I really never thought I would blog about tv, but here I go!
So, with everything going on in our lives, Derek and I really don't make time to watch tv. We will watch The Office on a regluar basis, but mostly thanks to hulu. We will watch reruns of The Simpsons, Family Guy, or almost anything on the food network or learning channel when we are lying in bed trying to go to sleep. BUT- I have found a couple of shows that I feel I can't pass up. I have a secret love for So You Think You Can Dance. The set up is very similar to American Idol, but for dancers, and I LOVE IT! I am slightly obsessed with contemorary (or modern) dancing, and I love love love when they show or choreograph that style!! My other hidden love is Fox's show Glee. I REALLY REALLY love this show! There was a sneak preview of the show after American Idol, and it reminds me of Findlay's show choir, FFE (Findlay First Edition). It is an odd show, no doubtedly, but I love it anyhow!
So, I am not sure what the point of this blog is other than letting people be aware of my addictions, or having people join in my addictions!
Oh well, happy watching!!
xo!

NEW YORK, NEW YORK!
Over Memorial Weekend I went to Nikki's to have an early birthday celebration for her! I arrived on Friday evening. We had dinner with Zach and Gene, and Saturday we went out to White Plains. We ate at The Melting Pot, and went out dancing and saw the band 29 Mariner. The band loved us! Here is our Charlie's Angels pose! In Order: Natalia, me, Beth, Nikki.
Sunday was a relax day! We went to a diner for breakfast/lunch, and I had the greatest chocolate chip waffle with whip cream!
Monday (Memorial Day) Nikki and I went in to the city. We ate at The Olive Tree in the Village, I got an AMAZING jasper stone ring, and Nikki got a moonstone ring. We walked around and did some shopping, and then we went in to Manhattan. We saw Time Square! Monday was the first day they shut down Time Square to cars/traffic, so people were sitting in the middle of the street in lawn chairs! We literally danced in the street! It was also fleet week, so we saw and took pictures with sailors!! :)
We has dinner at Juniors. It is a diner/restaurant/bakery that has been on Bobby Flay's Throw Down show! We ordered the cheesecake he was up against, and it was AMAZING!!! YUM!!
I had to go to the M&M store! I love them! They have a machine that tells you which m&m you are. I was hoping to be pink, but I was the light purple, and the quote was "Once people meet you, they understand what all the fuss is about." Nikki was the peanut butter m&m, and her quote was something like "a little bit smooth, but a little bit nutty!" haha!
Tuesday I came home, and Derek picked me up from the airport. He took me straight to work... and here I am!
It was a great weekend!!
While I was in New York, Derek and Mike worked on our bathroom. Derek gutted it, and he and Mike are now putting it back together. Needless to say, I will be happy when it is over, and I have a beautiful, new, tiled bathroom!
YAY!

I can see where this might be an issue...
So, I received a Caribou gift card from my boss for "administrative professionals" day a couple of weeks ago. He makes fun of the 'long name drink' that I get, and he decided to support my caffeine habit with a gift card. I am not going to lie, I am a red canned coffee girl, because, according to experts, I don't really like coffee, I like the cream and sugar! So, I get a non-fat, sugar free, vanilla latte when I decide to splurge on an overpriced drink! Well, now that the weather is nice, I have been walking down to the Caribou in the mornings to get a drink. I LOVE IT!! I love that it is a little outside time from the office, and I love my lattes!! I love that our office is on France Avenue now, and there are all these little fun shops that I walk pass too! Well, the problem is that my gift card is only for $25, and I have already spent $6 of it.... now if I do the math right, this gift card will not last me the summer season of nice weather, even if I take out the rainy days! SO... this might be an issue for my pocket book! haha! Actually, it won't be because I have a little voice inside my head (aka Derek's voice) saying "don't spend the money, we have bills to pay." So, I will be responsible, but if there is any one who would like to buy me a caribou gift card, please feel free! :) jk!
On a COMPLETELY unrelated note.... My blog is semi-up!!!!!! it is blog.photojessic.com I have to work on the layout and photo size. I am also still working on my logo, but the blog is up at least! There are a couple of things on there right now, if you would like to take a look. The website is coming along, but it might be a few more weeks!!! I need to make brochures, business cards, etc, but I have to finalize the logo before I print anything!

Last Great Grandparent
My great-grandmother on my mom's side passed away this past Sunday morning. Here is the brief article-
Taken from Robinson Daily News
Twila Perkins
Twila Jones Perkins, 82, Robinson, died about 5:15 a.m. Sunday, May 3, 2009, at Ridgeview Care Center, Oblong.
The funeral is 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 5, at Goodwine Funeral Home, Robinson. Burial is in the Westlawn Cemetery, Newton. Visitation will be from noon to 2 p.m.
I was not able to attend the funeral, but my thoughts are with my family. It is difficult to live far away from family, but I should be used to it by now! :) She was my last living great-grandparent, so it was hard to think she is gone.
IN OTHER NEWS:
My mom visited a couple of weeks ago, and we had a great time!
My business is off to a slow but steady start! I have an llc.... it is call: photojessic photography! A website and blog dedicated to only my work will be up soon! I will keep a link posted on here as well.
I attended a photography workshop this past Saturday, and it was amazing!! I LOVED IT!!! I wish I could go to one every weekend! Ok, maybe that is a bit much, but it was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot. I have a lot to think about as a business owner, and it helped me straighten some ideas I had out! :)
My blog got a facelift!... I like it!
My friend Sarah officially moved to Vegas last week, and I am super sad!!
If anyone would like some summer photos of their family, baby, themselves, pets, what ever! Please let me know! I am eager to get busy with work again for the summer! I have a couple of new ideas that I am thinking about, and a couple new spots I would like to shoot!
So, those are my random thoughts for now! Sorry there haven't been photos lately! I will have to stop slacking! :)
xo!

About Me
- Jessie LS Newbauer
- Twin Cities, MINNESOTA
- I am a graduate from the University of Minnesota. I have a B.A. in Communication Disorders, and I have taken classes in photography and visual arts. I have a wonderful husband, a house, and two cats. I am an office manager and photographer for a wedding photography company in the twin cities, and I am working to start my own photography business in child, baby, belly, family, and high school senior portraits. I love natural lighting and I like getting as many candids as possible. I also love setting up photo shoots with backdrops, props, and cute outfits! I enjoy "choreographing" shots, not posing! I feel my style is mostly photo journalistic with a little bit of traditional and artistic thrown in the mix. I started this sight to share my work as well as keep updated with my family and friends! We seem to get more and more spread out across the country, but I am hoping to keep everyone informed on what is happening in my life with this blog. I also hope to share a little bit about myself with the people I photograph. I feel like I am photographing important moments and people in their lives, so I want them to get a glimpse of who I am as well.
