Erin's coming home!

Erin's been in Boston all week, and I'm way excited because she comes home tomorrow! Yay! Gracie and I both miss her :) Gracie is currently sitting on my lap purring. If you didn't know, Gracie is our cat :)

She'll be home for like 15 hours and then we'll hop a plane to San Fran for Brittany & Mike's wedding and then Scott & Bekah's engagement...I love SF!

A great way to blow $500

So a few days ago, my cell phone started acting strange, like when folks would call me the phone would connect, but I couldn't hear them. Unless I put them on speakerphone - kind of strange. So anyway, I call up Cingular today finally and they say oh your phone's defective, we'll send a new one out to you straight away.

I'm like "Sweet!" and then they connect me to some other tech guy and he has me check some things and it turns out they've got this moisture sensor on the inside of the phone that turns red when it is exposed to moisture. Guess what color mine is? Red. Guess what color voids the warranty? Red. Bummer. Apparently being in abnormally humid conditions can cause this sensor to turn red.

I'm so bummed out, but I'm not giving up. I stinkin' love my phone, it's so great because it's small and compact, yet it runs Windows mobile and syncs with all my e-mail and calendar automatically so I know what's going on, all the time.

Does anyone else think this is coincidental that my phone breaks the day before the iPhone comes out? Hmmm. Hopefully I'll be able to fix this darned thing :)

Kelly & Flip: Engagement

The other day I went up to Laguna Beach to hang out with Kelly and Flip, and I was going through editing their pictures tonight, and I just had to share some with you all! They are SUCH a cute and fun couple - looking at their pictures makes me just want to call them up and hang out with them!

Kelly and Flip love Wahoos and Rainbow sandals. What more could I ask for? Seriously though, these two are awesome people, and I just love how they look at each other - can't you just tell that they are so darn ready to get married!??

Thanks you two for such a fun morning - I can't wait for your wedding!!! If you're a friend of Kelly or Flip, hit them up for the link to view all their images, there are seriously so many that I just love!

First, crank up your speakers. Then:

We're out!

Erin and I are heading out to beautiful Palm Springs for the weekend, leaving here in a few minutes! I'm so excited, not only because I love Palm Springs, but because we are celebrating our 1 year anniversary! Wahoo!

I can't believe it's been a year already, seriously. We've had so much fun, and learned so much, that the time has positively flown by. I've got the best wife in the whole world. And if you think your wife's better, well, then you're wrong ;)

We're going to be taking part in the annual marriage retreat as well, this weekend, that our church, The Rock Church, does every year. We're so amped that the retreat falls on our one year anniversary. I can't think of a better way to spend our anniversary weekend than learning about how to have a better marriage, and spending time with couples who've done this a lot longer than us! It's going to ROCK! (no pun intended).

I'm sure there will be lots of silly pictures from the weekend, I'll post some up when we get back...

PS: We're staying at the La Quinta Resort, so if you want to send us some sweet room service or massages, you're welcome to. :)

PUG!

I just found this picture on the Pictage website - from over a year ago! This was at a Pictage Users Group (PUG) meeting, that occurs every month that all us Pictage photographers in San Diego go to, hang out, and talk about photography, and such. Really, a cool time. Can you spot me?

You may recognize some of the other folks in the picture - Bronson and Jared of Bauman Photography are in the front (I went to college with Bronson. He has crazy hair).

I'm getting ready for a crazy weekend - I leave in a few minutes to go shoot Alesha & Lane's wedding here in San Diego, in Mission Bay. Then I'll go almost directly from their wedding to the airport to catch a flight to Phoenix, Arizona to shoot Matt & Brynn's wedding in Flagstaff tomorrow! This is going to be a fun weekend - I love both these couples so much, so I'm really excited to hang out with them.

Erin's coming with to both of these weddings, like usual, but this time she's going to be shooting alongside me, which is going to be super cool! She shot a bunch at Rachel & Chad's wedding in Wisconsin, and her images were stunning! She is dang talented, and has a great eye. Plus, she's my smokin' hot wife!
