Stippled
Doug wanted some uniformity on the “people” section of our company website. After trying to digitally change portraits into stipples using Photoshop, he decided to commission the real deal; they just didn’t look quite the same when done digitally. He wanted the artist that does the iconic stipple portraits for the Wall Street Journal. He…

My {new} Job: Party Planner
My boss came to me with an interesting proposal: I was to contact Sam Tsui, the youtube sensation, and see if I could schedule him for a private concert. His wife’s birthday was coming up in three months and he had some tricks up his sleeve for the biggest surprise birthday bash I’ve ever witnessed.…

HOA
After much deliberation, we did it. We bought a house. We’ve been moved in just over a month now and we love it. We somehow managed to get even closer to our place of work. We had a 3 minute commute before from our apartment to work and we literally cut it in half to…

Vegas Baby
Aubrey had the genius idea awhile back for an annual girls-trip with our high school buddies. This year, for the first year, we landed on Vegas. I am seriously so lucky to have the friends I do. I just love ’em. Chelsea, Aubrey Brittney and I all made it for this trip. We missed everyone…

These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty!
So Vanessa called me back in February to let me know Jerry Seinfeld was coming to Boise.THE Jerry Seinfeld. We didn’t even hesitate and instantly bought our tickets. The months leading up to the big day were riddled with texts back and forth of Seinfeld quotes. We had to be prepared. We started off the…

The Squeaker

Go Team
Who says Mondays are the worst? We actually got a nice surprise at work on Monday. Our boss asked us around noon if we wanted to go to a Utah Jazz playoff game that night at 6:00. What kind of question is that? Absolutely we want to go to a Jazz game. Then I saw…

Fruits of Our Labor
We decided to take what we learned and put it to the test. We made some classic California Rolls last week with our new rolling skills. Sometimes it’s nice to stay in for date-night. Sushi night: successful.

St. Valentine
Doug and I were babysitting on actual Valentines day so we had to save our special date for the weekend. That didn’t stop Doug from having these beautiful flowers delivered to the office for me. I got Dougie his favorite Jelly Bellys, a blank canvas and a download for the full Lord of the Rings…

When in Rome…
We had a little murder mystery dinner at our place the other night. We love these. My friend, Marilee, introduced me to them 5 or so years ago and we’ve attended/hosted quite a few since. Our favorite part is dressing up. Well, actually Doug hates to dress up, but I love it and I love…
Got any book recommendations?
