  I know this post has a lot of pictures mainly because I couldn’t decide which ones I liked the most so I just posted all of them hahaha.  Anyways, I did a engagement shoot a few weeks back for Greg and Wendy and boy did we have a blast.  Greg and Wendy are such a awesome couple who love Christ, have a passion for people and life.  It shows through their relationship with each other and people they meet.  I can’t wait till their wedding day…we’re going to have so much fun! =)  Thanks again for a awesome time and I hope you all enjoy this set!  =)  Stay tuned for more photos from another engagement and other shoots I’ve been on!  

  Random Blurps:

  So gas prices are literally costing American’s a arm and a leg.  I filled up Monday last week at $4.22/gal and by Friday that week it was $4.37.  A 15 cent increase in less than one week is just crazy its like hyper inflation.  Today I filled up at $4.45/gal at my local Chevron.  Diesel is already over $5 bucks and before you know it so will gasoline.  

  Hybrid cars are among popular demand but do they really save you money in the long run?  I’ve read articles say it doesn’t but who knows?  Environmentally friendly?  Sure!  Resale value on those cars are probably top dollar especially if you own a Prius.  Does anyone know the cost of replacing a hybrid battery?  Supposedly they are pretty expensive.  

  McCain or Obama?  Whose its going to be?  If you want my honest opinion about the whole campaign…I don’t like any of the candidates! =)  I’ll leave it at that, politics can get messy and if you want to talk politics…please join me for coffee Id love to hear what you have to say!  =)  

  Food prices remain on the rise but I’ve found that businesses like Trader Joe’s have stable prices vs. Major chain grocery stores.  Most people tend to think places like that or Co Ops are more expensive and they can be but you can definitely get a few good buys.  

  Mom & Pop vs. Franchise Restaurants…nothing beats Mom and Pop places for some good old home cooking for any cuisne…American, Asian, Mexican, Mediterranean…you name it.  Most of the time I find myself at more privately owned places to eat.  When a restaurant is just itself there is a uniqueness about each places verses Applebee’s  which by the way is on the downhill corporately since way back but companies like Apple Bee’s I believe have a good recipe.  It’s not that the market for is bad but simply bad management, bad employee’s and companies taking short cuts to meet the demand of people.  In a sense demand goes up is good but for companies like Apple Bee’s it lead to microwave food, poor service and quality that just seems to diminish.  I still remember the first time the restaurant opened back in the early 90′s and it was a awesome place.  Nice feel and atmosphere that invites people of all ages.  Companies like In & Out Burger for example is a great company with a great product.  Simple is how they keep it and its worked well for them.  If I’m not mistaken they are NOT franchise but still family owned.  What’s In and Out’s secret?  Well for one thing they are consistent, customer service is excellent most of the time and most of the time foods are always created fresh and right on the spot.  You’d think places like Apple Bee’s would make you food on the spot when you order but truth of the matter is their foods are either frozen, prepackaged, sitting under heat lamps and reheated in the microwave.  How do I know, well ask my friend who used to work there hahaha.  

  Ok…I’ve rambled enough!  Until next time…

  Cheers,
  Steve
