Ten

Ten years ago we wed.

Ten days we drove in our little Honda Fit to celebrate.

Ten decades from now I hope I still get to hold your hand as I fall asleep.

Even if we make it that far, it will never be enough.

So I choose to live.

To live in the moment.

Always, here with you.

Ten.

 -Dedicated to my Trevor

My husband and I celebrated our tenth anniversary by exploring Nevada, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. We kicked off the trip with seeing a performance of the Love Beatles show and then headed east to get in touch with our inner John Muir. We experienced the Grand Canyon, Four Corners, Mesa Verde, Glenwood Springs cavern, a ghost tour at the haunted Stanley Hotel where Stephen King was inspired to write The Shining, the Denver Zombie Crawl, Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon and Meteor Crater. It was our first road trip. Our first of what will hopefully be many.

Con!!!!!!!!!

I realize I have been neglecting my blog as of late.  In the past couple of weeks I attended the San Diego Comic-Con and the Star Trek Las Vegas Con.  Too busy being nerdy more than usual I guess. I took a ton of photos at both Cons so here are the highlights. For Comic-Con I decided to do a little photo project instead of just taking the typical Con photos.  Prior to Comic-Con I had just finished crocheting a Bender for some friends who live across the pond.  I thought it would be fun to have one last romp in the U.S. before he began his life over in the U.K and have him take photos with various writers, actors, toys and costumers.

Here he is with Big Daddy Bender

If you'd like to see more of Bender's adventures click on the slideshow below.  It includes meeting the writer of Scott Pilgrim Bryan Lee O'Malley and comedian Peter Serafinowicz!

And this highlight that occurred at the Star Trek Con happened must unexpectedly.  I caught The Shat photobombing a group of unsuspecting costumers.

It was Picture of the Day over at TrekMovie.com on August 14, 2010 and this moment will most likely be in his current movie in production called Captains!

Another fantastic highlight was being able to attend a photography seminar by Leonard Freaking Nimoy.  I have enjoyed his work for sometime now which you can see here http://www.rmichelson.com/Artist_Pages/Nimoy/pages/Leonard-Nimoy-Gallery.html.  When I heard he would be talking about his latest project called Secret Selves I jumped at this rare chance to learn directly from one of my idols.

If you'd like you can view all the photos from the Star Trek Con over on my Flickr.

Live long and prosper.
