Hi there loyal blog readers!  I know I’ve been a bit MIA. Never fear… Catherine and John are getting married on Saturday and you are in for a visual treat!  In the mean time… I’m starting something new!  A Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down post.  Just some ramblings about good and bad things that have happened over the weeks.  Check back for them periodically!  This weeks Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down is centered around turning a quarter century old. Eww. That sounds awful.  My friends and family made it amazing, though.  So, here’s to 25…. hopefully great things to come!

KELLY MOORE BAGS:  My mom and step-dad Jim gave me the most gorgeous camera bag.  Why do i love it so much? I don’t know… because it looks like a PURSE.  My camera is extra safe and it’s extra stylish. Photographers check her out!

VIP STATUS:  My brother scored some amazing tickets to the Sublime with Rome and 311 concert.  We were feeling prettttty spoiled with our front row parking, free popcorn and OUR OWN BATHROOMS!

FAIRFAX:  The newest ADORABLE fur baby to the Rehberg family (see below).  He’s a rescue French Bull Dog with an oddly bum leg and a leftward growing tail. Fairfax was his given name… pure coincidence. So, don’t get all weird and judgy saying we should’ve named him Spotsylvania or something. (We still miss you Targey!)

 

AMY WINEHOUSE: I loved her.  Her music keeps me company on many car rides and editing sessions. So sad to hear of her passing.

HEAT:  Yes, my brother scored awesome tickets for Friday night. Downside: We sat in puddles of our own sweat.  Disgusting.

FLYING SHRIMP:  My family took my friends and I to Sakura for my birthday dinner.  You know, the place where they cook your meal in front of you and put on a show?  Well, for those of you who haven’t been, they throw pieces shrimp at you to see if you can catch it in your mouth. I never can… It’s embarrassing.
