We had an awesome vacation at the Outer Banks last week. As always, it's hard to get back to work after some time off, but it's fun to look through the photos and be reminded of how much fun we had. My fam rented a house on the sound side. The kite and wind surfers were fun to watch and we went kayaking a few times. Here are a few photos...

| Letter from my friend Tony |
[06 Mar 2009|10:16am] |
Hey Everybody,
These are my friends in Arizona who run a non-profit horse therapy ranch. They do incredible work on a daily basis. They have helped me personally and have had a big impact on my life. The last time I was out there I was privileged to be a volunteer for a week, being a side-walker with some of the developmentally disabled clients, and shoveling horse poop for kicks. :-) They help people of all ages with physical, emotional, and psychological problems.
They are hurting with the economic downturn, having lost some of their sources for funding and are seeking donations - whatever you can send - $5.00, $50.00, $500.00 - they will take it and use every last cent to continue to do the incredible work they provide to the people in that region. Check out their website to see some of the services they provide.
I can personally vouch for them and if you are wanting to be of help financially somewhere but don't know where to direct your funds - this is one place where it will make a big big difference.
Please forward this to your network of friends and help spread the word so that these fine folks can continue to serve their community and make a difference in the lives of those who really really need it. http://www.connectionsaz.com
Thanks! Tony
Hello to all that read this!!
As many of you know Connections has provided a wonderful service to the Verde Valley for almost 10years now. We have been through many hardships before and are facing them once again due to the economy. At this time we are asking all of you that are "connected" to Connections in one way or another to please write a personal note and forward this attached letter to as many of your "connections" as you can. We need help urgently. The more we all give in any sense of the word the more we all shall receive. So, please give the gift of your time and pass this on. Every little bit helps. Thank you in advance for your time and belief in the goodness of this program and the work we do.
Sincerely, Jordan

Dad flew into Atlanta from California Friday night and we picked him up at the airport. Saturday morning, Robert and I took him to the Atlanta Botanical Garden for a little photo excursion. I got to test out my new 5D and use the Lens Baby, which is always fun.
After dad started his drive back to NC, Rob and I drove up to the Regal theater to see Coriline. Amazing. It was definitely worth it to see it in 3-D on the big screen. We had a great time playing board games at Dave and Becky's Saturday night, and Sunday we got a visit from the lovely Miss Marilyn. Overall, and awesome weekend, just way too short.

Saturday morning, Rob and I's church had its annual Blessing of the Animals. There were about 30 dogs there, and two very brave kitties, including Biscuit.

On Saturday, Rob's family met us in Chattanooga to take a train ride for his Dad's 60th birthday. The train was totally steam powered and the cars were restored to their original state. We had lunch on the dining car and stopped in Summerville, Georgia before heading back to Chattanooga.

Last weekend, I shot a small set of fashion photos for the talented Lorigami. Kip was our very patient model, who deserves a medal for standing still while being attacked by a million mosquitoes at the Carter center gardens.

Brian DJed at Rob and I's wedding, and I traded him a portrait shoot. We met in downtown Decatur Sunday evening. Our shoot got cut a little short because of a thunderstorm, but I think we got a few good shots before we ended. Brian and Kip are so comfortable in front of the camera, silly and playful that it's hard to get bad shot of the two of them. Adorable!

Our friend Martin set up the photo booth at our wedding. Thanks, Martin! The photos are amazing, so I wanted to share some of them. Here are just a few of my favorites...
  Shell and Ben helped us to put everything together.  My dad and my brother.  Some of the MST3K crew... and Liz.  Rob's sister Al and her boyfriend are throwing gang signs with us. Check this one out on Flickr.com if you want to know which gangs we're in. :)  Awww... Lori and Wayne are super cute in this one.  Hahahaha...  I'm so glad I brought the mustache. Has any one seen it? Too many awesome ones to post! Go see more here- http://www.flickr.com/photos/bonheath/sets/72157605594101248/

Our honeymoon was outstanding. It would take too long to make a post about every day, so I'll post a few photos and highlights.
 The place we stayed most of the week was Yelapa, an island off the coast of Puerto Vallarta. We rented an ocean front room at the Hotel Lagunita. The food was fantastic.  This was our room. We could hear the ocean.  We went for lots of walks around the island. It was pretty awesome to be away from cars, cell phones and the internet for a week.  This was the view from our room.  Here's a couple of shots from one of our walks through town.   Charlie's a stray dog who lives on the island. He adopted us for a couple of days. Everyone knew Charlie and greeted him by name.  It was an amazing vacation. I'll try to post more soon. See more photos here- http://flickr.com/photos/bonheath/sets/72157605548158031/

Oz's party rocked! I was so impressed with everyone's ninja and pirate costumes. Dodge ball was awesome fun and the photo booth was a big hit.

Robert and I played around with a technique called "painting with light" a few nights ago. It's a lot of fun. You set the camera up on a tripod, and make the room very dark. You set your shutter speed for a long time, like 20 or 30 seconds. After you hit the shutter, you direct flashlights, pen lights, laser pointers or anything else that makes light onto the subject.

lorigami and her sweet hubby set me up with an excellent photo job, taking pics at East Side Lounge in East Atlanta. I took photos of the club empty, and also with people. This is one of my favorites...

We finally got our engagement photos done Friday afternoon. I traded some editing with Jason Spruill, the wedding photographer I work for on weekends. He's a talented shooter, and was relieved that we wanted a different location than Piedmont Park, like his regular clients. We went to the High Museum, and had a great time shooting in the permanent exhibits.

This year I'm one of those annoying people who already has their Christmas shopping done. Well, mostly done. I have a few odds and ends left. And, I did most of it online. Woohoo! No malls. Just an occasional trip to Target. :) A few days ago, we sent out our holiday postcards. I won't post the image yet, because I don't want to spoil it for friends who will get them in the mail soon.
 Check out this awesome wrapping paper I got this year.  This is our new favorite ornament.  This one is also great. He came from Rob's family this year.  We still love our paper cranes Miss Becky made us!
We had a great time decorating the tree last Sunday. Our friends Shell and Ben came over, and we drank eggnog and listened to the Rat Pack Christmas. I'm glad we decided on a real wreath for the door. When you open the storm door, it smells wonderful.

A few weeks ago, Robert and I took a mini vacation to Charleston with Shannon. We stayed with her mom who has lived just outside Charleston in Mount Pleasant for years and years.
We did a lot of walking around the city. We ate a lot of seafood, and went on a ghost and graveyard tour. We also took a tour of the Provost Dungeon, which was awesome because it feature animatronic (sp?) guides, one of which was a talking parrot!
I took a few photos with Shannon's camera. Here are a few of my favorites-

It's been a busy few weeks. I haven't had much of a chance to shoot a lot for fun lately. A couple of weeks ago, my parents came for a visit to meet Robert's family. I was really nervous, but their meeting went well.
While my dad was in town he installed a dishwasher for us. Thanks to lorigami and her hubbie for donating it to us. To thank my pops, I bought he and I behind the scenes tickets for the Georgia Aquarium. It was pretty cool to see stuff from a different angle. Here's how close we got to the whale sharks from the top!
