I still hadn’t bought any clothes for the baby yet, but with four weeks until our due date I kept telling myself I had plenty of time to find the perfect outfit. Something worthy of the title “a mama’s first outfit for her daughter.” It needed to be perfect. </div>

Like I do with 99% of the clothes I want to buy, I talked myself out of it because Lord knows we were destined to have a big baby. Everyone in both of our families has big babies, Jordan and I were both big babies; it was just in the cards. And chances were her head wouldn’t even fit into a newborn onesie anyway. Have you <i>seen</i> my husband’s head? Or <i>mine</i> for that matter?</div>

My water broke three weeks and one day before my due date. It woke me out of a dead sleep around 5 AM, and after a quick trip to the bathroom I decided to go back to sleep, easily convincing myself there was absolutely no way that’s what had happened. I mean, c’mon, weird things happen when you’re pregnant. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">
Only, it happened again. Twice, actually. I figured I better do what any responsible adult would do: Google it. Duh. I sauntered downstairs and hopped on my laptop, only to find out that my water probably <i>did</i> break but to call my doctor and go get checked to be sure. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">
But I called my friend Kirsten first… because 1) she’s a nurse, 2) her water broke when she had her baby, and 3) she’s awesome and I knew she wouldn’t mind me calling her at 6:30 AM. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;">

Kirsten confirmed what Google confirmed, but before calling the doctor to make it real, I sauntered back upstairs to chat with Jordan. </div>

He had just woken up and was checking his phone, since he was supposed to go to Pullman for work that day. He was telling me something about work so I just let him talk for a few minutes before casually saying, “So, I’m not really sure, but I think my water broke about an hour ago.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;">

One of my favorite things to do is to drop really serious news in a totally casual fashion. I know, it’s weird. </div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">
He stared at me silently for a few seconds to see if I was kidding, quickly realized I wasn’t, and bolted up out of bed. Equally nervous and excited he asked, “WHAT?!?! Are you sure? So what do we do?”</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">
I kept saying I wasn’t sure because I didn’t want it to be a false alarm and get everyone riled up for no reason. Finally conceding, I called the doctor and they told me I needed to head to the hospital to confirm if my water had in fact broken. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;">

“Do we need to go now, or can we take our time and get ready?” I asked, because I only ask the really important questions. </div>

Meanwhile, my husband, the responsible one, was frantically taking a shower, throwing things in our hospital bag, ripping open the box to the carseat we still hadn’t opened, and all the while I was perfectly relaxed. Talk about a role-reversal. </div>

Since I wasn’t having any contractions, I took my sweet time getting ready, well aware this could be our last time in our house just the two of us. </div>

After a quick call to my mom – again, reassuring her “this could be nothing” – we rounded up the last of what we might need and headed out the door. I had heard that you’re not supposed to eat or drink anything during labor, so I insisted we stop by Starbucks on our way to the hospital since <i>we still weren’t sure this was the real thing. </i></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">
We both looked at each other. I knew Jordan was probably going to make up some normal answer, so I quickly blurted out, “We’re headed to the hospital. My water broke!”</div>

My mom beat us to the hospital (even though she lives 20 minutes farther from it than we do), and was hanging out in the waiting room when we arrived. A nurse with a thick Scottish accent greeted us and took us back to a tiny little room to run some tests. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">
That was the point everything sunk in – I really could be having a baby <i>today</i> – and my blood pressure made light of the fact that I was getting anxious. We tried to make conversation with the nurse, even though we couldn’t understand half of what she said because of her thick accent.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;">

The tests seemed to take forever, but after a hushed conversation with the doctor she finally said it, “Well, it’s confirmed: your water broke. You’re going to have this baby in the next 24 hours!”</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">
I’m pretty sure Jordan and I both went into shock. Clearly not grasping what was happening, all I could think to ask was, “So can I finish my coffee?”</div>

We went to tell my mom the news, and I was suddenly so glad she had decided to come to the hospital. As they led us to our room I just kept thinking, <i>I can’t believe this is really happening… We’re going to meet our daughter in the next 24 hours…</i></div>

Shortly after we settled into our room and texted a billion people to tell them the news, Jordan’s mom arrived. The next few hours were filled with laughter, stories from our mamas of when we were born, and generally trying to wrap our brains around the fact that our baby was on her way. The only thing missing was contractions. </div>

They decided to start me on Pitocin early that afternoon to move things along because my body wasn’t going into labor on its own. For the next couple hours, the nurse kept coming in to ask if I was feeling any contractions or any pain at all… <i>Nope. Nothing.</i> </div>

My sister showed up right before the contractions did. We joked through most of them, and things didn’t start to get serious until late afternoon when they decided to break the rest of my water (apparently that’s a thing.) Even though the contractions got more intense, I was still only dilated to a 1. A fricken’ <i>1</i>. And I was at a 1 or “maybe a 2” (I truly think they kept telling me “maybe a 2” so I wouldn’t cry) for hours. </div>

I remember thinking that the pain was bad but doable, and I think the athlete in me kept waiving off the epidural to see how long I could go without it. I had no intention of having this baby without drugs – in fact, when the nurses asked what my birth plan was, I simply said, “have a healthy baby” – but I didn’t want to get the epidural until I really needed it. After a couple doses of Fentinol and almost 10 hours of labor later, I caved. It was reassuring to know my body could’ve handled the pain, but I knew that when the time came to push I would have been exhausted because I was still “maybe a 2.”</div>

I was literally shaking in the minutes we waited for the epidural to arrive. Looking back on the entire experience from start to finish, I was more nervous about getting the epidural than I was about anything else. </div>

Jordan and I looked at each other and I stifled a laugh. Clearly he was kidding…or maybe I didn’t understand him correctly? But no one else was laughing and we quickly realized this wasn’t a joke. Before I could think it through, I basically shouted, “Wait, WHAT?!?!? You’re an<i> INTERN</i>???” </div>

The magic of the epidural worked quickly and I could feel my entire body begin to relax for the first time all day as my legs went numb. Most of our visitors had gone home by this point since it was now close to midnight. </div>

An hour later I began to feel the waves of pain again on my right side, so we had to call “the intern” back in to give me another dose. The funny part of getting a second dose of the magic epidural was that my right side now had the perfect amount of numbness but, upon getting the double dose, my left side was now completely useless, dead weight, a foreign object attached to my body.</div>

