Jen & I went out for a date this evening. Stopped by a Goodwill store & picked up a cool folding stool for photography work. Can't beat 5 bucks! Later, we went to Pedro's in Brookfield for dinner. Definitely a fun night out.
While we were running around, we stopped at an AT&T store to check out Apple's new iPhone. In a word - AMAZING! It's a bit pricey right now - $499 for the 4GB model & $599 for the 8GB, but some of the tech websites I frequent are anticipating retail prices in the $250 range within a year or so. Still seems like a lot until I figured out it'd take the place of my cellphone, PDA, MP3 player, plus it's got an ok digital camera to boot.
Can you believe this year makes it 7 years Jen & I have been married? Where has the time gone? Think of all the life changes that have taken place - moving from Whitewater to live here at camp, Jen graduating from college, her first teaching job, my promotions here at Timber-lee, and most recently, our daughter Olivia!
Grandma & Grandpa Prowitz (that's still weird to say!) came down Sunday and watched Olivia while Jen and I spent a nice evening in Lake Geneva, sharing dinner and gourmet ice cream cones.
I got a fire call at 12:30am this morning for a 2 car 10-50 just north of camp. I ended up doing traffic control, which would've ended just before 2am...had the drunk guy on the motorcycle not come to my intersection. Him falling off his bike was a bit of a clue. I called on the radio for our chief and sheriff deputies to come to the scene. My friend Tony saw the guy toss something into the woods when the sheriff arrived - turned out to be a GUN wrapped in a bandanna. He was promptly arrested and we had to fill out witness statements in case the case goes to trial.I finally got home around 4am & went to bed.
Tee hee! I just got my new DSLR today, a Nikon D80. God has provided a number of photo jobs this summer that have more than paid for this upgrade in equipment, plus I was able to bless a photographer friend with my older camera. In his words, I'm his "new best friend." He's a gifted photographer with a young family & not a lot of extra spending money. I look forward to seeing some of his new shots.
Hallelujah!
Over the past few weeks I've been having "hallelujah moments." There are so many different things that I look at in my life that make me want to shout "Hallelujah!"
My daughter's smile
My wife's love
God's provision for unexpected car repairs
My job at Timber-lee
My health
Sunsets over Peters Lake
Working with kids at our climbing tower
Friends
Family
Etc.
There is seemingly no end to reasons to proclaim "hallelujah!" to the One who is indeed worthy of all I have, all that I am.
Check out the update to my photography website, www.prowitzphoto.com. I had some ideas kicking around my head for the past couple weeks, so I took advantage of some down time while I waited for my truck to be repaired & dove in.
Eight total hours later, the site is up & functioning. Let me know what you think.
Holy cow! This holiday now applies to me! It was pretty cool to get cards, and a really cool Starbucks photo mug filled with pics of Olivia (she made it herself, with safety scissors I hear!)
I'm so blessed to be given the opportunity to raise such a beautiful little girl.
