I Love Living in Washington (state that is...)

Last week I was able to see three of my good friends from attending Brooks: Karen, Steph and Tim. I'm sure you'll recognize the latter, since their beautiful faces have been on my blog before. Here are photos from our day trip to Sequim and Port Townsend, both places I have never been before. I can tell you one thing, it won't be the last time I'll be visiting. I loved these quiet little towns!

A Little Bit of Coloradoooo

So sorry for the 8 day gap between blog posts. It seems like I've been all over the place as of late but it's mostly all the driving I've been doing. I'm attempting to make this blog a little bit more diverse in my work in that I'll be sharing more of my personal photos. Be warned: I take a lot of photos of food. It screams to be photographed (to me anyway). So with that, I'll leave you with some of my favorite images from my recent trip to visit my friends in Denver!

We went downtown Denver for some grub at Illegal Pete's. I ordered some taquitos!

On one day, we went to the Denver Art Museum. It is definitely a lot cooler than the S.A.M.

I really enjoyed the photography section of the museum and I especially loved this quote.

Joe and I kinda stalked this guy... in the sense that we kept trying to get a photo of him. Check out Joe's photo here.

Driving up to Daniels Park!

Have you guys heard of the campaign Falling Whistles? It's a campaign for peace in the Congo. Anyway, they sell these whistles as awareness and Joe has the 260th whistle. It's engraved on his! If you buy one now, they don't do that anymore since so many are being purchased now. So neat that Joe has his!

Colorado sunsets definitely own any that I've ever seen.

At night, we headed to The Shoppe: a cold cereal bar. They also sell cupcakes and other delicious treats. I tried the S'more cereal combination. It's such a neat little shop- board games, local art and sweet music!

Thanks for the fun times Hailey and Joe!

Family Reunion!

Work hasn't been much of a priority lately... I do wish that I had more time to devote to it within the past few days but life's been kind of hectic lately. My mom's side of the family decided to have a family reunion this year. It's been eight years since our last one. My grandma turned 80 back in April... so they thought this year would be great to get together and celebrate her belated birthday as well. Some background- my grandparents had a total of twelve kids but only eight of them are still living. All of these aunts and uncles have their own families of course and a couple of my cousins are married and have children... So, as you can imagine, I have a pretty large family. Not everyone could make it but we still had a successful get-together.

My room, actually my whole house, is playing guest house apparently (except for the rents' room), so I've been living at my aunt's (on my dad's side) for the past few days with my cousins. We come here for the night and go back home for the day. Good thing I only live a 2 minute drive away ;)

Anyway, here are some photos from last Saturday's festivities. To see more, click here. And yes, the blue was planned!

Also, I have two pending sessions to post but I honestly don't know when I'll be able to get those up ;) Thanks for your patience!

Cousin Nataly- she's feisty.

The Fuzzy Cuzzie Clan (the unmarried ones essentially hahaha)

Aunt #4, my mom (#8), Aunt #5, and Aunt #10 (In Vietnamese, we call them by their number in the order of birth)

All the family (keep in mind we have like 4 or 5 families missing...)