A couple friends had told me they were actually able to sleep while they were in labor after getting an epidural, and in my head I had written them off as liars. Turns out they were right. My body was finally able to relax through the contractions and the last thing I remember seeing was the faint glow of Jordan’s laptop and my mom’s iPad as I drifted off into a deep sleep. </div>

I can’t remember if the beeping of the machines woke me up or if it was the nurse coming in to check on me, but I had a brief moment of not knowing where I was or what was going on. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;">

The nurse did a quick check, and stared at me with a big smile. “Guess what? You’re at a 5!” </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;">

I was still trying to fully wake up and get my bearings when she decided to do another check just minutes later. That’s when I really woke up because, shocked, she said, “Oh my God! You’re at an 8 now! You just went from a 5 to an 8 in three minutes! This baby is going to be here SOON! You’ll probably be pushing in 20 minutes… We need to call the doctor!”</div>

As she rushed out to call the doctor, Jordan and my mom made their phone calls as well. It was almost 3 o’clock in the morning so the call list was small, but I quickly got word that they were on their way. </div>

It was in this moment that I started to cry. I cried because I was nervous for what the next hour of my life would look like, yes, but mostly I cried because I knew that my life was about to change forever.</div>

The next 20 minutes were a blur. I remember asking Jordan if he was ready. I remember what seemed like dozens of doctors and nurses scurrying around prepping our room. I remember my mom looking at me with tears in her eyes as she kissed my forehead, told me she loved me, and left the room so Jordan and I could meet our daughter together, just the two of us. </div>

The funny part of having your first baby is that when they tell you to push, you don’t really know exactly what that means or how hard to push. Do you pace yourself because you could be pushing for hours? Or do you just go for it? </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;">

Each round of contractions, Jordan and the crew of nurses and doctors would cheer me on, “Push! Push! Push! You can do it!” And I kept saying back, “I feel like my face is going to explode! Is that normal?!” I never got a verbal answer but they quickly put an oxygen mask over my mouth.</div>

There are certain moments in life that you just know will be engrained in your memory forever. Feeling the weight of her tiny body on my chest in those first few seconds of her life brought a new set of tears as I said my first words to her, “Happy birthday, sweet girl.”</div>

Later that morning after our visitors had cleared out of our room, Jordan and I knew we had to decide on a name. We had a list of close to 10 names we liked, but quickly crossed most of them off the list because “that name’s not feisty enough” or “she’s more sassy than that name” or “she’s too strong for that name.” </div>

In the hours and days that followed, we fell hard for miss Lolo. Of course we loved her from the start, but that first week of bonding with her turned our world upside down.</div>

