I changed the top image to better reflect my current location and state of mind - complete with a broken tree to symbolize all the wreckage around here.

I’ve now been back in OK for a full week and I’m starting to get back into the swing of things. No, I don’t have a job and I’m not signed up for college classes just yet, but I thought that after 5 years of someone else telling me what to do I deserved a little off time. So far I’ve visited relatives in Dallas and Missouri, hung out with my family a lot, and reconnected with a few friends at one of my brother’s shows. All in all, not too bad.

Kana and I are still saying in close contact. Skype makes takes the sting off the long distance by letting me actually see her every few days. Of course I miss her terribly, but I think it’s important for me to establish myself here, in the civilian world, before she comes here for good. For those of you counting, it’s only 3 weeks until she’s here in Oklahoma. After seeing her world for 4 years now, I can’t wait to give her a taste of Oklahoma.

I’ve added a few pictures to my flickr site for your viewing pleasure. Just some random shots from around the lake house. I bought another lens and an off-camera flash because I’m planning to try my hand at amateur event photography. If you’re in need of a photographer, please shoot me an email.
