After many hours of designing and uploading and figuring out a name I have finally made a photography website. With the help of my lovely computer genius husband we were able to get it working last night. It's nothing fancy but it's a nice place to keep some of my photos and it's an easy place for people to go if they want to check them out. I decided on using the name Square One Photography. It just came to me one day and I like the sound of it. Plus it means "starting point" or "fresh start" which I feel is where am at in this "photography business" so it works for me. Sorry Eric, for not using Scookum Photos, it just wasn't quite what I was looking for. Haha. Anyways, I would love if you guys check out the site and let me know what you think. Just click on the link of my logo below and leave a comment here or email me at my new photography email. I don't know where this website will take me but it's definitely a start from square one. Yeah, I know, that was kind of lame. Okay, enjoy the website!

Be prepared for many pictures because I couldn't just narrow it down to a few. This past weekend I had a engagement photo shoot with Josh and Cassie at Harrison Lake where they plan on getting married. It was a perfect cloudy day and the rain held off so we got some great shots. I'm very happy with how they turned out, let's just hope the wedding pictures are even better!
I have been thinking of starting just a simple website with my wedding/engagement photos so if people want to look at them they are in one spot but I'm having trouble coming up with a photography name. If you guys have an suggestions let me know. Something original but not too weird would be good. Chris suggested Falkland Photos, to go along with the farm name in Herbert but I'm not too sure about that one. I'm not sure if I even want my name in the title, maybe just something random. Anyways, bring on the suggestions.
Other things that are happening around here... Chris is done basketball for the year, his team lost in their first playoff game. I think he's glad to be done for now because it was pretty busy. I didn't get the Sears job which I'm not too disappointed about because it was a weird situation to begin with. The manager in Abbotsford was the one who interviewed me but it was the Chilliwack manager who would decide to hire me. So I don't really know what she based her decision on if she didn't even meet me. They didn't get back to me when they said they would and so I had to email them myself to find out what their decision was. I guess God has other plans for me. I'm hoping to hear back from Cultus Lake next week where I would really like to work because it works well with school starting in September with their camping season ending around then. So here's hoping... Chris has the privilege of going to Whistler for free this Sunday with the ski club at his school, he is a "teacher sponsor". Pretty sweet deal I'd say. We also bought some lift tickets through Josh who got a deal with work so we're heading up to Whistler again all as a group next month to a cabin that Chris got connected to through a teacher at his school. That is also a pretty sweet deal. Alright, well that's all I got for now, so for those of you who never comment, this is your chance to leave a comment and suggest what my photography name should be. I know you're out there! Reveal yourself...

A week ago we went to a Chilliwack Bruins game for the first time. Chris got a deal on tickets from one of his students who was selling them so we took up the offer. It was a pretty good game, Chilliwack was up half way through but it ended up being tied by the end of the game. It went into overtime and then into a very long shootout that Chilliwack lost. They should have won but it was fun to watch. Here's some action shots...

He Shoots, He Scores!
Another fun thing we did this week was went snowboarding at Hemlock. We headed up there Saturday afternoon with Josh, Cassy, Eric and Carmen. It was pretty much sprinkling rain the whole time we were there and it was not very fun being at the top with lot of fog and little bits of ice pelting your face from the wind but once we got down the hill halfway it was good. Cassy and I only lasted until we ate lunch and then we hung out in the lodge while the others got soaked to the bone. I should have taken a picture of them when they were finished because they looked like a bunch of wet rats. All in all it was a good day but I would like to go when it's nicer weather that's for sure. I think I got the hang of snowboarding though so at least I know I can still do it for when we go again. And Chris is definitely sure that he made the right decision on buying a board so that is also good.

In other news, I finally had a job interview. It's for being a Sears Portrait Photographer. I'm supposed to find out by the end of the week what they have decided. I'm not too sure yet if I'll be taking it or not but we'll see once I hear back from them. What I'm really excited about is that I have possibly three weddings this summer that I'm photographing. Chris and I just booked our flights out to Saskatoon on May long weekend for his cousin's wedding which I'll be doing so that'll be fun. I'll also be taking Josh and Cassy's pictures in August. We have their engagement session this weekend if it doesn't rain. This means I have an excuse to buy a new toy for my camera, a flash. It's kind of necessary for those indoor shots to make them look good so I'm gonna have some fun testing it out and seeing what I can do with it. Yeah so I'm excited to be able to take these pictures and hopefully make them great for these couples. Well, that's all I got for now, look back for engagement photos of Josh and Cassy.

Well, it's been a sad few days around here as the reality of the Patriots losing has sunk in. We had Eric, Carmen and Jeff over for the Super Bowl on Sunday which ended in a shocked and silenced Chris sitting at the end of the couch. He looked somewhat like this guy...
Very dejected. But he's gotten over it and life has moved on. There's always next year as they say. In brighter news he finally got his new pride and joy, his K2 Fuse snowboard, which has yet to be given a name. Perhaps Gertrude or Beatrice, those are my suggestions. We're planning on going out this Saturday so he can try it out and so I can give snowboarding another chance to see if I want to get one myself. Here's the new board in all it's glory...
In other news, no job yet, still patiently waiting. Chris has many basketball games this week but then the season is done and there's just playoffs, which he is looking forward to. My dad is back in the hospital and had a surgery yesterday on his left leg, which is not the one he just had surgery on but had a shunt put in it about a month ago. I guess the shunt didn't work because he got a blood clot and there was absolutely no blood going to his foot so they had to cut him open once again and take a vein from his foot to replace another one in his leg which will hopefully let the blood flow better now. I'm not all sure what they did but hopefully this is the last time he has to go in and he can finally just enjoy being at home and not worrying about going in for more surgeries. Tonight Chris and I are going on a date to a Chilliwack Bruins game. We haven't been to one all year and Chris got cheap tickets from one of his students who was selling them for a fundraiser so it'll be a fun night I reckon. That's all for now, toodles.
