Ive got to hurry, our son has a Event today, but quickly here....
My week long trip was a blast. Friday i drove to Odessa to celebrate my grandsons first birthday! He is a beautiful baby and looks so much like our son Scott. (My daughter named him after her brother.) Then on Saturday I caught a flight to Houston, where I sat next to a former NFL football player for the Pittsburgh Steelers (BAM Morris) I talked to him about our son and showed him photos and he said that our son is destined for the NFL with his weight lifting abilities and football skills. ha ha. He was a super nice guy. He gave me some advice on training and what the NFL looks for! He said he will be looking out for Scott because at such a young age is so strong and is headed in the right direction. He couldn't get over the fact that he squats 705 lbs! He said that is more than some grown men in the NFL!
It was a very nice and pleasant flight.
Then in Houston I got my rental car, (My hubby reserved me a SATURN) and I hate to admit, it was an awesome car. Now I want one! haha. So so super comfortable and the dash is so sleek. A joy to drive. (And I dont know how many horses were under the hood, but it had some get up and go on it.)
I checked into the Marriott near the Galleria and the Hotel staff were impeccable! I really cant remember having such good service. (When I would call room service it came within 15 minutes! That's really fast for any hotel). It was a wonderful stay.
Heres the link. I highly recommend it! And the Galleria area is so beautiful! I had a little work done there. (just my lips, haha. They had a great spa near my hotel, and I couldnt resist)

I'm saving the details of the wedding for later. But it was so awesome. I was so honored to be there.
Then on Monday I attended a great workshop with 2 amazing Photographers . Joe Bussink and Yervant. They are both amazing. Joe is a Beverly Hills photographer and shoots celebrity weddings, Like Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson and Steven Spielberg.
I swear! Joe and I think so much alike! Its nice when you meet someone who has the same philosophies as you do! It makes you think its okay to think the way you do! It was very validating. Here's his site. http://www.joebuissink.com/ This image is one I took while Joe was telling us about Steven Spielbergs birthday party. He made us cry with his tender stories. He truly is a "SOFTIE" and I loved it. The image behind him is Steven and his wife watching their daughter sing Happy Birthday to Steven.)
Yervant is an amazing photographer from Australia. He told me he is Armenian and his father used to work for the royal family. He is an incredible photographer as well. I learned so much.
Ive followed both mens work for a few years and it was nothing short of fabulous! http://www.yervant.info/JoeYervant2008/Home.html
This photo was taken of me and Yervant Monday night after Dinner! We were waiting for the Valet guy to park our cars. I cant wait to apply some of the new things I learned. (I thought after 23 years of shooting weddings, I had seen it all. Yervant taught me a few new tricks!)
It was hot in Houston and I had just come back from the GRAND LUXE restaurant across from the Galleria.(Wheere I had a huge RIB EYE and Chocolate Cake!)
More to come! Our son is in a strong LINE MAN contest today, so got to run!
Its good to be home, I missed my family!
