Fridays are for Fun

Well, for the first time in quite awhile I am celebrating that Friday means the start of a weekend for us. I'm pretty excited about it and I would say that this week has been really good: *Began packing for the big move. I know, we are only moving two miles, but let's still call it a big move, because really, anytime you have to go through years of collected stuff, it is quite the event.

*Had the best coffee date with some of our favorite people on Sunday. There is nothing like it. I treasure these small moments in life.

*Began watching the Amazing Race and realized once again that Kenny and I should definitely apply to be on this show. I say this every year and wonder why their application process has to be so long?

*Enjoying a cup of chai tea as I write this and excited that fall is finally starting to come around here in Chico. I'm definitely a fan of fall weather, scarves and warm drinks.

*And speaking of this, was told by our friends at Starbucks that red cups are nearly here... which means a couple things for me: One, I will drink far too much egg nog and two, I can almost begin to decorate for the holidays.

*Reminded of how much I have to be thankful for. I should never complain.

*Looking forward to having our good friends, Josh and Bethany here in Chico this weekend. It's going to be so fun!

*Also looking forward to cheering wildly for our brother, Allen as he sings his heart out on Saturday at the El Rey. If you live anywhere near here, you will not want to miss this :)

Have a great weekend friends! Enjoy the fall weather -- and wear a scarf for me :)

And I got to spend some time with Jane last night. She is so pretty....

Fridays are for Fun

I was confused for just a moment this morning when I could not figure out what day it was. I am pretty sure when you travel, your days get a little mixed up. Either way, it's Friday, and looking back we had some great adventures: *Flew to San Diego on Sunday morning.

*Like always, we were running late to the airport. I think Kenny and I must love stress, because there is nothing more stressful than thinking you might miss your flight as you drive through Yuba City, knowing the airport is still 40 minutes away.

*May have sprinted through the parking lot to catch the shuttle bus. May have seen a couple people laughing at us. Definitely felt like we were in a movie :)

*Sure enough, we made it. Arrived to our terminal with a good ten minutes to spare. We are so prompt :)

*Enjoyed a wedding and time with my family in San Diego. Realized, once again, that Kenny and I love to dance, despite our total lack of rhythm.

*Ate the biggest Cinnamon Roll of our life in San Diego. While I may have gone into a sugar comatose, it was totally worth it.

*Went to the San Diego Zoo. Pretty sure I hadn't been to a zoo for fifteen years. I loved it. My new favorite animal: the chimpanzee.

*Laughed a lot. So good for the soul, so good to be with family and so blessed by my awesome parents.

*On Tuesday, we drove to Irvine, to attend the Resurgence Conference. Came home encouraged, convicted and full of dreams.

*Mulling over so many great things taught at the conference. Among one of my favorite things said: "Influence is determined by the little things that you do each day: If you are not faithful in the small things, then you won't be given more."

*Came home to lots of laundry, no groceries and lots of work, but I wouldn't trade the last six days for anything.

*Still prepping for a move in less than three weeks. Although you wouldn't know it, as I have yet to pack one box :)

*And just now, my sister surprised me with a Starbucks. If that doesn't say Happy Friday, than I'm not sure what will. Thanks sister, You are the best!

Well that's it for this blog post. Happy Friday; the weekend is nearly here. We are gearing up for another wedding tomorrow and can't wait to celebrate with Kevin and Denise.

Have a great evening friends! K and K

Loved all the old boats sitting on the shore near Newport Beach... I can't wait to start downloading and look through all of our photos soon.

Fridays are for Fun

Oh wow --- how is it already Friday? What happened to this week? Good thing I write these posts, they help me remember some of the great things that happen each week: *Welcomed a new nephew into the family. Callahan Norman Jones (After Grandpa Norman) was born on Wednesday to my sweet brother and sister in law. He is so amazing. And now I can most definitely say that both my siblings have the cutest kids ever. Really, I am not sure our children stand a chance...

