After only about 5 months of trying to have a baby, we found out last week that we are pregnant!!
It was somewhat of a shock...most everyone said that it probably wouldn't happen in the first year- but- surprise!  Knowing that I am a Father-to-be brings many emotions to the table: anticipation, fear, extreme joy, concerned, etc...Wow- a new baby on the way!!!  Beth is due on the 4th of March 2009...I'll keep you updated   ~:o

This being my first ever post- ever, I will merely type my thoughts out on this blog to get this party started!  Last night, I drove up near the state line to attempt to shoot some unpredictable summertime pulse storms.  These storms form quickly, and rise to strong levels- often producing some great lightning.  However, they die just as quickly- often only having a life for about 15 minutes or so...Well, I got setup at sunset near the state line, as pink and orange light filled in underneath a huge rain curtain- but nothing- nada...Boy, when the weather does not cooperate, it can be a drag- not to mention, I was in a strange place that I am not used to- making the visibility almost a joke...I did capture some lightning, but nothing major.

Plus, this week, I am learning some details from the library about my exhibition titled: "Lightning of the Valley: Beauty, Art, & Power"  I am going to be as busy as a bee getting ready for this showcase, but I am so excited about too!
