We're still here!

Wow, it's been awhile since our last post. We are terribly sorry to all of our adoring fans who flock to our blog every morning to catch the latest and greatest. These same fans have been leaving some nasty feedback for not posting in awhile so I wanted to at least make a post in their honor. OK, so that was actually my mother with the nasty feedback and she is our sole adoring fan...love ya mom!

Alright, enough shout outs to my mother. We are happy to report that our life is ALMOST back to normal after Hurricane Ike. We are still without cable and Internet. While that may sit well with some folks, Amy and I are at our wits end. How many times have you sat in front of your DVD selection all excited to pick a movie only to find yourself walking away empty handed because you've seen Lord of the Rings a million times. Lastly, the fact that we missed the season premier of The Office about ruined our week. Michael Scott and Dwight just make my day....I love Michael's quote to Dwight regarding his beets, "Nobody likes beets, Dwight! Why don't you grow something that everybody does like? You should grow candy." Being without cable is about as painful as watching Britney Spears make a come back.

We are starting to feel like Internet junkies...thinking of what coffee house close to us has free Wi-Fi or whose house can we "visit" to get free Internet. It's always awkward, you show up and act like you really want to have a conversation with your friends and slowly pull out your laptop to connect while pretending you are listening to them. I will say this, our good friends Donna and Shaun always hooked us up with Internet and a place to stay during the storm so we didn't have to look far for help...muchas gracias!

Once our Internet is back we will post some pics from the hurricane and some other miscellaneous shots. We are also trying to post more on a regular basis however this hurricane really threw us for a loop. We are excited about Red Room Studios and look forward to the remaining 2008 calendar however we have some BIG news coming in 2009 that really has us pumped. Stay tuned for more news regarding that announcement and as always, stay classy.

Hurricane Ike

**09.28.08 - update: although we have gotten our electricity back for a week now, we are still without internet access. I have done my best to find places to use the internet, but have limited it to answering client emails and such, so my apologies for not having updated our blog!! There has been a lot going on.**

Here are some pics that were sent to us of Galveston and Kemah:

Downtown Houston...Chase building

We went to downtown earlier today, and they still have this street closed

I heard that the builder that built this yellow home is getting a ton of business now! It obviously could withstand a lot!

Please keep all these people in your prayers...

Portland

I recently traveled to Portland, OR for a business trip and was surprised how beautiful the city was. Maybe it's because I'm used to the flat lands of Texas but Portland was anything but flat and boring. Being that it rains most of the year, the city was very green and the air was very fresh. Everyone was out riding their bikes, running, swimming, or rowing. The city was very active and really motivated you to explore and enjoy the outdoors. I brought my pocket camera and really didn't expect to get decent shots being I was short on time and was using our small Powershot. Here are a few shots from the surrounding area of the hotel I stayed in...enjoy.

Brian and Danette are married!

St. Louis is a special town to us...not only did Ben spend most of his life there, but his entire family still resides there.  We don't get to see them often, but when we do...we have a great time.

Ben's brother Brian married Danette this past weekend and we had the opportunity to be a part of it!  We not only love the job we do, but we love that we can do it for our family!

It was such a perfect summer day for an outdoor wedding at the Butterfly House in Chesterfield, Missouri.  Here's a few of our images from that day!
