YAYS!!

Eeek, it’s been a while. I’m not entirely sure what I’ve done the past few weeks, but I’ve seen a few movies. I saw the latest Die Hard, Transformers, among others and I enjoyed them both. Transformers definitely had its flaws, and the Autobots were a bit disappointing at the end, but overall, it was an enjoyable experience, and I wouldn’t mind seeing it again.

I got mixed up and thought that Jazz was the cop car in the beginning (actually, Prowl is the Autobot cop in the cartoons - I got him mixed up with Jazz, who is the Porsche), so that was confusing. That initial chase seen was pretty fun though, especially the beginning. I think they built up and executed that well. The music throughout the film was, generally, good as well.

Even though Die Hard 4 was much more over the top than the previous ones and PG-13, I still enjoyed it quite a bit.

I need to find some time to watch Ratatouille, which I’ve heard nothing but good things about… but that can wait. I’m sure it’ll be in theaters for a while.

Earlier today I went to Caleb and Millie’s wedding in Houston with my family. It was a nice wedding and they booked out an entire restaurant for everyone, which was pretty cool. They didn’t allow pictures during the ceremony, but here are a few from before/during the reception:

As usual, the rest are on my flickr.

I got a speeding ticket pulling into my neighborhood. =(

So… who still needs to take defensive driving? Haha…

I really need to bump that image of the 1D Mark III down a bit before it gets released or I fear there shall be no return for me. =)

I have been looking for a CF card and card reader for the past few weeks and I have no idea where it is. It’ll be a little while card reader (kinda Mac-ish), with a green 2GB Transcend CF card in it (I think). If anyone has seen it, please let me know. =) I thought I left it in my room, but I can’t find it anywhere.

Now, I must find something to eat…

Just upgraded WordPress… testing… hopefully you see this. =)

I have a ton of pictures from this past weekend… lots of Bazaarvoice party pictures, wedding pics, and baptism pics. I spent quite a while editing all of them!

Oye… and the rest are on my flickr.

One funny thing was that when I went to the wedding (which was in Houston), I realized I left my shoes in Austin… so I had my dressy shirt/pants, but silly flip-flops. Yays!

So a little while ago, I had this idea of something to do for my mom. I started early to give myself a good chance at getting it done before Mother’s Day. Well, things turned out to move a lot faster than expected and I got to surprise my mom with a pretty early Mother’s Day gift today.

Nearly every person that meets my mom always tells me how awesome she is. She’s the type of person that blesses everyone around her. Of every single person I’ve known in my life, I think she deserves this type of gift the most. It’s not uncommon for me to happen upon someone or a group of people that just blurts out “oh! I met/saw your mom today and she’s so sweet!” I’ve said this before, but all I can ever do is smile, nod, and agree because I know it’s true.

When Oriana got baptized she talked about how much our mom loves us. She pretty much brought everyone there to tears and I honestly don’t really know what else she talked about because I was too busy crying and trying to take pictures through my tears. You know a love is strong when a 15 year old girl can say one sentence and convey such a powerful emotion that an entire crowd will weep with joy. I think everyone was touched because the love that she’s shown us was so strong, that through just a few words, they got to feel a little of what true love is like. Of all the loves I’ve seen and experienced, the love my mom has not only shown to us as her kids, but to everyone around her, has been the strongest and truest. It is through her love that I get a glimpse of what God’s love is like and I have been incredibly blessed by that.

There is nothing I can do to repay my mom for being so wonderful, but today I got to give her something she very much deserves. She’s done so many things and blessed so many people, it was my honor and pleasure to give something I knew she wanted to her. Enjoy, Mommy, and happy (early) Mother’s Day. I wouldn’t trade you for the world. =)

Thanks for Kat for taking pics.

I did something stupid today, hopefully nothing bad will come of it. =)

So I went to the doctor this morning and found out that the lump in my foot is a ganglion cyst, which is rather harmless. That is good. =)

My company, Bazaarvoice, which is quite awesome, is looking to hire a lot of people. Check out the jobs page and drop me an email if you’re interested. I cannot express how exciting and fun it is to work there. =)

In the words of the great Steve Balmer:

“I have four words for you! I… love… this… company… yeeaaaah!”
