I had the pleasure of attending my friend's wedding in September and the honor of shooting and putting together her wedding video. Unfortunately, I paid no attention to the technical aspects of video making and just made sure to engage people and capture all the moments. I then offered after everything was shot to put it together. So, you'll see many heads cut off :-/ and well, I did cut out the parts where my fingers blocked the lens. Good thing I wasn't the only cameraperson. Nevertheless, it was fun putting this together! (whilst groaning about the camerawork :) )

family entity

This is our first holiday season as Hoosband and Wifay.  Getting married made us a real-life family, autonomous from our own respective families.  And unbeknownst to us, THAT comes with our OWN set of holiday cards!  I received cards from my married friends and then some from uncles/aunts and family friends from whom I've never received holiday cards from before.

Then it occurred to us that we, as a family entity, must now produce our own holiday cards.  Seeing as we are new to this and were already behind the ball, we put together an e-card with iPhoto.  It was so easy and looks pretty professional.

We couldn't quite figure out how to download new themes, so if anybody knows, please pass on the info!

random outing of bows and arrows

I don't even remember what inspired the idea to do archery.  The last time I did archery I was 12 years old and at Foothill Sports camp.  We were in a green field and shooting at targets pinned to big bales of hay.  This is exactly the scene I have in mind when I think of archery.  But in NYC?  Nope, Queens Archery is located indoors in a very white warehouse type space.

Nevertheless, it was a blast!  We started the day off with bagels and cream cheese, and then got a lesson, whereupon I discovered all the newest advances in archery.  So much gear that I never knew of!  Made it so much easier than the Robin Hood type equipment that I used before.

Meanwhile there was a tournament going on.  I made that guy in the green shirt nervous.  He no likey pictures.

my nyc wknd

Unseasonably warm December weekend.

Got a haircut FINALLY.  Bangs, see?  I asked my hair stylist for something fun, and she gave me bangs and layers.  Not that exciting, and now I look like I'm 18 years old.

Went ice skating at the Wollman Rink in Central Park.

Spotted Kate Walsh!  Told her that I was a big fan and that I loved the show.  I lied - I think the show has really gone downhill.

Sister later found Kate Walsh's tweet.  I can't believe I'm not mentioned.

They DO have a trap door!  Only it's off to the side, so it's less... humiliating.
