Wild about Wicked

If you ever get the chance to see Wicked, you should. It's phenomenal! I've been going to operas and musicals since I was little, and this one definitely makes it into the top 3. The story was so much better than I thought it would be. I almost cried at the end because it was so great.
Brandon had a ticket, but since he's already gone to Seattle, it was basically an all girl excursion.


I spent much of the weekend going out with my Mom, Aunt, and sisters getting dinner, pedicures, and seeing a movie(State of Play is sooo good.) No kids or husbands whining in our ears. We even dressed up cute and all wore high heels. Sometimes you just need to go out with your female posse lookin' hot to trot. It was so so so fun. What a great distraction for me.

You must look at this!

I was just browsing on the net and found the cutest blog ever! It's a woman named Daisy that posts shabby chic pictures, and it's the most darling stuff I've ever seen. You must look at it! www.daisypinkcupcake.blogspot.com

Feeling Bummed

Brandy left yesterday morning, and I'm feeling it. I burst into tears whenever anyone asked about him, which was super embarrassing since it was Easter and I was surrounded by people all day. Overall, my family wisely steered clear of the subject so it wasn't too terrible.

I was trying to be really positive about my job before, but now I can't stand it. It's the only thing keeping me from being with my sweetheart, and I hate it! I just want to be done already. I feel bad because I can tell I'm not shooting as well or as fast now. One nice thing is my mom's going to drive up with me to Seattle and stay for a few days to do fun stuff. She's pretty rad like that. And, right after my last day of work we're going to Vegas for the weekend to shop and play. And since my birthday is that week, it'll be a nice present for me. So things aren't really that bad. I just have to stick it out for a month. yeash.

A Fun Thing

So I've been getting fun Twilight shirts from this website, CafePress.com, and I wanted to find a fun Harry Potter one. Surprisingly, they don't have many. So I decided I would design my own and have it printed from that site. Here's my design. I quite like it considering it's what I named my photography blog a year ago. I'm just getting a v-neck white tee I think and it will have the griffin stamped on the back, small, just below my neck. The best part about designing my own shirt is, it's cheaper than the ones already on there! Awesome! You should try it!

p.s. Obviously, my shirt doesn't say my name on it. I just didn't want anyone to rip off my sweet design.

Did I mention...

We're moving to Seattle for the Summer?...

Well now you know. Brandon leaves in a week and a half, and I will join him May 13ish. I have to finish my seasonal job. Blah! I want to go now!(picture me stamping my foot like a two year old.)

I'm about peeing my pants thinking of all the amazing pictures I'll be able to get up there. I've asked for a camera backpack that fits 4 lenses, 2 camera bodies, and a tripod for my birthday. It even has a rainfly that pops out of the bottom. Neato burrito. I want to be ready for anything at all times.

If anyone has ever been to that area, I would love some input on things to see and do. I've only been as high as Portland. We'll actually be living in Puyallup/Tacoma, which is about 30 minutes south of Seattle.

And don't worry, I've already mapquested how far away Forks(remember how I mentioned I might be a bit obsessive?...) is from where we'll be. It's like 3 hours so I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen, but one can dream. Anywho, now you know and you can be jealous. Go ahead.

You know you picked the right present when...

A) Gracie riding her new rocker from me and Brandy.

B) Lilly trying to share in the fun.

C) Gracie dragging Lilly off by her pjs.

D) Gracie dragging Lilly off by her hair yelling,"Birthday Present!"

E) Gracie running away with her rocker.

Need I say more?

My reward

I found these on my porch. They were left by that man's company that I called 911 for with a thank you card. They are so beautiful and fragrant. The big flowers are literally like 7" across. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
