The Face behind the Name....!

Erika's mother, Jessica, lives with us, but she's dodging the camera. I'll catch her one day. My youngest daughter, Nikki, lives here in town. No recent pictures, but an interesting story to read, if you're feeling bored...

Dave, I also read the blog, I couldn't stop until I finished it. You are an amazing father with an equally amazing strong and beautiful daughter. My prayers for you to find a job and my kudos to Nikki for her bravery and her indominible spirit.

Ditto, Dave. You and Nikki both deserve the best!

Wow, great pictures by everyone, great to place the Sheltie with the human, or the picture with the screenname, however you want to put it!

I figured everyone has seen Ella, the color headed white, so it's time to post some pictures of me and my family.

I'm getting married in October at the ripe old age of 26 =). Here are some of the shots from our engagement session. (ps, I'm the guy in case you were wondering)

I also wondered what people do for a living too. I work several different jobs, but my 9-5 is for a Human Rights Monitoring Firm where I speak Spanish all day organizing social compliance audits to take place at factories all over the world.

But my true passion is soccer, and I am Director of Public Relations for the National Premier Soccer League and also sit on the exec board of the league. I also work for a sports agency called Agoge Sports and am developing a program to help foreign players come to the US to earn college soccer scholarships and attend university for free (mostly from poor countries around the world).

So, combined with Ella, I'm a busy guy!

Also prayers and thanks go out to Dave for sharing us with his story. It's an amazing one, and one that I hope everyone takes the time to read.

We'll continue to keep you guys in our thoughts!

Your engagement photos are stunning! I particularly like the last one. It looks so natural, with her hair blowing and you looking like your hiding some wonderful secret!

So what do I do for a living. In hig school, I planned to be a psychologist. After taking a few of the courses, I decided that there was NO WAY I could do that the rest of my life. So I quite and went to work instead as a bookkeeper. Some 20+ years later, I'm VP Corporate Services (Finance, Admin, HR, IT, QA) for Canadian Automobile Association. I love my job! Great work-life balance!

Your photos are wonderful, you to look great together! I am currently a stay at home mom, but I worked for a number of years in the hotel industry as a Guest Services Representative and Front Desk Supervisor. My real passion, other than my kids, grand-kids and pets is community theater. I love to watch it, costume it, and even act in it if I am lucky enough to be cast!! My kids are all into theater also, my middle daughter is hoping to make acting her career and my youngest daughter aspires to be a fight choreographer for the stage.

How fascinating! I did alot of theater in high school. (I had no choice - I sucked at art and music). It was the one thing that truly brought me out of my shy spell. Best part I ever played: The White Queen in Alice in Wonderland! I stole my mom's wig (she had a spare) and sprayed it white!. Bread and butter, bread and butter, bread and butter....! My best friend was very jealous because she played a Dodo!