*Speaking of nephews, went to Carsten's first Birthday party on Saturday. Where did the time go? I really cannot believe he will be one on Monday. Carsten loved his party -- I loved his party, and we all loved my sister's homemade cupcakes.

*Stayed up way too late making a list of things to do this month. This month might be over the top crazy. But hey, that's how we roll.

*And in case we didn't quite have enough on our plate, we will also be moving. Yep, got the keys to our new "rental home" on Monday. This is really exciting for us, however, we have yet to pack one box. Anyone want to have a moving party?

*Amazed by Kenny. He is such a hard worker and serves people so well. End of story.

*Ran out of cereal before the week ended, which meant no late snacking for me last night. I'm going to have to pace myself next week.

*Didn't clean my house once. Until today. And let me tell you, it needed it.

*Welcomed a new lens into the K Stone Photo family. I get really excited when I open up the box to a brand new lens. Thank you Canon. 

*Attended Will and Olivia's wedding, as guests, last Saturday night. This was such a treat. I forgot what it feels like to dress up and stay somewhat free from sweat for an entire wedding. So thankful that Will and Olivia invited us.

And we are prepping for a busy weekend. We will be photographing Rob and Jessica's wedding on Saturday and then heading to San Diego for a wedding and the Resurgence Conference early next week. So excited to pack my bags and say hello to some coastal weather.

Have a great Friday and weekend. Drink a chai tea for me :) K and K

And proof that my brother's kids are indeed the cutest kids on the block :)

Fridays are for Fun

Gosh, I am just so excited that it is Friday! We have been some busy bees over here, our weekdays full of so many great things: *Hung out with little Carsten quite a bit this week. He is the sweetest and always makes me smile.

*Decided to brave a run with the little man on Tuesday evening; just me, Carsten and the jogging stroller. No judging if you saw me struggling through this run. I have so much respect for all you Mom's who do this all the time, including my sister: You're amazing!

*Planned and cooked two really good dinners this week. Among my favorite thing: A fresh taco salad with homemade guacamole and brown rice from our friends, the Lundbergs. Good news was: I didn't even burn the rice :)

*Decided to start doing sit-ups and push-ups before bed each night. Sadly, this lasted one night. Better luck next week.

*Found a grey hair -- on Kenny. While I still constantly get mistaken for a teenager, it looks like one of us may be starting to look more like a thirty year old. He's so good looking :)

*Had a really good visit with my friend Katie this week. Friends are the best.

*Found out that Kenny prefers not to share his nightly bowl of cereal with me. So sad.

*Painted my toe nails while watching and celebrating the Seahawks victory on Monday night. I know there is much contention around this win, but thank you refs for letting us think we cheer for the best team in the world.

*Turned 30 last week. Kenny planned such a fun dinner with some of our friends on Friday evening. Feeling spoiled and a little bit old :)

*Most of all, feeling very blessed. We have the best family and friends and work with the kindest people. We know that our life is full, but we wouldn't trade it for anything. So thank you to everyone who encourages and walks beside us in this life.

AND... For the first time in ten weeks, we have the weekend off! Best days ever! While we love our jobs, we are super thankful to have a weekend to regroup and just be together. Oh yes, and let's not forget, we will also be celebrating Carsten's first birthday on Saturday and awaiting the arrival of our newest nephew or niece anytime  :)

Happy Friday -- have some fun. And for all my friends who don't live in Chico -- please enjoy some cooler weather for me. It looks like we are about to have another one-hundred degree weekend :)

Oh yes, and just in case you didn't know, I love this man!

Fridays are for Fun

Well our life has been absolutely flying by. The days turn into weeks and before we know it, September is halfway over. Truly, we are so blessed, but I would be lying if I didn't say we are a little tired.  In the last couple weeks, we have had some great adventures. *Stayed in Portland for less than 48 hours. It was definitely a work trip, but that's not to say we didn't enjoy the wonderful Northwest. Seventy degrees never felt better.

*Stayed in San Francisco last weekend for a little bit of work and a lot of fun.

