Tim & Heidi: Wedding

This past Saturday I had a blast hanging out with Tim and Heidi. What a beautiful wedding they had. This was the 3rd time we got to hang out and I honestly felt like I have known them for years. Their family and friend all flew in from the east coast. It was amazing to see them together with their friends of more than 20 years and to see the two sides of friends partying together! It's was such an honor to share your day. Thank you Tim & Heidi, say hello to your families when you see them at your bothers wedding.

Will Oct. Come Fast?

I am super excited! I can't wait for the first week of Oct. to come. Today Katey, Ezra and I went downtown for Katey's 20-week ultrasound. Everything thing looked great. The baby is growing proportionately and doing really well. This time around we decided that we wanted to know what the sex of the baby is....and it's a BOY! We are both super excited (we would have been either way). It is going to be a lot of fun having two little guys around and being playmates. What a miraculous day!

Pray

I just heard tragic news that Steven Curtis Chapman's 5 year old daughter was struck and killed by a car driven by her teenage brother, in there driveway. Here's an article from the Seattle PI and one from The Tennessean. As a father of one and another on the way, my heart is very heavy at this news and goes out to the Chapman family. Please take a moment to pray for their family. Pray for peace, understanding and wisdom for each member of the Chapman family. May the Lord be near.

Humor is Good

So if you are wanting the week to be over and the long weekend to be here. This should help you get through the next couple of days.... Blessings,Corey

Crazy Month

This month has been so crazy. The weather is finally starting to be better here which means time to be outside more. I have a laundry list work that needs to be done around the house, so I have been out trying to tackle as much of it as I can. I have to work around Ezra's nap schedule, cause he doesn't sleep when I'm out using the power tools. The other day our friends Brian & Megan came over for dinner and Brian & I actually went out to the backyard and started trimming one of our HUGH evergreens with a sawzall. Don't worry we could only get to the first 2 branches cause these trees are way too big for amateurs to tackle. This weekend is supposed to be in the mid 80's so I will not be in front of the computer or behind the camera. You will find me with my tool belt on and the power tools making noise.

Kyle & Jenny: Trash the Dress

Last week my sister got married down in San Diego. It was one wedding that I was able to just enjoy from a Groomsman perspective. Both Kyle & Jenny wanted to do a "Trash the Dress" session the day after the wedding. We had a blast hanging out on the pier with whispering people around us, "She's going to get that dress dirty". From the concrete to shoreline rocks to even a tree it was a blast.

The Definition of a Neighbor

The other day my neighbor came up to me and asked if I would take some pictures of him and his wife. They hadn't had pictures done in a while so he wanted them done. I said sure of course I will. They have lived in our neighbor hood for 45+ years now. Katey and I moved into our house 3 years ago and since day one, Jess has been an incredible neighbor. I remember the first day I met him, I was doing some before move-in work on the house and he must have seen me through the big picture window and come over to introduce himself. He watches over the house when we are gone, he knows all of our family member's cars (he is the co-captain of the Neighborhood watch), and he even helped my brother-in-law change his brakes on his car. He even gave Ezra a wooden dog, made by hand, for his 1st birthday. It has been a blessing to have them live right across the street, and to also be members of the same church.
