Playing catch up via pic OVERLOAD

I am always on my blog. Honestly. I love reading everyone's stories and fun experiences. Yes I know I haven't posted since February, and frankly that didn't occur to me until about last week :) Life is busy and so is photography which leaves little "extra" time. I am going to attempt to play catch up from February and what better way to do that than with... pictures!!!!
 
After many highlight and haircut mishaps in Lewiston, I decided to give up and go back to all one color my natural color. I haven't been without highlights since I was like 15 so it was a big change for me! I do like it more than I though I would :) Here is to being all brunette!

 
At the end of March, we went on vacation to California for a week and a half! After flying in, we started out in Simi Valley seeing some of Jordan's family's friends and stayed with them for a few days. I even was able to so a session of pictures for them! We then met up with my family from Idaho and Arizona in Anaheim to go to Disneyland, California Adventure, and Universal Studios! We had a blast with all the cousins and family :) Our trip ended with Jordan going with Jack to a suite for the Lakers game at Staples Center in LA. He was so excited and was all decked out with purple and yellow :) They had premium food and were super close to the court from the suite!
 
Here is before the game :)
 
 
Splash Mountain, our favorite!! All the cousins in one log and the adults in the other log.


 
 
 
Jordan's birthday came on March 26th and we celebrated with dinner that night and a comedy show in Spokane the following weekend! I got him tickets to see Tracy Morgan at the Fox Theatre :) It was a quiet, but fun birthday!
 
I am still doing photography sessions on the side when I am not working full time and I can squeeze in a couple hours! Hopefully someday I can do it full time, but for now word of mouth is working great, and I have several returning clients!!  Take a peek at what I have been up to :)

That behind the scenes turned into this capture!

If you haven't seen my facebook posts, you are missing out. I am married to someone who is literally a laugh a minute! He is always coming up with the most off the wall sayings and funny things. The most recent one made me laugh so hard I was literally about to pee my pants!! One night I went into our bathroom to brush my teeth and I walked in to find this....
 
Ya see what I mean???!!! Laugh a minute!!! He was like "What? I needed a splash guard!" Oh my gosh I was seriously rolling on the floor... I couldn't even look at the pic without cracking up! Love him!
 
We have been hanging on for dear life with our ancient appliances in our kitchen. They were twenty something years old!!! We were sooo happy to hear that our landlords decided to replace them when our dishwasher started going out. We now have super sleek black and stainless steel appliances. Other than them taking 4 hours to install, we love them!!
 
And a few random pics from everyday life...
 

Sunsets like this every night from our backyard!! LOVE!!
 
Jordan's job has been going great!! He is busier than ever and making some big sales! He just got done with his annual ride along with his boss where he has to meet certain criteria for his territory. He not only met, but exceeded everything!!! Later that day, we headed out for some Frisbee golf to celebrate a successful day with lots of good news only be interrupted by a work call to let him know that he sold a $14,000 account!! He has been working with a large chain hotel that is being built in Moscow to sell that account. He has worked very hard and it all paid off in the end with getting a new account worth a lot for his territory!!

 
And for the most recent news that happened just this weekend.... We bought a new car!!!
 
We decided a little while ago that it was time for the dinosaur red focus of mine to go! I have had my focus for 6 years and it has been a die hard car and has taken a beating. We wanted to get a new car that had a lot of room (for future Martitz family additions down the road) and I really wanted a V6. I like my power what can I say :) We went back and forth between whether to get a truck or a car. We both really wanted a truck, but decided to wait till we had kids. Our favorite car was the Maxima and we just had to find the right one. We planned a getaway weekend to Spokane at a resort this past weekend and shopped for cars the WHOLE weekend. WHEW! Talk about tiring! We almost came home empty handed, but ended up scoring an amazing deal with the car with love that is LOADED! We are both thrilled! It is a maroon 2012 Nissan Maxima. It has a sunroof, is the sports edition, keyless, the whole nine yards!! I am spoiled what can I say :) Bye bye banged up focus!! It was fun to drive home and soak in that new car smell! We are so excited!!
 
Well that is all to get caught up... I know it was a lot. I am going to keep it caught up now that's for sure! For the final picture, I snapped a shot at sunset from the 7th floor of our hotel in Spokane. So beautiful!! It took my breath away!
 
We are counting down the days until summer and gearing up for trips to Twin Falls, camping with friends in July, and whatever else life throws at us :)
