Say Cheese

I haven't told my wife yet, but I bought her a present that I think she is going to enjoy. Its a new camera. Ever since we had my boss come over and take pictures of Allie with his fancy DSLR camera, she has been wanting a new camera. Now, my boss says its not the camera, as much as it is the subject and the photographer. So with that in mind, I also bought her a book that shows you how to use the camera and how to start taking better pictures. Be on the lookout for some really great shots.(In time) I decided to get her the Canon G10. Its a prosumer camera that I was told can take some really great shots if you know how to use it. I think she is going to excel at this like everything else she does. Time will tell...

Sing, Sing, Sing


Sunday, February 21st, Veronica and I went to the Chris Tomlin concert with another couple from church. It was awesome!! (He's kinda short) He rocked the Municipal Auditorium. The floor was shaking from the bass. When I came in, I was expecting a more mellow type of concert because a lot of his songs on the radio sound more acoustic. I was definitely mistaken. The band sounded great but the drums sounded awesome! The energy in there was incredible. I was blown away with the performance and the music. The only bad part about it was we didn't bring any cameras. We had to resort to the blackberry cameras so you'll have to excuse the poor quality of these images. To this day, I have the song "Sing, Sing, Sing" in my head.


Here is a player I found on his website. You have to hear the drums on sing sing sing. Its my favorite song on the album.

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope everyone had a great day. I had the best Valentines ever this year. There are couple of reasons...

My daughter Allie... She makes everything.. every day so much more special and enjoyable. We are truly blessed with her. She is always smiling and enjoying life. I try to embody that same spirit she has.



Secondly... My husband. Adam makes me feel special. This year we agreed not to spend money buying each other gifts.. instead we would either "shop together" or not at all. I really like the idea because it takes the stress off of me of having to think of a gift he would like. I can now get him exactly what he wants (within budget it is... Dave Ramsey baby !! )

So.. this V-day was going to be a no-gift holiday. But.. to my surprise.. Adam "gave" me some "quality time" as a gift. To understand this, you would have to know about Gary Chapman's 5 Love Languages I think that book speaks mountains about a marriage and I would highly recommend it to any married couple. And for our friends that have children, they also have one geared towards children.

So.. I love you Adam. Thank you for being my husband, my partner, my friend, my support, and my dream come true... XOXOXO

I took my daddy's hair

Well... I haven't posted anything in a while. Adam has been posting away... about many things. As many of you know... I love to talk.. but for some reason.. I can't seem to "talk" often here... I have so little time these days.. They just fly by.



Well... Our daughter is growing like a weed. I got a digital photo album for my birthday and I spent a couple of hours looking at pictures of Allie. She has grown so much and it has only been 6 months... here are a couple of updated pictures... I get so many comments on her hair.. Allie always responds by saying.. My daddy loves me so much.. he gave me his... :) Thanks Honey... I knew she was a "Daddy's girl"!!!