People always tell you how hard it is to be a parent, especially during the first few weeks. But what they don’t tell you is how you will be so enamored with your baby that you will lose track of time just staring at her. They don’t tell you that you will cry because you love her so much it actually makes your heart hurt. They don’t tell you that you will fall in love with your husband in a way you didn’t even know existed. They don’t tell you that you will experience all kinds of emotions, but that the intensity of your joy will trump them all.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
So, I
turn 30 in a month and against all odds, I’m pretty pumped about it. Really. No
sarcasm. Sure, I have already received some not-so-stellar-yet-tell-tale signs
that the good ol’ 3-0 is waiting for me with open arms – crows feet creeping in
around my eyes, buying peanut butter that I have to keep refrigerated, a stiff neck nearly every morning when I wake up, catching
myself muttering things like “kids these days…” and a serious dependency on
coffee, just to name a few.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">But, at
the risk of sounding cheesy, this nice little round number has given me so much
more than that; it’s given me 30 years of lessons learned. While many were
painful and learned the hard way, the result has been pretty overwhelmingly
beautiful. And since self-reflection is a skill I pride myself on and since
turning 30 might mean I’m officially an adult with somewhat worthwhile things
to say, here are a few life lessons from yours truly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">*Even
though it comes across like I’ve mastered these things below and that I have my
shit together, I haven’t and I don’t.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">**I’m
guessing the 40-year-old me will read this and want to somehow figure out a way
to punch my 30-year-old self in the face. Dually noted.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">1. <b>Life
(and money, really) is all about priorities and everyone’s priorities are different.</b> The sooner you realize that, the
sooner you’ll be able to quit looking at what other people have and wonder (or
even care) why they have it and how they got it. Quit judging your friends with
“no money” who just bought a second big screen TV – that is their priority. Or
your friends in their 30s who travel all the time but still live with their
parents. Priorities, baby.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">2. <b>Everyone
should own a dog (or a cat, if you’re into that.)</b> But seriously, my dog makes me
laugh at least once a day and she’s really not even that funny. And, you will
never find a human being who will make you feel as awesome as your dog will
every single time you walk in the door, whether you’ve been gone for five days
or five minutes. Beyond that, a dog has the power to slowly turn a selfish
twenty-something into someone who chooses to foot a $200 vet bill instead of
buying new Frye boots without even thinking about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">3. <b>Education
is never a waste, even if you aren’t using your degree in your career.</b> My husband has his law degree and
isn’t practicing law. I have a Masters in Teaching and am no longer a teacher. As
much as we make jokes about this and want to slap a “#FAIL” hashtag on our
student loan payment stubs, we both know deep down that we use things we’ve
learned from that schooling EVERY SINGLE DAY, and those degrees have opened
doors we didn’t even know existed. The best part? We have both met some
lifelong friends in the process, whom we like to call our “really expensive
friends.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">4. <b>Quit
saying, “I don’t have time to [fill in the blank with something you want to
do],” and kindly rephrase: “I don’t<i> make</i></b><b> time to [fill in the blank
with something you want to do].” </b>Sometimes I go read a book at Starbucks all by myself and
without fail one friend or another will say, “Oh, I wish I had time to do
that!” Unless you’re the President of the United States, I’m pretty sure you
have a spare half hour every once in a while. And if you can’t make time for
it, it’s probably not that important to you anyway. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">5. <b>Keep
the real intention of your Facebook/Instagram posts in check.</b> Prime example: we scored some
pretty awesome floor seats to the Zac Brown Band concert a few months ago and
after taking some pictures on my phone, the moment of truth came as I had my
Facebook app open… “This picture isn’t even that cool, so why am I posting it?
Just so everyone sees my rad floor seats and comments how jealous they are?”
Needless to say, I didn’t post it and neither should you. (NOTE: If you <i>are</i> going to post a picture on social
media, please, for the love of God, double-tap your screen so it’s in focus.
Braggy pictures are at least better than blurry pictures.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">6. <b>You
are who you hang out with. </b>This is tricky because I think it’s just as important to be friends
with people who are different from you as it is to be friends with those who
are similar. But I’ve realized that you begin to think and act like the people
you’re around the most, sometimes for the better and sometimes not. When I am
around friends who are real and authentic, who swear a lot, who are successful,
who party a lot, who are home-bodies, who work out a lot, who [fill in the
blank], I subconsciously start to become those things too. Not only that, but
people on the outside will start to lump you into the same category as the
people you’re friends with, whether it’s accurate or not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">7. <b>The
difference between people who do cool stuff and people who don’t isn’t the
amount of money they have; it is simply having the balls to click the
confirmation button…or punch a hole in your wall.</b> A lot of people tell my husband
and I “how cool it is that we are always doing something” and how they “wish
they could do that someday,” whether it’s living abroad, skydiving, going on
really cool trips, starting new businesses, or even remodeling a house. We figured
this out a long time ago: click “Confirm” on the plane flights and it will
force you to go, or knock a hole in your wall and you’ll have to tear down the
wall and start your remodel. Just <i>DO IT</i>. The details and the money will sort themselves
out later. They always do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">8. <b>Don’t
feel guilty for quitting a job (or career) you don’t enjoy.</b> Too many people hate their jobs
and whether you realize it or not, hating your job seeps into every aspect of
your life. People can try and make you feel guilty all day long, but at the end
of the day, they aren’t the ones who have to get up in the morning and go to
that job. You are.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">9. <b>But,
with that said, there is no such thing as the perfect job.</b> I’ve had a variety of jobs
(including working from home), many of which people have said they envy, and
trust me, no job is EVER as glamorous as it seems. I’m pretty convinced that
anyone who says they love their job every single day is a liar. Or their life
at home is pretty terrible. So quit believing in the fantasy of “the perfect
job.” It doesn’t exist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">10. <b>If
you’re not strong enough to question your religion, your faith isn’t very
strong to begin with.</b>
God can handle being questioned and I would venture to think He would encourage
it. He gave us a brain for a reason, no? The times I’ve felt closest to God are
when I’m going against the grain and making sense of the world in my own,
unique way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">11. <b>Travel
while you’re young.</b>
This is by far the most common life advice I’ve received from people over the
age of 50, and I’ve experienced firsthand why it is true. If I’m honest with
myself, traveling is equally exhausting as it is amazing. Trekking through
Europe is awesome <i>right now</i> because I have the energy, health, and strength to enjoy
it. Even though I might have more money by the time I’m 65, I’m pretty sure my
ideal vacation at that age will be laying on a beach somewhere and not moving.
That is, if I even make it to age 65… Case and point: travel now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">12. <b>Get
back to people (via text, email, or whatever) in a timely fashion.</b> This includes friends, clients,
your parents, and any other human being for that matter. I know it sounds like
a seemingly unimportant thing, but I’ve been on both sides of this one and
seriously, I don’t care how busy you are, how many kids you have, or whatever;
a simple response takes 30 seconds (or less) and can make the difference of
someone feeling valued vs. feeling completely insignificant. Small things like
this end up defining the type of friend you are, the type of business you run,
etc. (NOTE: This also applies to RSVPing for <i>any</i> event.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">13. <b>Party
in your 20s. Your real relationships will thank you later.</b> Sounds weird, I know, but I have
seen countless marriages fail because the husband or wife feels as if they’ve
“missed out” (whether that’s on partying, being with other people, etc.) and
wants to go back and experience it later, which results in complete
destruction. Don’t be an idiot, but get it out of your system and attempt to
marry someone who’s done the same thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">14. <b>It’s
okay, and healthy actually, to disagree with your parents about things you were
raised to believe.</b>
Whether it’s politics, religion, or what type of toothpaste you use, you need
to choose your own path and form your own beliefs. And they need to respect
that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">15. <b>Put
a value on your time.</b>
I think this gets more important the older you get, yet we often don’t think
this way. My husband literally puts a dollar amount on what an hour of his time
is worth, which might be a bit extreme but he does have a point – is it worth
it for me to spend five hours cleaning my house or hire a house cleaner to do
it for $60? Or from a relationship standpoint, is it worth hanging out with
so-and-so when I know she is not a long-term friend?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">16. <b>Drinking
more than one bottle of wine by yourself is pretty much never a good idea,

