Favorite Jet Interior

I have found my favorite jet interior, to date. :)  This will change regularly, I'm sure. But isn't this classy! I love it!

Happy 1st Birthday, Raegan!

This weekend was our niece Raegan's 1st Birthday!!

Isn't she a doll?!? Love her!

 Prettiest flower!!

It's actually a gerber daisy w/another flower in the center! What a neat idea!

 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! :)

Cool Stuff Here... Ya Ready?!?

SO, Duncan is building a huge new hangar. It's a 10.5 million dollar project! We're doing this so that we can service even larger jets! AND, guess who they asked to do the interior design on the new facility... MEEE!!!!!! Can you believe it?!?! I am so excited! :) I have a meeting with the Architect tomorrow morning at 9! eeeekkkkkkk!!!! Here's an article on it if you want to read more

Dear Spring, we really love you.

I LOVE Spring. Everything about it makes my heart happy........the fun/cheery colors, new wardrobes, ice cream from Dairy Chef, blooming flowers, green grass, walks/runs with Wilson, ice melting on the lake, color on my toes, flip flops...the list goes on and on...

Happy Spring!

Sure to make you laugh!

Duncan!

My first week of work at Duncan was so fun and interesting!

This was a picture I took of one of the smaller jets that we recently completed. He's all complete and ready to fly home with his owner:)

Duncan is a large company. They employ around 1200 people in Lincoln! The hangar that you see above is one of 7 hangars we have to service planes in.

This week, myself and another designer from the design team will be meeting with 2 members from the Walton Family (Wal-Mart) to help them design their new jet!! I'm so excited about all of the interesting people I'll get to meet! So far, I have been so intrigued by this whole process, I can't wait to learn more:)
I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend!

New Accessory

Check out Wilson's new pet food holder. I ordered it online, and received it today. It's perfect!

I'm loving it, and I'm sure Wilson is too. ;)

Dogs!

This weekend was an exciting one for the dogs!! :) My mom and dad were dog-sitting Mark's two dogs (Berkley and Zoe). We played a lot of fetch! Watch silly Berkley (the little Yorkie) in the video below...

She doesn't let the big dogs intimidate her one bit, lol! And believe it or not, she did out run the big dogs and retrieved the ball once!! :)

Cutest Cupcakes!
