Friday

Had an exhausting day out shooting today, but I feel I got a lot accomplished! So thats good..
Everytime I'm downtown there is this one store that I frequently pass where the man sells ties and suits and such. I personally do not have a need for any of it, yet the man is always outside and always tries to get you to come into the store! EVERY TIME! So today as I was passing him I did everything I could to try to show that I was not interested (Not making eye contact etc...) and he STILL asked me to come in!
Then it HIT me.. This man must ask EVERY single person that comes by his store whether they are interested or not! MAAYBE this is what I should be doing with my photography business! I mean.. its a bit much I think, but what better way to get your name out then tell EVERY SINGLE PERSON you see whether they could use your service or not? Just a little food for thought that I came across..

Got some great shots of this little man today, although I did not catch his name or his Mommies contact info..  Please email me at toddbedo@gmail.com if you want the full size of any of these as these downsized versions will not print well!
He reminded me so much of my son Aspen I just couldnt resist!
Anyways much more to come from today and who knows what tomorrow will bring!

June!!

I just wanted to post that I am pretty stoked that it is June now.. Even though it feels like I've been away from Ashley FOREVER, if I look back on it time really is moving quickly! I still remember when I was two months away from my mid tour getting all excited! Now Im just a little over two months until coming home to my family PERMANENTLY! I have already promised that unless it is completely out of my control I will never leave their side again.. If I have to come back to Korea again, there is NO WAY its going to be without them this time.. Ash and I have been married over 3 years now and only spent half of that time together because of this job and that is not the way it is supposed to be at all.. We knew what we were in for when we signed up, but I dont think we quite realized exactly how things would turn out. Im so grateful though that I have such an amazing wife that supports me and is there for me through anything! Many marriages fail because of separation like ours, but I truly believe that we have only grown stronger from it, and now there is nothing that could ever take us apart!
I love you Ashley Ann.. and I cant wait to grow old with you :)
