On my birthday Tommy and Alisha photographed Brittany and Zak's wedding! These are a few of my favorites for the day. I like the 3rd and 5th pix the best. They did a great job. I am very thankful that I got my birthday off but was sad to miss their special day.
I was working hard on Sunday (thinking it was Monday) til around 1pm when I realized. I took the rest of the day off. I did a little scrapping, card making and reading. It was rainy or I would have gone to play tennis with my mom. Mom still came over and we had a great time getting crafty! In the evening Tommy and I had an engagement session with friends of ours. Dave and Tommy worked at Cedar Point together and I know Dave from "The Dive" at Kent.
We had a Session on Monday with Rhonda Cline. She has two older sisters that I went to Centennial with. Rhonda went to CHS too but I had already graduated by the time she was a Freshman. She wanted to get some shots done because her grandpa said to her that he need a new 8x10 of her. The last pic he had of her was her Sr pictures. How cute is that?
On Monday after the session we went to Due Amici (where the photo above was taken) and got their Wild Mushroom Pizza, their new Calamari dish and desert of course. We sat out on the patio for at least an hour and a half and just talked. It was so nice and so relaxing to sit with Tommy and not talk about work, just us! Later that night we decided to watch What Lies Beneath.
Such a creepy/scary movie. Perfect for fall. I know that it's still August but Monday night it was really cool out. We have all the windows and back patio door open since then. I still don't want to fall to be here yet though.
Tuesday Night Special: Shopping & Outdoor Movies at Easton! Alisha and I met up at T.J. Max while Tommy went to the Verizon store. She was looking for a new dress to wear to the Big Rock V.I.P. Party on Friday night. She found a great dress and is going to raid my closet for some jewelry! I found a new pair of tennis shoes! I am so excited about them! I saw in desperate need of a new pair! Yeah for T.J. Max!
Then we went over to the fountain area in front of Brio and Set up chairs and blankets for eleven! We had some friends meet us there for Back to the Future on the outdoor screen! I had not seen Back to the Future since I was in elementary school; which is extra crazy considering that we own the trilogy.
Tim, Ako, Aila and Ako's dad were some of the friends that met us there. Ako's dad was in, for a visit, from Japan. It was so sad that when we saw Aila she was acting like she didn't know who we were! Has it really been that long. I guess two months. We've had such a busy summer. Once she figured out that I had grapes with me; she was my best friend all over again! She came up to me, said grape and put out her little hand. So sweet. She, of course, wanted more and I "made her" sign more to get another grape; each time. Later while she was sitting on the blanket, she looked up and the sky and signed night/evening! I couldn't believe it! I have never seen a kid that little sign something that advanced. It takes both hands/arms! Wow! I love the pic below. She was memorized by the movie screen; for a minute! lol. Thank goodness I caught it!
On Tuesday Night at 11:29 pm Christine and Danny had their third boy at 8lbs and 20 inches. Welcome to the world Baby Justin Progar! We can't wait to meet you in person!
Wednesday during the day I got some much done that I just couldn't get over it! So happy! For dinner I made a dish that I made last year. I had been craving it again. It's a Lemon Chicken Deep Fry Dish! Oh my goodness, it's so good. It's a RR Recipe; surprise, surprise! I made Martha Stewart's Lemon Curd instead of buying some, so easy and cheap to make. The batch I made was about a cup and a half. I used a cup for the recipe and saved the other half cup for toast in the mornings! I ended up prepping and Tommy cooking! Go Team Feisel!
Thursday was a busy day for Tommy; extra busy! He was working with Norwalk Furniture and Candice Olson for a Commercial Photo shoot! Thursday evening he went out to dinner with the team! During the day I had to run around town and took my mom along with me! We went to the post office, Archviers, Lowe's and more. By lunch time we were very hunger! We were still at Easton and wondering where we should go. I had been wanting to go to Red Robin. Jill and the fam go there often and I thought it would be nice to try one of their burgers!
We were very impressed; burger was great, onion rings were fab and I loved their chocolate malt. We split everything and we were two very happy campers! I would go back again. We had a wonderful time talking and eating out on their patio; was a beautiful day! We even ran into a couple of people that we knew. Not surprising! After lunch we went to my rents house to pick up dad and we were off to play some tennis.
It was the first time that the three of us had been out together in three years. I must say that we did fairly well. We didn't really keep score and we were aloud to hit on the third bounce but still... lol! I got some sun too! I feel like every time that I have been outside this summer it's for a wedding! After a solid hour of playing we went back to my house. While Tommy was having his dinner meeting we made pizzas and watched some F.R.I.E.N.D.S! For the second pizza we ran out of sauce... so we made it ourselves. It was such a great summer day!
Friday we worked til we needed to get ready! Ready, that is, for the VIP Party at Big Rock Little Rooster! We had such a great time! It was held at the store on High Street. Alisha, Sammy, Tommy and I got all decked out! It was really a great Party. Below is a photo of some of the models (including Amy) in the Display window! There were the live models all night and every time that we would turn our head toward the window there would be like 10 people outside pointing it was so funny. At one point there was a dad holding her 6 year old girl and she was asking daddy what they were doing. Also, at one point, two little girls got to come in past the ropes to get pictures taken with one of the models. They thought she was a princess. How cute is that? We spent two hours talking, sipping champagne, eating mini cupcakes and laugh out butts off with the owner of the store! She is such a hoot. We just met her last night. She was very impressed with the BRLR Shoot we did!

After the Party went to Lemongrass and got some Sushi. Alisha, T, Sammy and I all got a roll and then shared with everyone. The service was lacking but the food was really good. Tommy and I were happy that we finally had time to eat there!
After dinner (Alisha went home) T, Sammy and I went to Jeni's Ice Cream! They are famous in Columbus for their unique flavors! At some point you must go! I have only had it twice but love it! Jeni's donated for John & Amber's benefit. We had a live auction for 9 pints on dry ice! Tommy had one of their homemade cones with Salty Caramel! A flavor that they are famous for!
After desert we went to Bearnard's for some drinks and Pool! Tommy and Sammy played two other guys. They won but gave the game up to the guys that lost. It was time to go home and go to bed! Big Night! Fun Night! What a Blast!
