I have a headache...

...from missing her.

LOFT TSUNAMI

There are boxes everywhere. I am drowning in boxes. Can't...breath....

Ok, it's not quite THAT bad, but it's bad. We have WAY too much stuff. Time to purge purge purge! Settling in is going to take a while...perhaps several months.

Trying not to stress.

Moving Once Again

It's been a while since I last posted anything on my blog. Where to start....

Amber and I are moving to a artist's loft community downtown in less than a week!

TK LOFTS

It's a big space so we will be able to set up a small photo studio in it, as well as have an office and room to store our stuff! It's also a building with fellow artists like ourselves, so we will hopefully get inspired to create and grow our photo businesses. The down side is that there is no parking, no balcony, and the neighborhood is a bit dodgy at night. We will get it sorted, but it will be a definite change to living here on the hill.

Still kickin'

May get a place at TK artist's lofts downtown! We will soon see....

NYC

Staying with my friend Myles in Brooklyn exploring the city day and night. Been here 2 full days and already I'm exhausted.

More traveling, more time with friends and family, falling in love...

In Iowa visiting family and friends. heading to NYC in a couple of days to visit more friends and hopefully show my portfolio around. I'm quickly trying to update my website which is in DIRE need of it. My idea that it would only take a "few hours" has become a much bigger overhaul. The most important thing that's happened since I've last written is that I've fallen for a fantastic woman in Seattle. She's beautiful in so many ways and we seem like a really good match. Suddenly my life feels entirely blessed once again...I only wish I was getting more photo work and had a place to live. Since she is in Seattle, I will be too, at least for the time being. I won't be heading down to San Francisco in August as I'd rather be with this woman than anywhere else in the world. Being with her feels like traveling.

In Limbo

I know, it's been too long. I had no time to write while I was traveling, and upon returning to Seattle I found myself needing some time to settle. I'm still not settled. In fact, I feel like I am in some strange limbo between places that I don't really like much at all. I am currently staying with my friends Chris and Kate. My summer sublet in San Francisco just fell through completely a few days ago so I am trying to figure out what I'm going to do. I am searching craigslist for places but have yet to land a room to live in. I also have discovered that I have gotten Lyme disease while I was in Italy. There were lots of tiny ticks around when walking through the forest and I picked off about 5 while I was there. Apparently one of them was a carrier and now...well I just started getting the tell-tale red target rash on my leg. This is still the early stage of the disease so I just have to take antibiotics for the next month or so. 85% of the time this will take care of it if it's done early enough. Otherwise, it could become a serious problem. Fantastic! What else? I'm getting audited on Thursday, so I have that to look forward to as well. Bad luck comes in threes right? I'm not really down about any of this, just a little...humored, I suppose, that life can take such turns so quickly. I still feel like one of the luckiest people in the world for having the life I've had, and the people I have in my life are all a big part of that feeling.
