 Committed to great photography! yes all my friends will tell you that I love capturing that special moment with my blinding flash.  Monday night I took extreme photography to a whole other level as I took a challenge and crashed.

Monday was my first day back from Vacation and also one of those days at work so Kenny and I decided that we were going on the river walk downtown Des Moines to enjoy the nice spring weather and takes pictures of the new bridge work that has been done. I was in the moment I felt at peace and I could see the skyline lit up between the arc of the bridge but as always my short legs got in the way of getting that "picture perfect moment" so up I went. I thought that If I could just get on this big rock I would have it! with a good run and a jump I was there......and then I wasn't....CRASH, and then CRACK! Yep I was on the ground after a hard fall off the rock and onto another and then I'm guessing a roll to the ground. I laughed, I was completely embarrassed and not sure if I was going to cry for the pain and fear of almost dying.

I may have not gotten the Picture that I paid for but I learned a lesson and currently on my way with a new fashion statement, the left arm sling.  A broken rib and fractured shoulder later im still here providing moments of failure and lots of laughs to my friends.
Here are the few (unedited) pictures I did get, sorry they are a little blurry I was still in shock and pain lol

A super GAY surprise!!

Gay, definition of happiness and joy or most commonly used as a description of homosexuality. This past weekend I experienced a surprised filled with both homos and happiness. As much as I love my friends that live in Des Moines I have the same love for my friends in Chicago and with our crazy lives its so hard to see and talk to them. Well after a very challenging work week my presents was requested to go out on an "old times" bar crawl. My friend Kyle put together a night starting at my place getting ready and pre gamming with wine....LOTS OF WINE! The night started with my roommate Dusty and I, our friend Craig, Kyle and his Boyfriend Kyle. We started our night with 4 bottles of wine and some good story telling getting caught up on each others lives, the usual drama, work, sex, ect and then off and running we went to one of the local gay bars Le Boi Bar. It was a blast I was getting so Drunk having a great time seeing my friends when suddenly I saw this amazing smile but unfamiliar "Des Moines" face. Doug, Bobby and Chris drove to Des Moines for a quick weekend getaway!! I was shocked and a little rude at first as i have uncontrollable emotions and I wasn't sure If this was real or If i was so drunk I was dreaming. All in All I got over it and I was so happy to see everyone together and alot of my other friends were out, from there it was all SHOTS!

Saturday night was so much fun,it had some moments but In all for me it was a blast. When I woke up the next morning I was a mess I sat in the shower for 30 mins, when I herd my phone go off I knew it was game time I had a text that the boys were ready for round two. Off and running I went to chug some water, get dusty up, down the aspirin(again) and put on my big girl pants for SUNDAY FUNDAY!

Sunday was a BLAST! WE had lunch downtown and then off to the Saddle to be over served by stinky. The saddle is always an interesting place esp on Sunday, we were all drunk dancing and yelling obscenities and all the old gay men stare in lust of wanting to cop a feel. After the Saddle headed to the Garden's teen show and had more drinks and SHOTS and at this point everyone is crossing the border from drunk to wasted and then on to Le Boi to finish the night. During our dance party at Le Boi i had a lil run in as one of our drunk party members took a dive backwards outside onto the cement while waiting for a cab. Busted his head open and it was all down hill from there, convulsions and the works until the hot paramedics showed up to take him to the hospital. After I got cleaned up I was alil shake in by the cold and the events that had just happened but like I have always said I have the most amazing friends who warmed me up with SHOTS! and then I ended the night on the couch with a headache drunk and pre good bye tears.

Monday 6 am.... only had 3 hours of sleep, tired and not wanting to go to work had to wake Doug up to go get his rental car and say good bye. I'm terrible at goodbyes esp with those I love it hits me hard and so as he drove back to my place to get some sleep before the boys leave I made my trek into work only to have a half my tissues gone and puddle tears on my desk. This weekend was amazing and I still cant believe that I got the best surprise ever! It was amazing and much needed and I haven't been that happy in while!
