A lot has been happening around here since my last post. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Jasmin's family up in Phelan. We ate a ton of Turkey, Stuffing and all the fixins. We made a ton of tamales the entire time we were out there, that is pretty much ALL we did the days leading up to Thanksgiving day. It was really fun learning how to make them from start to finish, I can now appreciate all the hard work that goes into making them and understand why they are only made once a year! We ended up leaving around 10:00 at night and heading out to Heather's house for Black Friday festivities! We went to Wal-mart to partake in the craziness that is Black Friday and boy was it CRAZY! I have always heard stories about how incredibly insane things were but I did not fully understand until I had lived it myself. We arrived at Wal-mart around 11:30 PM and waiting it out until we were allowed to purchase items that were on sale. We were not allowed to even touch anything until they announced over the loud speaker at 5 in the morning that shopping was now allowed. There were hordes of people pushing and shoving trying to get to the items they wanted. Come 5 O' clock all hell broke loose! There was a ton of pushing and shoving going on and people snatching their wanted items left and right! It was really unlike any shopping experience I have ever had before. We did get all of the items that we went there for, I bought Jasmin a TomTom GPS, she has been wanting one! I also picked up a couple movies and a timer for the Chameleon lights! After we got home on Friday we slept for about 3 hours and woke up to spend a Post Thanksgiving day with my family. My aunt and my cousins came out and we had a complete feast! It was delicious! I have had a ton of turkey over the course of two days! Saturday was a 3rd Thanksgiving! We spent the afternoon/evening with Heather and Joel. We didn't have Turkey though, Heather and Joel each made their own pork tenderloin! It was like we were on Iron Chef! We were able to try both and enjoy both of their styles of cooking! It was a rather fun night! That is our Thanksgiving week/weekend!

Another reason this blog has been a little neglected is because school is almost over! The first semester is coming to a close, we only have 2 weeks left of school and our teachers are packing on the work! We have been so busy with homework! I do not know how we would be able to manage if we had full time jobs! I for one can not wait til the semester is over so I can focus on doing some more photography gigs and posting more here! I feel so bad for neglecting my readers! Speaking of... I want to thank you all who read my blog! I know it is not much but I have a blast posting up for everyone to read. My reader base has been growing too! Thank you all and keep reading! Tell  your friends too!

For one last note... Snake Sex has begun! It is now that time of year! I have begun pairing and have seen a couple locks! The males are actually on break right now but next time I pair I will take some photos!

Have a great week!

 Until Next Time...

Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching! I love this time of year, nothing beats spending time with family, friends and eating great food! Were going to be spending a majority of this week with Jasmin's family, It has been a while since we have hung out with her Grandma and the rest of her family. Were out in Phelan right now actually, I am blogging from the kitchen table staring out at the pitch black night. I love it out here, we go outside late at night and we can see the stars so well. It is absolutely breathtaking how beautiful the sky is at night when you don't have the city lights ruining it. I am actually going to try and take some long exposure shots of the sky and see what I can come up with, maybe even get some shooting stars. I have see quite a few while out here. After Thanksgiving on Thursday we are going to head back down to home. Were going to stop at Heather's and hit up that black Friday sales with her! It should be a crazy morning, I have never been shopping on black Friday! Once we get all the shopping our of our system we are going to head home to Long Beach to spend the day with my family. We are going to do the day after Thanksgiving feast. I can't wait, it is going to be a good time all week. Then the weekend will be just as fun but I will get into that later on!

This past week I mentioned a mock E-Session I was going to do with Heather and Joel. I was supposed to post some photos from the shoot but I never got around to it because we left for Phelan earlier than we had planned. I don't have all the photos from the shoot with me right now because I transferred them to my external hard drive before we left. I didn't think we were going to have the internet up here so I did not prepare photos for bloggity blog.  I do however have a couple pics that I had already watermarked and are ready for posting! I hope you enjoy! Thanks again Heather and Joel for letting me continuously shoot you!

Those are the only ones I have for now, Let me know what you think in the comments section!

Until Next Time...
