Ok, so I went with my dear and patient friend Lianne to go practice more photography. I'm lucky she is patient, because we had more than our fair share of problems. First of all, we get to the fountain I had been dying to take pictures at, and theres a cone in the middle of it. Hilarious, but we just had to shoot angles that didnt include that fun little object! Second, the technical difficulty I've been having with my Nikon, is that the camera seems to want to tell ME when it is or isnt going to shoot. I get one shot, then it refuses to take another. I'll mess with the settings and then it'll decide to let me take 2 or 3 more (if I'm lucky), then it'll stop shooting again. I'm very puzzled as to why it's doing this, and it makes it hard to get the settings right, when I'm only allowed one shot. I discovered that when I take the battery out, when I turn it back on, it lets me take 4 more photos. After an hour shoot though, I realized that eve...

So, I have an embarrasing thing to admit. I remember all the teachers I know talk about tenure when I was younger. Talk, but not write it down. I always thought they were saying ten-year. And I thought they were excited about ten-year because they had a guaranteed job for ten years. Made sense to me, and I never saw it spelled, so I never questioned it. I never really thought about it much, until I saw something about it online recently, and was wondering what tenure was. After seeing it used in a sentence, I came to realize, that I am just dumb. lol On a side note, I took some pictures of my friend Lianne recently. I am having a few technical problems with my camera that I can hopefully iron out, so the exposure was completely terrible, and I couldn't do much to fix or salvage many of the pictures other than what I could do in LightRoom/Photoshop. Here are a few of the ones that are semi ok! I was also just playing around with a watermark, honestly cause it gave me the ...

So, Rob has been looking for jobs. He really wants to get into law enforcement. The only problem is that it takes too freaking long to complete the entire application process! Like, 6-9 months is considered quick. Anyway, he is going to be testing with the Riverside Police Department, so cross your fingers for him. He had gotten back a letter from the Salem, OR police asking him to come test out there...the only problem with that, is that we got the letter on the 14th, and the testing date is the 18th. =( No time to plan for that one. I was really hoping for Salem too. We're even starting to consider Utah now, that how desperate we;re getting now. lol. Rob's mom also came into town not too long ago, so we have a big family get together...for only the family that is in so cal...which is a tiny percentage. We took one of the biggest tables at Bucca De Beppo! I love that place! I love their pizza!

One of my coworkers 4(ish) year old son was waiting in the front lobby with grandma... Me: Bricey! How did you get so cute Bricey?!? Brice:(pause to think) It's because I drink chocolate milk! lol. I still cant sop laughing! I thought I'd share!

Ok, so after living 9 months with no internet other than my little iPhone, which as far as I know, offers no easy way to update blogs, we finally have internet, and I can finally start to update the good ol' blog! I wont get into too much detail about things and bore the maybe one person who might read this. Our Kitty Cat! We got Dash about, oh, 5 or 6 months ago. I swear, Rob loves that boy like he was his own birth child. I think Dash gets more lovin than I do! We lovingly call him Stinky because the poor thing had stomach problems with the first first food we tried him on, which resulted in some pretty potent gas problems. Unfortunantly for us, I think he realized how to control that power, and unleashed it on us whenever he didnt want to be held/played with/scared/etc. School- I start back to school this fall after taking the summer off. Its really tough to work full time, and try to get night classes in. Not that I really have it that hard, but its tough to concentrate on scho...
