This weekend I learned a few things from hanging out with two of the coolest kids in the world.

1) Pickles live in attics … which is likely why seagulls knock at windows upstairs and

2) The little things in life put the big things into a better perspective.

More often than not, we race through our work week, pining for the weekend, hat concert, or the next vacation. There were so many moments that we spent playing dominoes, building sand castles, throwing a frisbee, getting chased by waves, feeding seagulls, exploring pipes with awful green bubbly slime, that all in all, I probably got no more than 10 hours of sleep for the weekend.

We packed each day full to the brim, and I’m going I ensure that once I get that sleep back, I keep up this mantra … enjoying every waking moment with those I love. Whether we’re exploring tide pools or just laying in the sun on the couch, there’s always something to smile and giggle about. You just have to have some imagination and a unique perspective on the world around you.

A gorgeous ferry ride passing the one departing from Kingston. Gorgeous weekend filled with love, laughter, and famship.

A ferry ride to Bainbridge Island toting a big chair lovingly given to us years ago that is returning home. Ivana is such a trooper!

The view from our room at the Hyatt Regency inside DFW airport. Made it over to Billy Bob’s Texas last night to see Willie Nelson perform. Definitely something on the bucket list that is checked off. We were also able to witness infants at smoke filled bars, mirror encrusted saddles (where a disco ball should hang), professional bull riding, more sequins than I’ve ever seen at any Seattle drag show (which is saying something) and fried everything. Oh and recycling? Forget about it.

Happy to keep heading south past The South to Central America today. Let’s do this Belize. Can’t wait to see your non-concrete jungle.

On my way to Conversion Conference.

I love this sculpture. It’s right down at the Othello Light Rail station on the southbound side. I’ve been looking forward to shooting it for some time now, happy that today was a great day for it.

Heading back home after a lovely jaunt down to Vancouver. Time spent with our famship was delightful as always. Good wine and daiquiris, stellar laughter and food, so much love and respect. Happy birthday again mom. Love you tons!!

Partner yoga at the villa. Nothing like a rooftop session to kick a Cubano bar hangover. What a fun night last night. This bar was great. They let you sign your name anywhere you want with a marker. The whole place had been tagged up since the 1940s. Such a great spot. Capariñas, dancing and 800% humidity made for a great post mariachi meal.

Yesterday our dear friends David and Alyssa got hitched. It was truly a magnificent culmination to a beautiful week. Just down the beach from the villa they rented we camped out on white chairs, and enjoyed the waves crashing just beyond the two love birds. Later we had good drinks, a massive set of fireworks off the coast, a pool party and well, more tequila. We couldn’t be happier for you two, for the friends you have surrounded yourselves with and the adventures you’re about to embark on … and the countless ones to come thereafter. Congrats kids!

Thank you for the opportunity to offer up our creative services as well. Spun and I loved working together in our shop sewing and silk screening the canvas tote bags (photos coming soon) and necklaces, bracelets and earrings for the bridal party (again, more photos soon). We couldn’t be more thrilled with how well they were received and we’re grateful for your thanks and gratitude throughout the week. Truly, our pleasure.

To a lifetime of the wind at your back, a smile on your face, and each other on your arm, we love you guys. Congrats.
