happy birthday J!!

today is one of my niece's birthday..."J".





she's gorgeous and we are going to get together
to do her birthday hair/photo shoot very soon.
we just love doing those! she loves the camera!
can't wait!~

last night, a local liquor store held their
semi annual wine tasting at their bloomington
location from 6 to 8. we saddled up with ron
& cindy and headed over. this is a great opportunity
to try different things without investing the moola.



a nice, everyday chilean cab..$8.99



that's phil in the middle....owner.



came home, cracked a bottle and built a fire.
(taped "the office"!)

today, a couple of cancer families at the hilton
and my friend megan is coming to town to shoot a
wedding for bella. i'm going to bring her to my
church on sunday and then hang out. love her! :)

looks like we will be staying at the lovely lunata
in playa del carmen mexico in february. i've stayed
there before with my sister in law, nicki (the one
with the bum wheel...not broken by the way just a
really bad sprain!).







what's nice about lunata is that they pass on a
15% savings to returning clients.
not to mention that it's right in the middle of
town where all the action is. this time we have
a room that will face 5th avenue...nice!
also, they have bikes for you to use and a night
guard by the gate everynight...super safe!

i want to thank the fun folks at MEI for allowing
me to come out and photograph their group.
it was an absolute pleasure! thanks

have a wonderful day.

happy birthday j. i love you! have a fun day!
