Storm

Posted by Brooke on June 18, 2010 · 2 Comments 

This morning, I woke up to storm sirens blaring outside my window.  So, obviously, I grabbed my camera and ran outside just in time to watch a huge wall cloud engulf the sky above my house: Unfortunately (I love severe weather), these ominous clouds were deceptive.  The storm wasn’t too bad, but the wind did blow some things around the yard.  As I was pulling out of my driveway to head to a manicure/pedicure date with my younger cousins,... Read More

A blue sunset (thanks to Hipstamatic): This week and next are slightly insane.  To put it in perspective, after a meeting, I had this conversation with my mom: Me:  I need wine.  Do you have any, or did the Family Friend clean you out again (joking)? Mom:  Gone.  That sounds good to me too.  I should have Dad go buy more. Me:  He just packed up and went. Mom: Packed and went where? Me:  I mean, he grabbed Leo and went upstairs.

Changes

Posted by Brooke on April 30, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

I decided that it was time for a change.  So, I shopped around and came up with an adequate layout.  I’m currently drowning in html and css code, but I can finally see the finish line.  I have a few more tweaks to make, but by the end of this weekend, the new site should be complete.  Bear with me until then. This new design allows for larger Daily Photo’s and Style photos.  I know you were all dying to see me in greater detail.  Don’t... Read More
