Kids Say The Cutest Things!

I couldn't resist sharing this after reading one of my friends "status updates" on Facebook. Her most adorable little girl...

"You've wuined my wife!" (You've ruined my life.) A new one from my three year old after I told her pants and skirts can't be worn as hats on the top of her head.

Happy Friday Everyone!

New Leather Handbag!

I'm learning quickly that there are some great perks that come along with this job! We have a massage therapist that visits once/week, an amazing on-site gym, lunch vendors that come to us everyday (Famous Daves, Valentino's, Mr Goodcents), and the sales rep's love us!!
Today Moore and Giles (one of our high-end leather vendors) stopped by and gave me a new leather handbag!! Simply for just being a new designer, and I suppose he wants to me to use his leather in the jets I'm designing! ;)  The great thing is that there is a rewards program, so the more leather I use, the more handbags I get!! I'm thinking I could get used to this! :) They have some great handbags and travel accessories! Check out their website
here!

Happy 1st Birthday, Raegan!

This weekend was our niece Raegan's 1st Birthday!!
Isn't she a doll?!? Love her!

 Huston playing soccer!

 Opening our present!
 We got her this little tutu, complete with little tights and a shirt! Tutu cute! :)

 This is not really birthday party related, but since I was at their house I thought I'd share!
Justin and Erin recently finished their basement and asked for my help/advice on carpet and paint colors!
It turned out really nice!
 Tons of space for the kiddos to play!
What a fun party!

My Job!

I really have been wanting to post a little update about my job, and give some insight of what I've been doing so far! First, I LOVE IT!! I think I have the best job in the world, seriously:)  We're very, very busy. It's a little crazy, but that's a good thing.

As you know from a previous post, we are designing a plane for The Walton's (the Wal Mart empire). We had a meeting with them on-sight. Here's a little taste of how it went/what we do...

First, there's a conference call, so that we can get an idea of what they like (color/design wise). From that conversation, we pull a bunch of things we think would look nice in their jet.
We set up a bunch of samples in our conference room for them to browse through in our first meeting...

We have some amazing fabrics!

 We also put together some of our own ideas for color schemes that we think would look nice in their jet...

The carpet we use is 100% wool (and sometimes silk), so that it can meet burn tests (for fire). It costs around $400+/sq yard. Crazy stuff.
During the meeting we work with them to make their final selections. Sometimes what we think they might like and what they actually like are totally different. Here's the color board we sent off to them this week with the options they liked most!
And finally, although I don't spend a lot of time here (besides computer drawings), here is my desk!
One more photo! This is an aerial view of Duncan... all of the gray buildings are ours.
I've been there one month and I still get lost!!! ;)
Stay tuned for more pictures of The Walton project! :)
