8 MILE RUN!!!

I just finished my NEW official longest run ever... 8 MILES!  It's amazing how your body can just keep going and going and the impact that your mind can have.  I've been listening to a group called Dispatch,  an American indie/roots folk jam band, while I run.  Music plays a big part in my life and helps me to get through the run with a little less pain.  I've always found my life to be one big musical.  I'm not sure what I'd name it though.  I just always have a song in my head and my emotions are so easily changed by the tunes.  With tonight's run, I kept repeating over and over Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."  So true... So true!

Here's a snapshot of the runkeeper I use with my iPhone to track my run.  Again, not the fastest time, but baby-steps!  =)

Caribbean Wedding Slideshows

A week ago today, I left for one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to... St. John U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.  Just east of St. Thomas, it is a rugged island with 3/4ths of it preserved as a National Park.  The clear blue water, beautiful sunset beaches, and rustic sugar mill ruins scattered throughout make it a utopia for photographers!  Take a few minutes and check out a few slideshows below!


CARIBBEAN CATAMARAN EXCURSION
The weather was perfect and the water was crystal clear from some good sailing and snorkeling!

Beautiful people on a beautiful island!

THE ANNABERG RUINS
Rustic ruins + Beautiful bride = PRICELESS!

SERIOUSLY??? I GET PAID TO DO THIS?

Seriously! I get paid to take BEAUTIFUL pictures (which I love) of BEAUTIFUL people (which I love) in BEAUTIFUL places (which I love)! Does it get any better than this?

Here's a sneak peak of a wedding I shot this past weekend in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. All the family and friends were a blast to hang out with and I hope to see them again soon! We took a catamaran out to do some snorkeling the day before and then talked the hot couple into getting dressed the day after to go to some of the sugar mill ruins on the island. It truly was an amazing trip that I cannot put into words. Hopefully the pictures can do some justice. Stay tuned for a few little slideshows of the three events!
