Adventures in Babysitting

I have kind of an odd job…if you watch CSI…my job is a deglamorized version of that. Most people are pretty surprised when they find out…they seem to put me in the category of preschool teachers or librarians (which I admit I would love to do either). However, my job is very practical, stress-free, and very secure. I am so blessed, especially in this rough patch in the economy. My days off are pretty variable so I had yesterday and today off. So, I went to my older sister’s and watched her 9 month old twin girls so she could get out and run errand.

Man, my nieces are adorable…but, oh, boy…they can wreak havoc. They are now mobile…they can crawl. They can pull themselves up and thus pull things down. And their new favorite snack is paper. They kept me busy and sometimes I just sat and watched them destroy things together because it was just fascinating to watch. I came home and told my startled husband “I want twins.” He said “okay, as long as they are born two years apart.” Hmmm, I guess that’s a no.

I’m trying to blog but I’m a little distracted watching Top Chef. I definitely have a crush on Fabio. Scott knows…I must tell him 10 times during every episode.

Wedding Day Bells-Heather and Brandon

A month ago, I got an call from Moana Bjur, from Sands of Time Weddings. I’ve photographed weddings for her before and I have always loved her weddings. They’re beautiful down to the smallest details and so well-organized, which I love (I’m a high S and C in the DISC personality tests). This time was different because she also needed an officiant and so, my hubby, Scott got a call too and we got to work together. The couple, Heather and Brandon, had asked for the officiant to wear a solid colored shirt, preferably blue. I was thinking a muted blue or maybe a navy. But, no, the morning of the wedding Scott pulled out this bright, vivid blue shirt. He insisted on it, saying it was a “non-aloha” aloha shirt. I don’t know what that means. Thankfully, he didn’t steal the spotlight because all eyes were on the Heather and Brandon. The groom, Brandon, is stationed nearby on the Kaneohe Bay Marine and the men were in their dress blues. It looked spectacular against the white sands and blue ocean.

Kailua Beach is our stomping grounds but I have never been to a wedding there. It was a young, fun wedding…including the classical procession music played from the groom’s jeep, the bride going barefoot under her beautiful strapless gown, and of course, the family having way too much fun with the formal portraits. We also had a few beach-goers who sat nearby and watched the whole wedding. That’s Kailua, my old hometown for you.