to read into that however you’d like.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">17. <b>Don’t
judge parents, <i>especially</i></b><b> if you don’t have kids.</b> This might sound funny coming
from someone who doesn’t have kids, but I catch myself doing this sometimes and
I know that one day I’ll get mine when it’s my kid throwing a raging tantrum at
Target while onlookers stare in horror. Like anything in life, I can wage a
pretty good bet that most people (including parents) are just doing the best
they can. Maybe you’ll do things differently, but chances are you will get your
ass handed to you by a toddler at some point.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">18. <b>If
someone says/does something that upsets you, either confront them or get over
it... or go to counseling.</b> I realize this is easier said than done, but life is full of hard
conversations and I truly believe the people who are willing to have those hard
conversations, however brutal they are, are the people who are the most
fulfilled in their relationships. And if you can’t move forward, go talk to a professional to
help you do so (NOTE: I’ve only gone to one counseling session so I need to
take my own advice here, but I think everyone should see a counselor on a
regular basis. We’ve all got our shit and the world would be a much better
place if more of that was dealt with.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">19. <b>It’s
okay to buy impractical things if they make you happy and/or give you
confidence.</b> If
getting a latte from Starbucks gets you through the day at a job you hate, go
get one (and see #8.) If that $15 lipstick gives you the confidence you need
for a first date, buy it. I recently convinced my husband that some clothes I
bought were actually an investment. It went something like, “Babe, when I work
from home and am wearing pajamas, I am totally unproductive. But when I put on
actual, cute clothes I get so much more done, which equates to making us more
money.” BOOM! (But seriously, there is some truth to that…)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">20. <b>Love.
Period.</b> Maybe I
subconsciously saved this one for last because it blows the rest of these
things I’ve learned out of the water. Over the last 30 years I have witnessed
“love” in many forms and realize that everyone defines it differently and lives
their life according to that definition. Whether you’re religious or not I
think we all share an innate sense to love other people, but ironically it
seems religion is often the culprit of destroying the next part, where we’re
actually supposed to <i>do</i> it. (Love your neighbor, unless they’re… Love your friends, but… Love
your spouse, unless…) This concept of love always seems to have a stipulation,
which just doesn’t work for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">A good
friend of ours, Ryan Miller, who also happens to be the pastor at our church,
wrote a book called <i>Everything Breathes</i> that I read a few months ago. (It was rad; you
should read it.) I’m not a big quote person, but this one just fits and really
wraps up this thought much better than I can:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<i>[Insert photo sessions, trips, and life ramblings here from the last eight months.]</i><br />
<br />
Just kidding. I'll catch up one of these days. Soon. Promise.the tampienshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01489206166953133723noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932004165905399097.post-2820198914981146212013-05-02T12:23:00.001-07:002013-05-02T12:23:29.547-07:00Matt + Natalie | EngagementFrom the very first time I met Natalie, I somehow knew she'd be in my life for a very long time. She's one of those people who makes you feel like you've known her forever from the very first time you meet her. I know the word "nice" is a seemingly cliché adjective, but I can honestly say that Natalie is the nicest person I know. Not only that, but she is an absolute blast to hang out with, she is real and down to earth, and she is the kind of friend you can call at 2 o'clock in the morning and she'd be there no questions asked. Oh, and she's absolutely gorgeous. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then Natalie met Matt, and we immediately fell in love with him too. (I purposefully said "we" because Jordan and Matt probably hang out and talk on the phone more than Jordan and I do. Call it what you want, but I like to refer to it as a bromance.) I have never seen Natalie happier, and I am so glad these two found each other. </div>

Matt owns a few bars downtown and we thought it would be fun to do some pictures at one of his bars, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FastEdsBar?fref=ts&rf=111133175588213" target="_blank">Fast Eddie's</a>, for their engagement shoot. We started there and trekked all around downtown, and even managed to get a few shots with Natalie and Matt's dogs, Roxy and Presley (aka: Ted.) I love how the fun-loving nature of these two shines through their pictures. See for yourself!</div>

I'm not even going to try because I'll undoubtedly fall short. And besides, I have to give a toast at her wedding in a few months so I'm saving up. <br />
<br />
A couple years ago, Lindsay met Cameron. All I could think was, "This guy is a goof ball." But it didn't take long for me to realize that this goof ball not only adored my sister, but he challenged her, he made her laugh (like <i>really</i> laugh), and somehow they just fit together perfectly.<br />

Lindsay and Cameron are getting married this summer at the lake, and they wanted a few engagement photos done up there this fall. Let me just preface this by telling you that my sister, who happens to work in the wedding industry, still hasn't quite grasped the role of being the bride and doesn't want anything to be cliché. Case and point, when I asked her what she was thinking for engagement photos she said, "I want them to be artsy, and I don't really want any with our faces in them." <i>No pictures with your faces in them... got it.</i> "Oh, and I don't want these posted anywhere." <i>Mmmkay. </i><br />
<br />
Lucky for you, I break rules. It took me a few months, but I finally convinced her to let me post their mini engagement shoot. Oh, and I even managed to get pictures of their faces. Imagine that. Check out some Flat 4 favorites of my beautiful sissy and soon-to-be brother-in-law!<br />

Oh, and that adorable little dog in the middle of these two? That's Reece, my nephew. He's quite the poser.<br />
<br />
Love you three so much!<br />

If you're in a couple yourself, you know what I'm talking about. To find a pair of humans of which Jordan and I <i>both</i> think are awesome, well, it's just not everyday you find something like that. We actually came up with a million dollar idea a couple months ago to start a quasi dating website, if you will, for couples to find other couple friends because if you think abut it, finding the perfect couple to be friends with is almost as hard as finding a husband or wife. While we're working out the kinks for our website -- CouplesMatch.com? ThePerfectPair.com? -- don't you dare go stealing our idea! Or, if you do, at least give us half of the profits.<br />
<br />
I digress.<br />
<br />
We have been lucky enough to share life with Cassie and Steve for the last few years. We adore these two and couldn't imagine our lives without them. Cassie and Steve recently because a family of three, adding Daxton to the family roster. We fell in love with this little guy from the first time we met him and were honored to capture some moments from his first week in the world.<br />

<br />
Just as a side note, I have a ridiculously huge amount of respect for photographers who specialize in newborn/baby photography... IT. IS. SO. HARD. Luckily Cassie had some ideas of what she wanted (thank you, Pinterest) so we recreated some Christmas-themed shots since Dax was born in December, and then pretty much flew by the seat of our pants the rest of the time. With all that said, here are some Flat 4 favorites of Daxton and the Hare family!<br />

Okay, not really, but if that were true I am at least lucky enough to know my other missing half. Nicole and I met in college and have been close friends ever since. We are both Dutch, we both love bread (and food in general, for that matter), we both have an intense passion for travel, we both adore good writing and photography, we're both super sarcastic, we both think life is too short for a boring 9-to-5 job, and the list goes on and on. Seriously, soul sisters.<br />
<br />
There are a few things you should know upfront about Nicole: 1) She's gorgeous. Like if-I-didn't-love-her-I'd-hate-her gorgeous. 2) Once she decides to do something, whatever that <i>something</i> is, it's going to kick ass. 3) No one does witty, smart humor better than she does. 4) Sister can write! There are very few things I love more than good photography, and one of those things is good writing. So when she decided to start her fashion/lifestyle blog, <a href="http://teacupsandbcups.com/" target="_blank">Teacups and B Cups</a>, I knew it would be amazing. And it is.<br />

Nicole wanted some shots done for her blog this fall, so we chugged some coffee, hit some favorite spots around town, laughed between chattering teeth, and made it happen despite the first snowfall on the ground. So without further ado, here are some Flat 4 favorites of Nicole!<br />

