The things you find

I haven't really talked much about our move. We moved in to the house that Caleb's grandpa lived and his dad grew up. Everything was still in the house when we moved in. We are still

trying to figure out what to do with everything and I think a garage sale is in our near future. Anyways, it is kind of fun to move into a house that is full of stuff, aside from the hassle of cleaning it all, you can find some fun things. Or in my case, some cool things to take pictures of. I took these pics in the basement. I was doing some laundry and the lighting and such caught my eye. I guess that is the eye of a photographer.<- Caleb thinks I am a huge dork for just writing that LOL!

These pictures are straight out of camera, with no editing. It's probably just me, but I thought it kinda looked cool.

Word magnets are fun.

So, we are moving! I have been starting to pack the little odds and ends, stuff we don't use everyday. The other day I cleaned off the refrigerator. I love these little word magnet things. I decided to take pics of some of the concoctions! Now, I can't take credit for all of these, Any really good ones, or deep ones are probably from Caleb. See the one that says Cold Sour Pickle? Yeah, that's me.

Tired.

I promise I will have some spectacular post tomorrow. I had a long weekend, well for big, huge, pregnant me anyway :) Photographing a wedding yesterday and two family sessions today. James woke me up this morning at 6am wanting a bath. I think I need a long one tonight :)

Heartburn

Salsa doesn't help it, but my body won't stop eating it.

Lauren's Bachelorette party

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of photographing an old high school friends bachelorette party. It was a lot of fun to see people I hadn't seen in a while. It was a really fancy shmancy party :) Sex in the City theme, including a bartender and photographer. Nice work Tricia, putting it together!

Ashley, Sarah, and I.

Tricia made this cool back drop for these pics, you can make it bigger by clicking on it. It doesn't show up real well when you click on it, so keep checking my photo blog. I will put some on there soon.

Virginia Candle Co.

As you can see, there is a new add at the top of my blog under my blog title. It is for Virginia Candle Co. If anyone buys a candle or other products from their site by clicking on my add, I get 10%! So, if anyone is in the market for some great smelling candles it would be awesome if you clicked on the add above and bought from there! Thank you!!

3 minutes and counting!

the boys are a little excited for some football...go vikes!

Holy smokes...I actually won something!

I am so excited about this, since I never ever win anything. I absolutely love Erin's work over at The Vintage Pearl. She makes beautiful custom hand stamped jewelry. She is also a great photographer. I entered a giveaway and won this beautiful necklace! I love it! Thank you thank you so much Erin!!

Garage Sale Crowds

It is a lot of freaking work to have a garage sale. My girlfriend Tiffany, her mom Patty, and I had the experience of throwing a heck of a garage sale. It was actually intended for last week only, but we were feeling frisky, or had nothing better to do, so we decided to do it this weekend too.

It is kind of fun to watch people, and see the different kinds of people that bargain hunt. I am one of these people, but when I am garage saling (I don't think saling, saleing is a word) I don't really look at the other people at the sales.

Hello prego ladies! I think the majority of our "customers" were pregnant, and even if they weren't Patty asked when they were due...oops :) These pregnant people get of the couch, put the jalapenos and sour patch kids down, and search for some damn good deals on clothes. Maybe that is me.

You then get the hard core garage salers. These are the type of people that will come into a sale with their fanny packs on and comfortable Reebok's squeaking telling you your prices are too high. They like to pick out every little item that forgot to get marked and ask how much. One particular lady came, asked a bunch of prices then came back the next day and asked again probably hoping to get different answers.

You get the random middle aged men that show up by themselves, killing time or looking for fishing equipment.

Kid garage salers are funny, they come with their little purses and wallets picking out the junkiest of junk and paying for it themselves. A 10 year old or so girl buying an old stained lamp? I remember being at this age and older and going to garage sales. Finding candles and cool fun stuff for my room to only be disappointed when I got home and at the age of 15 my mom would make me put any candles or incense on a large metal cookie sheets.

The barterers. Original price: $5.00
Saler: I'll give you $1.00 for this.
Seller: I am pretty firm on the price, it is an antique.
Saler: $4.00?
Seller: How about $4.50?
Saler: Ok, I'll take it.

I could go on and on about this garage sale. I will stop and save you the time :)

A random picture of one of the tables...see anything you like make an offer :) Please notice the red man picture frame. I saw this on the table and thought it looked oddly familiar. Oh yes, my friend Tiffany is selling it. I only gave it to her as a birthday present 10+ years ago. THAT'S ALL! LOL!

Tiffany made a killing off of her girls clothes. This is what was left after 4 days of doing the garage sale. Let's just say she had quite a bit of clothing. Some of the behind the scenes work: Sorting 4 totes, 12 garbage bags, and a few boxes full of girls clothing into outfits, size and then pricing it.

Need an ice cube tray?

Excited! Just a tad!

No one knows how excited I am for the movie Away We Go to come out! I am giddy like a little school girl. I have a slight crush on John Krasinski. I think more so now too, ever since I have been pregnant I have had very vivid sitcom dreams of working at "The Office." Goof, weirdo, I know. I just sat here at ate 6 freeze pop things (one of each kind) while you tubing him and watching old interviews. This just looks like a really good movie right up my alley!

I love Guacamole!

That's right! Ask James what he had for dinner last night and he will tell ya... a beef taco! MMMMMMM....with homemade guacamole! Yum, sorry I am eating some right now and thought I would just let everyone know how yummy it is!

Crazy Garage Salers! oh I guess I am one of them :) (not so) Wordless Wednesday

This morning my friend Sarah and I were headed to Target when we got really excited over a garage sale sign. The sign said it wasn't until 4pm, so we made plans to go later. We arrived at the garage sale on this TUESDAY at 4PM on the dot. Much to our surprise to find this...
I really wish I had my regular camera, this was taken with my phone. The whole thing is, this is only about 1/4 of the amount of cars there, there were cars to my left and cars behind me. There was at least 100 cars at this garage sale just when it opened!!!! I am sorry if I sound like a crazy lunatic, but I could not believe my eyes! Recession? What Recession?

AZ here I come! Yippy Skippy

Me and my fam fam will be flying out on Monday to spend 9 glorious days in the desert state!

Click here to see what I have been up to. There will be more up maybe later today.

re: previous post

So, My landlord never actually came over today. He was around though. What had happened was our next door neighbor's (Who have been MIA for a few months) furnace broke and the pipe burst. It was too dark for us to see that the water was coming from their house. In conclusion, we had to clean up the mess ourselves. He did put some salt down in front of our door. I guess he did have more important things to tend to. I bet that was a mess and a half to clean up!

Last week Caleb's sister in law, who is due in Feb, came over and picked up some things and I had two of those bouncy seat things so one was left. James thinks it's hilarious to sit in and watch TV, doesn't he look comfy though?
