Photographer on the Side

Have I mentioned that photography is a major hobby of mine? I would like to take a class and learn how to better use my fancy camera and new telephoto lens. Some of our best friends just got engaged and we went out and took pictures. We had a great time and I learned a lot about the camera.

Summer Fun Pictures

When we first moved in to our apartment we had some of our friends over to swim and hang out. I took random pics while playing games.







Brandon Lauren Matt and I took a little road trip to the lake house last weekend. Here are a few pics.

Finally on our way. We kept forgetting things and then we had to pee and then we were hungry. It took us forever to get on the road.


Yes Brandon was driving 60mph while smiling for the camera.
















So pretty and peaceful! This is about a minute before it started to pour down rain!!


Pouring down rain!!!! Of course Matt and Brandon are swimming in the lake during the thunderstorm. Too spooky for me.



There is a new water park in Mansfield. My family went on Sunday after church and had a great time! It's a smaller version of Hurricane Harbor in N. Arlington. I snapped some pics while we were there. Too bad Matt couldn't come. He was flying.

Just like Old Times

Matt and I have been married 2 and a half years this month! Thought I'd post random pics. I still love looking at them all the time.

I have been out of school for 2 and a half years this month! If you knew what a heartache 4 yrs of nursing school was for me you would know why I appreciate every day I have been out!!! Thank you Lord for being faithful and giving me a great job that I love!

In 2005 Lacie, Sara and I studying for a huge exam, as usual.

Now 2008. We never thought we'd get done. All of us are married (almost Sara!...), working and not studying at all! Life is good.

New Place

We love our new apartment! Here are some belated pics. Most of you have probably already seen them.

Still Waiting

Matt and I have lived in our new apartments for a month now and still NO INTERNET or Cable!! We are dying !! Thank heavens for the pool at our apartments. At least we can swim in the afternoons. I am only able to check my email at work. I have noticed how dependent I have become on cable and internet since we have had to take a break from it for a while. We are having to pay bills the old fashion way...though the mail!!!!!!!! (gasp!)

Long time no see!!!

I know I haven't be on in a while. We are finally moved into our new apartment! Much thanks to all the family and friends who helped us move! We love it. It is a night and day difference from our other 25 yr old apartment and we love being in Mansfield! We are still waiting on internet and cable. We don't know what to do with ourselves at home anymore. Our apartment has an awesome pool that I have been going to mulitple times a week. I have an ever so slight tan now (woohoo!) and enjoy being outside while I read.

Matt and I have been working out 5 days a week and are now on our 3rd week!! Ever since Matt started school he has been loosing weight from just being more active and now that we have incorporated working out into our schedule he has lost a lot! Everyone is starting to comment on how good he looks. 30 lbs really does make a big difference! I'll have you know I've lost 2 lbs but no one has noticed....how rude! (hehe!)

Matt has been uncharacteristicly stressed the past few days. This is due to the fact that an FAA Pilot will be coming out today and grading Matt on his flying including his taking offs, landings and taxing skills along the runway. He determins whether Matt gets his license today or not. It is not like Matt to be the stressed one and it's a little unnerving. We both prayed for a while last night about it and I hope everyone else will be praying for him as well!
