Adventures of Husby + Wifey: Afternoon Intruders

before_after_slideshow_0061
So many of you may know that Husby and Wifey just moved into their first home. Yes, 4 bedrooms and a long anticipated fireplace.

Wifey is now an official expert in home buys and a Craigs-lister to the core. Meanwhile Husby is exerting his Mountain Man bravado and chopping wood for the fire like he’s preparing for the snow-Apocolypse.  (for those who live in Portland, you know this actually happened)

They are very happy.

But it didn’t start out nearly so pleasant…

Upon moving in, Husby, the ever-cautious security buff, suggested, “Now we just need to change all the locks. You never know who has a key to your house”.

Wifey looked askance, superiority written all over her face. “Who actually does that? No one has a key to our house. Plus, that would cost a fortune!”

And so they let the matter lie.

All was warm and delightful for several weeks. One bright Monday afternoon, Husby had the rare pleasure of a holiday. (As everyone knows, working for the government does have it’s benefits when it comes to holidays. 😉 Husby sat idly smoking his pipe in the office and  Wifey toddled off for a quick errand. A peaceful silence settled over the house, with Husby’s puffing the only disturbance.

Husby eased back in his chair, but almost fell out of it when the silence was interrupted by two male voices. The side door was unlocked and the garage opened. Their raucous voices filled the open doorway and Husby bolted for the bedroom for some kind of weapon. Snatching up the handy 9mm, Husby headed straight for them.

Two burly strangers stood in the garage, pawing about the still unopened boxes.

It was Husby’s time to shine. “What the heck are you doing in our garage?” he demanded.

Panicing the intruders fumbled, “we are looking for some tools we left here”.

yeah. right.

“Give me the key you have and get out” rejoined Husby.

The would-be burglars loosed a venimous look in Husby’s direction and scrambled out. Husby called the police and reported the incident. Meanwhile Wifey returns home, gone for only 30 minutes, and is struck dumb by the tale.

Needless to say, Wifey listend to Husby after that. They changed the locks.

Moral: Listen to your husband. You really never know who has a key to your new house.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.

Long before I was engaged, I knew I wanted Christa Taylor Photography to capture the special moments of my wedding. She more than met our expectations, and seldom a month goes by without somebody telling us how gorgeous our wedding pictures turned out! 
 Working with Christa is like finding some awesome girlfriend who completely gets you and can show you the beauty in whatever project you're undertaking. I recommend her to every bride I work with! Thank you, Christa, for your incredible work!

"Christa is professional, fun, creative and in touch with her clients. She makes everyone look and feel beautiful. We could not be happier with her and her work."

Christa is absolutely PHENOMENAL! My husband and I are beyond blessed to have had her capture our day! She was so great at directing people kindly and having fun too! She's a blast and we enjoyed the day more because of her! We loved getting to know her and she even had us to her home the week after our wedding for a brief photo shoot since the weather had been bad on the wedding day...she really went above and WAY beyond the call of a photographer and became our friend! She's the type we'd schedule a photo shoot with simply to see her and catch up!! Her baby is the cutest most joyful girl just like her momma! 💕There are not words to reccomend Christa highly enough! 💕We love you Christa!!
