Today I went to the Vintage Bridal Show at the UCLA Ackerman Ballroom.  There were some great booth and vendors there.  Please enjoy some of the pictures from today. A special thanks to Perfect Wedding Design, Pink Cupcake Weddings, Wood Ranch Golf Club, lettemacarons, hellokismet, candybarcouture and Happy Fudge and dgp for doing such a wonderful job!

The Autry Center awarded the Maverick Prize this year to the Asian immigrants of Angel Island. Angel Island was the "Ellis Island" of the West and had over one million Asian immigrants trying to enter the US. Yet, the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, had many immigrants waiting years to enter, some left alone without friends and family. It was extremely heartwarming to hear some stories of these men and women who spent years of their lives without family. Here are some pictures from Wednesday's award ceremony.

I'm so happy with my birthday present Dave gave me: a bike lift and he even hung it on my wall when he was sick with the flu! Lisa came over for some dinner and brought her new puppy Emmy. Here are some pictures from the evening.

One of my dearest friends, Patricia just had her baby Donovan Danger Sweeney on 02.02.12, which happens to be my birthday as well! A week after Donovan's arrival, I went to visit her and see how Patricia is doing.  Donovan is the sweetest baby and did not cry once.  Just a few yawns and her trying to get her gaze right.  Patricia looked great.  She almost has her pre-body back and is in very good spirits. So happy for the Sweeney family!

I photographed Samantha and her family a little while ago, but have been slacking with the blogging, so here it Samantha and her cute family:)
