Furry Friends 09.29.08


Furry Friends 09.29.08, originally uploaded by xChrisZx.

So today at 1:05 I sit down in front of our new tv, turn it on and go to channel 9 only to find out that the White Sox game has been put on a rain delay. So instead of going back to the cleaning that I had been doing earlier that day I took out my camera & popped off a few shots of the furry friends that live with us.

You can check out the rest of the pictures HERE.

Right now we have 2 dogs & 2 cats.

Diamond, a black lab & pit bull mix. Probably the sweetest dog on the block (unless you are a squirrel then sadly you are being chased across the yard). We found her at the Michiana Humane Society 2 weeks before we closed on out house. The Humane Society was wonderful enough to hold her for us & we actually picked her up right before we signed the papers on our house.

Lilly, the grey tabby. We picked up Lilly from the Humane Society about 2 weeks after we got Diamond. To be honest she is kind of lazy (like most cats) & if someone enters the bathroom she has to be in there also & will cry until you let her in.

Saffron (we call her Saffie), is a puggle. Unlike most puggles who are half pug & half beagle she is 3/4 pug & only a 1/4 beagle. Monica & I were grocery shopping one day when we ran into some friends of hers & they mentioned that they had puppies & if we were interested we could come by & take one home with us.

Ginger, the orange tabby. Ginger is another Humane Society rescue & is probably the strangest cat you will ever met. I have woke up early many mornings to her sitting on my chest & licking my face.

Long time no blog... Things have been really busy around here.

In Michigan City the South Shore train runs right down the middle of 11th street. I was driving around town and it was stopped so I hopped out of my car real quick and snapped a few shots.

I only posted a few but of course you can view the rest of them HERE.


We also purchased a new car yesterday. A 2007 Toyota Matrix!
I will snap some pictures of that soon and post them up here.

Long time no blog...

For the past few days we have been relaxing in New Jersey and New York City with some awesome friends.
Our friend Tom took us to Point Pleasant, NJ the other day where we walked along the beach and Monica swam. I of course brought my camera and popped off a few shots here and there.

You can check out the rest of the pictures here...

NYC is a wonderful place and if you haven't checked it out you need to ASAP! Great food, great records stores and just the overall feel is awesome.

Monday we are going to a White Sox vs. Yankees game at Yankee Stadium!

We are out here until Tuesday then we make the trek back home to Indiana.

Last night we shot a great wedding for Joe & Stephanie in Basking Ridge, NJ. I will get some of those shots up very soon!

Quick Update...

This past Sunday Monica and I were lucky enough to shoot a wedding with out friend Robyn from Studio R Photography.

The day started out at the Embassy Suites hotel and then moved on to the Chicago Botanical Gardens.

If you haven't been to the Gardens you need to check it out. It's such a beautiful place.
