We survived…and an update
Yes, we’re still alive! We actually did come back from our California trip….Unfortunately for us, our server hosting provider which hosts photosunscripted.com (among other things) accidentally wiped our server. It really couldn’t have happened at a worse time…but when is it a good time, right? Trevor and I spent hours in the motor home moving the site to backup servers. Not easy when your only Internet access is a flaky wifi hotspot. It’s been a challenging week since we returned, but we’re working through this and we couldn’t ask for better clients. No client data was lost as we do not store any event photos on the remote server. We are moving data around and rebuilding from backups which has been an enormous and tedious effort. You may notice minor issues with our sites over the next couple weeks as we settle into our new data center home.
On the bright side, we have some exciting weddings and events to post soon! I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer!
From our California camping trip….Every year, it’s a Hawthorn tradition to “camp” in southern California off the beach. Whenever I tell people that I’m going camping, they look at me in disbelief. It’s not what most people have in mind because we actually do have showers and a camp store that sells coffee. We do, however, sleep in tents and I don’t wear makeup for a week. =)
A nice flight on our favorite airline, Jetblue!

Who needs magazines to read when you have Jerry Ghionis’ picpockets??

Who needs McDonald’s when you have In-n-Out?


This is probably the 11th time the table was moved.

Working on an album. Kyle was there to cheer me on!

Ahh….making some calls after finding out about our server. Not fun.

Good old camp showers! There are always some interesting finds in there!

1 day in the sun will do it for ya! We call him “Powder”.

We spent half the day at Panera working on our server problem…until we got the stares.


You could say that she was really into this book.

My self-portrait on the beach. You can only see my freckles in the summer.

Dawn, you left your message on our old server and it didn’t make the database migration to the new one so it was lost. I’m sorry!
Post again so I don’t feel so bad.

My freckles are not nearly so adorable, I feel like CA is aging me and making me tan. Not many things I dislike more than a tan…except maybe chair covers.
