Life Update

I realize this is a "no picture" post, but I really wanted to write something today and I have no pictures to post. I believe that is a first for me. :) Honestly, I've been photographing so much lately that my fingers hurt and my back. That camera is heavy to carry around every Saturday for like 8 to 10 hours nonstop. Plus the 2 sessions a week I'm averaging these days. Don't get me wrong, this is not me complaining though it's hard to tell. I'm just saying that by the time I get home the last thing I want to do is take pictures of Matt and I or really anything.

It's been very interesting working from home. I'm really proud of myself for consistantly getting up at 6:30 every morning. So many people tell me they would sleep in. I would probably have a problem with getting up so early if it weren't for the fact that matt makes so much noise in the kitchen when he cooks breakfast. It's really funny. My alarm clock is clanging pots and coffee grinders every morning. I guess there are worse things to wake up to. :) So, yeah, working from home is really cool. I get a lot done and I've found a new favorite website to help me along as I work. Check out http://www.pandora.com/. Basically this is a free radio website. You just type in a song or artist you like and it builds a radio station around your choice. Too cool. So you like every song you hear. I think it's better than satelite radio. It's also nice to have Kenah here with me for company. I stop frequently and give her pets. I've also been running with my neighbor in addition to my regular monday night soccer games. So hopefully I'll be a rock soon!

Ok I've got to jet. I have a bride coming by at 9am and need a shower. :)

This Morning

This morning I was siting on the couch watching the Today Show and editing away on the laptop. This is my usual morning routine. I know, you're jealous. Anyway, like I said, I was editing away and I here Kenah outside give me her "let me in bark". This is REAL annoying. Being the patient person I am, I waited 5 seconds before letting her in. I then decided this would be a great opportunity to share with everyone what she is like when I get the "let me in bark". While I snapped a few of her, I figured this was the perfect time to share the shots of the gallery wraps I had made and had promised in my previous post. Matt LOVED the one of the William Aiken House in Charleston. This is in our foyer. I was so excited that it went so nicely with the fun blue vases I bought at this cute shop in downtown G-Vegas last year. :) The sunflower was placed in the living room next to the back doors. We've been in the house for over a year and these are the first photographs I've had printed for the house.

I'm planning to open up a "Fine Art" gallery on my website, but I really want to compile some images from the fall on the parkway. Hopefully Matt and I can take a drive soon up there. There is a shot I've got in mind and I'm dying to get it.
