bliss

this weekend, marks wedding weekend for our great friends steven mueller and julie long. ryan has been friends with steven for a LONG time and steven is actually how i met ryan. when i worked at camp in santa cruz, i worked with steven at camp a few times and then hired him for the whole summer in 2004. that summer he would talk on the phone some to his friend ryan and he spoke highly of him. the following summer, ryan joined steven on the summer staff and i was only able to attend for one week. that week did it for us i guess. we were both dating other people at the time, but within a few months those relationships were over and we were spending a lot of time together. steven at the time was dating my roommate (i guess i shouldn't talk about things like that the weekend of his wedding, but it's part of our history!) and would come to fresno to hangout almost daily. ryan would tag along to hang out and he and i would end up spending much time in conversation and hanging out. the rest is history....

now, it's steven's turn. he met julie up on the kings river working as river guide two summers ago and he's been happier than i've ever seen him since that day. ryan is a groomsman and i can't wait to see the "beach bum" married his beautiful bride.

last night was the rehearsal dinner, tonight ryan is hosting the bachelor party at our house (i doubt there will be photo evidence of any of that), and sunday evening is the MAIN EVENT!

i'm looking forward to sharing in their day, as well as looking forward to hanging out with old friends from camp. it will be a great time and i can't wait to share photos on monday.
until then, i have to go clean house for a group of boys that will just destroy it in two hours flat!

being new home owners there are always "projects" to be done. the past few weekends as the weather has been getting nicer those projects have been outdoors. ryan usually digging, planting, pulling, weeding, mowing or sweeping and me... well, i photograph it all. it's the part i enjoy. and this last weekend as i felt i should get dirty and dig a little he consistently asked me " you want me to do that?" so i'm guessing i either looked way out of my element or i wasn't doing it "right". i'll stick to the photographs or maybe i'll sleep in next time. :) i enjoy my role. our herbs are begining to sprout this week. we're still debating on the garden. we were all go this weekend and then stopped to figure out how to get rid of the grass that is where we want the garden. when we couldn't come up with a "simple solution" we opted out of the garden and bought flowers for the front yard. now i think we have a solution so we migh...

My Love

Image
My poor husband has had a rough few weeks so I thought I'd send him a bit of encouragement via our blog. What makes me ♥ love ♥ MY Love: His willingness to help an old lady load her car in the grocery store parking lot His humor The animal lover in him The way still sticks out his lower lip when he's bummed about something That he can BBQ a tri tip steak like it's nobody's business. That he notices when I clean house He's HOT! How he calls his family often just because That he does all the vacuuming at our house That he reads the blogs I write and will compliment me on them That he rolls his eyes when I turn on HGTV, but when I'm not in the room he'll turn to it That he'll walk up to a service man or woman in uniform in public & shake their hand & thank them for their service. That he'll sacrifice a Saturday to plant flowers for my 78 yr old aunt just so she won't do it herself. That after a knock down drag out argument he will apologize ...

New Blog Design

Do you like it? Mariah had a giveaway on her blog awhile back awarding someone a new blog design and button and I actually won! At the time I had no clue what I actually wanted and was in the midst of a photography class and didn't really have the time to spend figuring it out. Well, she was patient with me and even let me take the photos for my header and she put them all together to make them look GREAT! Thanks again Mariah , I love it. Feel free to grab my button over on the left... I have one now!
