weekend escape

{photo credit}

I'm off to San Fransico for a belated birthday getaway for the weekend with this lady (to see this lady and hopefully this lady).

We're going to ride trolley cars, cross big red bridges, eat clam chowder from oversized sour dough bowls and drink copious amounts of California wine.

Here's to new memories!

Good friends + sisters = happiness at it's finest. 

March

Part one!

To say March was a busy month, is an extreme understatement. There were a lot of big firsts- my first concert I was assigned to photograph, my first back-in-LA-red carpet event that I headed up, 30th birthday. And as tired as I am, I wouldn't change anything! Maybe just being able to blog a little more in a timely manner.

March showed me that life has a funny way of bring new people into your life, and God has an even funnier way of bring all your hopes and dreams back to you- only better than you could have ever imagined. And while there are still so many obstacles still ahead, I enter into April (a little late) filled with hope and promise for what the future holds and won't think past today.

There are still so many more photos to share...so I think I'll make a part two!

stay tuned...

Road trippin'

I'll take any excuse to hop in a car and head out for a road trip, it's just an added plus when it's for baseball.  It just so happened that we had a beautiful woman who knows a little something about baseball and the Angels. That weekend we enjoyed lots of spring trainging baseball, early birthday celebrations, the warm Arizona weather, and lots of good company.

Baseball season is here!

A little quick rogue blog post!

Shortly I'm heading out of my dear New York and back to life out on the West Coast before heading up to San Fran for a little post-birthday getaway with some of my favorite people {to visit some of my favorite people!} 

This week has been such a blessing spending quality time with old friends, hitting up new foodie spots, meeting new editors and being back in the city that has both stolen and broken my heart {full recap still to come}.  But life goes on, and as I head back west, I feel so thankful that I get the opportunity to come back to my first love, in all her glory.

yes, God has an amazing sense of humor with me.