I often find myself making mental notes, like a revolving Pinterest board in my brain, that probably won't be accessed for a few years but is something I already consider invaluable. And every once in a while I find myself subtly observing a family and thinking, "Yeah, I think (and hope) we do family life and parenting like <i>that </i>someday."<br />

I've actually known Jeff and Karissa since junior high, believe it or not, but we just recently <i>really</i> started to get to know them. And truly, there are few couples (and few families, for that matter) as cool as this one. So when they asked me to take some family pictures for them, I was actually just as excited to hang out with them as I was to snap some photos of Jeff, Karissa, and their adorable little girls.</div>

<br />
These two got married at <a href="http://www.arborcrest.com/" target="_blank">Arbor Crest Winery</a>, which was absolutely stunning. I mean, c'mon, what is better than a gorgeous view of the city, a lovely group of people, a beautiful wedding, an old vintage car, and wine?! And I haven't even mentioned the shoes... this couple loves their shoes! (Matt had custom Nikes made for the big day and surprised Brittany with her own custom pair as well.) Brittany and Matt also had our Photo Booth at their reception, which was a blast!<br />
<br />
Okay, enough about this gorgeous couple. Check out their amazing wedding day!<br />

Thank you, Brittany and Matt, for letting us be a part of your big day!the tampienshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01489206166953133723noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932004165905399097.post-32838950320534806312012-10-23T14:08:00.000-07:002012-10-23T14:08:25.943-07:00Kevin + Kaitlyn | WeddingYou may remember Kevin and Kaitlyn's <a href="http://www.tampientandem.blogspot.com/2012/07/kevin-kaitlyn-engagement.html" target="_blank">engagement session</a> up on Green Bluff. Well, their wedding was even more stunning and even more fun, if you can believe it.<br />
<br />
Kaitlyn and her maids got ready at her mom's house, and the rest of the day took place at the always amazing <a href="http://www.beaconhillevents.com/" target="_blank">Beacon Hill</a>. Kaitlyn looked gorgeous, the flowers and decor were OUT OF THIS WORLD, it was a sunny September day in Spokane (which, let's be honest, doesn't always happen)... in other words, their wedding was perfectly lovely. Oh, and they even had our Photo Booth at the reception, which always makes things more fun. :)<br />
<br />
Congratulations, you two! We could not be happier for you!!<br />

I'm pretty sure I mentioned it in their awesome <a href="http://www.tampientandem.blogspot.com/2012/03/levi-meg-engagement.html">engagement shoot post</a>, so check that out first to get a glimpse into how cool these two are.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, and their wedding? Just as cool.<br />

Meg and her ladies got ready at the Coeur d'Alene Resort, and her and Levi's nuptials (and most of their pictures) took place at the lovely <a href="http://www.cdawhitehouseevents.com/">White House Event Center</a> in downtown CDA. Meg had thought out and planned every last detail and everything about the day turned out beautifully. And OH MY GOSH, how stunning are these two?! See for yourself... here are some Flat 4 favorites from Levi and Meg's wedding day!<center>

And, let's be honest, those three factors create a recipe for a pretty amazing wedding!<br />
<center>
<a href="http://s1097.photobucket.com/albums/g353/Flat4Photo/Steve%20and%20Breah%20WEDDING/?action=view&current=Married-7_1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g353/Flat4Photo/Steve%20and%20Breah%20WEDDING/Married-7_1.jpg" /></a></center>
You might remember Steve and Breah's <a href="http://www.tampientandem.blogspot.com/2012/01/steve-breah-engagement.html">engagement session</a>, which was in the middle of the freezing cold winter. I remember thinking then that we wouldn't have a thing to worry about weather-wise in the middle of July, but the forecast actually showed rain off and on throughout the day. But get this... the only time it rained the entire day was during the ceremony, which was held indoors at St. Al's Cathedral. Take that, Mother Nature!<br />
<br />
After Breah and the girls got ready, we met Steve on the rooftop of The Edge Lofts for their first look. We hit a few different spots around Spokane for pictures, which included some with the Gonzaga Bulldog statue because Breah is a die-hard Zag fan! After the ceremony, everyone headed up to Manito Country Club for the reception where the biggest surprise of all was waiting... "Butch" the WSU Cougar mascot showed up and ended up being the life of the party! Steve is a die-hard Coug fan and many of the guests were too, and I have to say, this was one of the most unique, fun touches I've ever seen at a wedding reception! So with all that said, check out some Flat 4 favorites of Steve and Breah's beautiful wedding day...<br />

In fact, it was HOT. Like, really hot! But they were total troopers as we trekked to some of my favorite downtown photo spots, and even a few new ones. Things were going so well and Brittany, Matt, and I had totally hit it off... and then Brittany changed into her second outfit, which consisted of these amazingly fun yellow shoes, which totally sealed the deal. :) Combine an awesome couple, bright yellow shoes, graffiti hearts, and downtown Spokane, and you are bound to have a fabulous engagement shoot!<br />

We are so excited to be shooting Brittany and Matt's wedding this fall at Arbor Crest and to have our Photo Booth at their reception! After hanging out with them for a couple hours during their engagement shoot, I know their wedding will be a blast. With that said, here are some Flat 4 favorites of the beautiful Brittany and Matt!</div>

I sometimes choke up at weddings when I'm shooting them. Okay, fine, sometimes it's when we're working the Photo Booth too. <i>There, I said it.</i> But choking up is a far cry (no pun intended) from actual tears. Well, here goes another confession... I cried, like real tears, when I was photographing Chris and Taci's wedding. In my defense, I have known Taci since 6th grade -- we played volleyball together forever and have remained friends ever since -- and, as if that's not enough, "Marry Me" by Train was playing in the background when she was getting ready. I mean, come on, that's not even fair!<br />
<br />

I digress.<br />
<br />
I LOVED this wedding. Not just because of how much I love Taci and Chris either. Everything was so personal to the bride and groom and all of the details fit the theme perfectly. We started the day downtown where Taci got ready at her mama's salon (side note: Taci's mom, Trista, is a movie star makeup artist, literally... pretty rad!) The ladies took a limo out to the beautiful wedding venue up north, called <a href="http://onriversedge.com/">On River's Edge</a>, which is simply stunning, where Chris saw Taci for the first time. From there, Jordan and I trekked Taci and Chris all over Chattaroy and Elk for some of our favorite photo spots to date! Everything was so perfect and we were so honored to be a part of Chris and Taci's big day...with photography AND the Photo Booth!<br />

