First Whammy: Happy 6 year anniversary to my life-long sweetheart, I can't believe how lucky I am to be married to the most amazing man alive! The past 6 years have been nothing short of happiness and excitement, here's to the rest of our forever Justin!!!! I love my Hudd!

Second Whammy: We found out on our anniversary, August 2nd, that we won the Blu Photographer of Year 2008-2009 award! WOW! (Imagine our jaws dropped to the floor!) We can't believe it! WAHOOOOO! When we found out about our nomination we were extremely honored and flattered to just be mentioned among the other talented photographers in running. We want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that follows and supports our work, also to those who took the time to vote for us! This has been a fun ride and we loved every minute of it! We've read everyones' comments and feel a deep sense of gratitude for what has been said.

This photo was taken at my family reunion on our anniversary at the top of Sierra Trigo, I think it best fits how fun that day was! Yippee!

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY OVERLOOKED YOU GUYS AGAIN! I COULDN'T SLEEP LAST NIGHT I WAS SOOOO MAD!!! WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD EVER......WHAT!? What was that? Oh...wait up,...they won? Oh good. See... I always new that you would do it. You are the best. CONGRATS my friends. You guys, I had a dream last night and Nate was in it and he was showing me how to flip his hat (like in the Man of the Year pics), It was cool...but wierd. Don't tell anyone. I don't want anyone thinking I'm crazy. Tell Nate, it was nice to meet him.
