Matt and Ashley Faus

I’ve been too busy to post, but the season is in full swing! Matt and I are hosting family, decorating, shopping, cleaning and cooking in preparation for our first Christmas as husband and wife!
I was so excited to pull out all of the Christmas ornaments this year! Matt and I decided to do a real [...]

Matt and I just conquered our first Thanksgiving as a married couple! My friend Brittany joined us for the week, and we had a great time.
We started the week with a drive to Newman, CA, to see Brittany’s show. She tours with a children’s theatre, directing and acting in this season’s show, “The Princess and [...]

Due to some unfortunate and extenuating circumstances for my co-worker, he was unable to attend the International Solar Show 2008 in San Diego last week. Since I’m the only other person heavily involved in multiple aspects of the day-to-day operations, my boss decided that it would be beneficial for me to attend the trade show. [...]

I turned 23 this past week…. I know, I’m old!! I had a great birthday with my husband and friends. We went to Bible study, and our hosts gave me a card, balloon and German chocolate cake. We shared the cake, and it was wonderful!

One of my girlfriends announced her pregnancy!! She and her husband have been trying for a while, and they were able to hear the [...]

cre·a·tiv·i·ty - the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination.
Let’s focus on “the ability to transcend traditional patterns”.  The fact that you’ve never gone to a movie where there were live actors performing the same show in [...]

Matt and I went to see “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” last night. It was the late-night feature showing at the theatre across the street from Microsoft. It was an experience, to say the least…
As we walked into the theatre, we expected to see previews. Instead, we saw all these people dressed in costumes, apparently [...]