Taci and Chris are a beautiful couple inside and out (as you'll see below), and we could not be happier for them! Oh, and we've never met a couple who make each other laugh more than these two do... Check out some Flat 4 favorites from their big day!<br />

Chris and Taci also had our Photo Booth at their reception! To see all of their Photo Booth pictures, <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/113565932229842999767/ChrisTaciSWedding#">click here</a>.the tampienshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01489206166953133723noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932004165905399097.post-22426478110367463972012-07-11T17:24:00.003-07:002012-07-11T17:35:26.167-07:00Matt + Bekah | WeddingI may be a little biased because the bride is my best and oldest friend, but I have to admit it, Bekah and Matt's wedding was hands down the most unique, personal, and raddest (is that a word?) wedding I've ever seen. [You may remember Bekah and Matt from their awesome Atlanta <a href="http://www.tampientandem.blogspot.com/2011/01/bekah-matt.html">engagement shoot</a>.]<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://s1097.photobucket.com/albums/g353/Flat4Photo/Bekah%20and%20Matt%20WEDDING/?action=view&current=Married-20_1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g353/Flat4Photo/Bekah%20and%20Matt%20WEDDING/Married-20_1.jpg" /></a></center><br />
And the best part? Bekah gave me the best gift a friend could give; she only asked me to shoot her "getting ready" shots and some shots around Seattle of her and Matt so I could be present at and enjoy her wedding. She will never know how much that meant to me...<br />
<br />
Bekah got ready at her and Matt's amazing downtown loft, and even though there was a little rain, we trekked all around downtown Seattle for the rest of the shoot. Bekah and Matt's wedding theme was "vintage circus" and it was honestly the coolest thing I've ever seen -- they rented vintage umbrellas, had gourmet donuts instead of cake, had our Photo Booth but labeled it the "kissing booth", had handmade feather corsages for us ladies who were honorary bridesmaids, the honorary groomsmen had handmade button boutonnieres... it was so fun and so <i>them</i>. Since I only shot the first half of the wedding, I was unable to get pictures of the ceremony and reception, but you can see some <a href="http://www.iamkristenmarie.com/blog/2012/3/12/bekahmatts-nuptials.html">here</a> that were taken by their awesome photographer that they hired for the rest of the day. Oh, and I almost forgot, their wedding venue, <a href="http://www.pravdaevents.com/">Pravda Studios</a>, was also probably the coolest venue I've ever been to. Have I said how cool this wedding was? Okay, I'll stop now.<br />
<br />
Without further ado, here are a few favorites of Bekah and Matt's (pre) wedding!<br />

I love you both so much and your big day could not have been more beautiful and perfect! Thank you for letting us be a part of it, but also for letting us enjoy celebrating the two of you. :)<br />

But I am now finished with my Masters program (more on that later...) and can finally start catching up!<br />
<br />
Up first on the catch-up list is Kevin and Kaitlyn's engagement session up on Green Bluff. Jordan and I met Kevin a few summers ago when we all worked at Beacon Hill together, and to make a long story short, Jordan and Kevin have what I like to call a bro-mance. :) Seriously, these two could talk investment opportunities and real estate all day long. And not to mention that Kevin is just one of those all-around good guys... who met one of those all-around good girls, named Kaitlyn!<br />
<br />

This couple is so sweet, so fun, and just down to earth... oh, and smokin' hot! But best of all? They are so obviously in love. There is actually a series of three pictures you'll see (the ones where Kaitlyn is wrapped in my brown blanket by the wood crates) that I simply couldn't choose between because I loved them all. There are times as a photographer where you witness an expression or look between a couple that make you stop and realize that you're a part of something really cool...<br />
<br />
With that said, here are some Flat 4 favorites of Kevin and Kaitlyn!<br />

If you knew this couple, you'd understand why. They are crazy fun, yet so down to earth; wildly successful, yet incredibly humble... and, let's be honest, they are just flat out beautiful people, which makes my job so easy. ;)<br />
<br />
I have been wanting to try out a certain location for an engagement shoot for quite a while now, and when I broached the idea to Meg and Levi, they were totally game! (Music to my ears!) So we met up at The Elk -- which is also never a bad thing -- and then headed out to Old Town, which you Spokanites will know better as Hillyard. Yep, that's right. We explored random side streets, found a big chalk board (love!), and even stumbled upon a vintage ferris wheel. Ummm, yeah, I did just say vintage ferris wheel... (insert one million exclamation points here to convey my excitement!) All-in-all, I would say this is one of my all-time favorite engagement shoots. Thank you, Levi and Meg, for being so rad! We are so excited to shoot your wedding in August!!<br />
<br />
Here are some Flat 4 favorites of Levi and Meg!<br />

+ Breah | EngagementIt's funny how some friendships start. Jordan met Steve when he was working at a sign shop before he started law school and Steve would buy his clients personalized signs for their new homes. Little did we know then that Steve would be someone we consider a lifelong friend! Let me give you a little more context... Steve is a Realtor in Spokane and is truly one of the best in the business. He has shown us numerous homes and properties in the last few years and has been an amazing friend and Realtor for us (and would still be our Realtor if Jordan wouldn't have decided to get his Realtor's license!)<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, when Steve met Breah there was a noticeable change in him. I will never forget the first time he told us about her. As cliché as it sounds, I knew then that he would marry her. Honestly. These two are truly a perfect match. You know the whole Jerry Maquire <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpWAlvWNZj0">"You Complete Me" scene</a>? Doesn't even hold a candle to these two. And we can't wait to be a part of their big day in July! <br />
<center><a href="http://s1097.photobucket.com/albums/g353/Flat4Photo/Steve%20and%20Breah%20ENGAGEMENT/?action=view&current=Originals-11_1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g353/Flat4Photo/Steve%20and%20Breah%20ENGAGEMENT/Originals-11_1.jpg" /></a></center>I digress.<br />
<br />
Steve and Breah were not only willing to brave the winter cold for their engagement shoot, they actually made it fun for me (and let's be honest, I was not warm... at all.) We lucked out and beat the big snow storm that came 24 hours after our photo session! Jordan came with us and the four of us hit some fun, downtown locations with frequent breaks to warm up and drink our coffees in the car. :) So without further ado, here are some Flat 4 favorites of the beautiful bride and groom to be!<br />

