K & M

Yay! My sister Meg is getting married to an amazing guy. I took their pictures yesterday, and here is a video! It's late, so I won't elaborate.

Mind-blowing.

I love watching TED Talks. They're so thought provoking, and I'm pretty much addicted to them. But this one, you have got to see. A year ago, this idea would have seemed so incredibly futuristic to me. Like something out of a sci-fi movie. But all the super smart interfaces on phones lately make what you're about to see feel almost within reach. So get a load of this...

Boom!

I took a much needed day off today. My first real personal day from work in almost exactly 2 years if you don't count one or two sick days and the regular work holidays. Steve already had the day scheduled off because our babysitter had the day off, so it just seemed like a good time to take a break. We took Carter to the Living Planet Aquarium. I was a little worried he'd be too young, but he had just as much fun as we hoped he would. The entire time he was either a giggly, bouncy mess, or completely enthralled. He hasn't stopped talking about the eels since.



This boy had no problem reaching his hand in the water to pet a stingray, but when a huge turtle behind the glass came a little too close to his face, he jumped into my arms. Funny boy.



My favorite part of the entire day was when a huge grouper swam right past Carter's face and he squealed, "Ooooh hoo hoo hoo! [think Tigger laugh] Lookitduh biiiig fish! BOOM!"

Austin & Alissa

My brother is getting married in May, and I had the privilege of taking their engagement photos this evening. It was so cold, I couldn’t feel my fingers! I was wearing two coats and poor Alissa had short sleeves on. It was still fun. Here are a few of my favorites, and then a (poor quality) video of the rest. Check out Alissa’s cute foot tattoo in the first one, I love it!

I love you guys!
