Weding bells wedding bells, Anders & Kat are married!

It was a lovely & sunny day in Demmark, and I was really looking forward to being there for Anders & Kat's wedding. Kat looked absolutely stunning in her dress (loved the feathers and the other purple details, so unlike any other dresses I have seen).

The day was filled on love, fun, speeches (oh Danish people LOVE their speeches!), & lovely-and-sometimes-funny Danish traditions - like cutting the groom's socks after the couple's waltz??? hehehehe. During diner, Anders stood up, went to the keayboard and started singing a love song her had written for Katharina. Needless to say he is a very talented musician. It was the best moment of the night - and worst nightmare for grooms-to-be that will now have to measure up to that performance :D

TILLYKKE Anders og Kat!

Flight number 123 to Denmark

No, I don't feel good about my carbon footprint when I fly all the way to Denmark for only 3 days - I have some work to do to offset my carbon footprint. But now that we have our private pilot, it's all so worth it :D

I always knew our little Tristan would do well!

Happy Birthday Nico :)

It was just too short, a hi and a good bye. They are so big already, and I kno wthey will be even bigger the next time I can make it back. Please STOP GROWING NOW Cal and Nico!!!! :)
On Sunday the kids sang in a choir
The smell of the orange trees. Too bad I could not capture that in my picture.
For Nico's birthday...believe it or not it was a close fight :D Brad - it's time to go back to the gym :D

Visiting Monica & the boys :)

Elisa and I went for a short (oh too short visit) to see Monica and her gorgeous boys. I had not met Ronan yet so it was way overdue! :)




1) Yeaaah. Again, I was NEVER meant to tan. Red all the way; 2) Mononica, Elisa & little Ronan; 3) Elisa & I, CA & NY reunited!; 4) Happy times :)

Baila Baila morena!

Oh such a sweet sweet thing it is to spend time with old friends. To get together some some nice food and drinks and talks, and just have an evening, simple, just full of joy and laughter. Catching up like no time has passed. How much I missed all of my friends:)

A weekend where I just danced my nights away! It had been way too long!

Love is in the air :)

Time to practice what I learned during my photo class! And what best but to find some random strangers on Craigslist for that? Both of these couples were looking for a photograph to take their engagement pictures, so here comes Super Zaudrey to the rescue :)

The first session with Andrea & Craig was definitely hard - it was the first really nice day of Spring and Central Park was PACKED with people. Probably not the best location for a shot that day, but I tried to make it work. The shot with Andrea & Michael was much more relaxed. We had such a blast....and guess what, they got me pistaccio gelato to thank me! hahaha that sounds like a deal to me :D

I started building a collection of pictures - I still need to redesign the page, but at least you can go and take a look at what I have been up to: http://www.audreysmit.com

I am hygging, you are hygging, we are all hygging!

One of the most important word in Danish = hygge. That means hanging out, chilling with the people you love, enjoying their company. Such a cool word that really discribes the Danish culture, love it. So, we few pictures of us "hygging" in New York City :)

Dear Sun

Dear Sun,
Thank you so much for visiting us last Sunday. I love to spend time with you in Central Park, it is always SO good to have you around....I just wished you'd stayed longer, you know? I mean, I don't mean to be pushy or anything, but why are you always in such a hurry to leave us?
Don't be a stranger, Sun!
Love always,
TheFrenchImport

Fuerza Bruta!

Another surprise for my birthday: Troels took me to this AMAZING show called "Fuerza Bruta". The whole thing was happening within the audience and we had to move around as the show evolved. From dancers performing in water and other flying in the air, to the beat of the music and all the people sreaming with joy.....it was just a HIT. Tickets are a bit on the pricier side, but it was definitely one of the coolest things I have seen in New York city!

Hurra Hurra Hurra!

Saturday was SO much fun :) Troels, Asbjorn and Ditte woke me up with the traditional Danish birthday song ("Med dejlig chokolade og kager til" being the only part I know really...go figure....oh, that and the "hurra hurra hurra" part!). Then off to eggs, English muffins and chocolate eggs I was :D Troels fixed breakfast for my birthday and it was oh-so-delicious. And see all those presents????? MY PRECIOUS. Mwahahahahahahahahah :D

Asbjorn, Ditte & Tristan visiting

On a sunny bright day

The sun is finally peaking out - and who know how long it's going to stay, so we jumped in the subway and went up to Central Park to throw the football & walk around the park - they were having a show with the seals in the zoo at Central Park. SUCH a nice time!

At the central park zoo

Troels looking at the seals....love the smile :)

Nice jazz band playing in Central Park

up up up we go!

Last Tuesday night we went rock-climbing at Chelsea Piers - and had the best time. The wall is sick there. There is a part where people climbink are like, on the ceiling! THey looked like tiny spiders going around. I stayed on the wall at 90 degrees, thank you very much. Hehe my first time, and Ranu's (one of Troels' clients), but we didn't do too bad at all!

Back to the brushes!

A glimpse at what I have been up to these days. So back to be back playing with paint! Sorry, the pics are a bit crappy, but it just feels good to have these up :)

I love myself soooo much

hahahahahahhaha smartass :D
