Griffith Observatory

Here are some more pictures that I found as I was going through my iphoto library.  (These pictures were taken in February.)  I was scheduled to shoot a portrait session that day but it was canceled at the last minute.  So armed with a rented wide angle lens Benny and I drove to the Griffith Observatory to shoot around.
Here are 2 of my favorites


Happy Anniversary!

I've been going through my laptop trying to get rid of old files and I came across some pictures of a wedding I did last year. I just now realized that I never posted their wedding pictures on my blog (oops!). So here are a few.....

Happy Anniversary Anthony and Vanessa!

Weekend to Remember


About a month ago my husband and I went to a Weekend to Remember conference in Las Vegas. It was a blessing to learn so much about marriage and about being a wife in the early stages of our marriage. I highly recommend this conference to anyone who is married or engaged. The second day of the conference all the husbands were given a homework assignment to take their wives out on a date. Benny took me to the strip for a gondola ride at the Venetian. My hubby had this all planned even before he was given his homework assignment. =) Needless to say it was a weekend to remember.




After our gondola ride we walked around for a while and I noticed a couple who had just got married. They were having their pictures taken by a family member with a point and shoot camera. I had my camera with me so I offered to take some pictures of them while my patient husband waited.

Here are a few.....




Thank you again for allowing me to be a part of your special day!

Aloha

A month and a half after our wedding, Benny was forced by his boss to attend a 2 hour training class in Oahu, Hawaii. Benny was nice enough to bring me along so I took a few days off of work and we stayed 5 days. God is good! We had so much fun, we laughed and ate most of the time.
As many of you know I love to eat. I love going to restaurants but my tummy has a soft spot for what some people would call "a hole in the wall." I don't know what it is but food just taste so much better when it is sold out of a truck. I just got an idea! I will some day blog about all my favorite hole in the wall establishments.

Check out the blue truck

They had the best garlic shrimp. I hope to some day duplicate their recipe.

This is what Benny likes to call breakfast in Hawaii. This is a "loco moco" it is a hamburger patty on white rice topped with eggs and gravy. It's an acquired taste that I have yet to acquire.



This is pastor Francis of the Horizon Honolulu church. We met pastor Francis in December when we were there for the Jesus loves you outreach. For those of you who know him you know he loves his clapper.


We were blessed to be able to attend a bible study in pastor Francis' home and were even invited to return the next night for sweet fellowship.

Good times.
