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.

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

Trains

Image
Me with Jensen in 2012. As I was writing about my vacation with my grandparents, it made me realize that I had a love of trains.  Not only did my Hatch grandparents work for the railroad, but so did my Grandpa Close.  One thing that I left out from the trips, was that we did stay here in Mesa between our travels from California, Northern Arizona, and Utah.  My grandpa Hatch would always take me down to Pioneer  Park and they had a train engine there, and I climbed all over that train inside and out. I think it that next Christmas that he got me a train set that had and engine that blow smoke.  I had that train until I think the second move out to Arizona.  But I have always enjoyed model trains.  One of the things I really enjoyed about going to the State Fair was going and seeing the model train set below the grandstands.  And then seeing the exhibit in San Diego in 2007. Living in Chattanooga was great as well.  During the Civil War, Chattanooga was the major train hub for th

Life after High School

This week my oldest niece, Ashley, is graduating from High School.  It is hard to believe that this little girl that I watched from a distance, is now a young woman, and going out into the big wide world.  I remember graduating from the same high school back in 1988.  There was over 800 plus of use getting our diplomas that night. A few days later, I was on a plane to Hawaii, for a week of fun with other classmates.  I had worked all senior year, and back than I think I paid $300 for the total trip.  There was about 15 of us from Mesa High that went on the trip.  About two weeks later, we were all back together to share our pictures of the trip.  The talk turned to what next.  For most, it was off to college.  I was one of three Mormons that went on the trip, and I knew that in two months I would be putting in my papers for a Mormon mission, and with in six months I would be in the mission. field.  I was shocked to find that many envied me,  because I knew what I was going to be doin
