Booze and Difference of Opinion

Why is it that booze makes one feel so strongly about things?? I am photographing my first wedding in May.......in Alabama. I want to leave the kids home and Kris does not. Why is it so difficult?? So I guess we are taking the kids with us. It will sure be an interesting trip with a 4 year old, a 7 month old and mom/dad in the car. The upside is that we should get lots of great photos of the kids at the beach to share with all!!

Whats New With Me???

Well let me tell you. First off, I was able to take my first series of engagement photos this last fall! It was for one of Kris' good friends and it was awesome!! Mikki, Dan, and I had so much fun and I think we were able to capture some great moments. They even used one of my photos for their christmas card this year!! Here are a couple of photos for your enjoyment:






The first one is the christmas card shot!! Then in November I was asked to photograph my first wedding!! Can you friggin believe it?!?!?! I am so excited and it is something that I never, NEVER thought I would do. I am a bit nervous but I am sure that I will be able to do a great job.

Also, I am fat. Seriously. I mean it. I was on my way to being in shape, but then a hernia came along and that put a stop to that. I was in a good groove, was building muscle like crazy and overall feeling good. Once the hernia came along I pretty much had to stop lifting so that I wouldn't make it worse. Yes, yes I ,know that I could have kept up the cardio, but I hate cardio. But that is one of my goals for the new year, to do more cardio and drop some serious weight. I had surgery last week on Thursday and now I am not "allowed" to lift more than 15lbs until February 9th (MY BIRTHDAY!!!) so I am starting some cardio on Monday and working my way up from there. I am looking to go from 265 (uuuggghhhh) to 210 by July when we go on vacation. I am pretty positive about this because Kris and I are both committed to getting healthy. So here starts my journey to becoming a "professional" photographer who gets paid for his work, to becoming less of a human (size wise), and to be the best husband-father-coworker-son-grandson-nephew and person that I can be!!

Till next time.......

And I'm Back!

WOW!! It has been such a long time since the ol blog was up that I almost forgot to post that I am back!! After a long year of not much blogging I am hoping to get back into it in 2010.

2009 was a rotten bitch filled with lots of ups and downs. On the up side Kris and I now have child #2. His name is Cooper and is just damn cute. He came to us in September. Most of the things that went wrong in 09 were work related. My job sucks. No wait, I actually love the job I do.......just not the place I do it at! With that being said the hunt has been on for about 3 solid months now. I have applied many places and been to a few interviews. I believe I am on 2 hiring lists that are good for 1 year so who knows what will happen.

So it 2010 I am hoping for a much more "normal" year with more highlights than low lights!!

More to come at a later date!

P.S. I just saw that I only did 13 posts in 09......Does that lucky number tell you how my year went?!?!?!
