We got hops!

Below is an excerpt of an interview we recently did with Vanity Fair Magazine:

VF: There are a lot of misconceptions about you two. If people take away one thing about the Millard family, what do you want it to be?

LM: Easy. Hang time.

VF: Hang time?

RM: She's talking pure, unbridaled vertical leap. The kind of lift-off that Kobe would be jealous of. That's what we bring to the table.

LM: Anytime, any place. We got hops! Booyah!

(Rich and Liz high-five)

VF: I've heard stories about your legendary leaping ability but I never dreamed I would be able to witness it. Would you do us the honor of demonstrating this God-given gift?

LM: We thought you'd never ask.

Exhibit A - Liz Millard

Exhibit B - Rich Millard

Alright, spoiler alert. Vanity Fair hasn't interviewed us about our vertical leap yet, but with hops like these, the sky is the limit.

Palm Springs Anniversary Adventure

WOW! We've been married for a year? One whole year of wedded bliss! It's crazy how fast time flies by! Needless to say, this past year has been absolutely amazing--more than we could have ever hoped and prayed for.

To celebrate our first anniversary, we decided to get away for the weekend and head to Palm Springs. The sun was shining, the weather outside couldn't have been better (not too hot, not too cold) and then... Lizzy came down with a terrible head cold. Talk about timing! Despite her being sick, Liz got out of bed, threw some clothes in a suitcase and jumped in the car ready for an adventure.

A few hours later... hello Palm Springs! We spent the weekend at the Movie Colony Hotel, which is a cool little hotel just a short walk away from downtown. Lizzy drank lots of tea while Rich enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi. We caught a flick, indulged in lots of yummy food (including an amazing brunch at Cheeky's) and reminisced about the past year. 

It was definitely an amazing anniversary getaway, and we're fully convinced that there will be plenty more Palm Spring weekends in our future (and of course, years of wedded bliss).

Our Trip to Venice... Beach that is!

Since the weather has started to warm up again, we recently decided to pull out our beach cruisers and greet spring with a little bike adventure to the Venice Boardwalk.

After cruising the boardwalk for a little while, we decided to pull over, grab a seat, and grub down on some yummy turkey sandwiches as we watched the boats sail by.

We then wandered the boardwalk, taking in all the oddities that make Venice Beach world famous.

After Lizzy finished her Medical Marijuana evaluation (jk), we decided it was time to head back to our bikes and start making our way home.

On our way back to the car, we decided to take a quick detour to one of our favorite neighborhoods in all of Los Angeles. The Venice Canals.

Yeah, I don't think we'd be opposed to living there someday. But for now, we're perfectly happy heading over the bridge and back to our cozy little place in Culver City.

We have great friends. If you don't believe us, take a look for yourself...

Lizzy wants a dog

I think we can guess who is going to be picking up the poops in our house!

Rich's Birthday Celebration Part Deux

A couple weekends ago we went over to Rich's parents house to see the fam and celebrate his birthday.  It was raining outside so we spent some quality time indoors by the fire, watched a movie, opened presents and ate yummy cake. Rich and Scott managed to have a photoshoot with Mountain Dew, which always makes for a good time.

Rich's birthday celebration part deux was a great time had by all. It would have been a perfect day if Kyle could have made it, but he was out keeping things straight on the streets. We missed you Kdoe! -Riz and Lich

From Flea to Home

During our recent trip to the flea market we found some pretty awesome plants that now add a splash of life to our abode.  We met Kit, fell in love with his creations, and brought our new friends from flea to home!

These little guys will have to hold us over until we can buy a home of our own and fashion our green thumbs in a garden outside.
