Happy 2008!

Yikes, it has been a month since my last blog. I hope the few that typically read it had a great Christmas and New Year! I apologize for my absence, but it has been and continues to be crazy. The new job is going well, but the days are definitely longer especially when you factor in the often longer-than-an-hour commute. I've had little time for relaxation, which includes any blog writing or blog reading. I'm happy the holidays are over, but I'm now furiously working on my dad's 60th birthday which is on the 12th (or six days away). My brother and I shot video footage, documentary-style, of the Ohio family sharing stories or thoughts about my dad. I'm now editing the footage, and I only have my mom left so I'm close to being done with that stage. Once I'm done with the video editing, then I'm combining the "clipped" footage with photos (that I had to scan - about 140) and various favorite songs of my dad's to create an approx. 30 minute video to present to him for his birthday. I'm also now making the birthday cake and am in charge of finding a good restaurant, so until I get through Saturday my time will continue to be limited and crazy.

I'm looking forward to catching up with my friends blogs out there, and also hope to be able to start writing in mine more often again. I must close, but I leave you with a few shots that B took on his new camera (his xmas gift from me) of my brother and I working on shooting the video at the folks house.
