adios.

...off to costa rica yet again, but with the family this time. i couldn't be happier about a vacation at this point in my life. let's hope costa rica is the prescription i need to get rid of this headache that i have had going on for a week now....

to zip lining, white water rafting, waterfall repelling, & lots of relaxation!

proud.

so as i was doing my daily blog reading last week, i see this picture of mary kate and ashley olsen from the CFDA fashion awards and i realize that i have seen that picture before elsewhere. and then it hits me. my other brother who works as a celebrity photographer for patrick mcmullen is finally having his work published..and the best part? it's being published in blogs that i read daily. everything from... olsen's anonymous, because im addicted, just jared - on this link you can actually see that the photo is by him at the bottom, nytimes.com, & huffingtonpost.com. really, i couldn't be happier for him.
