thoughts on boston

I just want to say how grateful I am that not very many

people were seriously injured or killed. 

I find it terrible that a little 8 yr old boy, cheering 

on his dad running was one of the 3. 

I didn't know anyone running but my friend

did qualify to go run but couldn't due to injury

in hindsight she does believe God was watching 

out for her and protecting her

this one photo is one I have gone back to view a lot

and it just hits my heart. this man lost both legs.

such a devastating day.

read the quote below and this pretty much sums

up how I feel. 

Runners are a strong breed. Especially marathoners and

ultra runners, these people are so intense and passionate

about life, fitness, health and family. They are definitely 

the wrong group to target.

having something like this happen really does

make me think i'm never going out in public again

but is that even realistic? You just need to 

be aware of whats going on around you and be 

prepared if something like this happens.

lots going on...

first off... some exciting news...

we have a newest addition to the extended Antis Family

Maximus Erek Butler

his mom is Aaron's cousin. Max is the 2nd great-great grand child

with his 2nd GG grandfather still living! at 92 yrs old. 

Amazing.

can't wait to have me one of these... one day!

for now... I have my little pup-pup Trigger! 

he's my baby

he even whines.

ain't he cute?! 

he loves to be wrapped up in my robe...

in this pic his head is only showing... he loves it

in other news.... I am so glad I went to this

I Run Like a Girl Fun Run

put on by RoadRunner Sports in laguna hills

I had so much fun. 3 friends came.

here is the proof.

all done with our 4 mile run.. feelin' good!

stumbled across this running quote

its my favorite now

Conference Weekend

We have had a pretty chill weekend.

We love those.

Trigger does too.

you guys are going to die. i photographed this backyard

on friday for a client that i have. i just about died when i 

saw the backyard. it was featured on HGTV's "I Want That"

this is just on my phone, but i'll check out my work

FB page and there are a few more

I am THRILLED now to say I am a proud owner

of a 10-22mm ultra wide angle lens. 

this is the big time people.

some clients have actually refused to do work with me

until i got this lens. now no one can say no to me! :-)

Its truly remarkable how wide it is without distorting

the photos in any way. it makes a HUGE difference

especially in smaller properties.

We headed to the gym on friday night as well.

We like to do that together. 

I also like to sneak pix of my hot hubby

lifting weights. hehe 

Did you know this machine is called the 

Thighsolator? 

this thing is a beast but i love it. 

especially when checking out my 

brand new birthday kicks. 

Nike Zoom Structure 16+

I also might have kicked my OWN butt on the treadmill

but i am SO glad i did.

***Now Go Workout Everyone!***

Can't wait to try these GU products i snatched up at sports chalet.

my little human and lunch

my little pup is turning into a human. 

puman.

This is in our bedroom and he'll just perch up on the window sill

and watch other dogs or people go by. So funny.

For visiting teaching this month, I was 

fortunate to get 2 new girls

to teach me. I am thrilled to say the least.

They took me out to Rocq Cafe 

in lake forest.

If you haven't been, it is a little gem 

and you need to go asap.

right now. run. it's a french place.

I got the la normande crepe with ham, 

swiss cheese, 

mushrooms and a mouth full of other 

flavors on a wheat crepe... 

I've never had a 

non fruit crepe 

before so I wanted to see what

 that was all about. 

So. Good.

I also got to try a macaroon

for the first time! 

LOVED THEM.

chocolate mint is my favorite, 

of course.

and lastly how could you go wrong with a
 8 minute 1994 ab workout via youtube

Please check it out and do it every single day.

I am. 

You'll be better for it.

and p.s. i hit over 100+ miles of running 
so far this year
i am excited. i need to get
my butt in gear if i'm going 
to do 1,000 though!
