Sassy Pants | part 1

The Jacobus Duo — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 16:59:09 +0000

Somethings been missing. Something we feel would better define the Jacobus Duo style. Jared and I sat for hours trying to perfect our new action called Sassy Pants. Our style isn’t drastic Photoshop editing. Its subtle, simple and chic. Which in turn, Sassy Pants was the perfect name.

The photo on the left displays what comes Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC). The photo on the right displays Sassy Pants. I would love to hear your thoughts and comments!

We are so excited to start using Sassy Pants on a regular basis!! It gives the images exactly what we feel it should!

Praise you in this storm

The Jacobus Duo — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 13:36:09 +0000

I tossed one end of the blanket up into the air while keeping a tight grasp on the end closest to me. I let the blanket gently fall back down to earth to create a soft and itch-free laying spot for me on the grass. I kicked off my sandals, hopped onto the blanket and fell onto my back tucking my fore arms under my head for pillow support. Glancing up into the sky I watched as the storm moved closer in. From my expertise in predicting the weather it was about 10 minutes from opening the flood gates onto me. While laying under the billowing gray clouds my mind started to jump from thought to thought. I thought of how lucky I was to have over-come my fear of storms so I could now fully embrace the feeling of laying in the grass watching it roll in. I thought of how lucky I was to have a husband who is always with me in everything I do and go through. I thought of my family and how things don’t always work out how you expect them to…but its okay. I thought of the wonderful times Ive been experiencing with friends this summer at the pool. But most importantly I thought of love.

Jared hopped off the swing that was hanging from the oak tree. What a crafty husband I have. I love the country styled swing he built for me. With a beverage to relax him from the day in one hand he supported his body weight with the other to plop down next to me on the blanket. Right there. In that moment. Was perfection. I lifted my head to his thigh for better support and we both gazed up into the on coming-thunder baring-storm. We glanced at each other with little smirks and both commented on how beautiful this moment was. We talked about our future together and all the goals in life we both wanted to accomplish. We joked about the day and how we accidentally had just walked 4 miles by getting lost in our new neighborhood. Then comes Dash. Dash was jealous that his mommy and daddy were having a moment of time with just each other to cuddle with. He nudged himself as close as he could into the cracks between us afraid of being left out. Yes Dash, we see you there. We started laughing some more when I began feeling little drops of rain on my forehead. We hopped up quickly and looked out into the wall of rain that was roaring our way. Gathering up our blankets and tossing them into the porch the rain fell down harder. This time it didn’t feel like sprinkles it felt like little BB pellets. We hurried ourselves to make it under some shelter before we got too wet. And right at that moment we stopped. And kissed in the rain….

Memorial Night Fun!!

The Jacobus Duo — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 17:00:23 +0000

The sun was out, clouds were scarce and the wind was blowing a perfect 5mph. “Lets make a home made drive in movie tonight!”, I casually mentioned to Jared over a giant plate of Mexican cuisine. In agreement he texted his brother and I texted the girls. We got our family/gang together for a VERY impromptu cookout and movie night. As Jared was setting up the projector on the outside of the house, Doug was char-grillin’ us up some burgers. And boy do I mean CHAR-GRILLED!!! We all grabbed a burger and a beverage and sprawled out on the blankets and lawn chairs.

Stranger than Fiction was the film of choice and boy was it a good choice. We all sat there laughing and poking fun and just simply enjoying life outside in the country. I had a moment of excitement roll through me as I thought about how important it is to spend fun quality time with your family. Away from work, away from facebook and away from general “life”. We were livin’ and it was great. The Jacobus clan never fails to make fun memories with each other and it was great to add this to the memory bank. If you find that I don’t update as much, or you don’t find me on facebook as much, its because I’m out livin’ life how it is meant to be lived. Free, fun and in love!

The beautiful sunset we got to enjoy before the movie:
