Out with the OLD and in with the NEW

Okay, so it's been a while friends, and I don't expect you all to be eagerly waiting my newest post but here it is anyway! A lot has happened since my last post. I graduated in April:

Then Tyler and I embarked on many travels around the United States with friends and family!





we hit new mexico vegas texas colorado california arizona, and new york! I may be even missing a few states...









And then we moved home! Being back in Hawaii has been very challenging to say the least however, we have been blessed with gorgeous sights, beautiful weather, and wonderful family! We even bough ourselves an early christmas present! Two surfboards-hopefully we will get nice and tan, and of course fit! We do love being home and we are both nervous yet excited to start the new chapter of our lives. GOOD BYE PROVO and to our friends, COME VISIT!

Class of 2011

I'm graduating from Brigham Young University Provo with a Bachelors in Fine Arts & Communications this Friday! I couldn't be more happier. Thank you to everyone who helped me get to where I am now. :) Can't Wait.

So I have been working my butt off on my website: alanayates.com! When you go there you won't believe me! haha :) But believe it or not, html and css codes are a ton of work! Thanks to my friends at Marketecture I have been able to get my website up and running. It is indeed a work in progress but nonetheless it has got me a lot of photography gigs thus far! Check it out when you can. I will be posting my latest photoshoots and so forth!

Girls Night Out!

A bunch of us decided to have girls night out while our husbands watched the fight!! Thanks Amber for having us over and teaching us how to weave lauhala!!

Our New Place!

So last December, our contract at our old apartment ended. Tyler and I really wanted to move into something bigger and cheaper! We found a cute little home just a few blocks west of our other place. It is one bedroom bigger and a whole lot cheaper! With a few upgrades and a lot of paint, it looks completely different! I didn't take too many 'before pics', but here are a ton of 'after' pics!! (If you click on the photos they will enlarge)

Our dining table! I'm so proud of it :) Tyler and I painted it white!

We also painted this bed...it was super nasty--graffiti everywhere.

Special thanks to Taylor, The Nields, The Soons, Cory Paxton, and Kahi for helping us!
