It has been really long time since I've made a blog post! I am going to try get this started back up, I actually get a lot of views from people searching about Exposure Lock, Macro Extensions, Cokin ND filters, etc. that I have posted about. I have been slacking on the travel part for a long while (since we got back from Europe). So, here goes. So much has changed since the last blog post on here, so we'll just recap and get going. We had the best trip EVER on our summer trip around Europe and met some really awesome people that truly made our trip! I asked Hayley marry me in Ireland (she said yes). There was tons of after-college fun going on, working, hiking, camping, fishing, driving around, tons of photos around the Smoky Mountains of elk, deer, Cades Cove, bears, waterfalls, the starry skies, and hot rods. My sister had a baby, tons more pictures have been taken. My cousin had a baby, tons more pictures were taken. I got an awesome new camera, Nikon D7000. Did tons of photo work, weddings, babies, cars, cabins, ads, brochures, websites, National Geographic, Animal Planet, and a bunch of other stuff. We camped around some Florida state parks (that alligator pic was taken leaning out of a canoe), saw the Stone Temple Pilots in Cherokee, worked our same 'ol jobs a lot, thought "Hey let's go see the last launch of the space shuttle Endeavor when we get off work at midnight"...8 hours before it launched in FL! We made it to the shoreline about 10 minutes before liftoff and turned around and drove back home. We went to Destin with Candace, Virginia Beach, Chicago, Minneapolis, Alabama, Mississippi, Nashville a bunch. Most importantly, somewhere in that summary of our awesome post-college time... we got married and bought a house! It's been awesome, of course we knew it would be. Since then, we've been all over the place doing tons of fun stuff!
More recently, and this where we'll start back with travel bloggy stuff, we both got new jobs. We didn't really mean to get awesome new jobs at the same time, but I design all the stuff that holds up all the lights and speakers for concert stages...big concert stages. Hayley got the job that fuels our travels, even though it keeps us apart a lot. We went to Minneapolis and they had a interview for Flight Attendants, they had a whole conference center full of people, probably a few hundred. Over 8 hours of interviews and various stages of cuts, they narrowed it down to about 50. Those 50 were then narrowed down and they called some back for a job, Hayley got it! She is based out of Minneapolis and flies Delta planes for Sky West. Stay tuned for awesome pictures and travel stories!
Up next: Road Trip out West!
He is the best dog to travel with, we would lay back there and sleep then he would come sit propped up on the center console with his head between our seats just enjoying the ride with us! We took turn driving and I roade back there with Murph for a little while and took a nap. It's amazing what will fit in such a tiny car! We eventually made it to Kansas and drove about half way across the state before we got to our first camping spot... the Wal-Mart parking lot. I'm pretty sure you can't leave from TN and spend 2 weeks driving around the country and come back to TN for any less money than it cost us. We are the masters of cheap, as already you know if you read the 2 month Europe trip part of this blog.
