I'm sitting here, waiting for my hair to dry. I didn't really need a shower, but I took one because I wanted an excuse to stay up a little longer and write a blog. It's been too long since I've really written anything worthy of note. "I've been busy", to use the proverbial excuse. I've been doing all the regular media stuff, plus meetings, plus some preaching, plus visitation, plus fixing anything that breaks, plus going to weddings... About the wedding thing...

Jesse and Annie's wedding was the first of my pier's weddings I've attended. I really wanted to go to Luke and Audrey's wedding, but I just didn't have the money - and I had to shoot a wedding in CO the same weekend. Now I've been to lots of my parent's friend's weddings, but never one of my own friends who was my age. It really made me think about the future. Surprisingly, I'd say it made it even harder for me to imagine getting married. I think there's just too many mountains to climb for me to think about marriage right now. People say, "oh, but it's so much more fun to climb them together". I don't know - I'm a lot more content than I thought I'd be. I'll come to that bridge someday, and when I do, I'll cross it then. I was really happy for Jesse and Annie - I still am.

I watched the wedding photographer very closely - I learned a lot... Jordan, Jesse's younger brother, wrote a song that he sang - it was really cool. He also preached a sermon and had a prayer. I feel like that kid's my own brother - I was so proud of him. He's grown so much in the past year, and he's such a man of God. Oh that there were more young men with that kind of commitment to the Lord. I look forward to seeing how the Lord uses him.

I'll post some pictures after I get a chance to edit them. Until then, here's another picture I snapped at Mission College on Monday with my 24-105mm:

Here's a 100% crop of the image - I love this lens!
