So, I did have an opportunity to take photos of a wedding. A friend of mine, Stephen Bahner, owns Sweet Action Photography and he is planning on taking me on board for big, long weddings. Right now it is him and his buddy, but he is looking to recruit one more photographer. Before I officially get on board, I needed to get more experience in weddings. This wedding was on December 14th for Stacy and Eli. I was glad it was a small wedding, 5 people, because it was kind of fast and on the go. It was held in the Bayshore Clubhouse and it was pretty dark inside, which made it difficult to shoot. We managed. It did make me realize how I cannot wait to get a new camera that can take in more light. The camera I have now, isn't a full frame, which makes it tough for light to get in. I am still debating which kind of camera I want for my birthday. I am very excited. Here is at least a sneak peak of a picture I took. The rest of the pictures weren't what I wanted, considering the difficulty of the darkness. All in all, I come to find out the bride and groom graduated from Dimond in 2005 and I am 2006. We all went to the same high school, what a small world! Congrats to them both.

Lastly, I got to open a Christmas present really early. I was in bed and Cory set it on top of me. It was a large, long box shaped present. I had a good guess of what it was and I was right! It was a snowboard and it was perfect. I love the design and everything. He knows how to pick the perfect things out for me. He also said my bindings were coming into the mail soon. I am super excited to use it and shred the slopes. I haven't snowboarded in a couple years and I know I am not that good. I am just excited we can snowboard together. Cory hasn't gone snowboarding since he has lived here. I definitely plan on going this break too. Now I need to get myself some boots and snow pants :)

Now I am just excited for break. Get to hang out with family and friends. Get to relax and not see students, ha. I already set up schedules for next semester for where us as sped teacher assistants will go. I am pumped about my schedule. I get to help in a photography and food science class aside from the math and science classes. On top of that, I also figured out my plan for UAA. I have calculated that if I do everything right according to my master scheduling, I will graduate with a Bachelors in Chemistry in Fall 2013. Right now that seems so far, but it will probably be here before I know it. I am really excited to get this college ball rolling. I will be 25 years old and that is the goal! Then I will obtain my Masters in Teaching in hopefully 10 months after that doing through the UAA fast track. Then I will officially be a TEACHER! Can't wait.
Shew! As always.........I get tired just reading about your adventures! Can't believe Cory gave you your present early (though really I can believe!). I'm sure you guys will have a blast playing in the snow. :o) Only 10 more days and I'm there. Unbelievable!!!
