What is still on the SD Card in the Camera!

It is interesting to see what we hang on to.  I have had my camera at my friends house since the move, and decided that I need to clean out the SD card.  Over the past 5 years I have taken a lot of pictures.  From person; trips, funerals, and family reunions, to business, weddings, Christmas Card photos, and for my church calling.

The oldest thing I had on this card was a wedding that I did for my ex-wife's friend on Dec 31, 2012.  Over 200 pictures and some of them were not even worth printing.  It took me a few months to get everything edited, because when I started, Kim's father had just gone into the hospital with heart problems, which turned into him have heart surgery, to not recovering, to dying 2 a month and half later.  All this time I am working on building up my business, fighting with my dad and spending countless hours at the hospital.

The worst thing is a new bride who wants her pictures, but does not understand that you have a whole different life than taking picture for a wedding.  This was a favor for a my wife's friend, saving them a lot of money.  And I got crap for 3 months because I did not have time to work on her stuff.  Push one of the guest at the party said I was being rude to her when that was also far from the truth.

I don't think most people understand that it take some time to edit over 200 pictures.  I was able to get it down to 110 pictures that were good to be printed out.  But this project was really a pain in the neck.  And dearly cost me a lot in my life, that most will never understand.

No one really knows the really me!

After having a interview with a church leader last weekend, I am tired of people assuming that they know me.  That I keep on being told, I am make poor decisions in my life, when they have no I did what I have gone through or what I am dealing with now.  Really did not need this in my life right now, when in just a few weeks I come out of training and start my normal schedule for the next few months.

Feeling left behind

Over the past month I have been to two baptisms, two farewells and a home coming.  It reminds me of what I do not have in my life, children.  I also have had my 44th birthday, which I spent on my own.  My marriage of 22 years is gone, and I really have nothing to show that I am here. But I have been living some what an oddity in the Mormon Church.  Having been married for so long, with no kids, you just don't get the feeling that you are part of the church family.  I have set in many a Priesthood Class, hearing the teacher tell how special it is to be a father, and how closer to God you are.  I really have not made a lot of friends in these wards, because I have no  kids that are in the same Primary Class, Sunday School Class, or Mutual. It even feels like the newly married couple, when they do get pregnant, that they are now one up on me. A few years ago, our Ward did away with the Family Camp Out.  But what stayed were the father/daughter and the father/ sons camp outs.  For

My Political Life.

In 2008 I received a degree in Political Science from Arizona State University.  When I was think back in high school what I would major in, it was down to history and political science.  I did not see very many career opportunities.  With political science, I could see myself serving in the Government.   I really want to work for the State Department, hopefully in an embassy some where around the world.  Plus I always had been interesting in politics. In 1976 I wrote then, new elected Jimmy Carter a letter, saying so much congratulating him for becoming the President.  OK,  I was seven, and I thought it was great that a guy from Georgia, at that time the state next door to Tennessee, was President.  I got a note back from him, thanking me writing.  OK, so the signature probably was done by auto pin, and some how a chocolate stain got on it, probably from a fudge bar, this is still one of my priced pieces. All through school, I wanted to serve as one of the class reps to Student Co
