It's SNOWING!

It's snowing... it's snowing! The weatherman told us we weren't going to get any snow, that it was going to pass us and instead we got 6 inches of snow! It was a very pretty snow to watch. The snowflakes were about 1 -2 inches big. My Dad did the "Polar Plunge" today like he has done the past 7 years. He said today was by far the coldest! We picked up my little brother so he could spend the night and that drive was the most stressful drive of my life. Our car did well but slipped around a bit since we only have rear wheel drive. The roads looked and felt like the plow only touched them once and, we didn't leave to get him till about 5:30 pm so the roads should have been okay. So, a drive that normally takes us 15 mins took us almost an hour. When we finally got home we played a game of "Monopoly" and they crushed me!

A fresh new start on life!

Drew and I said we're starting fresh! The past few months have been really stressful with his businesses and planning the wedding. We've been fighting a lot which is never a good thing but, especially not when you're only months away from getting married. I hate how money can tear you about the stress it can bring! I swear Drew's businesses are the best and worst thing that happened to us. I know we will pull through like we always do. We have a very special relationship and we know that we're meant to be together. So here is to a fresh start and learning how to deal with stress better!

Now a sour note!

About an hour we received a phone call from a Police Officer that our storage unit was broken into! I swear it's like we can't have one day of normalcy! We always have to have DRAMA!!! I know things could be much worst like they are in Hatti and I'm grateful for what we do have, it just seems like as soon as we get on our feet the rug is pulled out from under us every time! Our unit was one of 114 that were hit. My younger brother drove me up to check it out since Drew was stuck at work. When we walked up to our unit there wasn't even any lock on it. I got after the property manager so he gave me one of theirs and I have to go back up tomorrow with a new one! Since the lighting in those places aren't the best at all I can only tell it's a mess and there is a lot of broken items and a lot stolen like my really nice luggage set that we needed to use next month. Until we pull everything out we won't know the real damage but, I can tell were missing some of my camera equipment, our MAC, some of our summer clothes, and again it was dark so I dunno. ARGH!!!!! It looks like someone walked all over the boxes and they turned them upside down and broken more than they took I think. What also stinks is we only had a $2,000.00 insurance policy on it and I know more than that was taken and broken.

We drove around and saw the whole that was cut in the fence where they loaded up the truck. As you can see the videos and pictures are dark. So it looks like this weekend were moving into a better unit and a better company!

Will see what happen next!

The Apple iPad

Steve Job's did it again! I can't wait to get one of the iPads! It's like a iPhone on steroids! I love my iPhone and I know I would love this! Maybe it will be a birthday present?????

Big day for WFM

Today was a big day for W.F.M. as Drew and his brother meet with a possible new partner! This will be huge if this guy signs on. He has the background of growing one the biggest companies out there today. So fingers are crossed!

Remembering Belle

My Belle... forever missed! Binky was one of her best friends and he is missed too! They both were great dogs!

Me

Ke$ha Sebert

Wow! I've never met another "white" Takisha or Kisha and check this Blondie out!

She says her name isn't Kisha but "Ka-sha" which is very funny because that's one of the name's my great grandmother would call me when she couldn't pronounce my name. lol I think she is 22 or 23 and it's weird that I see a small resemblance. I have to say I think I'm prettier ;)

What do you think?

And look how Hollywood has changed her...

A New Year!

I believe this will be the BEST year of my life! I'm in the process of planing our wedding, which is coming up in May! I'm trying to grow my business and Drew is growing his (our...lol) businesses as well. We plan to buy a townhouse or a house in six months to a year and than the best part... we plan to get pregnant before the end of the year! The only sad part of 2010 that is the move of my sister's family to Arizona in June. That is going to be hard on all of us! In general I was happy with 2009, but am glad to see it go! I am looking forward to a busy, healthy, and exciting 2010!

Below are pictures form New Year's Eve. (soon to come)

Our 2009 Holiday Card

This card is slightly different than the ones we decided to mail out but, I still like this one. The night we decided to take our pictures we got all done up around 11 pm just to than get into our pajamas and watch a movie! That's the great thing about being photographer and having a home studio!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Happy Halloween!

So it's that creepy scary time of year again and we spent it with my family. Drew and I did homemade costumes again this year like we did on our first Halloween. I made my hat and broom the night before and Drew bought his giant spider that day. Oddly enough he

won best costume again at work! I made pumpkins for his employees with their names craved in them which was a lot harder to do than I thought it would be. For my employees I made a large pumpkin to hold candy along with a Starbucks gift card

and the winner of best costume won it. This year was the best turn out for my work, even the bosses dressed up. Later that day we made ghoulish dishes and met everyone at my sister's house My sister is always good with coordinating her families clothes and costumes but, this year had to be my favorite. I love the "Superhero" theme! Drew, Chris, Andrea, and I all walked the whole neighborhood with Chris and the kids. It was pretty cold on this Halloween and it started raining towards the end. You could defiantly tell we were in a recession by the decorations and lack of candy. The kids made out well since they live in a rather large neighborhood.

I just LOVE the FALL

These are pictures of some of the gourds and mini pumpkins we grew!

I can't wait to have a house!

As I've said many times the Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love these ideas for decorating your house and showing your festive side! The above photo is what I have done to our apartment so you can only imagine what I can do with a real house and yard. I can't wait till we move and have our house!

A New Record!!!!

Yesterday, Drew's business hit an all time high! We made $5,140.00 in one day! And, to think this business has only been up for a year now and were at the point. Awesome!!!!

The FALL Festival

Today Drew and I met up with my sister and her family to go to a local fall festival. The weather was beautiful and the rain stayed away till right before we left. There were a lot of cute crafts and yummy food! We treated the kids to some sweats and hopefully they wont be up all night. We took them to a trail that we use to walk all the time when we lived down there but, had to stop right before getting on it because there was a creepy homeless man on the trail just staring into space. And the girls didn't have a good feeling about him and didn't want to go. So we turned around after he walked on. My sister later told me that she noticed him following us for a little while and that fact that he go in front of us when he figured out we were heading towards the trail, she knew we could walk any further! She also said when my back and her husband's back were turned he was staring at the girls. What we didn't realize till later is that man is a criminal and he got into trouble last year with attacking a teenage girl so I called the Police and reported what happened and they said they were going to talk to him. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if something happened to anyone in my family, especially the kids! I hope that man never hurts anyone again! And, I hope other people call the police when strange things happen and they listen to their gut feelings!

They gave their Aunt a scare playing on the rocks!

My dream dog! Can you see how happy I am? Look how pretty and good she was... she let the kids put that wreath on her head and just laid there. I can't wait to get one!
