Once a Beatnik, always a Beatnik.
When Luke and I started dating I was living above an incredible photography studio, art gallery, concert venue, all around cool space called Beatnik. I was a fixture there and definitely part of the family as I helped with everything from painting walls, bartending, stage building, pancake flipping, you name it- and I did it there. Well, after five years, they have decided to relocate and it's only natural that I wanted to help. With a busy day today, we jammed over there this morning to help clean the demodust a d scraps at the new space and I'll be back again tomorrow. Til then here's a glimpse at what's going on:

Midtown Cocktail Week
Well our participation has been limited to just the weekend, but we've made the most of it by spending Friday night at Grange's "The Best Dam Party" (think 1920's-1950's in Amsterdam's Red Light District) and tonight helping out a friend live paint during the West End Party (art, bands, eats and drinks) at Blackbird.

lululemon athletica
So the biggest news in my life right now is I have begun a new (and full time!) position with lululemon athletica. I have been really hesitant to say anything until things are official, but considering I'm day 4 into training, I think it's pretty Official. :)
I'm really struggling to put into words how incredibly happy and grateful I am right now. In short I will just say- two of our training days included not just lunch breaks, but PAID YOGA BREAKS!!! Are you kidding me?!?! Amazing! I am in bliss.
And technically, I am I'm Berkeley getting ready to begin another shadow shift. So I must run, but it is a happy Friday today!

Fourth of Juuuuuly
The Fourth of July is generally not one of my favorite holidays, but this year was definitely a ton of fun. It was hotter than hell, but we spent the day wading in kiddie pools, laughing with friends, eating BBQ, drinking cold beverages, and of course oohing and ahhing over fire works.
We seem to start every weekend/holiday with a bike ride to get coffee and the 4th was no different.
Shaun looking a awfully elderly as he dealt with the insect problem before the party started.
Holy Moly. I hadn't eaten a spare rib in almost a decade. I HAD NO IDEA THEY WERE SO GOOD! (and the always darling Julie with me)
GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS
Sweet bike short tan lines, baby.
Anniversary
Okay, okay, I am WAY over due for a blog post. (I know it's been awhile when even Lucas is hassling me about not posting.) So here are some from our anniversary which was July 17th.
Lukey lookin all Blue Steel
We shared dessert before dinner. (The special wedding cupcakes had been in our apt for almost 24 hours already, I couldn't wait any longer)
My gift to Lucas were some prints of photos we had taken that I felt were very Us
Ever the thoughtful one, Luke knew that traditionally the second anniversary is the Cotton Anniversary so earlier in the week I came home to a new cotton dress. :)

No longer BikeWife.
Instead I am now a Cyclist. Yep, after cycling near 40 miles yesterday, and waking up with a wicked tan line from my padded bike shorts, and ready to go bike more, I realized I have made the switch. I no longer ride my bike just to get from point A to point B, or because I know it makes Luke happy. It makes me happy now. :) here are some pics from our trek yesterday:
