Well I know it has been a long time since I’ve updated the blog area but well life has just been crazy busy! As of September 30th I’m now a home owner! With my former roommate, Mark, getting married this coming weekend I had to find a new place to live. The Lord blessed me with the opportunity to buy my own place instead of continuing to rent.

There are many more photos where this one came from over in the gallery.

This past weekend, I was invited out on the lake for one more day of wake boarding before the temperature just got too ridiculously cold! The guys still wore wetsuits and I was able to snag some pretty cool photos including Josh landing a 360 back roll!

Again you can check all of these and more out in the photo gallery or on Flickr.

This past Thursday marked the end of a 6 week ordeal for my good buddy Shem. You see, six weeks ago Shem was out wake boarding before we left for Impact. Upon landing face first into the water, he came up with blood running from his eye. Upon inspection from a doctor, he had cut a 10mm incesion into the outer layer of his eye. His course of treatment? Six weeks of no strenuous activity - ie. 6 weeks with no wake boarding.

With the end of this ordeal - we returned to the same lake, on the same boat to mark the joyful end of Shem’s infirmity.

Mark also got his first shot at wake boarding on Saturday and did amazingly well!

Of course, a sampling of the photos from the rest of the day can be found in the Wakeboarding gallery. I hope to be adding some more photos later this week as I get a chance to go through them.

My church has an annual lake baptism service out at Falls Lake north of Raleigh. Last year was the first year I attended and I promised myself that I would make it again this year! I was able to snag some awesome photos last year and willingly waded out into the lake with camera in hand to take some more photos.

This past Saturday I got the awesome opportunity to enjoy Falls Lake with some great friends. Despite the heat, we had a great time and I managed to avoid getting too much sun (thanks to the canopy on the boat).

Probably the most fun was watching friends wake board and knee board. I’m not much of the type to get pulled behind a fast boat on a piece of fiberglass however, I love photographing people doing just that!

Check out more photos over in the Lake Day Gallery.

I know, two posts in one day but I couldn’t resist!

My adopted little sister, Carolyn, graduated from NC State on Friday. No she isn’t my sister nor did my parents adopt her but I met her when she was a freshmen and through a series of events she really became like my little sister. Yes, she annoys me some times but I’ve heard that’s what little siblings are supposed to do!

Friday evening before graduation, her parents were so gracious to take some of us out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory - which is always fun.

After dinner, we all met up over at the historic Reynolds Coliseum for the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department graduation. Carolyn received her BS in Mechanical Engineering and I couldn’t be prouder of her!
