(This was carved into a large rock at Mount Diablo. I find it fascinating that people carve their names on trees, boulders, picnic tables, etc. It's like they are saying, "I was here. I matter.")
On February 19, 1973, I was 7 years old probably looking forward to my upcoming 8th birthday that was only 7 days away. At the time, I think my family had recently moved to Garland, Texas from Ponce, Puerto Rico. I was the goalie for our soccer team, the Eastgate Gators. My mom was the coach. Living in Texas was a fun time for me. I have good memories of playing outside a lot with my best buddies, Anne and her brother Howard.
pam — Let's see. I was nine, in fourth grade, and living in Defiance, Ohio. If it was February, there was probably slush on the ground, and my baby brother and I were clomping around in our rain boots, making large-scale patterns all over the yard. Then the school bus would round the corner, and I would jump on and ride out to school in the middle of farm country. ( April 9, 2009 @ 5:11 pm )
lynette — I was nine years old leaving on Bruce Avenue in Modesto. I don't remember much except for my sister who is 9 years older than me was dating & got married in July of 1973. ( April 12, 2009 @ 7:44 pm )
Gretchen — I was a little over a year and a half living in Las Vegas and probably running wildly down the hall while my mother gave chase trying to put my hair up in pig tails. ( July 30, 2009 @ 9:11 pm )

Before I head out of town this weekend…I thought I’d post a few photos from yesterday wonderful photo shoot…I’ll post the slideshow when I get back next week…
Yesterday I had such a great time in Old Town Auburn with Jessica & Mike. We went up to play a little and grab some fun engagement photos. It was so fun just being with these two and learning a bit more of their story. I love how they build each other up and how comfortable they are together.
Mike & Jess, I am really looking forward to photographing your wedding next year!
Susan — Beautiful photos of a beautiful couple. Thanks so much for sharing. I look forward to seeing the rest next week. ( November 6, 2008 @ 9:32 am )
