(Wednesday, April 7, 2010 7:06pm)As I wrap up my first official trip to Maui, I am sitting here in coach typing up my latest journal entry. (Obviously, it will be posted later!) Shayleigh is sitting next to me in the bulkhead (gotta love being on standby sometimes!), and Luke is two rows ahead of us in first class - his second experience in the ( Read more... )

Hopefully? Last time it didn't work out too well. I waited at Interisland till about 430 until I finally gave up. This time? The loads look very very good ( Read more... )

I'm getting SO annoyed that I can't find a photographer to do our family portraits. I want something edgy and fun, with a photographer who will be able to put my girls' personalities on display. So far, everything I see is in San Diego. ARG!

Suicide pilot a hero?

This guy is a hero?! I think NOT!!! Joseph Stack is no better than the foreign terrorists we fear daily who are flying planes into buildings. If you want to make a difference in this country, do it the LEGAL and MORAL way - not "making a statement" by killing government employees and destroying the buildings that they ( Read more... )

This is a post I have been wanting to write for a long time, and I am finally getting around to it. Or I guess I could say I'm finally getting around to starting it. I am not sure I would ever be able to complete the entry due to its nature, but let's get started just for fun ( Read more... )

Shortly after my last (not-so-happy) journal entry, I found that I was seated in first class on the flight home. Totally sweet.

I was able to choose ( Read more... )

I haven't had many chances to try out my new equipment since it has been so ugly outside, but I did grab a few shots indoors. I feel like I won't get the full effect of this lens until my next session. Then I can go nuts with it!

Tariah and Thayana were nice enough to pose for me a bit. Well, kinda. :-)

On Monday, I will be the proud owner of this amazing piece of equipment:

Since things have slowed down a bit (HA! I'm LAUGHING on the inside!), I have decided I MUST post about how things are going for me. I don't have anything to hold back at this point, now that everyone is in on my plans for the future, so here goes ( Read more... )

I have SO MUCH more to write than this, but can I just take a moment to say how much my hormones are driving me NUTS right now?! It's really not helping me to have a very good relationship with Luke, which is causing me even more distress. I am sure I will get better as the week goes on, but the past two days have pretty much been Hell ( Read more... )
