Easter Holiday 2011

If you are living in the Bluegrass state, then you most likely had a very wet Easter Sunday.  I hope all the rain didn't put a damper on your holiday!  Hehe.  Despite the tornado weather, Gabe and I celebrated a lovely Easter with our family.  We were in Louisville for the weekend and then came back to Lexington to have dinner with my folks, siblings, and nephews.  Here are few pictures from the Lashbrook side of things. Have a great Tuesday!  Less than a week until we launch our new brand.  I am working like a busy little bee making sure everything is in order for the launch and our giveaways.  What are we giving away, you ask?  Here's a hint for one of the gift cards:  think yogurt.  Froyo to be exact.

This egg is concerned he's going to be found.

Dear Friends

I have some of the best friends ever. I used to walk around the halls of my high school, as a freshman, and wish for a close group of girls to laugh with and confide in.  And, of course, this group of friends had to set me up with my crush and share clothes with me.  By the end of high school, I had found those girls.  (PS - I didn't end up having a boyfriend in high school but I knew these ladies were my wing-women.)   I was so blessed.  The same thing happened in college.  I went away, down the road to a small school, and hoped I'd make those long-lasting friendships everyone seems to have in college and beyond.  I didn't need a lot of friends; just a few to make it through late-night studying, break ups, and the beginning of my coffee addiction with.  I don't see or talk to every friend from high school or college but there are a few that still very near and dear to my heart.  And now, five years later, I have a few more girls who I love sharing life with.  I have been so blessed.  I have never had to go through a season (good or bad) alone. One of these friends is Lizbeth.  She is below with her adorable daughter, Ada.

Thanks, dear friends, whether you live in Georgia, Texas, New York, New Hampshire or down the road.  Love you.

FYI - I am afraid this note makes me sound like I am dying.  I'm not.

In the Family

Lately, my nephews are going through a guitar phase.  Now, I gave the guitar a shot about 12 years ago, hoping to channel my inner Joan Baez or Jewel.  It didn't work our for me.  The recipe of strumming, chords and rhythm required to play was not something I could concoct.    But guess who plays?  Uncle Gabe!  Whenever my nephews see Gabe, they run up to him and scream "Teach me the guitar!"  Gabe obliges.  Nathan, age eight, wants to play the electric.  Noah, age three, has the desire to play the bass.  He tried to grab Gabe's bass the other day.  Luckily, the thing was so heavy he didn't get very far.  It's strings are as big as his fingers!  So they will begin with the good old acoustic.

My Love

It's my first Vday as the Mrs. For the longest time I thought I'd never have a Valentine.  I was okay on my own, surrounded by wonderful friends and family.  I even started a business.  Then I met him almost two years ago.  From our first date I knew he was someone I needed to hold on to.  He is funny, smart, so sweet, and the most handsome man.  We fell in love and now we are married.  I have never been happier.

I love you Gabriel.  Happy first Valentines.

This is the first picture I ever took of Gabe.  It was taken with the Holga he gave me shortly after we started dating.

Our first picture together.  Aww.

:)  See what I mean about him being the most handsome man?
