Countdown to Maggie/Emily

MAGGIE AND EMILY

are coming to visit next Friday. I couldn't be more excited! I hope to have tons of pictures of their visit. This is the two crazy kids being silly on my computer, literally years ago. :)

Also, it's raining here. We haven't experienced real rain in LA until now, so it's nice to see all the plants getting water and the sky a beautiful gray.

party time!

I've been pretty busy lately. For the past few weeks I've been a temp worker at Mark's company. I'm not sure how much longer it will last, but I really like the work and all the people. On Friday Betty (the CEO) invited all employees (and temp workers, cha-ching!) to a BBQ at her house. Here are some pictures from the party, taken by my favorite Apogee employee Mick.  :)

Here's Mark in the center hanging out where the food is being prepared. Betty's house is beautiful. The party was outside where there's a pool (with a slide!), a hot tub, a bar, and a grassy area up some wooden stairs. It backs up into the Brentwood hills.

This is me and Sophie. She does PR for Apogee, and she's a writer, so we had A LOT to talk about. She's very fun and nice!

The guy on the right is Kevin, the head engineer. He's basically Mark's immediate boss. He did NOT want to take a picture with me. Hahah.

The stone circle is the hot tub, and the stairs on the right lead up to the water slide and to the grassy area.

It's a beautiful day!

There's me on the left and Betty on the right. :)

The next 3 pictures are from the teambuilding games. First there's me and my team for the story-writing contest, which, of course, we won. :) Or, we tied for first place. I'll take it as a win.

And now the real fun begins! Pool time!

Left to right, Lucas, me and Matt in the pool.

Here's Mark after going down the awesome slide.

Yay! Me and Mick! :)

And now, we're having a fun/relaxing weekend. More pics to come soon of the apartment. It's really starting to come together.

Love,

He gets fed.

Just in case you were wondering, Mark gets enough food to eat for lunch. :) Who knew I would actually love packing lunches so much?

Jobby Job

Hi everyone! I wanted to let you guys know that I found a part time job at Pier 1 right around the corner. It's nice because I can walk, and I will still have time to do all my writing jobs. :)

More to come later! Going to work tonight for a floor set. Fun fun, right Chels?

Mark's an Uncle!

Today Carl and Stephanie, Mark's oldest brother and his wife, brought Jack into the world! Here are two pictures of Jack Rutledge Freeman, 7 lbs, 3 oz.

Welcome to the outside world, Jack!

video time!