*Saw that once again I am not a good "packer". Even though I check the forecast, I am either too warm or not warm enough. Perhaps one day I will get this right.

*Attended the Dave Matthews Concert thanks to our brother, Allen. While Dave is an incredible artist, I was really there to see Allen open up the show. Dear Allen, you are amazing. The end.

*Bought Kenny some skinny jeans. Um. yes, I did just say that. We are nearly hispsters, well, almost.

*And I think all the traveling and craziness may have thrown off my sleep schedule. There was a good week and a half, where I simply could not sleep well at night. Let's be honest, by the sixth night I took some time to look up "Insomnia" on the world wide web, because I was certain something was wrong.

*Turns out, it may have been stress and sugar induced. No more Cinnamon Toast Crunch late at night. This girl needs her sleep.

*In the middle of our travels, my Mom came for a quick trip to Chico. Now, this is always a treat. My mom, she is just the best!

*Oh yes, and I tasted my first pumpkin spice latte of the season. So good! Thank you Starbucks.

Well we are excited for this weekend! We have six more weddings this year and we are looking forward to be celebrating with Megan and Jarrett tomorrow. Happy Friday to all of you!

Cheers! K and K

Oh yes, and we had the chance to photograph Lauren last night for her senior session. Isn't she SO pretty?

Fridays are for Fun

Well this is my official, "boo" to colds, especially in the summer, post :) Really, shouldn't it be a rule, "no colds allowed", when the weather is over eighty degrees? I mean, how silly do I feel, holding a tissue in one hand and ice water in the other.

Along with this, Kenny has had some pretty bad allergies this week -- meaning both our noses look like Rudolph, not to mention our puffy eyes...

Also, I am wondering how I got this cold, as I tend to be a hermit during the week, with all of my editing. I think I blame the gym on this one.

However, there were some upsides to catching a cold: Since I couldn't really taste anything, I would say it was a good week for my cooking. I had an excuse to lay low for a little bit, which gave my eyes a much needed break from editing. Along with this, I had the chance to catch up on some Cooking Channel Reality TV (Yes, I do watch an episode of Chopped from time to time). And let's be honest, this also gave me the excuse to sit in my sweats all day long and sleep in this morning. That was amazing! Finally, I moved a lot slower than normal, which is probably good for my life, since I tend to powerwalk everywhere.

Now, I am not recommending a summer cold, to anyone. But it did change the pace of my life this week, giving me the time to reflect and remember what is really important. We can get so busy and I am thankful for the deep breaths, and the time to see all the things that God is doing in our lives right now.

On a final note, this cold must go away :) We have two weddings this weekend -- one in Chico and then on to Portland for the second. So excited to celebrate marriage with both of these couples.

Have a great weekend friends! Try not to catch a cold, because really, it is not that cool. I promise. K

And because I still have not gotten around to posting our Kauai pics, here is just one for now... I'm pretty sure colds don't exist in Kauai :)

Fridays are for Fun

Well I can hardly believe I am writing another Fridays are For Fun blog post. It has been such a quick week: *Currently writing this post on Thursday evening, simply because my to-do list is that long :)

*Rode my bike for the first time this summer: I know, that may seem crazy, but if you saw my "hot-pink" bike from my teenage years, you will know why I only ride it once a year, and only at dusk. It might be time to get a new bike...

*Babysat little Carsten while my sister went to the dentist. She came home "cavity-free" and so we celebrated with a trip to Starbucks :)

*Watched The Hunger Games with Kenny last night. Oh.my. The plot of the book still kind of disturbs me, but I would have to say, I hardly blinked watching the movie. It was that good.

*Ate some popcorn with marshmallows while watching the movie. Yes. I did just say that and I did eat both of those things, together, at the same time.

*In denial that summer is over. I grew up in the Northwest, where Labor day weekend marked the final days of summer break. California, you may have gotten this one wrong...

*And as summer comes to a close, we both feel very grateful for all the opportunities and ways we have grown during this season.

*Like always, we are dreaming of the day that we will get back to the beach, Cannon Beach.

*Speaking of Cannon Beach, here is a fun set of photos taken right there. And yes, Kenny is definitely way nicer than me, as seen below. And yes, we still love each other a ton!

Oh dear, have a great weekend, friends! We are so excited to photograph Mitch and Amanda's wedding this weekend. Kenny will also be teaching at church on Sunday -- you are all invited :) We'd love to see you there!

Fridays are For Fun

I think you might be able to tell by my blog posts, Kenny and I are definitely waist deep in life right now. Between ministry and weddings, we are running hard, but we are running together and feel so grateful for everything. And as for this week... *Ate Papa Murphy's Pizza last night for dinner. It was either that, or salad for the fourth night in a row... Poor Kenny, one of these days I will become a better cook. For now, if anyone would like to become our personal chef, we are totally up for it :)

*Had such a great day off on Monday. Mondays are my favorite day of the week; LOVE quality time with Kenny.

*Worked out every day this week: Only because my head gets a little fuzzy after editing photos for hours and hours. Nothing like a good run, to wake up my brain :)

*Worked out next to a friend on Wednesday, and my workout was SO much better. Seriously, I must start going to the gym with friends.

*In an attempt to save money, I tried my hardest not to use the air conditioning in our house. This lasted about five minutes, but was quite a valiant effort.

*Had such an encouraging phone conversation with my friend, Katie. Love her!

*Trying not to listen to "Call Me Maybe" more than once a day. Yes, I am a sucker for pop music, always have been, probably always will be: Please, no judging.

*Fighting the urge to do some "back to school" shopping. Seven years out of school, and I still find myself looking at Target's back to school ads.

*Oh yes, and this little man has been gone to Spokane for the last six days and I am now going through withdrawals: Carsten (and sister, too), please come back soon.

We are getting ready for a full weekend. On Saturday, we will be at the Chico Wedding Weekend. Please come, we would love to see you! And then on Sunday, we get the honor of photographing some of our favorite people ever. Ashley and Anders are getting married :) So, So excited!

Happy Friday to all of you! K and K

Fridays are for Fun

Happy August friends! I cannot believe this -- what a fast summer so far and this week proved to be the same with some great moments. *Had a really creative shoot last night with a bride, before the day of her wedding. I'll share more soon, but have been wanting to implement something like this for awhile. Yay for checking off another thing on my "dreams" list.

*Peets was giving away free drinks on Wednesday. Let's just say Brandon, Marissa, Kenny and I may have taken a little coffee break to indulge here. Thank you Peets!

*Hosted a party for Kenny's 30th! Yes, this is the third week in a row where you are hearing about Kenny's birthday. I promise it is the last week too :) We had such a blast on Tuesday evening. And, I learned that any good party ideas, come to my brain, very last minute... Meaning, I was scrambling like crazy. My poor husband.

*Ordered these amazing Red Velvet Cupcakes from The Cupcake Crusader for the party. We highly recommend that you taste one, asap :)

*Watching the Olympics like crazy. Staying up way too late.

*Went for a swim on Sunday evening right before we watched the Olympics. Decided that I will not be trying out for the Olympic swim team...

*Gearing up for an amazing wedding in Napa this weekend. So excited for many reasons, among one of them, cooler weather :) Hello seventy degrees -- perhaps I won't look like a drowned rat by the end of this wedding :)

Have a great weekend! So thankful that you would even take the time to read this little post. K and K

Fridays are for Fun

Oh Friday! So glad that you are here! It has been a bit of a long week, with some grand adventures: *Obviously, I watched the Bachelorette Finale on Sunday. So pleased with the results -- Can't wait for Jef and Emily to ask me to photograph their wedding ;)

*Drove to Sacramento on Monday to run errands that we can't do here in Chico. Good thing we can have dance parties in the car :)

*You know those weeks when nothing goes right with technology -- yes, I am having one of those. It's amazing how much I count on technology in the daily operations of my business. I am trying to tell myself that this isn't stressful...

