bragging on the husband

For those of you who don't know, I happen to be married to quite a talented photographer (which comes in handy for self-indulgent photoshoots and travel documentation!). Last Friday he had the opportunity to display some of his work at an Art Night held by some really great friends. He actually ended up selling several pieces in order to raise money for a crazy, cool documentary he's filming next month. He's actually following several cyclists as they ride from L.A. to Charleston to raise money for reconciliation projects in Burundi (a country in central Africa which shared the same genocide as Rwanda did). You can keep track of the ride here if you want to!

I am so, SO proud of him for doing this, even though it means I'll be flying solo here for about a month!




Right now he doesn't have a website for his non-wedding/portrait stuff (ie. everything that's up on these walls). 

Oh, and also, I finished the chalkboard!!! (YAY!) Here's the finished product (with a bonus note from the husband):


The chalkboard paint gave me a bit of a rough time. It didn't go on very smoothly, but in the end I think it turned out well.

So that was my week off. Back to the wonderful world of writing next week! I have revisions for a *different* novel to work on. So it's back to the revision cave (although I think this one won't be as all encompassing/stressful). Weeh!

    1. Yes, I shall miss him vastly, but I know the project will be awesome. I am slightly green with envy that he'll be seeing all these places (ie. the Grand Canyon and everything else between here and there) without me! *travel envy*
