Sophia Ruth Wells

2010-07-22T15:22:00.000-07:00

Happy birthday, Sophia Ruth! You're such a pretty little girl already, and I'm so proud of you. You're the first girl among your generation of the family, so you get to lead the way and teach all your little girl cousins what to do and what not to do, and I know you'll do a fantastic job, just like your mother did. You're one of the greatest blessings in my life by far, and I love you very much, little Sophie.

Love,

Aunt Addie

Beowulf Arthur

2010-06-12T22:07:00.000-07:00

The night Henry Wesley Wells was born, I ran nearly four blocks to get to him. When I got there, and looked at my first born nephew, I thought he was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I still hold to that. I'd almost forgotten what it was like to hold Henry the night he was born, though. Nearly two years has gone by, and he's quite the little man. I love him a million times more now, but he isn't a baby anymore.

But now I've a new nephew. Beowulf Arthur. I didn't get to hold him the night he was born, but three days old and he's every bit as amazing the first night. He is an incredible work from the hand of God, and I'm amazed to look at him. He truly is beautiful. Just like his cousin.

Anberlin 2010

2010-05-05T10:26:00.000-07:00

So, Anberlin is my favorite band ever. As much as I love Coldplay and Colbie Caillat (and I do love them a lot), Anberlin still wins out. And last night I got to see them LIVE! That rocked, not enough evers. Between the mosh pit, and drunken UI students having to be escorted out, and the rest of us just in general rocking out and singing along, it was pretty unforgettable.

Happy birthday!

2010-03-26T17:31:00.000-07:00

My oldest younger brother (figure that one out if you can) turned seventeen today.

(He's not excited or anything)

To the man who plays blues at 10:00 at night...

the man who makes a rockin' bagel breakfast...

the man who drives stick shift like no one else (seriously) ...

the man who builds fences like something that builds fences like the wind...

the man who brings the mikes...

the man who knows exactly what to do when I yell "combat boots!"...

the man who drove a tractor before he could drive a car...

the man who works harder than so many others his age...

the man who watches looney tunes with me after midnight...

and probably the only person who gets every single reference, joke, and quote I make...

...I wish a very happy birthday.

I love you, Robert!

2010-02-05T13:53:00.000-08:00

This is me recording audio books.

Its an awesome job, and I love it. I've also found that the stories come out sounding way more interesting if I read it as if I'm actually telling the story to a live audience, which mean I gesture and use facial expressions. It can get interesting.

Lens issues

2009-12-22T01:47:00.001-08:00

/insert public announcement here

Before I post any more pictures, I just want y'all to know that Allison (my camera) decided to break her 18-55mm lens, so until I can scrounge up enough money to buy a new one for her, I'll be using her 55-200mm lens for all my photographs for a while. It'll be an interesting experience, and probably really good practice, but I admit that I'll be relieved when I can get a smaller zoom lens again.

But yes, I'm hoping to buy a new one, and then then turn the old broken one into a Tilt-Shift lens. I'll have to do a bit of reading up on how to make one, though. Wish me luck!

Anyhow, I hope y'all appreciate some of what I come up with (because I'm going to have to work harder now to get good shots), and hopefully I'll be able to get some shots worth posting! Woot. Actually, now that I think of it, the pictures of me with Sunny are all with my 55+ lens. There is hope yet!

Merry Christmas!

Tonight is the last night that all of the Hill Abbey girls will be together, so we turned on Owl City and had Robert come take Christmas pictures of us. Enjoy!

Kate's 24th Birthday

2009-11-17T14:54:00.000-08:00

Juliet was explaining to me a few things about the macro setting on my camera(with macro, Jordan is blurry and my palm is clear. Without it, my palm is blurry and he's clear), and thus, these two shots followed.

George offered to cut the cake with his teeth.

Hehe....

Happy birthday, Kate!

We were going to go dancing last night, but the plans changed and we had to find other ways to amuse ourselves.

This is what we came up with.

Isn't my house beautiful?

Then we came home and made popcorn balls and fudge...

Saturday morning at the market

2009-08-22T15:17:00.000-07:00

Hannah and I (among other friends) went to the Farmer's Market this morning in hopes of getting some practice in with our cameras. My battery died about fifteen minutes into the excursion (lame), though I did manage to snap a bunch of shots that I'm happy with. Hannah got a TON of great pictures, so y'all should go check her blog once she gets it up and running.

Enjoy, and let me know which you like best (or dislike best if that's the case).

The reason I like this one so much is because of the creepy dude in the mirror. "Mirror, mirror, on the wall..."

Reno's Gold Nugget

2009-08-20T08:29:00.000-07:00

Reno is one of the monster gambling towns in the US. Though perhaps not quite as widely well known for a good time as Las Vegas, it has its returning patrons. And its no wonder; the casino buildings are monstrosities, stories upon stories of glass or wood, and not only built up, but also dug deep into the ground, making them even more impressive once one finds him or herself inside. It is a draw that any die-hard gambler could hardly fail to notice. Yes, Reno does a good job of living the life of glamor, and it brings people back.

But as for me, I would go back for the clouds.
