Welcome to the Badass Club

I was just thinking about Jed and how I really wish I could be at his big movie showing tomorrow so I guess that's why I decided to post this blog now. I hope it all goes well, I know it will.

Quite a few months back I went with my friend Jed to watch him get his first tattoo. He got the name of his self published book tattooed on his arm. I think we were there for about 3 or 4 hours but I enjoyed watching every minute of it. Okay...okay...so I didn't REALLY watch the whole thing. Like when his arm started bleeding...yep....totally looked the other direction. But, I did really have a good time experiencing that moment with him and he did look pretty bad ass when it was done.

Sweet Ivy Elisabeth

One of my best friends just gave birth to a gorgeous little girl on April 2, 2009. Her name is Ivy Elisabeth and today I got to meet the sweet little thing. Ivy's mom, Laura, and I have been best friends for many years now so hanging out with her family feels kind of like I am hanging out with my own. With a house full of people I still managed to get a few pictures of Ivy but I sense a photo shoot soon filled with lots of fun wardrobe and location changes. :)
I haven't gone through all the photos yet so I may post more later but in the mean time.....


Ivy sleeping so sweetly. She really was just perfect.:


Ivy's cousin Ben was also there. Talk about a photogenic baby!:


I am working on some (ok...many) birth announcement options for Ivy. Here are just a couple:
