New photos (9/22/12)
I’ve been debating on whether or not to keep my Flickr Pro account. I’ve always liked Flickr, but $25 a year just seems a bit much for what I’m getting out of it.
So, for the time being, I’ve let my Flickr Pro account expire.
In the meantime, here are some photos I’ve snapped recently of our boys and a couple sites around Dallas today (Laurie actually snapped some of the Dallas ones while I was driving).

A stormy night in Forney
Well there’s always a first for everything… And last night was one of those nights.
Our area was hit with what seemed like wave after wave after wave of storms last night with a number or reported tornados.
As the storms approached, the threat didn’t seem too bad, but after several of the severe storm cells passed to the north of us, one was reported roughly 20 miles south of us.

I’m not buying it – The Super Bowl & Sex Trade
Traffick911 in the Dallas area has launched a number of PSAs just in time for the Super Bowl to raise awareness and to help fight human trafficking.

Snow day #snowpocalypse
We weren’t expecting much snow (if any) this year – but we were pleasantly surprised by a nice covering of snow yesterday afternoon.
Rough estimate, I’d say we received 2-3 inches in our neck of the woods — perhaps more in some areas.
I shot some video of the #snowpocalypse on my Flip Ultra HD and then Laurie also shot some video on her iPhone 4. It was interesting to see the contrast in how each camera handled the white balance.
See for yourself…
Makes me wonder how much longer we’ll keep carrying around video cameras and such alongside our phones…
Remembering 4 years ago
It was 4 years and one week ago (Oct. 28, 2006) that I proposed to my wonderful bride Laurie.
Who knew what the next 4 years would entail.
We went back and visited that same spot yesterday…
We never would have planned things the way they’ve happened — but I don’t think we’d change a thing.
I love you Laurie! I’m so proud of you and can’t wait to live the rest of my life with you and our two boys.
