WOW I’ve been busy the last couple of weeks! Lots of catching up and staying ahead with school work while trying to throw some fun into the mix—necessary for any college student’s sanity : )
I’ve never really “celebrated” St. Patrick’s Day, but last year and this year I have spent it with Cody’s sister Keana and their mom—Keana makes delicious corned beef, potatoes, and cabbage and we eat every bit of it : ) This year their cousins Dave and Laura were coming up here for a family event in Seattle so they came over to Keana’s house to share in what is becoming the traditional Irish-flare dinner. I had only met them once before when Cody and I were in California last summer, but they are the kind of people to make you feel welcome even if they just met you 5 minutes ago! My friend Brent joined the family as well, and Cody and Keana's youngest sister Holly came over too. Lots of good food and laughter, can’t ever go wrong with that combination! Joey instantly attached himself to Brent and was glad to have someone he could sucker into “climbing the mountain” in the back yard with him : ) I, of course, had my camera with me to capture some of the silliness of the evening..
"Hey Ashers, let's go climb the mountain up to the fence and take pictures!" : )
Joey's "booty dance"....love this kid!

Gathered around finger foods and wine!
Over the last couple of weeks I started training with Melanie for the 5k we signed up for in May…just under 7 weeks to go and I feel like I’ve got a LONG way to go still! I’ve decided that instead of my goal being to run the whole 3.something miles, I want to run at least a mile of it. It may seem as if I might be undercutting the point of running a 5k (it is technically a run/walk), but for a girl that one, doesn’t think of running as something “fun” and two, has NEVER been able to run a full mile without stopping, I think it’s a perfectly acceptable goal!! *lol* I’m up to 3 minutes of running without having to stop, but at a very slow pace. I do better on the treadmill than I do outside, but the treadmill does a better job of making me keep on going than I do : ) Think I’m gonna have to up the number of days I run in a week, we’ll see how that goes.
I am beyond ready for some sun!!! This rain is just not doing it for me lately…BUT, it did make for some super cute engagement pictures this past weekend! I work with Ferowsi, and she recently asked me to shoot their wedding in May in Key West. I was really nervous about doing their pictures (and excited at the same time), but after working with them for their engagement photos I really can’t wait to do it again in May! Despite the rain, I had so much fun roaming around downtown Tacoma with them and capturing both their fun and loving sides. I am beyond grateful to them for the opportunity to get a wedding shoot under my belt, and who could ask for a better setting than paradise?! : ) Here are a few of my favorites from the other day..
My spring break is coming up next week, and with it comes catching up on my scrapbook stuff, donating blood, a couple of work days, along with another engagement session for a classmate of mine and a family portrait for my good friends Chris and Courtnie with their newest little addition to the family, Caylee. Very much looking forward to both sessions!
Hope everyone has a great week!