*Nestled into the couch for the Letterman show on Tuesday night to watch our brother. Fell asleep five minutes into the show. Luckily, I have a husband who can brave the late night hours and woke me up for Allen's performance. He's amazing!

*Wrote half of this blog post on a World Market ad, while sitting in the drive thru line at Starbucks :) Totally blessed when they handed me my drink for free, because I had waited in line so long :)

*Ran to the market last night with Kenny. Bought our veggies, and while waiting in line to pay, realized I was wearing my tanktop inside out. Oh dear -- hope I am not "losing it" yet.

*Washed the car at dusk in our barefeet. Totally nostalgic -- as if summer should always look this way.

*And highlight of the week: Getting ready to celebrate Kenny's 30th birthday on Sunday! Are you all so excited? I'm not sure if being 30 is great or if it just means that we are truly getting older.... Either way, sounds like a great reason for a party :)

And our wedding craziness is about to begin: Fourteen weddings left! So excited friends! Have a great weekend!

K and K

And, so thankful for our friend, Bethany, who captured some photos of us at the beach. Here's one of our many favorites...

Chico Photographers: Fridays are for Fun

Well the weather sure cooperated for us this week. Eighties in July?  I'll take it! Among this, there were a lot of other blessings: *Enjoyed every single moment of our day off on Monday. Slept in until 10:00 -- I know, call me lazy, but it was amazing!

*Counting my blessings -- I have been encouraged by so many people this week. Not sure why, but just received an abundance of sweet notes, which make me feel so loved.

*Going through Cannon Beach withdrawals. If only we could bring the beach back with us :)

*Had a cavity filled this week. Let's just say, it's been awhile since I had one of these. I think I had a mini anxiety attack when they started numbing my mouth. No worries though, an hour later, I looked like a chipmunk and had a "good as new" tooth.

*Really felt like summer last night when I made a quinoa salad for dinner with fresh veggies from the Market. Cheers for being healthy.

*Equally enjoyed the oreo ice-cream we ate after the quinoa salad. Cheers for eating dessert!

*Looking forward to the Bachelorette Finale this weekend. Seriously. I totally got suckered into this show and can't wait to see Emily end up with Jef;) Not going to lie, I have been cheering for team Jef since night one.

*Had a great chat with this sweet girl today as we ran through the park. She will be a sophomore this year at Utah State and I can't wait to see what God has in store for her!

*The preparations have begun -- Kenny turns 30 in nine days! Oh my gosh -- what should we do to celebrate?

*Came across this photo yesterday, and LOVE it. Can my Grandpa be any more awesome? Love him!

Happy Weekend to everyone. So thankful for all of you!

Chico Wedding Photographers : Fridays are for Fun

I am at that point in the summer, where I no longer know what day it is. Oh dear -- does anyone else have this happen? I did figure out that today is Friday, and so like every Friday, I wanted to recollect some of this weeks adventures: *Went from sixty degree weather at the Oregon coast to 105 degree weather here in Chico. Hello sweat :)

*Ended an eleven day road trip, by spending time with the Stone family in Depoe Bay. It was such a good trip. We had the best of times with both of our families. Our hearts are full and more than ever, we just feel so blessed by family!

*In eleven days we laughed a ton, ate a lot of great food, made so many memories and caught up on a little bit of rest.

*Celebrated with Brett and Devon who just got engaged! So excited for these two amazing people.

*Attempted to run most days while on vacation. Let me tell you, I am way more motivated to run in cool weather with the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop. Needless to say, I am going to try to find that kind of motivation back here in Chico.

*After almost eleven days off of work, I hardly recognized my office and to do list. Good thing we love our jobs.

