A 70's Photoshoot

5 am on Friday was a little early for our creative juices to be flowing, but luckily, Meisha, Chelsie, Jessica and I were able to function just enough to pull together an amazing photo shoot! Our group did a 70's theme shoot with a soul funk feel. April and Ephraim were our models and despite the early hours, practice's, cold weather in hardly any clothes and being burned with blow dryer's, etc. they helped us accomplish just what we were looking for!

Here's Jessica and Chelsie working and trying to stay awake. Sweet April- she looks like the only one happy to be there :)

Here's me doing April's make- up.

Here's Meisha gett'n Ephraim all ready

I seriously love my team so much and I think we did such an amazing job. There were a few complications, like always- to make a long story short, we were going to use a vintage car in the shoot (a VW bug) and the night before we went to pick it up and it wouldn't start! Ya! So, needless to say after a few long hours of trying get it to work to no avail, we had to make a plan B really fast. Sarah Jane came to the rescue and let us borrow her husband's scooter. It all ended up working out great and we had so much fun working on April and Ephraim- they were such troopers through the whole thing!

These are shots that I took real fast on my camera, but as soon as we get the real ones back, I'll post them!

And here's some shots from the other groups' photo shoots. Everyone did such a great job!

A WICKED night

My mom surprised me with tickets to go see "Wicked"! We had such a blast. We started our night off with dinner at Chili's (yes we got the molten lava cake... mmmm) and filled ourselves full of diet coke (we had been up the whole night before cleaning my house getting it ready for our moving day and were a tad bit tired) Neither my mom nor I knew tons about the musical- we heard from everyone how amazing it was, and we were excited to experience it ourselves. What an experience it was- it was better than I could've imagined it to be! There were times I literally had goose bumps because the music is so amazing (like during "Defying Gravity" when she's floating in the air) And yes I teared up at the end during the last song, partly cause I didn't want it to end, but mostly because the story is so touching! I loved it! Thank you mom for an amazingly wicked night! I love you!

OUR NEW HOUSE

So- this is it- on April 10th we're closing on our house and it will officially be ours!!!!! We did our final walk through yesterday and it got me more excited than ever! It feels like it's been a long road to find it- we started looking back in October of last year, but every house we liked and put an offer on was usually a short sale and didn't pan out.

People kept telling us that when we found the right one we'd know and everything would just fall into place. ( I felt more like I was dating again than looking for a house :) ) We definitely felt like we saw every single floor plan out there and every single town home in lehi and american fork. We even branched out and looked at The Ranches in Eagle Mountain.

Well, you obviously know the end of this story- we walked through this house, fell in love, went out to our realtor's car and made the offer right then and there, they accepted our offer and we just couldn't be happier!!!!!

So, wanna see the inside??? Here's some more pics...
