Three Years

2009-03-13T20:10:26Z

Though it's always rattling around in my brain to some degree, I just realized this morning that tomorrow will mark three years since my mom's brain aneurysm. I called my sister to see if she had anything planned for the day, but Mom answered in...

Lens Envy

2009-03-03T21:35:50Z

One of my benevolent co-workers overheard me lamenting the loss of my lens. He said he never has time to use his most awesomely amazing badass lens ever and offered to let me borrow it for a couple of weeks. After I passed out (which was awkwar...

Best. Valentine. Ever.

2009-02-17T14:55:40Z

I don't know how I ever got so lucky, but I'm sure glad that I did. My wonderful, gorgeous, intelligent, doting, amazing husband made this video for me as part of my Valentine's gift. Granted he did try to get embarassing pictures in there too,...

The Drama Queen

2009-02-04T14:59:33Z

Allie was crying Friday evening. Largely because I asked the girls to clean their room, which was just completely unfair of me. When I gently suggested many things were more unfair than that, she decided she was crying because she "ruins everythi...

Bridal Portraits

2008-10-05T04:05:52Z

I just got the DVD with all of my bridal portraits and I am amazed. Jennifer Nichols and her husband (http://www.jnicholsphoto.com/) did the shoot at the old cotton mill in McKinney, Texas. It was about 1,000 degrees, and the air was humid and ...

My Political Children

2008-09-18T18:51:47Z

The girls have picked up on some of the political conversations going on lately. My family is die hard super right wing republican. I'm barely a democrat which makes me a flaming liberal/communist in their books. I remember the first time I reali...

Insomnia Deux

2008-09-09T05:57:55Z

Another 14 minute hour gone. Along with half a beer and one cigarette. The surge of nicotine probably erased any drowsiness encouraged by the alcohol. I wish we hadn't packed the wine. I could use that warm fuzz brought about by a glass of shi...

First Day of School

2008-08-26T14:08:44Z

Avery started kindergarten yesterday. She was so excited about her big day that she nearly ran off to her classroom without so much as a goodbye hug. Allie was equally excited to start the first grade. She's disappointed that her boyfriend isn...

One Year Ago Today....

2008-08-11T21:05:56Z

....I got the following email in my Inbox. I'm glad I clicked on that third one down on the far left.... even if we were only an 88% match. I'm happy at least 98% of the time. The other 2% I'm just in shock that I found someone so amazing. Ha...
