Ladies Night

It baffles me that I live so close to San Francisco and yet don't make it there more than 5 or 6 times a year.  Last night I spent a fun filled, dancing divas, pizza devouring night in The City with two of my best friends.  I have known Sandra since Kindergarten & Melissa since the summer before we began high school. We call ourselves FLOW.  If you don't know what it means, you're not supposed to.

We drank, laughed way too loud... and danced until 1am!  It was my first time at a Blue's Bar and I'm hooked!  Everyone is in their own little worlds, feeling the music on so many levels.  It was truly beautiful.  The only downside was this one guy there we named "Harvard Law" that was clearly a serial rapist, he oozed 'nasty.'  We managed to avoid him most of the night.
 
One of my favorite parts was the very end when we met 3 British men, whom I conveniently named "Adele."  Of course I played the part of the dumb American and asked them if they knew Price William & Kate.  Naturally, they saw through the act & knew right away I was just a funny girl.  We only ended up talking for about 30 minutes, but I feel as though they were my comedic soul-brothers.  Especially Mark & Chris.  The other guy, Matthew was the douche, which of course reminded me of Nathan & made me like him all the more.  What can I say, I'm a sucker for the a**holes.  Don't get me wrong, Nathan is one of the kindest people I have ever met, but he has that douchey streak that runs deep.
 
Anyway, it was a night to remember, I feel even closer to my girlfriends now & the break from my "stay at home mom/wife" routine was much needed.  Missing my husband & daughters was a bittersweet feeling. I wanted to bring my camera along but I ended up leaving it at the hotel, otherwise I'd have more proof of our amazing night.

Starting Fresh: June 2011

Okay, so I know you all have little faith in me and my commitment to blogging, but I have a feeling, this is the one.  I am craving an outlet to express myself & share my thoughts with others... What better way than with blog about the things I love most?  My family, love itself and photography. I'll get into details about my history later in the blog, for now I want to post a few of my family pictures.

This is my sweet daughter Sophia.  She has such a kind nature about her and yet is one of the most stubborn creatures I have ever met.  She is a sponge of knowledge and amazes me all the time.  She grows into an even more beautiful little person each day.

This is my other daughter Zoe.  She is only 13 months old, yet has made such an impact on our lives.  She is not one to sit back and wait for anything, she attacks life, one scream at a time.  She is our wild child for sure & I wouldn't have it any other way.  She is such a beautiful baby and I love being her Mommy.

This is my Husband & I last weekend.  He is my best friend.  We laugh together about everything and yet he is my favorite shoulder to cry on.  We have only been together for 4 years but so much has happened in that short time.  We have definitely grown closer & have fallen more in love as the years go by.  I am so excited that I get to spend my life with him, raising our daughters together.  He is honestly such an amazing father which makes him all the sexier in my eyes.
