MHA MOMENTS

Ok - so I do not have any viewers, yet... But all that is going to change VERY soon! I have found the best webhosting/design website for artists like me! I am so incredibly excited about the website I put together and will be launching it sometime in the next few days! Yes it will need tweaking since I am way too anxious to get it up and running, but with in the coming months I should have it pretty much perfected with links, photos of my work and whatever else I can think of as I go. Last weekend I was surfing the net - and this is why I love Google so much - I stumbled upon a another photographers website (admiring how professional it looked) and I happened to notice a small - itty bitty icon at the top of his page, so what else is there to do then to CLICK on it? Right? :P So that icon took me to Other Peoples Pixels and well - they have taken my anxioty of finding a reasonable/affordable web design site away. They are the perfect match of design and webhosting all wrapped up in...

So, this year has started on a different note for me. Several things have happened, several things that have shown how strong I can be and learning experiences I didn't think would happen so soon. For all intent purposes, it is better I have found and experienced this now rather than later. Some have said blogging can be therapeutic, and I agree, however for me it is a way to say some views to those who may be concerned of my well being that may not be able to come out of the woodwork to see how I am doing by not feeling it is morally correct to communicate through email or phone. Either way I want them all to know I am doing better and I am moving a long day by day, going with the flow and staying confident and optimistic through it all and above all still trying to have fun. Love to have that fun... I do miss the friends and family I had become close to, but I understand how sometimes in unfamiliar circumstances it can be clouded of what is right and what is wrong to do. Unco...

Me & Mr. Jones Originally uploaded by MHA Photography / Michele & Dave On November 3, 2007, I met Mr. James Earl Jones at a Block Party event in Doylestown. Here is a photo my mother took (I unfortunately forgot to change the settings to Auto on my camera, hence it is so contrasty). You are probably wondering why he was at a block party in Doylestown, well let me tell you. There is a new makeover show in town and it is all about upgrading your technology with Verizon FiOs . They are testing (I believe) this new venture with 5 families, one happening to be in, you guessed it, Doylestown. The Buckley Family ! Congratulations! How did I find out about this great new show you ask? A very dear old friend of mine is a part of the show. He is in fact one of the Tech Gurus who makes incredible Rockin inventions for each family, he is so good at what he does, they've dubbed him "Mad Scientist". Let me tell you he has made some incredible inventions over the years I've ...

Hello again to any out there. The past few months have been busy, busy, and more busy with Weddings, parties and well you name it and I couldn't quite get to blog. So, this past weekend I rounded up the last of my Weddings with the exception of one Reception which will be in December and also the great "Breakfast with Santa" hosted by the Moms Club of Buckingham. A fun great Charity I've had the honor of doing 3 years in a row now. Truly fun to see all the kids smiling up or um, crying up at Santa... ;) I've also just recently completed a CD to give to the Charity I volunteered to photograph on September 22, 2007, called Operation First Response. St. Andrews, the church I got married at threw a great fund raiser and silent auction for this great cause which helps our wounded heroes who come home and are financially in need. http://www.operationfirstresponse.org/ There were all kinds of fun activities with face painting to dunk tank to military vehicles. ...

So it has been yet another month since I posted. It has been one hectic month with many ups and downs. I've been on Jenny Craig now for 6 weeks total and loss of a total 5.8Ibs with 5.5 inches off. Not TOO bad considering I was already semi-healthy. I have 20Ibs more to go. I hope to get it all off and keep it all off until I am at least 60... ;) Still striving to get my website built - it has been more stressful than I care to mention. But I do have a layout out invisioned now that is simple, elegant and easy to manage (I hope) :) I have also been photographing Weddings and other misc. things are getting accomplished. There is so many it is hard to complete all of them. But so far so good. I will definately put more photos up within the coming weeks. I just want to get one thing accomlished at a time so I am not overwhelmed with deadlines. Also the Months of July and August is Birthday Season - broke time - so Weddings in the midst of birthdays is, well, let's just say my hous...

Since I've been neglecting my blog I've decided to go with the flow rather than give a time line from last year and pretty much do what I've been supposed to be doing from the beginning - just blog! Yup - just blog! *laugh* I guess because I wanted to start from last year and catch up I started to procrastinate which leads to nothing getting done - which means no one consistently reading and keeping whomever may or may not be reading coming back to...well... read and view. Needless to say I will eventually get to our Honeymoon, my appearance on the Weekend Edition of the Today Show 2006 (awesome experience), all the 2006 Engagements and Weddings and even further back favorite photos, family gatherings and whatever experiences come my way. Tonight I wanted to start with something that happened today! Our newest cousin's Christening! Yes people - today - it happened today... Don't faint. Ryan Joseph Gross - newest cousin - son of George & Lori Gross III and su...

PIRATE NIGHT - Continued from last post... Pirate night was a blast for the kids as well as the adults. It was Disney at it's best on a Cruise ship. A great show with all the Characters as well as fireworks! Yup this ship had fireworks. Supposedly the only one that does it. Then again, I've never been on another Cruise so who knows. They had a sing along on stage for the kids (Skylar was down in front seeing everything), then Mickey flying through the sky to rescue us from Captain Hook. Then Fireworks in Celebration of the rescue. And finally a showing of Pirates of the Caribbean, but I think we went to bed in the middle of it. After all it was almost 1am. Minnie and Goofy dancing it up! Skylar up on the Big Screen! Can you pick her out? Stitch even showed up... :) Taking time out from Hawaii. Andrea looking Beautiful. Kaleel - not sure if he was exhausted or just plain surprised at the camera. Uh, I think he was exhausted because I think this was the first time I sa...
