fun in vegas

alexa and I just got back from a wonderful weekend in vegas with my mom and dave. while neither of us were lucky in our gambling endeavors, we had an amazing weekend filled with great eats and fantastic sights. the top picture is of lexi being a tourist on the strip drinking her large beverage, in the middle is the view from our room of those famous fountains next door, and lastly is a picture of the tower we stayed in, which also happened to be housing a celebrity that weekend, either beiber or larry flint. both were staying at our hotel and we happened to see one of the two in a golden wheelchair.

Photography 101

I just finished up a 5 week photography class and these are my favorite images that I took over that time. Enjoy!

you can find me in st louie (over memorial day weekend)

I am heading back to my hometown of St. Louis tomorrow for the long weekend. I hope to see some good friends and just have fun with them.

New House

Boom Roasted

I am terribly sorry to all those (mom and pops) who have been looking at my blog for updates only to find the blizzard post time and time again. Central Iowa is not that interesting in the middle of winter; the snow gets old very quickly. I will attempt to update my blog more hopefully with updates of the new house once I close on it two weeks from tomorrow. Above is a clove of roasted garlic from dinner last night. I made some garlic-honey pizza that Alexa and I
first had at the wonderful Fong's Pizza in downtown DSM.

white out

These are just a couple of pictures that I took from the blizzard that came our way last week and dropped around 16 inches of snow on us in one night and gave me a day off of work. Who would have thought that grown ups get snow days? The only bad part was in the process of digging out the cars I hurt my back and was sore for a couple of days, I guess I need to work out my back muscles more. In the exciting news department over the weekend Lexi and I were invited to the Christmas celebration at our local VFW bar which I think only the regulars are welcome at, so that is fun in Iowa.

I am lazy so it will take some time to put more pics up but they are coming...
