The return to New England

Of course while back in New England for Becki's wedding we took a few photos here and there.









A couple of us, playing around with the self-timer




Driving through Franconia Notch. As usual the following two photo where taken from the passenger seat at high speeds.




Our last night we caught up with some friends, and this, believe it or not, is Casey & Rachel's front yard.


Yeah, we're jealous

Playing Hooky

We've been having a love/hate relationship with the Golden State since moving here in April. It's nice for me (Jess) to be back around people I know and the places I grew up, but the heat and overdeveloped landscape is killing us. But amazingly enough it only takes about an hour to get away from everyone.

This last Tuesday I (Jess again) woke up feeling under the weather and tired of people. So we took off to explore Northern San Diego County.

Outside of Julian


We followed a road out of Julian that I've never taken and discovered absolute solitude in the Anza Borrego Desert




Matthew still doesn't like it here

Holy Crap!

I woke up this morning to an unusually high number of views on our flickr page. Turns out our own wedding is featured today on offbeat bride So apparently it wasn't the white-trash hoe-down I had feared.

The Ecstatic Wisdom of the City of Angels

A few random updates on our life: First of all, we picked up a new camera today


What does this mean for you? We now have two good, working cameras instead of one and a half. Matthew is now able to take photos uninterrupted, at random, and without throwing the camera out the window. We also (finally) picked two flash units so we're no longer scared of the dark. Awesomeness is sure to ensue.

Matthew had 5 wisdom teeth (yes, 5) pulled this week. I left him alone for a few minutes and this is what I found when I came back:


We went to LA earlier this week...


... and did a little adding to the ol' sign collection






And that is our life this week. Thank you.

Standing on a corner in Winslow AZ

We spent about a week along routes 81, 44, and 66 on our move cross-country. Here are just a few of the photos we took...

Pennsylvania


Beale St, Memphis TN


Sun Studio, Memphis TN


Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial





Possibly Texas


Possibly New Mexico


Arizona

I do have photos of standing on a corner in Winslow AZ, but I didn't get around to uploading them. Maybe later...

Alive and Kicking

So, as I'm sure everyone knows, life has been happening to us since my last post. We're now living in Southern California trying to figure out what to do next with our lives. I've been taking lots of photos in the meantime, and am working to get the following posted:
• our trip cross country
• Rachel and Scott
• Dylan and Sarah's wedding
• The Kanavel Family

It's been so long since I've posted that I'd forgotten my sign-in info for this page. That's all resolved now.

I'm also working on a new, real website and business cards and the whole nine yards...
