New Office

I am so excited. At work I am finally getting a ***NEW*** office!!!!

We have taken over the other side of our building and the engineers at work have decided to build like 15 new offices! Instead of me sitting in the middle of the showroom at my desk, I will have 4 brand new walls. What was really awesome was that we got to pick our own paint colors for our offices. I picked a really bright Tiffany-blue color that will take some time to adjust to but I love it. It's bold and it's crazy. I am going to paint some tropical colored stripes on one of the three walls which will be a daunting task when the ceilings are soooo freaking high. We all get to pick new pictures for our offices as well so I am getting some great Andy Warhol black and whites.

Mom and I designed the rest of the common areas such as the 4 new meeting rooms, the creative services design room and the new showroom. I will finally have a clean showroom! Dustin and I have created a great program that will track items in the showroom so I finally know who is steal my crap (which I HATE!!). I will have to post pics once I take them. Three new refrigerators come next week as well as the area rugs mom and picked out and the new couches.

The Innovation Center- as it is called is going to be so freaking awesome. I can't wait to move.

Laters!

Labor Day Weekend

I am outta here suckers! I will be gone for just one day but I am really looking forward to it. I am hoping to go to La Jolla Cove Beach and take some awesome photos. First Lisa and I are going to meet Ben and his single friend **wink** for lunch. Then we are going to shoot over to the beach. I am hoping that the beach won't be bad plus I heard you have to park kinda far and walk over (sigh) so I am hoping that I don't have to drag my equipment with me a long distance.

We will see. Pray for no crowds and sunny weather.

Anaheim/Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau Photo Contest

As some of you know, I entered a photo contest and I actually won! I won the "OC Lifestyle" catagory. As a reward, I received a $100 gift card from American Express and I get to be in a 2-page spread in "OC. The Place" Magazine. Yippy! It is going to be in the September issue. I will try to post a copy of it when I can. Above is my winning photo. If you check out the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau's website at the link below you can see the other photos that won as well.

Well I am off to find another contest to enter. Wish me luck!
