I spent the day in my favorite outfit…. Sweatpants , and a Grey Russell sweatshirt..Elena and I did allot of household chores all day.. thought it would be fun to recap The last year of our lives.. Funny to look back and see how our style has changed.. Actually it’s like a cool photo journal.. My friend alway’s says” Make Everyday A Masterpiece” I can’t agree with him more..
......
Our journey together begins.. This was the nicest day of the whole summer.. August 28, 2010.
...
LOL LOL..Pudster as a young buck. Elena was taking him for his first check up.. he was so little.. God I love him. He’s actually real good in the car. October, 2010
...
I took this photo of Elena In Rome at the Hassler Hotel.It sits on top of the Spanish Steps, and the view is fantastic, I highly recommend staying here once in your lifetime. My wife was mapping out our daily exploring threw the city as she did every day during our stay..
...
I was screwing around in the morning in Milan when my wife snapped this photo. The glasses I’m wearing are real..my eyes aren’t what the used to be..we were at the Hotel Baglioni. it was small and quaint. ‘ Lino’ was the concierge, who treated us like family.
...
LOL I remember taking this photo at a Museum in Milan which my wife dragged me too..I got hollered at for taking this photo of her by the security guard on duty..I love how the flooring is reflecting in her sun-glass lens. It gives her depth, in an artistic way.
...
I love this dress, She finished it with a Louis Vuitton scarf she tied around her neck, and a classic Ralph Lauren belt. I thought her eye make up came out great..
...
Me and the Pudster chilling out on a Sunday afternoon..He still sleeps between my legs, Puddy loves to be cozy.. look how little he was..
..
Elena taking a break in Rome. We walked so much every day it was awesome. Italians think nothing of walking 8 to 10 miles a day.. you should see the Italian females walk on cobble stone streets in high heels..
...
I thought this dish was a work of art.I found this little hole in the wall restaurant in Venice, I knew by the linens and mill work inside it was going to be good..Come to find out it was Michelin rated with 3 diamonds.Food was spectacular..
..
Pudster was really clumsy when he was at this age and now I know why, His hands and feet were too big for his little body. I think he was 14 or 15 weeks old in this photo. We had to get rid of that bed. He thought it was a girl bulldog.. He loved that damn bed.
...
My wife window shopping in Milan..I like the stripes on stripes . Also like the lighting in this shot. Her eyes are telling a story.Which one I’m not sure..
...
I purchased this leather jacket and scarf in Tuscany. It’s funny looking back seeing how my style continues to evolve as I mature and Grow as a man. I’m gonna distress this jacket soon
...
Elena took this photo in Venice, she loved the Italian Flags painted on the boat.. Go figure right!!
...
I remember taking this photo.. we were leaving Milan for Venice and she just finished packing.. We learned so much on how to travel by making mistakes on over packing. That’s why it’s important to make sure your wardrobe is interchangeable.. happy wife, Happy life
...
puddy rockin his new Ralph Lauren Flannel.. Not so little anymore.. I bought that shirt at the children’s Ralph Lauren store and had it customized to fit his shape..he’s already outgrown it..
...
Great photo of Elena and Pudster, I love when my wife wears a Bow-Tie, It’s something not every female can get away with.
...
I made my wife get up @ 445am and come to the gym with me.. I was going to do a blog on exercise, but never made it to the page. I wear allot of Nike and Under Armour. You can’t kill this stuff. It lasts forever. Elena insisted I post this today, 445am is not agood time of day for my wife. She got up and never complained because she knew it was important to me.. we came across this photo and both started laughing
...
LOL .More Pudster rockin Ralph Lauren. he actually enjoys dressing up.
...
just a random picture of me in my pajamas, I was writing a post for the blog.
...
This is a great picture.. It’s when i first started wearing a bandanna for a neck-tie. Something I would of never done a year ago. My confidence continues to grow as I mature, and I’m not as concerned what anybody else thinks as much anymore.. a real stepping stone in my journey.
..
This is a great Photo of Puddy after he got home from this check up from the vet. We took this shot last week sometime. He is as healthy as a horse. 62lbs and still growing.
Roger Daltry formed a band called “THE WHO” in 1964. he grabbed Pete Townsend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon 4 kids following they’re passion to play music. 100 million records sold later, this band is still getting it done!! “JOIN TOGETHER ” was released in 1972 and is one of my favorite songs they recorded. when you listen to Join Together today, sing this verse with Roger Daltry It goes something like this
When you hear this sound a- coming
hear the drummer drumming
won’t you join together with the band
Drop This Track and GET INSPIRED……
This blog will continue to be extremely meaningful over the years.
You are a beautiful couple.
In any good relationship there are ups and downs, but you will always have an honest account of your life together.
That’s all that matters. Hard work, honesty and a bit of fun thrown in. That’s what makes life worth living.
Enjoy! Jude
Ps…now I wish I was 20 hrs younger. Need some fashion ideas for the 50+ group…..hahaha
