I am blessed!

I know I have said it many times but I can't say it enough. I am extremely blessed! This summer I have been around some of the coolest people ever. It is such a blessing to constantly be surrounded by couples who are so in love that it spills over and fills the hearts of those around them. I love my job.

I was asked to speak to the South Padre Island Rotary Club last week and I would like to thank them for their hospitality and interest in photography. I had a great time and would be honored to go back again. The questions that I received have led me to consider doing a workshop for local enthusiasts. Check back for details.

As I mentioned yesterday the bun(Hannah)is still cooking in the oven(Page) and everything seems to be going just fine. I have to say that there is nothing like someones first unborn child to keep them on their knees. In that regard I have to thank little Hannah because my relationship with God has strengthened just because I have been talking to Him more consistently. I think we tend to forget how powerful and helpful prayer is to us. Not in the sense of getting things that we ask for, but in the fact that an open line of communication gives us a better sense of who we are, where we are in our lives, and a real peace that only comes when talking to the Almighty.

One only needs to watch the news for just a few moments to understand how blessed each and every one of us is. I will continue to be thankful for all of the undeserved grace that is showered on me and my family every day.

A Great Summer So Far!

So far we have had a very busy but very good summer. The only thing that has suffered is the blog. Because of my crazy schedule I have neglected my blog and I have been hearing about it from friends, family and clients so..... sorry guys. I will try and do better.
Quick update:
Page and I had another doctor's visit and little Hannah seems to be on track in her development. The other thing that is on track is the home improvements. The pink color that eminates from Hanna's future bedroom is nearly blinding and the final touches around the rest of the house are getting taken care of. God bless.

House Renevation = Headaches and Heartaches

Page and I have spent the last few month trying to renovate our home (which is over 100 years old). In February we were all pumped being on a high from watching some of our favorite programing on HGTV and the DIY network. Now that we are in to our fourth month of fixing and have been without a kitchen for three weeks our excitement has turned in to exhaustion.
Our normally clean house is constantly covered in sheet rock dust with a wonderful hint of paint fumes. Those of you who know me well know my weakness for fast food but I have to say that even I am growing tired of takeout.

As always there is light at the end of the tunnel. We hope to be done in the next three weeks and expect it will be done four weeks after that (inside joke for those of you who have done this kind of project before.) God bless.

Texas State Surfing Championships

There will be thousands of people headed to the beach this weekend due to the Memorial Day holiday. If you are one of those thousands and are looking for something different to do, you can head to Isla Blaca Park where the Texas State Surfing Championships will be going on Saturday and Sunday. The TGSA competions are always a lot of fun and showcase a lot of talent.

The first heats will be in the water at 7:30am.

It's a girl!!!!

Well........................

It looks like I am going to have my hands full and Page is finally going to have a full time shopping buddy. We are super stoked to announce that we are having a girl!!! Time to go pick out what shade of pink is going on the walls.

Everyone has been asking whether I wanted a boy or a girl. My response has been "It doesn't matter... He or she is going to be a surfer either way."

"Wedding in a Week" wrap up

Needless to say, the "Wedding in a Week" was one of the coolest weddings we have had so far. Click here to see how Lisa and Stephen's fantastic week ended.
