Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Bell

I want to say Congratulations to my cousin Cole Ann and my new cousin Brandon! From the pictures I have seen your wedding was perfect and fun! Cole looked beautiful and Brandon handsome. We are so sorry we couldn't make it but we know you understand.

While everyone was a the wedding, Jabin and I went to an event called Wine in the Wilderness at the Utica zoo. And while waiting in line I got this picture....
So we had to follow it up with  and what does our handsome nephew say? UNCLE JABIN! I can hear it now, he sure does love his Uncle Jabin! We miss him!
We also go a pic of Al and Gramps




There are a few more pictures for you guys, our wine sitting on the swan enclosure. Jabin found his new favorite wine, Black Cherry Pinot Noir. I must say it is very yummy! http://www.lakelandwinery.com/ is the website if you want to check them out. All in all the event was fun but very poorly executed. There are a ton of people, the website says thousands of people attend and they the zoo only has 3 tents up with vendors.  Jabin made a good suggestion, they should have a lot of little tents set up all around the zoo so you can spread everyone out. We have a plan for next year, get there early like we did this time, taste as many wines as we can in the first little bit of time, find a few good bottles and buy, and uncork then. And then start walking around and socializing and then after an hour or more is gone by then we noticed everyone else was drinking and not all crowded in the tents and we can continue to taste the wine we missed. So if you are interested in coming with us next year let us know!!!
Here is another pic of the zoo but the panoramic option didn't do to well on Jabin's face, he looks like he has a growth...ooops! 


oh and the sneaky camel...


 Well what else are we up to? Before we went to the zoo that morning we went on a walk by the canal, a 4.8mile walk! Go us! Note to self, we do not want to walk that much and then walk even more while drinking! All in all it was totally worth it.

Sunday we did laundry, LOTS AND LOTS OF LAUNDRY! We did a crap ton of loads at the plant. It's nice the company lets us use their facilities, but we can only do 1 load at a time. The good thing is that we can watched TV.

Last night we went to dinner at Babe's.    
It was pretty good, we both got burgers and we are pretty sure that our waitress forgot to put our order in because it almost took 30mins to get food. We think she realized and that is why we got a loaf of bread to snack on. Oh well it was worth the wait.

Oh Maggie called last night while at dinner and she is so so so happy with all of their pictures! She got the jump drive in the mail yesterday. I couldn't be happier to have done a good job for them, they really do deserve it!

Shooting weddings is so nerve racking. I know my wedding was the most important day in my life thus far and I always want to make sure that I capture the perfect moment for the couple. I've been lucky to take pictures at 2 of my fav peoples weddings.

On the topic of photography I really need to contact the chamber of commerce and see how they handle a hobby like photography. I don't want to break any laws in our new state. A lady at Jabin's work, Gloria, she is all about my work, she is asking if I will do her son's senior pictures and she is passing out my card to all of his friends parents and even putting up my card at their school I think. She lives an hour away from Utica but that's okay, I'm willing to travel on the weekends. That way Jabin could come with me.

Side note, I'm watching WUTR news, Central New York has a new sex offender program coming out, they will be sending out post cards to the neighbors of new sex offenders when they move into the neighborhood. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Well I don't really want to proof read this one either...but congrats you made it through anyway!
