Sleepy Head…

 

The past couple of days have been a little harder on me as far as the twitching goes. We still do not know why it happens, but at least these bad days are no where near as frequent. Hopefully these days will calm out and I will get back to doing well. I really want the energy to get back to taking some pictures. Now that I have a forum of people willing to give some good tips at popphoto.com I want to go attempt the pictures of the cactus again. I think I can start looking for some of the things to really make the image pop.

On really good news, Jenny and I feel like God is working on our situation. We still do not know what exactly He has in store for us, wish we did, but we can just tell He is working.

It has been a long time since I could tell you much other than I needed to be better at seeking Him… yet with so much up in the air with moving, work, and all it is exciting to feel like God is working.

Jenny said she feels like something big is around the corner, I agree. I believe when we find out what it is that it will make one heck of a testimony. Right now I am trying to enjoy what time I have with Sammy and Jenny and keep my focus straight.

I promised some more pictures of Sammy, so here is one of a little sleepy head.

Harsh Man…

 

So for some time I have been frequenting a photography forum where you have the ability to post pictures for appraisal. Sounded awesome, except that it seemed like only a few actually got suggestions or comments and almost everyone else was dismissed. At the same time I often looked at images being raved over and wondered why they were given a second glance.

I finally concluded that there must be a significant cultural difference and have since changed forums. I regrettably did not leave on the best terms as I let the forum know why I left… probably not the best choice.

 

I did post these before I left… was told they were not worth much but an attempt to be different… what do you think?

Finally A Day Off…

 

So I finally got some time off, and wow did I need it. I had a really rough week sales and emotionally. I am guessing it takes a while before the whole we had a baby thing calms down.

I need to get out and do some more photography and I am hoping I can do so tomorrow, but I wanted to share another from that air show.

I know that as far as actual image quality goes this one isn’t a money shot, but something really pulls me to it. It could just be my love for this plane. Hey, let me know what you think.

Le Sigh…

 

Ever had one of those times when you feel blue, but you don’t really have anything to peg it on? I guess I am there right now. Have not had much time to self lately with work and the baby. What time I have had, well no one is around of course and when I get on the game I play no one is on there either.

 

It is ok, just a little blah. I have not been feeling well either, which certainly makes a big difference. Sales at work have been abysmal as well. God is good though, if I could be half as faithful to Him as He is to me, we’d probably have the most awesome relationship ever.

I know it must be weird to hear a minister talk about struggling in that area, but we do. Everyone does from time to time, just need to kick my own butt and do something about it.

Anyway, I really did not log on to mope. Just wanted to share some more images from the air show.

Off…

 

Did you ever feel just a little off? I kind of do today. So I am sipping on an IBC and listening to some Toby Mac while I blog. Heh, lots of feel good stuff.

Jenny and I are considering moving back up to Tennessee. We are not sure yet. Still have a bit of praying to do. It just seems to make the most sense right now… It feels a little scary though, the idea of just jumping out there on faith, WITH a baby…

I don’t know, that’s just more intimidating than the idea that I just have to look after my self, or me and Jenny. It is also really hard to leave my family again.

 

Either way this is not near as easy a decision as moving down here was. I want to make sure we make the right decision for all of us.

 

I have enjoyed my time with my family… I missed them a lot when they moved to Texas. I really keep pulling for them to move up to TN with us… but they must do what God leads them to as well.

 

But seriously wouldn’t you move for this little guy?

Anyway, a blessed day to all, and keep us in your prayers if you will.

What A Bird…

 

So Samuel Elijah was dedicated at church today. Of course, I have no pictures as I was involved… So what I do have is pictures of the WWII air show that I went to today.

Jenny and Sammy were both taking a nap so I went alone. That was a weird change of pace. I haven't really done anything alone but work, for a long time. Still I had fun. It has always been a dream of mine to fly in a WWII era plane. That was a dream I did NOT get to realize today, and probably wont ever given the price!

I still had a blast pouring over the planes. Absolutely beautiful. Now, as I do not have a wide angle lens yet I did the best I could….

This was my absolute favorite; an aircraft carrier based dive bomber.

A little bugged…

 

I’ve been working my tail off the rest of this week trying to get my sales high enough to have a nice pay check. There is only so much you can do though.

The baby has almost constant tummy troubles and so we are worried about him. Jenny and I are facing some big decisions and aren't positive as to the best option.

On top of all of that, my twitching has gotten worse the last couple of days. It had been so much better that I was feeling pretty good about it, now I do not know why it is picking up again.

It is ok, I know God is moving and at work in my life, and for that I am very grateful. Therefore, I will hold on with hope and anticipation to see the God of Glory show Himself strong once again.

The following were taken outside the Aquarium… I knew I had to take some pictures as soon as we pulled into the parking lot.
