7 Years, and I'm not Itchy

Today is Scott and my 7 year wedding anniversary. It seems really hard to believe how fast the time has flown. We have laughed, cried, had our first child, traveled around the world but most of all loved. This morning I awoke to breakfast and a DIAMOND RING in bed. Scott also wrapped up a framed photo of the stool at Ruby's that he sat on the first night we met. I can't imagine my life without this amazing man of mine. We couldn't be happier or more in love. Cheers to 70 more years together.

Grand Cayman Vacation

As you all know, Scott and I love to travel together and were so excited to take our little Brinkster with us this year on the family vacation. We flew into Miami and stayed there for two days, and then headed to Grand Cayman. Brinks was on five flights in one day due to some stopovers we had. She did not cry ONCE. I was so impressed. The anxiety I had about taking my little girl on the go on so many flights where she would have to sit the whole time was astronomical. Luckily she was a little angel. And luckily I bribed her with treats. The Caymans were amazing. GORGEOUS does not even begin to describe it. We soaked up the sun and hung out with just our little family. Miss B seemed obsessed with licking the salt water off her body.

Leaving On a Jet Plane

Two Trips

Since I have the summer off of teaching, I decided to take two mini vacations.
I went to Arizona to visit my aunt with my mom and my sister and Miss B. We drove out there in the blistering heat and had a lovely time just hangin with the girls. I know what you're thinking. Arizona in the middle of summer? And after going, I must agree. It was like 1000 miles away from the beach and across the street from hell.





The following weekend it was up to Los Angeles to visit my lovely Christine and her boyfriend Tim Rock. (you may recognize him from the Quizno commercials). Christine is going to be very busy for the next few months filming her new TV show FlashForward that is going to air on ABC in the fall. She wanted to spend her last weekend free with the Cheo family and we were much appreciative! We stayed in Tim's gorgeous home in Laurel Canyon. It was amazing. A weekend with friends, going out to eat, ordering in, swimming in the backyard pool. A girl could get used to this life.

We met up with our besties Tiff and Lil and took photos in old town San Juan. What is it about chipped paint and distressed wood that makes me want to photograph it?
