I wanted to wish my hubby and great father a Happy Birthday! To 'The Chad': you don't look a day over 40... umm I mean...30? ish? ;)
Awesome photos were taken by Ohana Photographers. Chad doesn't really like taking pictures for me...haha.

i confess...i have never cooked a turkey or hosted a thanksgiving party. With that said, I am very thankful for the family I have, they cook the big turkey, I help, I bring dessert. We spent Thanksgiving with family, eating, chatting, laughing, drinking...so very thankful. we shouldn't just reserve one day just to feel thankful for what we have in our lives, i'm thankful everyday! waking up, family, mom and dad, my son, his laughs, his constant whining asking me for hugs, supportive husband, coffee, health, roof over my head, ability to still dance, ability to walk, the sound of waves... the little things...even the mistakes in life have led me to where am i today. be thankful! hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!
Dessert... Liliha Bakery's chantilly cake slice is probably as much calories as a big dinner plate I had ....so worth it though.
The wine came out, scrabble and SNL's coffee talk with Linda Richman came out...word of the day is verklempt, haha!
My personal Monday. Fun post for brides and photographers, female photogs ofcourse. I'm a girly, makeup junkie. I don't walk around with heavy makeup, but I like looking my best with minimal makeup...for a, umm....20 something year old ;). I love makeup and beauty products, Sephora is my happy place. Ever notice your makeup has faded before the reception? Mine usually is, I'm running around, sweat, camera to face, by the end of the day I look like I just woke up in the morning and my LCD screen is wearing my Laura Mercier powder foundation No. 5. Ohhh ... I sound like an infomercial...if you buy this, it'll make you look younger!...is it working? Are you still reading? Anyway, so I found the most important things that are a must have for a wedding, for both photographers and brides....WATERPROOF MAKEUP! Primer, foundation, eyeliner and mascara! My faves: Hourglass primer, Makeup forever HD foundation, MAC eyeliner, Dior show mascara. You'll cry, sweat, hug, kiss, cry again, dance, smear... you'll need waterproof everything to look your best all day. Ofcourse for brides, I'd definately splurge on a makeup artist. They know best. But if you decide to do it on your own, this helps! For photogs, try it, it works for me! =)
Just a sneak peak to one of my weddings. Rest is coming up at a later post. Happy Monday all!
I miss home Wish I was there enjoying time with you and my sister, brother, mom, cousins… WAIT! Is that my Scrabble game? ;D Thanks Pinky for sharing their pictures!
