Thursday Thursday…

Heather — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 01:52:56 +0000

Thursdays are my normal day off. By “day off” I mean I am not at my “real” job and I spend the day getting everything else done. I take my alone time and split it between everything that needs to be done for the business (processing photos, answering clients, advertising, etc.) and everything that needs to be done in my personal life (running errands, cleaning the house, etc.) This Thursday, I began my day with cleaning, going to the gym, and doing my usual bank, post office, and grocery runs. I had been trying to find time to get out in the nice spring weather and take some pictures. I figured this would be the prime time to do that. I parked my truck along a side street in Barnegat and began walking up route 9. I was amazed at the photo opportunuties that I was presented with. Although I got a lot of stares, (I mean how often do you see someone walking up a highway taking pictures of nothing?) it was so much fun! I had no idea what kind of neat places and things I would find. Here are some of the highlights of my journey.

Happy Easter!

We would like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy Easter! Enjoy the chocolate bunnies and peeps…because we know we will. Thanks Mom for the Easter eggs.

Exciting Evening

We are in Delaware for the weekend for Easter and for birthday weekend! Mom and I both have birthdays this weekend. We had just finished dinner when dad got a call from the police saying he was needed at his place of business due to an arrest in progress. We all hopped in the car to witness the event. Upon leaving the property, we noticed a cute little carnival across the street. Mom and I were commenting about how long it had been since we had been on carnival rides and figured “what the heck?” and hopped on one of our favorite rides. Dad got to have his cotton candy, Alex got to take tons of pictures, and Mom and I got to giggle like little girls on the Himalaya. Fun was had by all.

Happy Birthday Reagan!

April seems to be a very big birthday month for us. Our friends, Nick and Carrie, threw a party for their daughter Reagan last Sunday for her 3rd birthday. We don’t get to see them much and were shocked to see how much Reagan has grown up. Happy birthday Reagan!

Happy Birthday Heather!

Heather turns 25 this year so we decided to throw a nice “Quarter of a Century” for her. Since her birthday was on Easter Sunday this year, and we will be away, we decided to throw it last Saturday. Between the yummy Filipino food, Guitar Hero World Tour, and all of our friends there, we had a blast!

Heather, I just want to say how happy I am to be married to you and wish you many more birthdays so we can grow old together. Love you Sweetie! Mow.

A Fantastic Find

Alex — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 23:17:49 +0000

It has been said that you can find treasures in the most unusual places…Since we were free for the day and the weather was unseasonably warm, we debated going to the flea market. Since all the snow had just recently melted, we knew it would be so muddy there, so we had second thoughts. All morning we went back and forth. Do we go? Finally, when we knew it was getting late and it was our last chance to go, we decided to risk it. Since I am a huge fan of yard sales, the flea market is always a treat. We went up and down the aisles finding nothing we felt was worthwhile, but having a great time just checking everything out. All of a sudden, there it was…a Polaroid 80A. This camera was made from 1957 to 1959 and retail price was $72.75. I would imagine that was a lot of money at the time. Although we discovered that the film will go out of production in 2009, we will still treasure it as a true antique. It was a great way to spend $3. And yes, we did get muddy…but it was well worth it. Here is a picture of our “new” camera!

Happy Birthday Kayla!

We would like to wish Kayla a very Happy Birthday! We can’t believe how fast time has passed and that she’s now 3 years old. Before we know it, she’ll be driving and working…..but for now she’s happy to be a kid. Here are some favorites from her birthday party.

Happy Birthday Kayla! Don’t grow up too fast!

Congratulations!!!

We would like to congratulate our cousin Justin and his fiancée, Susie on their engagement. Since they got engaged on Christmas, we took a few “Christmassy” pictures in a quick, informal session. We look forward to their wedding this summer! As usual, here are a few of our favorites…

Welcome to the family Susie!

Happy New Year

We’ve been so busy lately that I’m just now able to get this post up. Between our wedding, and the start and rapid growth of our business, this year has truly been a great year. We’re grateful for everyones support through our new endeavor and we can’t thank you all enough. We look forward to what this new year will bring us and hope it will be as good as the last.

We leave you with some shots of what occurred when the clock struck midnight on New Years Day. There were many casualties. Happy New Year!!
