Monthly Archives: October 2010

What could be better than Mustaches and a Fun booth?  We found these cool doors at Bill and Crystals reception. Set up some lights, and Broke out the moustaches.  As you can see we had a great time with them and cant wait to do it again.

Crystal and Bill united their love early on the lovely October morning dating 10-10-10.  We had never been booked for a date so far in advance.  But what a day.  The sun was shining,  Crystal looked amazing in her dress and Bill was beaming more than the sun itself.  We did a first look and Bill was all tears when he saw his beautiful wife for the first time.  After that we wandered the grounds of the beautiful Eagles nest Clubhouse and Tuscany Country Club Lounge.  What a beautiful place for someone to have their wedding and reception.  Everything was just perfect!

In La Jolla it has been a very wet and dreary October so far. This is very uncharacteristic for San Diego. Usually this time of year we are still wearing our bathing suits and enjoying the sun us as we drive around in our convertible. This year has been strange and Winter never quite loosened its grip on us. In honor of this rainy day I wanted to share 3 things Brett and I each love to do when the clouds bless us with their showers.

3 of my favorite things about rainy days:

– Siting down with a steaming cup of Earl Gray tea and listening to the tapping of rain hitting the windows.

– Wearing my rain boots and splashing in puddles.

– Watching the dogs prance around the yard trying desperately not to get their feet to wet.

3 of Brett’s favorite things to do when it rains:

– Drive around empty parking lots using the assistance of his emergency break. ( I only hear about it because he does it when I’m not in the car)

– Find big mud puddles to drive his truck through. (are you sensing a theme here?)

– Walk around without an umbrella and feel the rain drops on his head and shoulders.

I’m curious to hear what your favorite things are about rainy days… Enjoy the weather, and stay dry.  Unless your like Brett and enjoy walking in the rain.

Here are some fun pics that Maggie and I took the last time it rained….

On this wonderfully wet day, I pulled on my rain boots, dressed Maggie in a sweater and dragged Brett out for some pictures.  Honestly I look for any excuse to wear my rain boots.  If a neighbor left his sprinklers on to long and large puddles appeared on the sidewalk, I would be up for putting on the rain boots and taking advantage of the broken sprinklers.  Fortunately and unfortunately that never happens.  Today was a legitimate rain boot day, and Maggie and I went splashing in puddles.

Poor Maggie got to close to the splashing.

I heart rain boots and puddles!

From Maggie’s point of view I must look pretty funny.

Wet doggie!
