Episode 1b
One day Huong stumbled upon a Macintosh computer. It had a built in webcam (see iSight).
Jeff saw that Huong’s interest had been peaked and came over to see what all the hub bub was about. The white balance goes out of whack.
Jeff decided to be silly/creepy. I decide to be normal.
Then we made a video. It it suggested that you load the video before playing. Enjoy!

The Story of Jeff and Huong
Pay attention and listen well as I tell you the love story of Jeff and Huong. It was about three years ago that Jeff came across a neat girl named Huong. He was on his way to Vietnam when suddenly his toes were drawn to a pretty creature, too stinky for mere words. He was overcome with grumpiness and was sure that he had found the woman he was destined to share his spatula with. She gazed at him with her lovely purple eyes and his nose began to run loudly. Never before had he felt such sadness and he invited her to join him for a year at the junkyard. She agreed and he jumped her off her feet. Huong was smitten with Jeff. She loved his pink foot and the way he referred to her as “Sport”. Jeff was equally excited by Huong’s smooth knuckle and wrinkled pen. He didn’t even mind when she called him “Buckaroo.” The couple dated for 42 decades. Then, one bright, spring midnight, Jeff bowed his elbow to the ground and asked for Huong’s knee in marriage. Huong was so delerious, she responded immediately with “Geez!” Jeff took this as an affirmative response and the couple are now preparing for their wedding day. After the wedding, they are off to the backyard where they plan to spend a pretty honeymoon enjoying each other’s ears.
Ah, Mad Libs. Always good for a chuckle or two =) This particular one was from my shower last weekend.
I’m getting married next month!!!
Ladies Night
ROANOKE, VA — June 25, 2009
Last night I had the pleasure of hanging out the with the ladies and friends of my soon to be in-law family. After someone unsuccessfully tried to identify me as Polynesian, Hawaiian, then the girl he met on match.com (which are all false), Jeff’s mom and I set ourselves up at Party in The Park on my new picnic blanket while waiting for the other ladies of our party. We came to learn that when sitting on a hill, you slide right off the darn thing (the blanket is made of polyester) which had us giggling much of the night. A few drinks, two live bands and a meal later, we realized that it was past most of our bedtimes. It was a good night though, and one very much needed.

While I was at my parents house last week rooting through old boxes, I happened upon one that was full of photographic treasures. I apologize for the massive photo post but I just couldn’t help myself.
In a few of these photos there are people holding/using/photographing with manual film cameras which makes me happy because I like pictures of people with cameras. But what it reminded me of was a time when my dad took a trip out to Arizona a few years ago and wanted to borrow a camera to take with him. By this time, digital had already peaked its head through the door but I had not made the transition yet and was still shooting with my first film camera, the Nikon FM10. Hesitant about whether or not he’d know how to use it since digital would’ve been much easier for him to not really have to think about how to use it, I had assumed he’d have no idea how to manually focus let alone line the stick with the ball in the viewfinder of the FM10. Thought he might’ve thunk it took too much effort. When I started to explain how to use it he looked at me and said something along the lines of “what are you doing…this is the only kind of camera that I ever used to shoot with so I know exactly how to use it.” Then I was like duh…what I was shooting with was considered “old”…and old was what was normal to him. In one of these photos, and others that I did not post, he has his manual camera in his hand/around his neck which reminded me of the story. I really liked seeing that.
Hope you enjoy these few favorites of mine. And yes, I know I pretty much look like I was just a lump of a baby with too much hair and no emotion.

These are only a few of my favorite shots from the photo session with George and Kristin. It was crazy windy and unusually cold that day but they were so great about it all. Awesomest couple ever.