*Flew a kite at the Oregon Coast. Well, Kenny flew the kite, I just took pictures :) And just so you know, the Stone family is the "real deal" when it comes to kite flying. We had three kites going at once -- one of the kites flying hundreds and hundreds of feet high and wide. We nearly took over the coastline :)

*Went to the Thursday Night Market last night. So excited to see that bell peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes are back in season. Nothing like taking home a basketful of vegetables for only three dollars and fifty cents. Thank you Chico farmers!

*Looking forward to another weekend to catch up and spend time with family. We have thirteen weddings left this year and I am just praying for a miraculous "cool down" before the next round of weddings begin :)

Have a great weekend friends! We'd love to hear about some of your summer adventures too -- so feel free to share below. Much Love, K and K

Chico Wedding Photographer: Fridays are for Fun

I say this every week, but I cannot believe that it is Friday already. This week was such a good week and we managed a few adventures: *Spent some much needed time with our friends on Sunday evening. We sat on their deck, ate way too much pizza and laughed until our stomachs hurt. There is nothing like good friends.

*Discovered that my workouts are much better with good music. And this week, when the Black Eyed Peas  came on, I am pretty sure I started running faster. I definitely fear that one of these days I will start singing out loud in front of everyone at the gym. No judging if you are there when it happens.

*Every year, Kenny plans a special day for the graduating students who attend our church. I could only join them for dinner on Wednesday, but definitely enjoyed it. Always cool to see students transition and hear about their dreams to make a difference in this world.

*Had two really good consults this week for 2013 weddings. And by good, I mean that these couples are amazing people with awesome love stories. Really thankful for this opportunity. Reminds me that people book early -- so please don't wait to contact the vendors that you want. It is always hard to turn away sweet people because we are booked.

*Laughed way too hard when I saw this video, posted by Katelyn James. And yes, I was all alone in my office laughing out loud.

*Dreamed of the day that my laundry would fold itself, no luck yet.

*Had an impromptu Starbucks date with friends. I absolutely love it when friends stop by for a quick coffee run -- even if it is just 15 minutes together, it is the perfect combination.

*Speaking of Starbucks, bought these new little drinks to serve our clients. I didn't have time for a taste test before our meetings, but of course, Starbucks pulled through for me. I would be more than happy to share some with anyone who would like to visit :)

Looking forward to another sweet wedding this weekend. Yay for Josh and Lizz! Have a great weekend Friends!

Fridays are for Fun

This is going to be a short one today. It's been a tougher week. There were some fun things -- like a 10:30pm ice-cream run to Safeway, and brand new goggles, (because we are nearly professional swimmers now) ;), but there was one harder thing that made this week a bit different. *We found out on Sunday morning that our Grandma had passed away. It was the evening of her seventy-fifth birthday. She was a brave woman, persevering through many, many trials in this life. I will miss her. And so it's a sad week. I am more homesick and can't wait to be with my entire family in one week. I also know this wasn't the end for my Grandma and that gives us peace. She is finally healed and in the presence of God. Isn't that amazing? Life is truly short, and I think times like this make us sense that God is very real.

*There was a highlight to this week and that was hanging out with Carsten while his parents went on a little date :) He wore his cut off, had a mohawk and entertained us with his many faces. He is just the cutest, wouldn't you agree?

Don't worry, he was only concerned for a moment....

We love you Carsten!

Have a good weekend. Enjoy some cooler weather, I can hardly believe that it was thirty degrees warmer last week at this time. What a crazy life! Much Love, K and K

Chico Wedding Photographers: Fridays are for Fun

Another week;  and just like that, it is Friday again. I can't believe it. This week was full and I would say we had some adventures along the way. *Had the BEST Skype date with our friends, Josh and Bethany. To say we miss them like crazy, would be an understatement. They are once in a lifetime friends. The kind of people that make you better and stronger, even over Skype.

*Learned a lot this week. Humbled for sure.

*Stayed up way too late working on a project that still isn't finished. May have gotten frustrated. That's when Kenny broke out the John Mayer playlist, just because he knew it would make me smile.

