Too be young again...

My step kids are visiting us for a few weeks (Ryan-16, Jenacca-15). Gosh, that sounds strange...step kids. Anyhow, Jenacca graciously agreed to help as I continue my learning efforts with my camera. She gets a bunch of new pictures for her myspace profile and I get to try out different settings with a model that doesn't try and lick me in between pictures. The licking model of course being Rahja. Rahja is a great model but Jenacca takes direction much better. Her pretty face helps the pictures as well.

Having Jenacca and Ryan visit is always a trip down memory lane for me...back to the days of sleeping for 12-14 hours, eating nothing but junk and not paying the consequences and of course endless hours on the phone. I guess somethings never change.

No more big events

For the last year I spent most of my time thinking about and planning my wedding and honeymoon. The wedding has come and gone...what a blur...and now the honeymoon as well. What on earth will I do with my time?! Jet lag has finally subsided and I am sleeping normal hours now. It is amazing how the older you get sleep is such a precious commodity. Anyhow, Keven and I were finally able to download all of our pictures to a hard drive. I didn't want to start the editing process until I knew we had a back up. With my luck I would sneeze, hit the wrong button and poof they would be gone. I am no where near finished organizing them. Since we used multiple memory cards we ended up with two pictures for each number (at least 1 through 600). So basically what was nice and neat and in order by day became a jumbled mess. In the meantime, while I unjumble, I posted a couple so you could see the water. I hope the blue conveys. The rock is the Blue Grotto and the boat is docked in the Blue Lagoon. They really want to make sure you know what color things are. I also posted a picture Keven took of me our last night in Athens. Mainly because it is the only one of me without a sweaty ponytail and sunglasses. More to come...eventually.

Keven and I have returned from our honeymoon. All total we spent about 30 hours on a plane. With all that we saw and did it was well worth it. We took just over 2,000 pictures...a little trigger happy with the camera. I have a bit of editing to do but hope to share some by the end of the week.