CheerI can't believe it's almost Christmas. I don't know how it always sneaks up on us like it does, but that Christmas is one sly holiday. And even though it looks slightly different each year, I can't help but love every minute.<br />
<br />
I am so behind on the blog, it's not even funny. I still need to post about Halloween (a Tampien favorite), Bekah and Matt's wedding in Seattle, our trip to Jamaica, our fifth anniversary and weekend getaway to Leavenworth, and our new house that we've spent every waking moment remodeling lately in hopes of moving into by January 1st. And while all of those things are incredibly important and meaningful to us, this is what really matters...<br />
<br />

<br />
It's Christmas and we are so joyful.<br />
<br />
<i>Just as a side note, our cards (above) were done by <a href="http://mangoink.com/">Mango Ink</a>. We love this company -- the people who run it, the quality product, but most of all the mission of their business. They give so much to those in need and it really is a beautiful thing. Read more about it <a href="http://mangoink.com/help-2/">here</a> if you have a minute. </i><br />

With that said, we just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2012!the tampienshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01489206166953133723noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932004165905399097.post-84203259080385800702011-12-21T16:42:00.000-08:002011-12-21T16:42:51.283-08:00Chris + Carey | WeddingI'm not sure if she knows this, but my friend, Carey, is a big reason Flat 4 ever came to be. It's true. She gave me the nudge I needed to do this thing for real when she asked me to take some 6-month photos of her adorable little guy, Jackson. Who would have thought back then that just two years later I would have the honor of photographing Carey's wedding?! Carey (and Chris) have been all over the Flat 4 blog, so you may recognize them from their <a href="http://www.tampientandem.blogspot.com/2011/08/chris-carey-engagement.html">engagement shoot</a> this summer or their <a href="http://tampientandem.blogspot.com/2010/09/guhlke-falk-family.html">family photo shoot</a> last year. At any rate, I think their wedding shoot tops them all, which is just as it should be!<br />
<br />
The ladies started off the day with some pre-wedding yoga, and it just got better from there! Carey and Chris got married at the cutest little white church out in the fields of Davenport, their home town, and the reception was held at their home, which just so happens to be the coolest country reception location EVER. Carey and Chris own and operate the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/BRBFarmersMarket">Big Red Barn Farmer's Market</a> in Davenport, and consequently they had all local vendors, including their catering... ummmmm, seriously delish! Looking back on all the weddings we've done, my favorite ones are undoubtedly the ones that truly reflect who the bride and groom are. So naturally, Chris and Carey's tops the charts! The details of this wedding were absolutely flawless and were such a perfect representation of Carey's creativity (and both her and Chris's hard work!) It was hard to narrow them down, but here are some Flat 4 favorites of Chris and Carey's big day...<br />

+ Nichole | WeddingThere are so many lovely things to say about Josh and Nichole as a couple, some of which was said in their <a href="http://tampientandem.blogspot.com/2011/09/josh-nichole-engagement.html">engagement post</a>. So instead of babbling about how great they are, I'm going to jump right into how great their <i>wedding</i> was. :)<br />
<br />
There is something so classic and romantic about weddings that take place at <a href="http://www.thedavenporthotel.com/">The Davenport Hotel</a>, and Josh and Nichole's wedding was certainly no exception! We woke up the day of the wedding to rain, rain, and a little more rain, so Jordan and I made a game plan early and scoped out locations that were indoors or covered. As it turned out, not long after we started shooting, the sun popped out and it turned into a lovely fall day! Take <i>that</i>, Weather.com! Josh and Nichole were up for anything, which we always love, and we had a fabulous time trekking around Spokane with them.<br />
<br />
Combine some hot gold shoes, a beautiful bride and groom, a super fun group of guests, some gorgeous bright flowers, and a classy location like the Davenport... and, well, here is what you get! Check out some Flat 4 favorites of Josh and Nichole's wedding day!<br />

Married To A Realtor!Yes, it's true! We decided our life just wasn't busy enough, so Jordan went ahead and got his Realtor's license. ;)<br />
<br />
In all seriousness, I have never met anyone so passionate about real estate -- the man drives by, walks by, and looks up houses online <i>all</i> the time for friends, co-workers, family, and even just for fun. He could probably star in his own HGTV show. From flipping homes to taking a bajillion (<i>yes, that's a number</i>) law and business classes on real estate during his graduate programs at Gonzaga, I really could not think of a more perfect fit.<br />
<br />
The best part? He LOVES it.<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://s1097.photobucket.com/albums/g353/Flat4Photo/?action=view&current=collage_1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g353/Flat4Photo/collage_1.jpg" /></a></center>Just to clarify, no, Jord did not quit his day job. He is doing real estate in his (<i>*cough*</i>) spare time. By law, he has to be affiliated with a firm for at least his first year as a Realtor, so he joined the <a href="http://www.johnlscott.com/agentdetail.aspx?ic=200002088">John L. Scott</a> team downtown.<br />
<br />
So here comes the shameless plug from a proud wife. <i>Don't act like you didn't see it coming</i>. If you or anyone you know is in need of a fabulous Realtor (whether you are buying <i>or</i> selling a home), please feel free to contact Jordan! We are trying to get the word out to our friends and family and just to let everyone know about this new adventure for Jord, and we would LOVE for you to do the same.<br />
<br />