*Went to Target with my sister this week. Target is always better with my sister, even if I am just there for toilet paper and shampoo. We browsed the aisles, got inspired by their home section and bought some oreos :) (I promise I don't only eat junk food)

*Had the greatest coffee date with my hubby on Sunday. You know those impromptu dates that turn out to be your favorite? Yep, that was it.

*Our espresso machine was down for the last two weeks, so we ordered a part that it needed. That part came two days ago, so Tuesday was a happy day. The machine worked again.  And then, this morning, while making our coffee, something went down. We had what you may call a mini explosion in the kitchen, that ended with a very broken coffee maker. Goodbye espresso machine. It's been a good four years.

*And... Kenny surprised me with some new shoes this week. I have been looking at Toms for awhile now, and when he bought me these wedges last weekend, I was pretty excited :) He's the sweetest!

Hope you all have a great weekend and maybe sneak in an adventure or two for us :) K and K

Chico Wedding Photographer: Fridays are for Fun

I have no idea how Friday came so quickly. Wow. I feel like the weekends are a blur and before I know it, another wedding is nearly here.This week has been one of those nose to the ground, work hard weeks. Once again though, we managed to have a little fun.

*In good old summer fashion, we went to the pool a couple times this week. I started swimming again and discovered that while I may have thought I was in shape, a half mile of swimming nearly tuckered me out.

*We also discovered that our nephew Carsten, is happiest in the water. At eight months, he is quite the little fish.

*I did a power clean of the house on Wednesday night. With working so much right now, I feel like everything is a little harder to keep up with. But I made record time of cleaning the house on Wednesday. Go team Stone!

*Had a mentor session with Melissa Jill this week over Skype. Such an honor and loved learning from her. We both laughed about having to get out of our sweats, for our meeting. (On days when I am just working in my office, I tend to stay in my sweats all day long: No need to spoil a good outfit day).

*Had a late night run to Winco last night, which was an adventure in itself.

*Ate way too many gummy bears this week. Not sure when or why I got addicted to these little guys, but it is true. And my favorite kind, the generic brand from Safeway. Trust me, I did a taste test.

*And just this morning, I got to have a coffee date with Shannon Rosan. Such a sweetie :) Love meeting with her. I am pretty sure we could talk for hours. She's a photographer here in Chico and if you haven't seen her work, well you simply must.

We have an event tonight and another wedding this weekend. It's going to be a good one!

Happy Friday everyone. Have a great weekend! Maybe work on your sun tan for me, and oh yes, eat some gummy bears as well. K and K

Fridays are for Fun.

Right now, Kenny and I are working a lot. Just some longer days, but don't worry, we love our jobs. The only thing I have been considering is hiring an assistant just so that I have someone to talk with each day :) In the midst of our hard work, we did manage to have a little fun this week:

*Thanks to my sister and her family we had an impromptu date last night to Jon and Bons for some frozen yogurt. Nothing like being with the family and eating some ice-cream. Is it weird that I mix chocolate peanut butter granola with tart frozen yogurt?

*Kenny and I have been running together a couple days a week. It has become one of my new favorite things -- we get in great visits and sport ourselves as "runners", although we know that is far from the truth. Thankfully I have a hubby who makes me think I am athletic :)

*We celebrated the birthday of our good friend Bryce this week! So lucky to be friends with their family. As a side note, Kenny and I spent about twenty minutes picking out a card for Bryce at Target. Did you know they have an entire aisle of "funny" cards. Let's just say I may have laughed out loud quite a few times in the middle of Target. Good thing Kenny was beside me.

*Ok and confession of the week, I got hooked on the Bachelorette. Emily's story is just amazing and so while I told myself I wouldn't watch this season, I couldn't help it. Here's to hoping she will pick a good husband. I already know who I am rooting for...

So cheers to Friday. We all need to laugh and dream and enjoy these sweet summer days.

Oh, and I also have been finishing putting together our bedroom decor. This is one of the fun little things that I purchased at The Address this month:

Happy Weekend! We'd love to hear about your plans and what you did for fun this week!
