I got some good news today.

I have now become a certified photographer through the company I work for!! YAY! I'm really pleased. I've been working very hard to complete the certification process, and have finally accomplished my goal. It feels good. Now I can say that I'm a certified photographer. Awesome. I'm proud.

And since we are on the subject of photography, I thought I would share. Recently I had the opportunity to take my brother's pictures. You can check out a couple of them on my website: www.perspectography.com or you can see all of them here: www.perspectography.printroom.com.

One more piece of exciting news for my blooming career in photography - I'm photographing a wedding next month!!! My very first wedding! Patty (college friend) and I will be working together as the photographers for this wedding. I'm really pleased to have this opportunity. It's fun watch all the opportunities unfold before my eyes. I feel very accomplished.

Last week Joel got the Wii Fit game for our Nintendo Wii. For those of you who do not know what the Wii Fit game is, it's a game that comes with a balance board that measures your weight, BMI, balance, etc. It keeps track of all your fitness information for you, and then allows you to play fitness games, yoga (and it instructs you as you do it), aerobics, and strengthening exercises. It's pretty exciting. I love it! So far Joel has lost 6 lbs from doing the Wii Fit game! No Joke.

My 10-year reunion is going to be in October. I have yet to decide if I want to attend. I go back and forth in my decision. Sometimes I do not want to go, because I do not care to see all the people that irritated me back in high school, but then on the other hand, I'm insanely curious to see what everyone is doing these days....sooo....I don't know. Maybe if I knew who exactly was going....and whether or not any of my good friends from high school were going...but on the other hand, for the most part, I still keep in touch with those good friends, so do I need to go to the reunion for that? I don't know. Hmmm....has anybody else gone to their reunion???

And one last thing, because I haven't shared any pictures in a while (or much of anything else)
Just thought I would share with you guys how much I enjoy being a dork.

Rudolfo Anaya, author of Bless Me, Ultima takes some time to share some of his thoughts with me. (He's from the same town that we moved away from recently)
