  • WELCOME!

    Hola peeps! Welcome to Casa de Lewis. We are twenty somethings who got married in 2010, bought a house in 2011, and are now trying to get it all together in 2012! We both started our careers as CPAs and now Reagan works for the Boys & Girls Club and I have my own photography business. I blog about crafts, photography, DIY projects, sweet treats, random life tidbits, and things I love! The design and migration from Blogger is still in the works, so thanks for being patient! And thanks for stopping by! Snoop around, why dontcha :)

I think I shall paint the dining room…

Last Saturday morning I woke up and decided I would paint the dining room. Yeah, really. So I borrowed a paint swatch from my sister – Benjamin Moore Thunder – and brought it home. I held it up and said – Yep! So I took the swatch to Sherwin Williams where I am a preferred customer (yep, pretty big deal) and got my No VOC can of paint for 10% off! Whoop! I came home, cleaned, and started edging.

Reagan helped clean too!  :)

I painted the majority of the room on Sunday afternoon. But guuuuueeess what? My Monday was jam packed, Tues – Thurs was filled with CPA-ing, and I am about to jet off to shoot a wedding today. I am going to Fredricksburg tomorrow and have two sessions on Sunday and Monday BUT hopefully I can finish the edging sometime this weekend and show you. I love it. Like kind of obsessed with it love it!!! Eek!

PS – I am behind on blogging…my father-in-law turned the big 6-0 yesterday! Happy Birthday Rob!! Glad we got to celebrate with you this past weekend!

12 Weeks Pregnant

I’m 12 weeks preggo this week! Hasta la vista first trimester! I’m not so sure about this photo taking business, but I’m gonna stick it out. This dress – not the most flattering. This pose – well, I think it actually makes me look more pregnant than I do in real life?! I actually kinda look pregnant in this photo! Or bloated, your choice.

I’ve been really lucky. So far I have only yacked twice and I’m not sure that I’d count either of them as true morning sickness. The first time I threw up after eating yogurt, but yogurt is kinda weird anyways. I mean, right? And the second time was definitely initially car sickness. I don’t think my preggo stomach could handle it though, so upchuck galore. Behind a Whataburger. On our way home from Utopia. Classy. I do get crazy hungry these days and if I don’t have something to eat within two seconds (literally), then I can feel a little nauseous. But then when I eat something I am fine.

Dude, I can smell like you wouldn’t believe. And everything smells. Milo smells, the kitchen smells, our room smells, your face smells, everything smells.

I’ve never been so tired in my life. Add in tax season, second shooting weddings on Saturdays, and a busy month for portrait sessions…and color me exhausted. It was so fun to shoot so many sessions these last couple months, but I am still playing catch up! I’ve got more sessions to blog and my May schedule is quickly filling up. Luckily tax season is over! The best news is that for the first time since I was like 12, I can fall asleep before 11pm. It’s like a Christmas miracle.

I’ve been running a few times a week and plan to keep going til I’m large and in charge!

That’s all I got right now. TMI? Well, get used to it. If you have any other questions, I’m sure I missed something, so feel free to ask! I leave you with this…

Happy Birthday Pops!

Happy Birthday Dad!

All the kids flew into Albuquerque this past weekend for a quick “surprise” visit for my dad’s 60th birthday! On Saturday night we went to a restuarant called  Bien Shur at the top of Sandia Casino overlooking the golf course and the mountains. It was awesome and the food was amazing. Afterwards we played downstairs with the Liesl Bug for a bit and snapped a couple photos…

My cute parents :)And the best part – playing with Liesl!

Hope you have a great day Dad!

My New Kicks

I’m not sure what it means that I make entire blog posts related to shoes. I like shoes, ok? Especially new running shoes. Especially new running shoes that give me motivation to RUN!

I don’t know about you, but new running shoes or running clothes give me that little extra boost of motivation to get out there!

I’ve been avoiding buying new running shoes because I have worn the same Nike Free’s forever it seems like. I made sure to purchase an extra pair, when I discovered I loved that specific version so much. Of course, they no longer make that version and I was forced to try something new. These are from the Nike Lunarswift family. So far, so good!

Happy running!  :)
