Good Times

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

BFF TimeSo just when I think things will slow down, they don’t… but this time it was a good thing.

My trip to Boston was followed by a visit from a good, old friend. I met Nancy when I was 12 when my family and I moved into the apartments her mom used to manage. I had only been in the states for two years and she became one of my first close American friendships that has lasted to this day. We had so much fun in that old, dark apartment building. Our summers were spent at the pool performing our very own choreographed synchronized swimming routines. When not in the pool, we were performing our very own choreographed dance routines to Milli Vanilli in the rec-room. In between all that choreography we managed to break up once, but our mothers quickly brokered an intervention and our friendship was back on.

She now lives in Seattle, WA….. far, far away… but our friendship remains. We’ve been long distance friends since the 90′s but we always manage to pick up right where we left off. We’ve experienced happiness, sadness, loss…. you know, life. This past weekend I had the honor of spending the whole weekend with her. She flew in for a much needed getaway and we soaked up every second we could. We ate, laughed, danced and even squeezed in a few shots. Thanks to my neighbor Diome of Diome Photography, we were able to capture some great moments. Here’s to great friendships!

We are * Superstars *

Picking Up The Pieces

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

The last few weeks have been insane. I had to travel to Boston for a conference and that was an adventure all on it’s own, I’ll be posting pictures for that trip soon.

While I was gone my computer’s hard drive “had a heart attack” according to the techie guy and I lost everything. And because I like to make things interesting, I hadn’t backed anything up for a few, long months. Needless to say, I lost some great photos. Lesson learned, back up your data EVERY DAY!!! I’m in the process of getting all my software up and running, so in the meantime I want to post a few pics I took with my phone.

When I drove my daughter to school yesterday the sky was full of energy. Lighting bolts were hitting the mountain right in front of us, and the clouds, to die for! Nothing excites me more than puffy clouds in the sky (ok, a few things do). Happy Wednesday!
