For Cryin out loud...let's have some fun



Just thinking tonight about how easy it is to get bogged down in all the biznass. What I mean is, take a second to realize what it is you're doing...and whether or not it's really making you happy. As of today, I'm getting to do something I really love to do, and hopefully it will continue to grow into more...BUT, the best part is that it is allowing me to really have fun. With my family. And what's more important than that? Money? Stuff? Etc? I'm sure those things would plus up any great family situation if managed with care, but what I've found in this first month of being out on my own as a photographer/business, is that the small things in life really are bringing me the biggest joy.

For instance, today...my 2 1/2 year old son held onto my neck so tightly that it left a mark. Not because he was scared (though he was), but because he was trusting me to help him learn to swim. It's a moment that I'll always remember and cherish, and I'm so thankful that God put me in a position to be able to say "what the heck, yeah, I'll be at every swim lesson this week...work can wait til midnight, but He's only gonna learn to swim once"

So, as a guy just trying to figure it all out myself, I'm just gonna continue to give it 150%, but to try and remember that sometimes you've just gotta jump off a wall or two and have a good time.

I was very thankful of The Blog Is Found for introducing me to the sport of Jowling...that is, until the next morning when I could barely move my neck.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Over the past month I've had a growing relationship that until recently felt like it was getting better and better. But something changed over the holidays and I realized it was time to have the DTR. We talked, and after a sleepless night of crying, remembering the good times, and talking about the future, my beard and I broke up. Today, I moved on. I'll forever miss my beard, but know that my family will be all the stronger because of its absence.
