I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things.

I got to see Sean Astin today. He was here campaigning for Hilary Clinton along with Chelsea Clinton. I only stayed long enough to get some pictures of him. I didn't stay to hear Chelsea Clinton. I just wanted to see one of my favorite actors. I heard they made stops at Ball State and Butler. He talked about his wife a little bit, she's from Indiana and went to IUPUI. Crazy! I thought that was pretty cool.

Anyway here are some pictures. They aren't very good because I wasn't very close and I don't have a zoom lens.
























Well. That's it.

Lately...

From February:






Greg with our TV when it was brand new.

From Sunday:












Long dog.




Greg and his new phone! A woohoo!

From Monday:

Took most of these on the way in to work and after work.






My phone!!!


Law library stairwell.


Law books!


More law books!!!


On the way out.


To the parking lot.


Random thing.

Yay for more pictures.

Also a project from my photoshop class:


The assignment: "Using a photograph that you already have scanned, create a separate image that is a collage of the original." There are 60 different layers, so auto select was my best friend. I don't know how visible it is, but I did change the levels of some of the layers. I think it really made a difference.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

I haven't been taking pictures as of late, but I picked up my camera on Sunday and started snapping pictures of Greg and Emma. I forgot how good it feels to compose and create images. I'll be posting some of those later. I kind of lost confidence in myself after FFP found someone closer to home to do their photos. I've been feeling really bad about my skills. That's why I haven't done anything for awhile and why I haven't posted many pictures. I'll get it back. I just need to find my voice again.

Bleck...

Spring break is over.  I got my photoshop project done, and that's about it.  Woohoo!  It wasn't too difficult.  I should have done a lot more, but whatever.  I'm glad we found a new place to live, but now I want to move.  Really bad.  I have already planned where all of our furniture is going to go, and how I'm going to paint the walls. We're going to get a two bedroom, and the extra bedroom is going to be an office.

We found a new place to live.

It's near the same area that we're in now.  It's off of 38th street just outside 465.  It's really, really nice.  (Waterstone Apartments) Better than anywhere else we've looked  at/lived.  It's also more expensive, but I think it's going to be worth it.  There is a much better Marsh next to the apartments than we have near us now, and there is a Target too.  We can comfortably walk to them.  It's also on the bus line (a woohoo!!!).  We don't have an apartment yet, but we are second on the wait list.  We should hear by the end of April, and move no later than May 31st.

Things I like about the new apartment and complex:

• It's gated.
• Big lake.
• Lake view.
• Bigger fitness center (it's got more and newer equipment)
• Clubhouse and fitness center are nicer.
• Pool is nicer and bigger.
• We will have our own washer and dryer.
• Lots of cupboard, outlets and counter space in the kitchen.
• Lots of counter space in the bathroom.
• Living alone. (no offense guys)
• Overall it's just a much nicer community.
• Since we plan on being there for a while we can paint!!!

My phone does this place no justice.

The leasing office.  Also where the fitness center housed, and the pool is right behind it, and the lake is behind that.

This one is all slanted  because we were in the car and moving.
