2012- a year of weddings!!!!

Yuna's Christmas in Dayton

CHRISTMAS IN DAYTON!!

finally, my husband and I got to enjoy actually Christmas Midnight at Mass =)

since we both worked Christmas Eve... in different cities- we were fortunate enough to spend a few hours together to celebrate the reason we celebrate Christmas!

We attended a Christmas Concert & Midnight Mass, which is my FAVORITE thing to do!

then we came home to this little guy- waiting for Christmas Brunch!

My husband cooked brunch & supper!

WHAT A TREAT!

Yuna's Christmas in Virginia!

CHRISTMAS IN VIRGINIA & WASHINGTON D.C.!

My husband had meetings after meetings in Washington D.C. & Richmond, so I tagged along to spend a few days with my husband & our friends~!

We had a fantastic time in D.C. (I went one of the days & stayed in Richmond the rest)

We had a chance to see the the Library of Congress =) and the Capitol (that story coming up later)

We also had a chance to go back to The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, VA where we got married this year!

It's always a treat visiting The Jefferson, especially now- since we have SO MANY amazing memories!

It's safe to say- its my FAVORITE place in the entire world! (that and the Cathedral)

we also had a chance to attend Mass at the Sacred Heart Cathedral, where we saw Father Patrick, who married us! We also ran into a few friends =)

also in Richmond, we FINALLY had a chance to enjoy amazing dinner & conversations with our friends, the Gilmores!  They did an incredible job picking out the restaurant, Acacia Mid-town!

I remember when Acacia was located in Carytown- I loved it there...

and I love the new location and new menu!

They even had a "Lilly Pulitzer" Cocktail- obviously being my favorite designer, GUESS WHAT I ORDERED?

and take a look at THIS CROWD!!!!!

My best friend Melinda and I organized a Nutcracker Party!

okay- so I did the little stuff.. and her husband Victor cooked most of everything HAHAHA

I did attempt to bake.. but my brownie pops turned out strange...

my champaign truffles turned out way too sweet =(

Yes, we are a strange bunch...

Yes, we dress up for Dinner Parties

but... we have the best time in the world doing it!

Yuna's Christmas in Michigan

CHRISTMAS IN MICHIGAN!

During my time away from work, I headed up to Detroit, where my husband still had to work...

During his days at the station, I ended up spending some time with my best friend, Melissa, who was visiting her sister and sister's family in Grosse Point! (so happy Kristina lives there!!!)

We explores Grosse Point's Hill & Village areas & ate at the most delicious place, called The Hill! (appropriately named)!!!

Then, we did what we always do- SHOP!!!

It's always so good seeing my best friend from Middle School in the most random places! Ha!

Then we had a Family Christmas dinner which happened to be truly a multi-cultural event!!!!! We're calling it the United Nations Family Dinner!!!!

Thanks Kristina and Boch for dinner!!!! My husband and I had a wonderful time Chowing on the best Thai food I've had in a really long time!!! and what conversations!!!!! Lol! I love my Tucker family :)

Yuna's Christmas in Chicago

 CHRISTMAS IN CHICAGO!!!

My first trip to Chicago was absolutely fantastic! I fell in love with the windy city!!!!!

My little sister (from our sorority at the University of Virginia) and I stayed at the beautiful classic Palmer House (thanks hubby!!!)!

We did what girls do on their trip to Chicago- SHOPPING on N Michigan Avenue, dining at the beautiful Signature Room at a small table by the window overlooking Downtown Chicago & sightseeing in the RAIN!

We discovered ponchos at CVS, which made the windy rain much more bearable!

It was a good little/big time discovering a beautiful city!

Of course, I was lucky enough to spend some time with my high school from, Leah, from St. Catherine's School in Richmond!!!! Her mom, Debbie, was also in town visiting!!! The three of us had a great time in Old Town, which is just the cutest area in Chicago!!!!

What a wonderful way to spend the Holiday Season exploring a new city!!!!!

Happy Holidays!

BEHIND THE SCENE

DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS BLIZZARD 2012

My photographer and I headed out to Preble County, one of the hardest hit areas

The Miami Valley received anywhere from 6-10 inches of snow (more in some spots) and we were in the heart of it all.. Below is a picture I took of my photographer Bob Garlock.

You can see the snow/ice mix blowing SIDEWAYS from the wind gusts...

Needless to say- it was NOT pretty reporting out on the field, but it was fun!

Beavercreek OH

I often write about my BEHIND THE SCENES experience at WHIO TV as a Reporter & Anchor for the #1 CBS Affiliate in the Country (yes, Im very proud of that~!)

Today, I had the chance to see the "Behind the scenes" of what goes Behind the Scenes~!!!!

Our amazing Promotions Department is working on new Logos, Promotions, Commercials, Etc...

We're also working with local and national companies who are helping us shoot these amazing promos~!

What an experience watching these Pros at work!!!!

They used "RED" cameras (apparently the best in the movie industry?) and lots of neat gadgets

They were quite the daredevils, too!

See the Black SUV with the DP (Director of Photography) Kenny in the back?

Yep- the car rolls.. he shoots... not a joke!

Kudos to our entire Crew!

CUT~!!!!!!!

That's a WRAP~!

Christmas in DAYTON!
