ATOMIC MOOSE PHOTOGRAPHY: Home away from Home

About every year, my best friend and her family go on a week long vacation in the summer during which week they ask me to watch (and by that I mean LIVE IN) their home and take care of their adorable tiny chihuahua, LOLA. It might just be my favorite week of the year. Last year I decided to make a photo journal of my stay that week.. and then NEVER had the time to make it for them before they got back.. I left a detailed letter instead. NOW, out six months later, I have them fairly presentable.. and extremely narrowed down, for I don't quite remember that whole week long, long ago. So here I will present you with that lovely vacation, about a few blocks from my actual home. It's beautiful how small changes in life can provoke refreshing, amazing, exuberant emotions to make believe that vacations are happening! That home is my home away.. even though just a few blocks... from home. THANK YOU kelly, kim, courtney, and cassidy!

BUT before we go on.. I wanted to SHOUT OUT to my good friend from Washington who has been reading my most rambling blogs and decided yesterday to leave me a comment! :) THANKS HEATHER!! she is great and if you aren't heather and reading my blog, you should go read hers too!

and with doggies comes trouble and one day lotus tried to get out of the bedroom. She thought she would just dig herself under the door.. this was my best attempt at repairs :/ sorry guys!!
