Last night Mike and I went on a date. Not only is it rare that we go on dates. It’s rare that we go on dates on Saturday nights. For years and years and years (about 9 to be exact) Mike worked at auto dealerships and weekends were their biggest selling time, which meant he was almost always working. And often until very late. Even if I tried making plans to go to the movies or dinner or anything, he would have to call to cancel because he had a client and making that sale meant we paid our rent or later our mortgage. Well, Mike doesn’t work in the auto industry anymore, but now I work in the wedding industry where the vast majority of my weddings are on Saturdays!
Last night, we both had the day off and I impulsively bought us tickets to see Rent at the Hollywood Bowl. I had seen the movie Rent and saw Rent on Broadway in New York a few years ago. Mike had never seen it. I had a feeling he wouldn’t like it very much, but the night was about the experience. We both had never been to the Hollywood Bowl which is just an incredible venue. Pretty much anyone that was there would agree that Nicole Scherzinger was absolutely incredible. That girl can sing and perform like none other. If she chooses to continue a career in Broadway I will see anything she is in, and pay whatever it takes to get there to see it! For real.
So, considering that we don’t get out much and don’t dress up much, we took a few minutes before we had to leave to take some pictures of each other since we were looking so lovely. And can I just say that I am now convinced that hiring and training Mike to be my second shooter was by far the best decision I have ever made. I’m going to go ahead and say these are my favorite pictures of me. And not that it was a contest or anything….he soooo kicked my butt that I’m not even going to show the pics I took of him!! Also, we found my new favorite place to take pictures. It’s not an easy to get to place, we had to climb under a fence to get to it, but I’ve had my eye on it for a long time and I’m so glad we finally went there!
Here is an iPhone pic from the Hollywood Bowl. Love the subtle mountain view in the back!
