If I Had A Superpower.

I've given much thought to this and it's official I would have Telekinesis. For those who don't know what Telekinesis is it's the ability to move or control things with one's mind. O yea I know what your thinking AWESOME right. Things I would do with this super awesome amazing power are as follows. Change the channel without moving my hand I know right what man wouldn't want to do that. Drive without using the steering wheel. Fix the antenna to get the channel I want. Type without hitting keys. Now that I think about it tripping people who make me mad. A stick would do most of these things I guess I'll settle with that.

It's Been A Long Time

So much has happened since last time I was posting on a regular basis. Mariah and I are living on the south side of Des Moines this is our third apartment since moving back from Colorado and it's the smallest but the most home like. I don't know how to explain it just that it feels like a home when you walk in the door. I still work at McDonalds but I'm getting ready to replace that as my full time job. Mariah and I are lucky to work together at another retail store. For the most part they give us the same hours which is great. We work there about 15-20 hours a week and a little less right now. As for photography it's going someplace I'm still not sure where but it's moving. I'm still trying to figure out why God gave me these sets of skills and don't think I will know why for a long time. My best theory is the way photography school changed the how I think. I know God will use that some place I just don't know when and how. I did do a couple of weddings last summer and learned a ton about how to handle customers and have changed the way I thought I would do business by far. Mariah has two semesters left in nursing college and I can't wait for it to be done. Having a schedule thats not just little blips but big chunks will make having one car a little easier. A second car is on our list of things we need to do once she can have a full time job but not at the top. We got a second dog this fall Philip is a 3 pound poodle and scared of me unless I'm the only one home. Talk to you guys later.

Our New Dog

Have I shown you all mt tank its been going now for about 6 months its awsome we have 2 clowns 1 shrimp 1 wrasse lots of crabs and snails.

Wait isnt that what you do on a PC?

Waiting...

Im just sitting here waiting for Mariah to get off work Im not really sure what time she gets off but it should be some thing like around 11:15 than we will go home and go to sleep tea and by tea I mean yes! So far I have done two sinor photo shoots with three more to go.. I dont like that name um how about Mile Marker Photos or Chapter Shoots u know because its the end of one chapter the beginning of another or Legecy Photo Shoots or Memory or Remembrence Photos tell me what you think and any other ideas. I like the whole chapter idea because I could carry that over to every thing like baby photos and kids and sinors and engagment and weddings there all chapters in ones life.
I think best and most creative when theres some good worship music on I think its because of the creative god given part of the song writer is in the music I have come up with the best ideas during united or desperations songs if only i could remeber them all. Im about to fall asleep.

Its just such a wonderful eavining wish Mariah would get out of class early so I could enjoy it with her.

Right now Mariah and I are at jester park at saylorville lake around a fire that im pretty sure we are not supposed to have. So I have a escape plan all mocked up here it is right now we are down o about 1000 feet from the car to the left we have trees below we have long grass

this just in we have a helicopter coming our way it may be the head park ranger o nope its too far off

to the right we have more trees so if someone maybe a park ranger mariah and i are going down to the long grass than off to the left side were there trees in the short grass than up to the car where the keys are on top of the truck and away we go with or without craig and kathy hmmm we will see what happens.

The Final Plant Up-date

Well its been like a month now since I last told you about my plant. Well now Im sorry to have to tell you this but its dead long gone forever Im afraid but I still have a cool pot.

Its weird all the college students left McDonalds 2 weeks ago and all but a fellow photo student Jay and I are back for there portfolio class - I kinda miss it, the whole school thing that is. Did I ever tell you all about the link on the sidebar to my portfolio website hopefully it wont be there for long because I want to update the site and make it a fully functioning site for my photo business. Well time to go to church talk to you all later.

Mariah and i are at a baseball game tonight with my parents and others somewhat less worthy of mentioning except brendon who has spilled cheese salsa and pop i think on his pants. So far we are losing I will let u know when its over. Nothing much else is going on with mariah and i. Im not sure what every one else thinks about baseball but i think its kinda boring. well I will post a little more later due to the above.

Yea if I was to have a interwiew with USA Today I would say the same thing about myself to.

Chilling in CC with my peeps yo. Now if you look really close maybe even click on the photo but there is my Mom and what is that next to her a teddy bear! Why o why does my mother have teddy bear sitting next to her dont tell anybody because this is top secret! She is doing some under-cover research for CC here by getting into the kids mindset wish her luck.
