Fingerprinting

In: Daily Life

11 May 2009

Last month I went to the offices of Colonial Life to follow up on a possible job lead my dad had initiated. They were interested in talking to me further about working with them on employee enrollment. The reason they gave me this opportunity was due to my Spanish abilities. Having someone who could speak [...]

Meredee and I went downtown Saturday to use her new camera and she even let me take some pictures of her. This is no small feat as she generally doesn’t like her pictures. But she let me that day and we got some nice shots. She also took a few of me in a cool [...]

Hippies

In: Culture

9 May 2009

I’ll admit it. In some ways, I’m a simple boy from the Midwest and am occasionally reminded of my cultural or worldly ignorance. In other ways I’m better traveled or “cultured” than others. It’s all relative I guess. But even though I’ve lived in South America, learned Spanish, and tried to understand the culture, there [...]

Congratulations to Meredee on getting her first DSLR camera! She had been contemplating what to do with her annual bonus check and even offered to put it toward paying bills. But I told her it should be used for something that she wanted and would enjoy because she had been so sacrificial with other money [...]

Together Forever

In: Life

6 May 2009

Meredee and I were married on January 16th of this year and it still surprises me that I’ve found someone who wants to be with me for the rest of my life. After leaving college, a DC internship, Argentina, and RMSP, I’ve become accustomed to goodbyes and returning to being alone. I remember traveling at [...]

I saw this video last month and would’ve started cheering out loud if Meredee hadn’t been sleeping. The man giving the speech is Daniel Hannan of Great Britain. He rips into Gordon Brown, right to his face mind you, at the G20 Summit. As only a Brit can do, he eloquently, yet forcefully reprimands Brown [...]

Missing Montana

In: RMSP

4 May 2009

You couldn’t pay me to go back to high school or college. While I had a great collegiate experience at ORU, when it was over, I was more than ready to be done and move on. The Rocky Mountain School of Photography, on the other hand, is a different story. If it weren’t for the [...]

Shortly after getting married, Meredee and I began going through The One Year Bible. We had been reading sporadically through other books of the Bible, but didn’t have a plan. This version allowed us to have a set daily reading schedule to follow in order to accomplish the goal of reading the entire Bible. For [...]

American Idol

In: Culture

3 May 2009

Never did I think I would become a fan of American Idol. I often despise pop culture and am not interested in keeping up with the lives of celebrities or what’s happening in other sectors that are altogether unimportant. Sure, I had watched some of the early episodes of a few seasons to see the [...]

Grants Pass

In: Daily Life

2 May 2009

Today Meredee and I took a drive 2 hours south to Grants Pass. I wanted to pay a special visit to one of our Senior Rep models and meet her mom as well. We’d had a great time doing her shoot the week before and got along very well. I felt it was worth taking [...]

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which one has overcome while trying to succeed. — Booker T. Washington
