Day Fifty Nine

{Home Slice}  I stayed home sick today, so I decided to try the fruit and seltzer water trick.  I am going to keep playing with this, it was so much fun.  Check out the how to on The Bonnie 5.

Day Fifty Eight

{Sunday Snow Day}  My attempt at a romantic kiss + leg lift.  Not bad, but blogger is making it look blurry.  Ugh! 

Don't forget to join Rock the Shot, they have a great giveaway going on! Oh, wait...maybe I shouldn't have told you. :) 

Day Fifty Seven

{Self Portrait Saturday} Hey, it is one of those tacky hold up your camera and snap shots...I actually kind of like it though! :)  It was getting dark and snowing like crazy, this is the best I could do!

Day Fifty Six

{Ferry}

Day Fifty Five

{Frigid Sunset} Moser and I hung out on the cruise ship docks this evening waiting for my husbands barge to arrive. Work on the harbor begins on Monday!  The perk of freezing our buns off was the beautiful sunset!

Day Fifty Four

{House Update} Third floor is up, walls will be up tomorrow!  So exciting!  Now if we could just get the snow to melt we would be set.

Day Fifty Three

{Samoas} I've known my husband for eight years, we've been married for 8 months... I thought I knew him...even down to his Girl Scout cookie of choice.  Thin Mints for me and Tagalongs for him.  So very wrong, what was I thinking?  We had a fun time explaining this marital issue to the cute little girl that called last night.  Once we cleared up that we needed 2 boxes of Samoas and not 2 boxes of Samoans there really was no problem with adding more cookies to our order.  Lesson learned.

My Father in-law being a ham.

Day Fifty Two

{Recess Duty}

If you have read my new "about me" section then you know that I get bored easily.  I am bored with Joy of Love.  Call me a failure if you must, but I quit.

Day Fifty One

{Harbor Side} Tonight we set out to watch the fireworks display.  From the looks of my picture you can see that clearly the fireworks did not happen.  We woke up to 10 inches of snow this morning and the fireworks are set off from the top of this mountain.  A man has to hike up to the top with the fireworks, due to weather the fireworks were canceled, again.   You will more than likely see this harbor in a few more pictures, my husband is replacing the empty floats that you see starting on Tuesday.

Day Fifty

{Icicles} I am skipping Joy of Love today.  I meant to get a picture of the fireworks display that the town puts on each year, but it was rescheduled for tomorrow due to weather. 

Day Forty Nine

{Date Night}  We had a wonderful dinner.  I made Portland Dips, which they make at McMenamins (which we miss dearly).  Then we went to the movies to see True Grit.  Fun evening.

Day Forty Eight

{Staying In} Style. Today's Joy of Love theme is staying in. I am struggling with all these inside photos.  Tomorrow I might just have to take a break and do my own thing, I am missing my outdoor shots.  If we are staying in then one thing is for sure, I am wearing my Juicy Couture tracksuit. Today's picture is of the signature J zipper.  Love me some Juicy Couture.

Day Forty Seven

{Together Forever} Joy of Love day 16 theme: Together (self portrait).  This is a picture of us standing in the living room of our new home.  Just plywood now, but soon it will be a room with a lovely view.

Day Forty Six

{Hugs and Kisses}  Joy of Love Day 15 theme: kisses... Ok, Sever and I are probably two of the most modest people around.  Probably the most romantic people have seen us is at our wedding. We don't kiss in public and the lovely dovey stuff just isn't who we are.  This picture I of course did not take, however the story behind it is a good one.  We went to Maui in December for our belated honeymoon.  Our last day was of course Christmas, so we got all dressed up for dinner.  I wanted a nice picture of us, because as you know when you are on the trip with just you and your husband most pictures only have one of you in them.  So, the sunset was beautiful and we headed down along the beach to find someone we trusted to take our picture.  We found one nice lady, but my settings were set too dark and I didn't have the heart to make her take one once I adjusted them.  So we kept walking, we went past the luau...of course a nice drunk man offered to take our picture, Sever and I both are thinking to ourselves please don't run away with my camera and all our honeymoon pictures.  Luckily he just took a few pictures, he then started to get really into it and said "come on man, just kiss her,"  awkward...remember how we are modest people.  Ha!  Well there is the story behind the picture!

SOOC

{RIP} Dog Heaven is rejoicing tonight!  Only the good die young, Buck was one of the best! 

Day Forty Five

{Wedding Bands}  Joy of Love day 14 theme: wedding bands. 

 

  What a guy... came home covered in rust with a dozen roses and a case of Stella.  True love!

Happy Day of Love!

{Wet dog kisses to all}

 

Day forty five coming soon! 

