 

YUMMY! Seriously the best steak I have EVER had.

The fun doesn't end there!

 The next night, I threw him a little birthday party. 

We had a Thanksgiving feast for his birthday

 with some friends and all the Thanksgiving fixings. 

Such Fun! 

A big thank you to all who were able

 to come and play with us!!

Hutch and Chair Re-do

Finally it is here!!! 

I finished my hutch and chairs AT LAST!

This task took me WAY too long. I have been lollygagging for over a year now and finally got the motivation to finish them...a dinner party for Jeff's birthday. 

Well, in case you all forgot, here is the BEFORE of the hutch: 

 Not bad for $75 off KSL. 

Any way, I ended up painting a first coat of  Annie Sloan chalk paint in duck egg and then topping it with a coat of ASCP in old white. 

I then distressed it to let the blue show through. 

After much debate  I also decided to keep the inside duck egg blue and then line the back of the hutch with a really pretty scroll fabric. 

The end result was, in my opinion, worth all the work. 

As for my chairs....I cannot seem to find my before picture..ANYWHERE. It really is frustrating. oh well.

Any way, I decided to match the chairs to my hutch. So, I reupholstered the cushions in the same scroll fabric and painted the chairs in old white ASCP.  I also distressed them.

 Very shabby chic. 

Ta Da! Now I can move on to my next project...

Mwahahahahahaha!

PS...I apologize for the poor photos. I had very bad lighting. ;-)
