Tahoe Teaser

Oh goodness, I’ve been busy!

First, yesterday was our 3 year wedding anniversary Smile (If you are my friend on Facebook, you can click my “Vegas 2008” album to see more wedding photos!)

Matt and I celebrated by working 8 hours at our jobs. Woo! Just kidding Smile  I mean, we did work but after work he surprised me with 2 dozen beautiful pink roses and then we went to our favorite Italian restaurant for dinner. It was a really great night, to say the least Winking smile

We sat out on the terrace area at the restaurant because it’s so beautifully decorated and such an amazing atmosphere. It was a little warm but definitely worth the view! I ordered angel hair pasta tossed in garlic & olive oil (pomodoro) and Matt got filet mignon with vegetables and potatoes. We each got a green salad to start and I got a glass of Riesling and he had Stella. Yum, yum, yum! Open-mouthed smile

While at dinner, we did some “networking”… I know, I know, it’s rude to use your cell phone at the dinner table but on our way to the restaurant we passed a huge accident on the freeway and curiosity got the best of us. It turned out that no one was killed (thank goodness) but it was still very scary looking!

After dinner we played it low key at the house. We thought about going to the movies but after a long day we were ready to just relax. The dogs were glad we came home, too! Winking smile

This morning I let the dogs out to go potty and when I sat down with my coffee, I noticed that someone was not going to let me get off that easy. Oh no.

He used his amazing ability to stare endlessly without blinking to wear me down and let him back in. Have you ever been around an animal who can literally stare at you (seriously, he makes eye contact) for hours without blinking? Because Leon really can.. No lie! Open-mouthed smile

Since we opted to sleep in the morning we had to jet to the gym after work today, which sucked because the gym was busy but good because I got a nice 4 mile jog in, in addition to a killa booty work out Smile Win.

Now I’m going to work on editing some photos Matt took at a Baptism a few weeks ago and when I’m through with those, I’ll start on the wedding photos I took in Lake Tahoe last weekend. Here’s one for a sneak peak: (thus the title, Tahoe Teaser! Winking smile)

This is one of my favorites, but that isn’t saying much considering I have about 35 favorites. Hey, when you have a beautiful beach as your setting, and two good looking people, it’s not hard to create beautiful photos. (I’ve reduced the quality of this photo so it wouldn’t be 1,890,576,324 GB for one picture!)

I shot the photos in raw mode, which means each photo is REALLY big but it makes everything much more crisp and gives you more options when it comes to touching up/editing.

ANYWAY!

Gotta get back to business… hope everyone is having a good Wednesday!
