Good Reads

I tend to be a person that reads in waves. Sometimes I can't get enough of books and other times I'm perfectly fine going a few weeks without reading anything particular.

I just recently finished up an extremely interesting and moving book called "The Same Kind of Different than Me". I borrowed it from a friend who highly recommended it. Tim just finished up "Good to Great" and I'll probably snag that up next. I don't know about you guys, but I tend to get really intimidated about picking out what to read. I feel like it's so hard to just randomly choose the right book, which is way I pretty much only read books that have been recommended to me. So here's my question, do you have a must read or a great book you've recently read?
(I'm mostly a non-fiction reader but branch out every now and then.)

Here are a few goodies I've read lately:
Love One Another by Gerald L. Sittser
Millionaire Women Next Door by Thomas Stanley PhD (a little text bookie)
Fast Track Photographer by Dane Sanders

All time favs:
The Bible (NLT version)
Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey
Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne

Rudy + Kari : Anniversary Celebration

Rudy and Kari are approaching their 5 year anniversary and to celebrate they just took a week vacation together in Disney World! The night before they left they began the celebration by having me take some pictures of the two of them and how in love they still are. They have something else great to celebrate this year, their first child, a little boy! Kari was in that just starting to look cute and pregnant stage. Kari helps Rudy run his photography business when she's not teaching. Rudy has been photographing in Fort Wayne for several years. We actually met when he was in a wedding of a friend I was photographing. It was great to hang out with these two again. May they enjoy the journey of becoming parents!

500 Parade

Last Saturday I had a real Indianapolis experience by attending the 500 Parade downtown. I was blown away with how many people were there to watch and how impressive the Parade was. Having a bottle of water, sunscreen and a ticket for a seat on the bleachers is a must. (I had all but the ticket to a seat)

My personal favorite was the my little pony inflatable. I had the pony castle with drawbridge (from a garage sale) and the stables for all of my ponies. As much as I liked the little ponies (I had pony sheets too) I really had no desire to have a real pony. Anyway, I'm glad they are making a come back for little girls today.

I love how sweet the last picture is. These two little boys near me, saw a soldier in uniform and stopped to ask him for an autograph.
