Happy Anniversary!

by aaron on August 12th, 2009

Eight years ago today I married my best friend. So much has changed since then, but I am so blessed to still be able to spend every day with Michelle. And of course having Sebo around reminds us of how amazingly lucky we are.

Here is a video of Sebo’s first ride on a carousel (with some brief cameos from our cousins Rachael and Emily): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bREdZi3HvY

Lotta things

by aaron on August 7th, 2009

Family was in town last weekend from Ohio and we had a blast. Petted stingrays, which was crazy. Family in town this weekend from Missouri. Tomato art festival. Parties. Getting paintings ready to ship to a new gallery in California. Friend coming into town next weekend. 8 year anniversary on Wednesday. Sebo can climb the stairs and open the door in his room now.

Lotta things.

Even dad can do it.

I was with Michelle and Sebo at the self-checkout in Kroger and I overheard the self-serve Kodak picture center blaring out a voice-recording, advertising their Easy and Quick collage system. The thing that struck me as strange was when the woman’s voice said “Making a collage with your photos is so easy, even dad can do it.” Made me think of the Geico “Even a caveman can do it” commercials.

Thanks, Kodak.

Hardee’s

by aaron on July 22nd, 2009

You know how there are those business locations that just can never seem to, well, stay in business? We have one of those in Bellevue. Actually we have a TON of those in Bellevue, but there’s this one place next to the McDonald’s that’s just never been able to maintain a decent tenant. For years Michelle and I have been saying it would be a GREAT place for a Baja Fresh. Well, they’ve flattened the lot and they are starting to build a Hardee’s. Now, while I’m a little happy about this, since the nearest Hardee’s (Carl’s Jr for all you West Coast people) is about 20-30 minutes away, I would have to say that Hardee’s is pretty much the mathematical opposite of Baja Fresh.

Oh well. There’s also an empty place on Hwy 70 where I think would make a great location for Bongo Java West. But I’m not holding my breath.

Here’s a great feature on one of my new galleries in Florida. It was shot a few weeks before they had any of my art, so no Aaron cameos in this one :)

I just got word this afternoon that, thanks to Stephanie Lowe, my new Art Rep (did I mention I have an Art Rep now?) my paintings can now be found in The Art of Simple Gallery located in one of my favorite places in the world: Seaside, Florida. We are VERY excited!