More on that to come, so STAY TUNED! <i>There really is never a dull moment around here. </i>:)the tampienshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01489206166953133723noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932004165905399097.post-40381586579195500592011-10-17T19:52:00.000-07:002011-10-17T19:52:50.723-07:00Tyler + Brita | WeddingI love this wedding. Seriously. Everything about it screams Brita and Tyler, whom I also happen to love. You can read more about how awesome I think this couple is (and see their engagement session) by <a href="http://tampientandem.blogspot.com/2011/06/tyler-brita-engagement.html">clicking here</a>.<br />
<br />
Brita and Ty got married at Ty's mom's house on Williams Lake and Jordan and I did a lot of their pictures on the bluff above the lake. Think backyard wedding, but then add Brita's creativity, some A-MAZING details (most of which were DIY), a super fun wedding party, a beautiful tent for the reception, a gorgeous bride and groom... and that, my friends, is a recipe for a fabulous wedding! I just have to share some of my favorite details from the day: Brita's smokin' hot red shoes, Ty's bow tie, the colored ribbons tied into the trees above their ceremony location, the thumb print tree for their guestbook, the handmade pumpkin centerpieces... I really could go on and on!<br />
<br />
I have one more story I wanted to share from Ty and Brita's wedding that I think paints a picture of the type of people they are. After the ceremony, the wedding party all piled into Ty's truck and went to the bridesmaids' cabin a few minutes away to have a celebratory drink. The ladies all sat in the cab of the truck with Ty, who was driving, and I, of course, hopped right in the back of the truck with all the groomsmen (<i>sorry for totally killing the "man time" guys!) </i>As we passed through the neighborhood, a couple guys on the street we didn't know yelled something along the lines of, "If you guys were real friends, you would have never let him get married!" And here is the best part. All of the groomsmen looked at each other and one of them yelled back, "Actually, she's AWESOME!" <i>I know it's an unconventional story, but I think it may have been one of my favorite moments from the day.</i><br />
<br />
I will quit babbling about how awesome this wedding was and just go ahead and show you. :) Here are some Flat 4 favorites of Brita and Tyler!<br />

You may remember Justin and Stasha from <a href="http://tampientandem.blogspot.com/2011/05/justin-stasha-engagement.html">their engagement shoot</a> on a ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island, which was Stasha's brilliant idea by the way. I just love it when brides (or grooms) have fun, out-of-the-box ideas for photo shoots! So when Stasha started emailing me photos from Vogue magazine as inspiration and ideas for their wedding photography, I figured there was no better place to do their first look and some of their photos than my sister's loft in downtown Spokane that just so happens to have a roof top garden overlooking the city. We started there and went pretty much all over downtown before we headed up north to their wedding venue, Belle Victorian Gardens. You will notice quite a drastic change in scenery in the pictures -- from downtown urban to country chic -- which is really the best of both worlds, right?! <div><br />
</div><div>Stasha and Justin are such a gorgeous couple, amazing parents to their adorable son, Jude (who, by the way, walked Stasha down the aisle) and their bulldog, Emma (who was the "flower girl"), and overall are just so fun to be around. Jordan was my second-shooter for the day and when we were driving home at the end of the night he said, "I just really like those guys." :) Congratulations, Stasha and Justin, on a beautiful wedding day! Here are some Flat 4 favorites of the newlyweds...</div><div><br />

RecapHoly Lord. Our summer has been beyond busy -- at times good busy and at other times, well, not-so-good busy -- and I just realized I haven't even posted on anything personal since June. <i>And just as a side note, the photos from </i><a href="http://tampientandem.blogspot.com/2011/06/june-on-steroids.html"><i>that post</i></a><i> got erased. I should have time to put them back up on the blog...next summer. But seriously.</i><br />
<br />
I started my Masters in Teaching program at Gonzaga at the end of June and life pretty much ended after that. Okay, that's not entirely true. Between 6-hour class days, 100 pages of reading per night, Jordan staying crazy busy with his job, shooting weddings and engagement shoots, and working Photo Booth events every weekend (oh, and starting coaching volleyball at Mead two weeks ago), we have actually managed to squeeze in some fun things. ;)<br />
<br />
Here is a quick summer recap in pictures...<br />
<br />

We got kayaks!<br />

My sissy's boyfriend, Cameron, turned 30 and she threw a big surprise party for him. And got him a pretty rad waterski!<br />

<div>**********</div>WE PUT IN A NEW SPRINKLER SYSTEM!!! Okay, I say "we" because I did help a little but Jordan and Bill, a good family friend, did about 99% of the work (with the help of a few other friends too!) I am clinging to my 1%, baby!<br />

<div>**********</div>Jord played with his law school buddies in Hoopfest and my sister and I threw the 4th annual Roof Top Party. Seriously people, Hoopfest is like Christmas in our household and we look forward to it all year! <i>Okay, let's clarify: Jordan looks forward to playing in Hoopfest and I just look forward to shaved ice and the Roof Top Party. </i>:)<br />

<div>**********</div>We got to spend four whole days at the lake over the 4th of July weekend! How did this happen, you ask? We <s>conned our poor friends into</s> got our good friends, Cassie and Steve, on board and hired them to work the Photo Booth for us. <i>Did we mention how much we love Cassie and Steve? And not just for working the Photo Booth. Swear.</i> Anyhoo, a couple days before the 4th, we celebrated our Uncle Richard, who passed away a couple years ago. His memorial was so special and I know it would have been a day he loved.<br />

Don't worry about it. ;)</i><br />
<br />
**********<br />
I got to attend my dear friend, Holly's, wedding! This is the first wedding I've actually <i>attended</i> without having to photograph it or work the Photo Booth in over two years... Unfortunately, I had to fly solo because Jord was working a Photo Booth event for us, but luckily I had Steve to be my date since Cassie was in the wedding. And I always have Nicole, my other half. I was well taken care of. ;)<br />

<div>**********</div>Jord got to travel to Washington DC for work! And I must say, the man did a pretty dang good job of taking pictures at his wife's request.<br />

<div>**********</div>We got to take our annual lake vacation (okay, "annual" minus last year) with Cassie and Steve! Check out our first vacay <a href="http://tampientandem.blogspot.com/2009/08/lake-vacation-09.html">here</a>. We have vowed to make this a yearly tradition because we always have such a blast and are able to just relax with the Hares! In fact, we were so relaxed that we hardly took any pictures this year, except this one of Cassie and I when we took the boat down the lake to the floating restaurant.<br />

<div>**********</div>And that, my friends, is our summer at lighting speed. I feel like Chris Berman when he broadcasts the "fastest three minutes" in football.<br />
<br />
And the big gaps in between all the fun stuff? Well, here it is. My glamorous life...<br />

I miss blogging. I know that's weird to say, but I do. It grounds me somehow and reminds me of all the fun snapshots of life when I feel like there aren't any. Unfortunately, I don't foresee many (personal) blog posts in my near future, but please know we are still alive -- most likely -- and if you think of it, send some positive thoughts and prayers our way to get us through the next few months!<br />