Day Forty Four

{Dinner Time}  Joy of Love day 13: routines.  Hands down my favorite routine is feeding Moser dinner.  This dog is a riot!  Every night at five o'clock it starts.  Moser starts randomly heeling.  He listens very well to all commands around this time too.  If you don't pay attention to him well, then he barks at you.  It is dinner time and he knows it.  Sometimes we like to mess with him and say "Is it dinner time?  Are you hungry?" he goes crazy. Never, ever will this dog go hungry, I promise you that. Really this deserves a video not a photograph, one of these days...

Day Forty Three

{Sad Eyes}  So today's theme was so fitting...eyes!  I spent the morning at the vet with Moser, whom has eye conjunctivitis...awesome.  He looks so sad in this picture. 

{Paddle Boarding in Alaska?}  So I was at the tattoo shop this afternoon getting finger printed (that is another story) and looked out the window to see this man on a paddle board.  What?!  Crazy man, this is not Hawaii!  This is the best picture and the only picture I got, he was going way too fast...and I was on the dock with an obstructed view.  

Day Forty Two

{Dreams} Simply a picture of our house plans.

Day Forty One

{Spaces and Comfort}  Joy of Love Day 10, theme of the day is where are they comfortable. Moser loves to look out the window, I've mentioned this before.  One of his favorite comfortable spaces is sitting on our bed (which isn't always allowed) looking out the window. 

Day Forty

{Gun Dog} The Joy of Love theme for the day was passions and hobbies.  Both my husband and our dog love to go duck hunting.  Moser (the lab) might just love it more however.  Today's picture is of rusty shot gun shells.

Day Thirty Nine

{Gift from the Heart} Today's Joy of Love theme was a gift from the heart.  I feel that my education is the best gift I have ever been given.  No, I didn't have a full ride to college.  I did however have two loving parents that instilled in me that your education is invaluable, your education is something that can NEVER ever be taken away from you.  Yes, I am still paying off my masters degree. But honestly the gift of being able to wake up every morning and love going to work, priceless! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Day Thirty Eight

{Who do They Love}  Joy of Love day six.  I am not a fan of this dark Alaskan light.  I come home from work and can't get a good inside shot because there is no light.  This picture is of Moser, he loves his brother, Buck.  They are really brothers, same parents just different litters.  The best of friends.

Yes, I used my flash...tisk tisk, I know.  Praying for some summer lighting here soon, light until 10pm is sounding more my style.  Have you noticed that I turn all my inside shots to black and white, I am really going to attempt to be better about inside shots.  It would help if I had a better lens...hint, hint!

Day Thirty Seven

{Cheese Curds}  The Joy of Love theme for tomorrow is generations, today's theme is who they love.  I am going to flip flop my days.  Since today is the super bowl and my father in law is from Wisconsin, the theme generations works well for today!  Here is a picture of my husband, his cousin Nicci, and my father in law, Jan eating deep fried cheese curds during half time of the Superbowl.  YUCK!!!  Their facial expressions crack me up!

Yes, the cheese head is way too bright... I am still figuring out how to add splashes of color.  Any advice?  Sorry for the grainy photo too, inside photos kill me.

Day Thirty Six

{Love to Hate}  Joy of Love theme for today was love to hate... I love that Sever loves his job, but I hate that it is dangerous and so far away from my family. Picture of the day is Sever working on the barge this morning.  It was so bloody cold but fun to be up at the crack of dawn taking pictures.  Enjoy!

Day Thirty Five

{Working Man} Joy of Love day 4, the theme was "what they wear."  Here is a picture of Sever, just home from work...he is covered in rust from working out on the barge all day.  His two fingers are wrapped in electricians tape, which is holding on his band-aids.  He is a manly man for sure :)

{house update} Cooking right along, hope to have a house to live in by June.  So very exciting!

Day Thirty Four

{Now and Then} Today got away from me and the theme for my Joy of Love class threw me off a little.  Now and then, I was trying to be creative.  I took a couple of pictures of Moser today, but I HATE inside lighting right now.  I come home from work and I can't get a good enough picture because it is dark outside.  So, I am cheating...I took this picture of Moser a couple of weeks ago.  GASP!  I know, I know...I did take a picture of him today, I just don't like it...bad me! 

That little Moser was only 6 weeks old, really tiny and soo cute.  We were at a father's day picnic with my family. 

 Blurry storybook template, they frustrate me so much.  All in favor of a photoshop class say I...

Day Thirty Three

{A real looker}  Joy of Love day 2: How they look was the theme!  Here is a picture of Sever, my husband, hard at work.  He is an engineer and looks it in this picture.  I rode with him out to check on one of his jobs. 

 

 

 

 

Day Thirty Two

{Catch Light}  I started the Joy of Love class today, check it out here.  So today's theme was what they do...meaning what do those you love do.  The tutorial was on catchlights.  So here is Moser doing what he loves to do, sit and look out the window.  Usually he likes to sit by the window and sunbathe, but alas it is pouring rain in Alaska today.
